Hello, Traveller! :)
I can’t recommend enough what I call “Victoria’s Retreat.” When staying in Milano, this is a fantastic choice.
I stayed with Victoria for two days after a business trip to Torino, working and recovering. Victoria’s rooms are fantastically decorated (all of them, they were her childrens’ rooms) with so much attention to detail that it makes you feel like a princess. The bathroom is spa-like. Absolutely delighful and spotless. It has a rain shower on top of the normal one.
My room had a little private balcony with a small table and chairs. Great for breakfast with a view, but it was raining during my stay. Instead, Victoria suggested breakfast in bed, which was a wonderful idea. Looking through the window from the comfort and warmth of my bed was the best.
Excellent location. Victoria’s place is very easy to reach just a few blocks away from Milan Central Station. From V’s Retreat, you can then have lovely walks in the neighbourhood, explore more of Milan if you wish, go on day trips since the station is so near, and walk to many nearby restaurants and cafes. Victoria has a special list of her favourite places available in the room complete with a guide and map for your convenience. Super thoughtful and useful.
Victoria is quick to respond and will receive you like someone who receives a friend. She is very friendly and nice to talk to. Victoria has a small super adorable Chihuahua and you can pet this little furry creature for as long as you want. :)
All in all, I had a great experience and I am sure you will have the same.
