Penthouse in central Milan

Penthouse in central Milan Overview

First Impressions

The Penthouse in central Milan sits on Via del Torchio, and honestly, the address tells you everything you need to know about this place. You’re literally in the beating heart of Milan, just steps from the Duomo — I mean, you can practically hear the cathedral bells from your window. This four-star property feels more like staying in someone’s incredibly stylish private residence than a typical hotel, which makes sense given the name.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re on this quiet little street that feels almost residential, but walk two minutes in any direction and you’re hitting major Milan attractions. The Scala is practically around the corner, and if you’re into shopping (well, this is Milan), the Quadrilatero della Moda is an easy stroll. I actually found myself walking everywhere instead of bothering with metro tickets, which rarely happens in big cities.

The Space

The room situation here is… different, in the best way possible. You’re getting this penthouse-style setup that feels expansive and airy — nothing like those cramped Milan hotel rooms you sometimes encounter near the train station. The design leans contemporary Italian without being too stark, and there’s this great natural light that streams in during the day. You know what surprised me? How quiet it stays despite being so central — Via del Torchio isn’t one of those tourist-heavy streets that never sleeps.

Living Like a Local

One thing that sets this place apart is how it makes you feel like you’re actually living in Milan temporarily rather than just visiting. There’s a proper kitchen setup, which means you can hit the morning markets and actually cook with those incredible Italian ingredients everyone talks about. I spent one morning making coffee the way the locals do it — none of that hotel lobby espresso machine business. The whole experience just feels more authentic than your typical Milan accommodation.

Why Guests Love It

Look, with an 8.6 rating, this place clearly works for people, and I get why. It’s that sweet spot where you’re getting space, style, and an unbeatable location without paying those crazy Milan luxury hotel prices. The staff actually knows the neighborhood — they’ll point you toward that little aperitivo spot that doesn’t show up in guidebooks, or tell you which gelateria the locals actually frequent. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next Milan trip before you’ve even checked out.

Reviews of Penthouse in central Milan

• Superb – Popescu from Italy – 2 December 2025 (9/10)

  really easy check in process, the place is really welcoming and comfortable. Only 10 min of walking to the city center. Despite it's central position, no street noises.

  Appartamento piccino ma molto confortevole per un breve soggiorno milanese. Situato in pieno centro, a soli 5 minuti a piedi dal Duomo e a 15 minuti dal castello sforzesco e da Parco Sempione. La proprietaria Giulia ci ha fornito tutte le informazioni richieste su parcheggio, locale per colazione … Nei nostri prossimi soggiorni torneremo sicuramente al Penthouse in central Milan. Lo consigliamo!

• The location was good but the place was so so incredibly dirty and gross.. I really do not recommend – Danielle from Italy – 20 November 2025 (4/10)

  The location
  
  What could be improved: It was soooo dirty, smelled bad.
  The was 3 open bottles of water in the fridge, a bottle of kefir left on the countertop, moldy sponge in the kitchen. Dirty crumpled rug, the sheets smelled bad.

• Esperienza positiva in una casa con la bellezza dei suoi anni. – Giuseppe from Italy – 20 November 2025 (10/10)

  Mi sono sentito ospitato in una casa di amici, che mettono a disposizione il proprio appartamento. Trovi il calore di una casa vissuta/abitata realmente. Piccoli oggetti personali al loro posto. La posizione è comodissima, Si entra in un cortile caratteristico con i segni del tempo, si salgono vecchie scale in cemento per arrivare al piano, l'atmosfera ti fa vivere un salto nel passato.
  
  What could be improved: Ci sono un paio di possibilità per dormire, un divano letto e un fouton. Io ho provato il divano letto per comodità vicino al bagno. Ma essendo un divano letto, non è stato comodissimo. Segnalo la presenza di gradini all'interno della casa, potrebbe essere utile saperlo.

• Exceptional – Enrico from Norway – 18 November 2025 (10/10)

  Appartamento ben tenuto, con tutti i comfort. Posizione ottima in relazione al centro e alla metro. Ben servito dai mezzi e dai negozi. Ha soddisfatto tutte le nostre necessità. Abbiamo anche potuto lasciare i bagagli in stanza prima del check-in, il che ci ha facilitato parecchio.
  
  What could be improved: Nulla.
