Il Cortiletto

Il Cortiletto is a holiday home in Milan, in the Central Station area, 800 meters from the metro and a short walk from Bosco Verticale and Porta Nuova. The property is located on the first floor of a building without an elevator and has no reception desk: check-in must be arranged in advance with the managers.

The accommodations are designed for those seeking the independence of an apartment: each unit has its own kitchen with hob, oven and coffee machine, plus a private bathroom with toiletries and hairdryer. Air conditioning is also available, useful during Milan’s summer months, along with a flat-screen TV and a balcony overlooking the city or the interior garden.

The location is one of the most appreciated strengths: couples rate it 9.0 and the overall score for the area rises to 9.4. Central Station is a few minutes’ walk away, as are restaurants, bars and the metro, making Il Cortiletto a practical base for getting around the city or reaching Linate Airport.

Room types

Il Cortiletto offers two types of double room, both designed as small independent apartments with a private kitchen, own bathroom and balcony. The Double Room with External Private Bathroom measures 16 sqm and accommodates up to three people in a large double bed, with a view over the city’s rooftops; the Comfort Double Room is slightly smaller, 15 sqm, but offers an extra-large double bed and overlooks the interior garden, plus a desk for those staying for work.

In both cases the kitchen is equipped with a hob, oven, utensils and coffee machine, while the private bathroom includes toiletries and a hairdryer. Air conditioning and a flat-screen TV complete the amenities, making each accommodation suitable for both short stays and longer independent stays.
