Carrobbio area and the columns of San Lorenzo
Among the best areas to sleep in Milan is certainly the Carrobbio district, near the columns of San Lorenzo.
Today these 16 marble pillars frame the churchyard of the Basilica of San Lorenzo, creating one of the most visited squares by Milanese and non-Milanese alike.
If during the day it is a place to love for its tranquility, as the sun goes down it becomes a popular meeting point to start the evening and then reach the many clubs in the surrounding area. The location of the San Lorenzo columns is in fact strategic: right halfway between the Navigli and Piazza del Duomo.
In the Barbarhouse catalog, among the apartments near the Carrobbio area you can find small and comfortable apartments such as the trilo basilica: a house with all the comforts with six beds in the Ticinese area.
Porta Venezia
To breathe the real Milanese atmosphere, the ideal neighborhood is Porta Venezia, certainly one of the most fascinating in the city: on one side Corso Venezia and Via Senato, dotted with stores and clubs, while on the other side history and culture with the Civic Museum of Natural History and the Gallery of Modern Art. Finally, a large park: the Indro Montanelli Public Gardens.
The neighborhood is suitable for everyone, from families to young people. The area is perfectly served by both trains, with the Central Station just a stone's throw away, and city transportation such as the subway.
Making Porta Venezia your own neighborhood for a few days, then, is a choice that combines convenience, comfort and love for the art. Also in this area you can find the accommodation you want among the houses signed BarbarHouse, such as bilo classica, a lovely vintage-style apartment with four beds.
Guastalla and Piazza Cinque Giornate area
Among Milan's most beautiful and frenetic neighborhoods is the Guastalla district, which takes its name from the Guastalla Gardens, a charming corner with a beautiful fish pond from the 1600s.
The area extends on either side of Corso di Porta Vittoria to Piazza Cinque Giornate. The neighborhood teems with life, especially because of the presence of important institutions such as the Palace of Justice, the Chamber of Labor, the Conservatory or the Faculty of Political Science and the Polyclinic.
Among the things to see if you're in Milan with your family, there's definitely the MUBA, a museum for children up to 12 years old. And again, the Sormani library, one of the largest in Milan, and the synagogue, the main Jewish place of worship in the city.
Here, too, you can find comfortable and design accommodation among the proposals in the BarbarHouse catalog, such as the trilo preziosa, a prestigious apartment in Piazza Cinque Giornate that sleeps 8. The ideal place for stays under the banner of beauty and comfort.
Isola district
Quartiere Isola, is known for its international spirit with the modern Piazza Gae Aulenti, the UniCredit building (the tallest skyscraper in Italy) and the Bosco Verticale, a skyscraper entirely covered by vegetation. The area lives suspended between eras, between the modernization of its business centers and the roots of old Milan.
In fact, the neighborhood is full of restaurants, American bars and old warehouses that have been redeveloped. What was once called the Casbà de Milan is now an area that engulfs current trends and fashions.
BarbarHouse here, too, offers you a range of accommodations that are comfortable and close to points of interest. One example is the trilo divina, a spacious apartment with a minimal design.
Piazzale Cadorna
This is one of the busiest squares in Milan and is an ideal boundary of one of the city's most central and charming neighborhoods. The Piazzale houses the historic Ferrovie Nord Milano stationbuilding.
It is from here that several urban and suburban lines branch off, including the Malpensa Express. So, the area is among the most convenient for reaching most of the city's strategic points.
If you like the idea of being able to reach any place with a snap of your fingers, choose the area around Piazzale Cadorna as the place of your stay. In particular, in the BarbarHouse catalog you will find a rich offer of apartments such as bilo Cometa, simple and functional accommodation convenient to reach the historic center and the station and not to miss the best of Milan.
Sempione Park
Also bordering the historic center is the Sempione district. The entire neighborhood takes its name from the park of the same name, in which stands the great Arch of Peace and the Sforza Castle.
Given its proximity to the large green area and the historic center, it is an ideal area especially for families, equipped with all services.
From here it is possible to reach the center with a walk through the park, as well as being close to the main subway lines and Cadorna station.
The charm of the neighborhood combined with the convenience of being in the heart of Milan are valuable features. So housing in the area must also meet these standards. Trilo historia, right next to the park, is an apartment full of amenities and close to the lines of several public transportation.
Brera district
Brera has a romantic and bohemian indole. It is the district of art and artists. Charming and romantic, with its cobblestone streets.
It is a very quiet area of Milan, far removed from the chaos of the metropolis. The magic of its narrow streets, elegant palaces and unseen views help give it an atmosphere of yesteryear.
Brera is nestled between the Duomo, Castello Sforzesco and the fashion quadrilateral. Strolling through the neighborhood you'll discover small establishments, original stores, and surprising green corners.
An alternative stay, then, under the banner of creativity and contemporary history, can certainly start from Brera.

Experiencing a stay in Milan as if it were your own city, being won over by the teeming nightlife and discovering unusual and little-told glimpses, enriches lanimo and gives you a different view of the big city.
