My favourite Airbnb: an ultra-modern Milanese penthouse with panoramic views of the city

"Decorated with glossy contemporary statues that might be equally at home in a mid-century Palm Springs desert pad (think cacti and jungle cats) and stacked with coffee table books on Milan interiors, the décor adds a sense of place to an entirely renewed apartment. Its tech ensures a thoroughly comfortable stay: air conditioning (a must for summer travellers), electric blinds, bluetooth, a rooftop jacuzzi - and a U-shaped suede sofa facing a widescreen television that demands a group movie night."

"Then, there is the nero marquiña marble steam room. The all-black mini-spa is the perfect place to sweat it all out either post-morning jog or after a long day in the city. (After the former, I recommend the picturesque 25-minute walk to Pasticceria Sissi for a counter caffè and cream-filled brioche; after the latter, a ten-minute taxi to Bar Nico, a simultaneously lowkey and vibey neighbourhood hotspot boasting some of best natural wines in the city)."

A renewed penthouse blends glossy contemporary statues and Milan-focused coffee table books to create a distinct mid-century-inspired atmosphere. High-tech comforts include air conditioning, electric blinds, bluetooth, a rooftop jacuzzi and a U-shaped suede sofa facing a widescreen television. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas suit hosting and lively gatherings. The living room hides two single beds so the space sleeps six, while both bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms; the smaller bedroom contains the larger bathroom with a Carrara statuario tub offering skyline sunset views. The property includes a nero marquiña marble steam room and a double-decked rooftop with multiple balconies.
