Italianway – Favretto 13

Italianway – Favretto 13 Overview

First Impressions

Italianway – Favretto 13 sits quietly on a residential street in the Fiera Milano area, and honestly, that’s exactly what I loved about it. You’re not dealing with tourist crowds here — it’s more like staying in a proper Milanese neighborhood where locals actually live. The building itself has that understated Italian elegance, nothing flashy, just well-maintained and purposeful.

Location & Getting Around

The City Life district is sort of Milan’s answer to a modern business hub, but it works brilliantly for visitors too. You’ve got those striking Porta Nuova skyscrapers within walking distance, and the metro connections are actually pretty solid. I mean, you’re not right in the Duomo area, but that can be a blessing — you get authentic Milan without the constant buzz of tour groups. The apartment style setup means you feel more like a temporary resident than a hotel guest.

The Space

What struck me most was how thoughtfully designed everything felt for a four-star property. The room had this clean, modern Italian aesthetic — not trying too hard, just comfortable and functional. The kitchen setup is genuinely useful if you want to grab groceries from the local markets (and trust me, the neighborhood has some great options). You know what I appreciated? Proper storage space and a work area that didn’t feel like an afterthought.

Neighborhood Life

Here’s where staying at Italianway really pays off — you get to experience Milan like locals do. There’s a lovely morning routine that develops: grabbing espresso from the corner bar, watching the business crowd head to the Porta Garibaldi area, maybe stopping by one of the small grocers. The restaurant scene around here isn’t touristy at all, which means better food and honest prices. I found this excellent trattoria just two blocks away that I never would’ve discovered staying in the center.

Why Guests Love It

Look, if you want marble lobbies and concierge service, this isn’t your place. But if you want to actually live in Milan for a few days — cooking simple meals, taking the metro like everyone else, discovering neighborhoods that most visitors miss — then Italianway gets it right. The 8.3 rating makes sense because it delivers on what it promises: a well-located, well-equipped base for exploring the city. Plus, there’s something refreshing about parking that doesn’t cost a fortune (a real consideration if you’re driving in Milan), and the value compared to traditional hotels in prime areas is honestly pretty compelling.

Best hotels in Milan blend rooftop terraces, contemporary Italian style, and traditional Milanese breakfast spreads.

Reviews of Italianway – Favretto 13

• Superb – Ioanna from Italy – 2 September 2025 (9/10)

  La pulizia è la disposizione delle camere,la disponibilità del personale.
  
  What could be improved: Nulla

• Отличное жилье как на пару дней, так и на подольше. – Diana from Russia – 4 June 2025 (9/10)

  Есть все для приготовления завтрака. Смогли воспользоваться посудой для приготовления, она была в хорошем состоянии. Относительно чистая стиралка – без плесени (это важно в съемных апартаментах). Жаль ограничено количество стирки (было только 2 капсулы для стирки). Прекрасное расположение, близко к метро. И район семейный, безопасный. Рядом есть маленький парк.
  
  What could be improved: В комнате без собственной ванной комнаты старый, промятый матрас. А в отдельной ванной (которая со стиральной машиной нет полочки в душевой, некуда поставить шампунь или гель для душа) и до сих пор сиденье унитаза сломано.

• It was great, I would recommend it – Tudorita from Moldova – 26 February 2025 (9/10)

  The lication was great, near to the metro station and bus station
  
  What could be improved: The boilers were a bit small

• Very good – Claudia from Italy – 26 January 2025 (8/10)

  Camere grandi e armadi capienti, strada tranquilla e sileziosa
  
  What could be improved: I bagni non sono moderni come il resto Della casa

• Немного внимания к мелочам и проживание прошло бы лучше – Evgenia from Italy – 22 January 2025 (7/10)

  Было чисто. Хорошее расположение. 2 подушки, разные по жесткости, что позволяет выбрать наиболее комфортную для себя.
  
  What could be improved: Запах канализации из маленького туалета. На кухне не было соли и сахара. Была кофемашина, но не было ни одной капсулы. Приезжая на 2 ночи ты вынужден покупать упаковку кофе, соли и сахара.

• Never forget your flip flops at home! – Shimon from Israel – 16 November 2024 (5/10)

  The location
  
  What could be improved: Disappointing Stay: Poor Hygiene and Disregard for Guest Concerns
  
  My recent stay was incredibly disappointing. The apartment was far from clean. A strong smoking odor permeated the entire space. The brown shower was not only clogged but also filthy, with long hair, stains, and an old soap bottle left on the floor.
  When I contacted Italianway about these issues, they promised to unclog the shower and clean it. However, the next morning, they only unclogged it, leaving the shower still dirty and the soap bottle untouched. Despite my follow-up message, my concerns were completely ignored!
  It's disheartening to experience such neglect, especially when basic cleanliness and guest satisfaction should be priorities.

• Very good – Melanie from Switzerland – 17 July 2024 (8/10)

  It was really big for the price
  
  What could be improved: Not the apartment itself but the Check-In was badly organised.

• Very good – Francesco from Italy – 22 May 2024 (8/10)

  Appartamento spazioso, accogliente e pulito
  
  What could be improved: L' ufficio per il ritiro delle chiavi è in una posizione scomoda

• Goed – Quint from Netherlands – 12 April 2024 (8/10)

  Ruimte
  
  What could be improved: Niks

• Very pleasant – Clare from United Kingdom – 4 November 2023 (8/10)

  Everything we expected from the photos. Very Clean and comfortable and location good for 90 and 91 bus
  
  What could be improved: The electrics tripped when the washing machine was on at the same time as the kettle! Main fuse box in the entrance and needed key to open it which is on the bunch
