Apartment Da Vinci | 3-Bedroom Apartment in Metropolitan City of Milan

Seven guests, three bedrooms, and a terrace overlooking one of Milan’s most coveted neighbourhoods—Apartment Da Vinci sits in the heart of Porta Romana, where centuries-old architecture meets contemporary Italian elegance. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence offers the kind of urban sanctuary that transforms a city break from tourist experience into genuine local living. The apartment sleeps 7 guests across thoughtfully proportioned rooms, each designed for comfort rather than cramped efficiency.

Inside Apartment Da Vinci

Apartment Da Vinci sleeps 7 guests across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The living spaces unfold with surprising generosity for an urban Milan apartment. The main living room anchors the home with paired double sofas—one converts to a sofa bed, perfect for that seventh guest—arranged around a smart TV. Natural light floods through windows overlooking Porta Romana’s tree-lined streets. A full dining table seats the group comfortably, ideal for sharing meals and stories after exploring the city.

The kitchen occupies a substantial footprint with modern appliances and adequate counter space—not the show kitchen of a luxury villa, but the functional heart that encourages actual cooking. This is where you’ll prepare morning espresso, assemble picnic provisions, or attempt risotto. The kitchen opens directly onto the terrace, the obvious gathering point during warmer months.

Bedroom one features a double bed and receives morning light from Porta Romana’s avenue. Bedroom two, also with a double bed, offers a quieter aspect away from street noise. Bedroom three, the single room, suits a child or solo traveller preferring separation from larger groups. Both bathrooms are generously appointed—one houses a deep bathtub for evening soaks, the other offers a rainfall shower. This dual-bathroom arrangement eliminates the morning queues that plague smaller properties.

Throughout the apartment, heating and air-conditioning provide year-round comfort. Wi-Fi connects you to the outside world, though Milan’s attractions may prove more compelling than your inbox. A desk occupies a quiet corner, useful for those unable to fully disconnect.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The terrace functions as an extension of the apartment rather than a decorative afterthought. It captures the afternoon sun and provides genuine outdoor living—the place where you’ll take morning coffee before the city wakes, where evening drinks become spontaneous dinner-parties, where the hum of Milan becomes soundtrack rather than distraction. The terrace connects directly to the kitchen, making the flow between inside and outside seamless without requiring architectural gymnastics.

Location: Porta Romana and the Surrounding Area

Porta Romana sits in Milan’s Zone 4, a neighbourhood that manages the rare feat of being simultaneously historic and vibrant, residential and connected. The district takes its name from the Porta Romana Gate itself—a 16th-century entrance that once marked Milan’s city boundary, now standing as an architectural anchor 400 metres from the apartment. The gate frames perfectly on Instagram and serves as a genuine navigation point when exploring on foot.

The immediate surroundings reward walking. Tree-lined Corso di Porta Romana stretches southward from the gate, lined with independent boutiques, cafes, and the kind of restaurants that don’t require reservation weeks in advance. Eateries here range from casual trattorias serving Milan’s famous risotto alla milanese and ossobuco to contemporary spots where young chefs reimagine Italian classics. Marchesi (Michelin-starred) sits 1.2km away; for everyday eating, the local osterie offer better value and more authentic experience.

The Fondazione Prada, housed in a converted gin distillery, occupies 1.8km to the northwest. This contemporary art institution attracts serious collectors and casual visitors alike, with exhibitions rotating regularly. Entry typically costs €10-15 and appointments aren’t required, unlike some Milan museums.

Parco Ravizza provides green respite 800 metres northeast—a genuine park rather than manicured garden, where locals actually sit on grass rather than observing warning signs. The park spans 17 hectares with walking paths, flowering borders seasonally, and benches where you can genuinely rest rather than pose. It’s where Milan reveals itself as a living city rather than museum piece.

For shopping beyond the immediate neighbourhood, the Quadrilatero d’Oro (fashion district) lies 2.5km north, featuring flagship stores from brands that own Milan’s fashion identity. The Duomo di Milano—that impossible Gothic cathedral—sits 2.8km northwest, best visited early morning before crowds compress the piazza into human sardine conditions.

Milan’s public transport network means you needn’t hire a car. The M3 metro line runs 1.2km from Apartment Da Vinci’s location, connecting to central locations within 10-15 minutes. Trams thread through the neighbourhood more frequently, offering scenic routes if destination matters less than the journey.

The Navigli district—those famous canals with their evening aperitivo culture—lies 2.2km south. This is where Milan’s young professionals congregate at sunset, where bars serve spritz and snacks, where the water reflects city lights and everything feels momentarily perfect. It’s also where prices inflate and tourists congregate thickly, so arrive early or avoid peak hours.

For airport logistics: Malpensa Airport (Milan’s primary international hub) sits 48km northwest, requiring approximately 55 minutes by car via A4 motorway or 60 minutes by train to Milano Centrale. Linate Airport, closer at 12km east, handles European routes and requires just 20 minutes by car but costs notably more. Bergamo Orio al Serio, 45km northeast, serves budget airlines and requires 55 minutes overland.

Who This Apartment Suits Best
