Villamelchiorre 1 is a guest house located in the Bicocca-Zara area of Milan, about 800 metres from Milano Centrale station and 400 metres from the Sondrio metro stop, on the line that reaches the Isola district in just a few minutes.
The property offers a wide range of accommodation options, designed especially for those travelling on a tight budget: from double rooms with private or shared bathroom, to singles, up to beds in mixed, female or male dormitories. The rooms feature modern furnishings, some with a view of the street or the inner garden, and free WiFi is available in all accommodations.
The location is convenient for those arriving by train or moving around by public transport, being just a few minutes’ walk from neighbourhood shops, bars and restaurants. Villamelchiorre 1 is a practical choice for tourists and business travellers looking for essential accommodation in a well-connected area of the Lombard capital, without giving up proximity to the city’s main rail and metro hubs.
Villamelchiorre 1’s accommodation options vary widely in terms of privacy and budget: from the Double Room with Private Bathroom, the only one with exclusive facilities, to double and single rooms with a shared bathroom on the same floor, up to beds in mixed, female and male dormitories designed for those travelling alone or wanting to save. The spaces range from 9 to 25 square metres and in several cases offer a view of the street or the garden, with marble or tiled floors and modern-style furnishings.
All rooms have free WiFi and, where indicated, the option to request the preferred bed type at the time of booking. Those looking for maximum privacy will find the option with a private bathroom the most suitable, while the other room types remain ideal for short, informal stays, perhaps in the company of others in a shared dormitory.
With its 22 sq m, this is one of the largest rooms in the property, designed for groups or families thanks to the option to choose between two bed configurations. Modern furnishings and, in some cases, a view of the street or the garden; the bathroom is shared and located on the same floor.
The most compact of the single rooms, at just 9 sq m, stands out for its private balcony with a street view and Portuguese or Pakistani marble flooring. Ideal for solo travellers looking for an essential space with a touch of character.
A bed inside a dormitory shared by five people, with tiled or marble flooring. It’s the largest of the dormitory options, suited to those travelling on a limited budget who don’t mind sharing the space with other mixed-gender guests.
A room for two with a French double bed, wardrobe and TV, while the bathroom is shared. Compared to the version with a private bathroom, it offers the same floor area but is generally more affordable.
The only room type in the property with an exclusive bathroom, in addition to the French double bed and wardrobe. Same floor area as the version with a shared bathroom, but designed for those who want greater privacy during their stay.
