Holiday Homes and Apartments in Milan

Milan is where Italianway started and where we have most properties: we manage around 1,000 homes in the city ourselves. Here you will find what is available and the guides that explain which area suits you, depending on why you are coming.

The apartments

Short let apartments across all the areas that matter: the centre and Brera for a first visit to Milan, the Navigli for nightlife, Porta Romana and Porta Venezia for families, Isola and Porta Nuova for business, Città Studi and Lambrate for long stays, and the Fiera area for anyone heading to Rho.

If you are staying a month or more, long stays have their own rates and terms.

The Milan guides

Milan is a city of neighbourhoods with very little in common, and choosing the wrong one means spending your stay on public transport. These guides go into detail:

• Where to stay in Milan: a guide to the best areas — the good and bad of every neighbourhood, including the ones to avoid
• Where to stay near San Siro — for concerts and matches, with the logistics of getting home
• Where to stay for concerts — every venue in the city and which part of town it is in
• Milan for trade fairs — the convenient areas for Rho Fiera and how to get there

Getting around

In Milan the right question is not “centre or suburbs” but how close you are to the metro. The network has five lines and covers practically every point of interest, the exhibition centre and the stadium included: a semi-central neighbourhood with a station downstairs is more convenient than a central address far from public transport, and it costs noticeably less.

A car in the city is more of a problem than a solution, between the Area C charge, restricted traffic zones and expensive parking: if you are driving, check first whether your accommodation has a space.

When to come

Milan is a city for every season, and each one has its own reason to come. The busiest periods are the big events — the Salone del Mobile in April, the fashion weeks in February and September, the major Rho fairs in autumn: for those dates it pays to book well in advance.

Summer is the season of the big concerts at San Siro and the Ippodromo, of evenings outdoors along the Navigli and of day trips to the lakes, with Como and Lake Maggiore about an hour away by train. In August there is more choice and rates are among the best value of the year: the right time to discover the city at an easy pace, as a couple or with the children.

And through the rest of the year, because demand is driven by work, anyone able to shift their stay to a weekend often finds better terms: the opposite of what happens in tourist cities.
