Set on Milan's famous Viale Luigi Majno, just five minutes from the beautiful Giardini Indro Montanelli and the conveniently located Palestro metro station right on your doorstep, it's perfectly suited for those after a quintessentially Italian stay in the heart of the city. The apartment is decorated in a typical Milanese style, with antique furnishings, teeming bookshelves and elegant pieces of fine art, creating an old-world interior with heaps of character. Take it easy in the living space – perhaps you'll flop down on the sofa with a coffee table read, or pull up a bistro-style chair at the dining table, mapping out the day's agenda as you slurp a cappuccino. Elsewhere, you'll find a grand home office space for those keeping one eye on work, and two comfortable double bedrooms with navy blue-painted walls and sumptuous silk bedding. After a quick snooze in the quiet bedrooms, head off for a jam-packed afternoon of sightseeing. Walk across the billowing gardens and internal courtyard to the metro and reach many of the city's cultural attractions in no time at all, including the Duomo di Milano and the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II – both ten minutes from your door. Home truths: *This is a ground-floor apartment, so it might be suitable for those with limited mobility *The kitchen is more of a kitchenette, better suited to preparing simple meals *The apartment block has a doorman to welcome you in upon entry *The bedroom curtains are not black-out, light sleepers should pack an eye mask
