PrimoPiano – Orombelli

PrimoPiano – Orombelli Overview

First Impressions

PrimoPiano – Orombelli sits quietly on a private street in Milan‘s Isola district, and honestly, you might walk right past it if you weren’t looking. The entrance feels more like stepping into someone’s elegant home than a hotel — which, I guess, is sort of the point. This four-star boutique property has that understated Italian sophistication thing down perfectly, without any of the fussiness you sometimes get at smaller places.

Location & Neighborhood

Via Privata degli Orombelli is tucked away from the main tourist chaos, but you’re actually really well connected here. The Isola neighborhood has this cool, artsy vibe — lots of young professionals, interesting restaurants, and those narrow streets that make you feel like you’re discovering secret parts of the city. You can walk to Porta Garibaldi station in about ten minutes, which means you’re basically connected to everywhere. Plus, the Bosco Verticale towers are right there if you want that Instagram shot everyone’s posting.

The Room Experience

My room had this perfect balance of modern comfort and Italian warmth — think clean lines but with character, not sterile. The beds are seriously comfortable (I’m picky about this), and there’s enough space to actually unpack without everything feeling cramped. What I really appreciated was the attention to lighting — you know how some hotels either blind you or leave you squinting? Not here. The bathrooms are compact but well-designed, with good water pressure and decent toiletries.

Daily Rhythms

Breakfast happens in this bright common area that feels like a sophisticated living room. It’s not a massive buffet situation — more like carefully chosen items that actually taste good. The coffee is properly Italian, obviously, and there’s usually fresh pastries and decent fruit. The staff here really knows their stuff about the neighborhood too. I mean, they’re not just reciting tourist attractions — they’ll tell you which aperitivo spot has the best crowd on Tuesday nights or where to find actual good gelato.

Why Guests Love It

This place works because it gets the balance right between being professional and feeling personal. You’re staying somewhere that locals would actually choose, not just tourists. The 7.9 rating makes sense — it’s genuinely good without trying too hard. There’s no pool or fancy spa, but there’s also no pretension. You get reliable comfort, a great location that feels authentically Milanese, and staff who treat you like you belong there. For exploring Milan without feeling like you’re in a tourist bubble, PrimoPiano – Orombelli delivers exactly what you want.

Reviews of PrimoPiano – Orombelli

• Superb – Madina from Azerbaijan – 3 May 2025 (9/10)

  Location was good, easy to get city center. Apartment was enough good to stay and had everything you need.

• If apartment was heated it was perfect. – Elena from Romania – 18 November 2024 (7/10)

  The apartment was very clean, excellent location
  
  What could be improved: A major heat problem. It was 0 degrees outside and the radiators didn’t work at all. In addition, there is air conditioning with which we could have heated ourselves, but the remote control was hidden. After 2 days spend here, I left sick.
  Also, there was a slight unpleasant smell in the apartment.

• Superb – Maslizanizam from Malaysia – 12 July 2024 (9/10)

  good job and keep your hospitality

• Beautiful appt in well connected area. Friendly host. – Dorian from Armenia – 6 July 2024 (7/10)

  Location well connected, and appt beautiful and silent!
  
  What could be improved: There was no host because the appt is rented via a third player: The company "primo piano". Initially I was disappointed because I prefer to talk to a human, but then I have to admit that they did well and were friendly and responsive with the chat (booking) and during working hours on the phone. They also sent somebody to fix a small issue.
  Things to be improved:
  1. the Air conditioning is not sufficient for the sleeping room, therefore it was ways too hot!!
  2. If you want to hang your wet clothes after washing, there is just a very very small hanger !
  3. The board over the sink does not remain in its open position, so if you want to put the dishes in that board the only way to do that is to keep it open with your head in order to keep your hands free!!
  May be you want to fix these issues.

• Overall it is a good apartment and well located but there are some upgrade to do. – Maëva from France – 28 June 2024 (7/10)

  Well located, lot of space
  
  What could be improved: Really noisy from outside (from early in the morning until late at night)
  The bed was not really comfortable
  The shower was either burning hot or iced cold
  We couldn’t turn the AC off and got sick

• Great value appartment close to public transportation and great host – Lady from Spain – 21 January 2024 (9/10)

  The location was one street away from the metro so it was great not to have to move farther to get transportation. We got all the instructions before our arrival and just by following the step-by-step, we got inside without any trouble. Neighbours were quiet and we had restaurants close by as well. All in all, it was a good experience and spacious apartment.
  
  What could be improved: My only complaint was that at some point in the evening, perhaps when we had not used the toilet for a long time, the small corridor connecting the living room and the bedroom got some bad smell we never managed to discover were that smell was coming from.

• perfect stay for the price paid – Skye from United Kingdom – 25 October 2023 (8/10)

  great size property and in a great location
  
  What could be improved: some things like the blinds didn’t work properly, and the shower got cold within a couple minutes

• Very good – Jennyfer from Lebanon – 1 July 2023 (8/10)

  The place was very spacious and well equipped with everything you need.
  The location was great, the metro station is one minute away by foot. There was a supermarket, a laundraumat, and a sim card shop just around the corner.
  
  What could be improved: The mattress was not comfortable. Definitely needs to be changed. And the shutters in the bedroom didn't work, which made it harder to sleep past 6 am.

• Good – Melkonyan from France – 30 May 2023 (7/10)

  everything was clean and beautiful, compact.
  
  What could be improved: check with host about wi fi before your arrival, it wasn’t working for 3 nights while I was there. Its a big problem for me.

• Really enjoyable, great staff, awesome location, floors can be cleaned more – Drumea from Romania – 5 May 2023 (7/10)

  All the facilites, the location of the appartment, and the staff, we did not recieve the email with access codes to the apartament, but the staff were quick, professional and very helpful, sending us really Fast.
  
  What could be improved: I didn’t like that the floors were not cleaned. when we arrived we couldn’t stay without socks or shoes because the floor was full of dust and also we could not close the shutters in the bedroom
