We were sold on this Milan bolthole's shared rooftop terrace alone. And that was before we’d even seen its location. Set in the vibrant heart of Porta Venezia, you’ve got buzzy cafes, bars and handy shops by the dozen in the streets below, and Indro Montanelli Public Gardens are just across the road. Here for the sights? The city’s iconic cathedral is just an eight-minute tram ride away – or an easy 25-minute stroll. Back home, the retro-feel interiors give a welcoming feel to the place, although it’s worth noting that at full occupancy, the last two guests will be sharing a sofa-bed in the living room. But for a home this characterful, we can let that slide. *Pets are welcome to join you at this home – just request in advance with your host. *A cot can be provided for little ones. *It’s worth noting that at full occupancy, the last two guests will share a sofa bed in the living area. *The apartment is set on the fourth fl...

Found to the west of Milan on the edge of Chinatown, this second floor apartment is a homely and practical option for exploring Italy's fashion capital. Ideal for a couple or solo traveller – although there's also a single sofa bed for a willing third party – you'll find all the necessary amenities across its two distinct living spaces, plus a fully equipped bathroom. The layout of furnishings may be a bit unusual, but as a place to bed down during your stay, you'll be well looked after – and with landmarks like the Cimitero Monumentale and Arco della Pace both fifteen minute walks away, you won't be far from Milan's unique culture and history. *At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. *Apart from one sofa bed, this home does not have any soft seating in its living area.

Sleek and simple, this apartment is perfect for a fuss-free stay. The living space is bright and designed for socialising. There's a well-appointed kitchen, a table that doubles as a desk, and a cosy lounge area where you can kick back. It's not in the centre, so we wouldn't suggest it for those keen on sightseeing. But, if you'd prefer a more local experience in Milan, you'll find an array of restaurants and bars in the neighbourhood. It's also nestled between two subway stations (Piola and Lambrate), making it easy to get around when the mood strikes. *As this home isn't in the historic centre, it may not suit those who plan to sightsee.

Set on a quiet side street, just a few moments’ walk from Parco Sempione (Milan’s most famous green space), this cosy apartment makes a great base for a city break. It’s certainly on the smaller side, with one room for lounging, cooking, and sleeping, however we think the location more than makes up for any lack of floorspace. A few thoughtful features make this petite place more liveable, like a pull-out screen to make the bedroom more private (handy if someone is also sleeping on the sofa bed) and a compact kitchen that forgoes an oven in favour of a space-saving hob and microwave. But with so much to see, do, and eat within easy walking distance, you’ll probably spend most of your time out and about exploring. *At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. *The bedroom is open to the living area, however there's a pull-out privacy screen to section the bedroom off. *You won't find an ove...

Yes, foreigners can rent longer stay rentals in Milan. Renting accommodation in Milan as a foreigner is a common practice, and there are generally no legal restrictions preventing foreigners from renting apartments or other types of housing for extended periods.
When renting a longer stay rental in Milan as a foreigner, you will typically be required to provide certain documents and meet specific requirements, similar to what is expected of local residents. These requirements may include:
Identification: You will need to provide a valid form of identification, such as a passport or national identity card.
Proof of Income: Landlords often require proof of income to ensure that you can afford the rent. This may include pay stubs, employment contracts, or bank statements. Alternatively, if you're a student or unemployed, you might need a guarantor who can provide proof of income.
References: Some landlords may request references from previous landlords or employers to vouch for your reliability as a tenant. If you don't have Italian-based references, international references may suffice.
Security Deposit: You will likely be asked to pay a security deposit, typically equivalent to one or two months' rent, which is refundable at the end of the tenancy if the property is in good condition.
Rental Contract: You will need to sign a rental contract (contratto di locazione) outlining the terms and conditions of the rental agreement. It's essential to review the contract carefully before signing and to ensure that you understand your rights and obligations as a tenant.
Residence Status: While being a foreigner doesn't necessarily prevent you from renting in Milan, you might need to demonstrate your legal right to reside in Italy. This could include having a valid visa, residence permit, or other relevant documentation.
It's also worth noting that some landlords or rental agencies may have specific requirements or preferences, so it's essential to inquire about the rental process and any necessary documentation when searching for accommodation in Milan as a foreigner. Working with a reputable real estate agency or rental platform can help facilitate the rental process and ensure that you find suitable accommodation.
