Igor place in Isola is a perfect neighbourhood. The people that are around Isola are a good mixture, office workers families Italians out from work, on Friday and Saturday nights so more atmosphere in the bars and restaurants. If you place yourself at Igor’s you will be in a safe and great neighbourhood. You literally have everything you need. In the neighbourhood of Isola a couple of minutes if that there is an Italian pasta restaurant called Musquita which actually make the pasta whilst you watch. I have a lighter appetite at lunch so me and my fiancé shared this. And the waitress didn’t mind at all. The aperol was £4 euros and pasta dishes between 8-11 euros. There is a wonderful pizza place across from musquita’s and the pizzas was delicious! Again I’m sorry I can’t Re all the place by name but the pasta waitresses know of it as they eat there, it’s on the corner to the right of you happen to sit outside musquita We was recommended this pizza place by the pasta restaurant by musquita I feel I haven’t spelt the ( musquita correctly but because it’s minutes away like easily two min away you should recognise this place even with my poor spelling! So getting on the train from malpelensa airport was a piece of cake. The exit you want to take is garabaldi and then Igor’s place is about a 5 minute walk 8 min if you take a different route as I found a few routes. The difficulty began on leaving to return to Uk when we put the key 🔑 to leave in the recommended locked place we couldn’t get out of the door to leave to catch our return train. It was an oversight by me as if I had thought it through I would have opened the door and stayed with it open whilst my fiancé took key to the lockable place. We then was late for first train but there every 30 min to airport even on a Sunday morning so no sweat we got there in plenty of time. The issue we had was we didn’t research the platform with Igor and literally no one speaks English! And so we both came to realise we needed to do a trial run, as we had plenty of time during the holiday to take 5 minutes out of our time to find the platform in advance that way your not stressing . There is a lovely park in Isola with reclined wooded seats where we sunbathed super chilled and quiet. One bed will be good for a couple. We walked it into Milan but wow in 34 degrees heat! Was a massive triumph. But walk we did both there and back. Milan itself is super friendly. And we was brought a drink from a nice couple from Naples who now live in Milan. You have really two touristic attractions the Duomo and the Basilica. Both worth the walk. The indoor shopping plaza at the side of duomo was an eye opener amazing construction and all of the designer brands Gucci Prada etc all of them more or less. Drinks and food in Isola is more than affordable. Whilst in Milan it’s more expensive which you would expect. One thing I thought was amazing is that people we spoke to was in Milan, to then go on to lake Garda lake como and other Italian cities like Rome Venice Florence. All around an hour ish on train from malpellensa airport . So if you go to Milan I maybe would make it a place to have a night and a day then go off to somewhere like lake Garda. As there isn’t so much to see in Milan once you’ve done the two main tourist sites . Though we loved Isola even though there wasn’t any sites it was a great place to relax and have some down time from the city. Igors’s place is perfect and would give it 10 out of 10 for value hospitality and cleanliness and the facilities he’s thought of everything! My thoughts are if you aren’t fit and well Igor’s place is on the 8 th floor so a few steps to climb but again we didn’t mind as the view from balcony was great and Igor’s place has air conditioning so if you got up the stairs and was hot you can walk into your room and cool down super quick. If your staying in Isola deffo if your a single person travelling or a couple deffo book with Igor! Oh nearly forgot the market is outside our door 🚪 literally on a Saturday morning and it is truly wonderful! Another good reason to stay in Isola at Igors
