Solari Apartment

Solari Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Solari Apartment on Via Valparaiso, you’ll notice it’s tucked away on the piano rialzato — that’s the raised ground floor for those not familiar with Italian building layouts. The entrance is actually quite charming, and honestly, the whole setup feels more like you’re staying at a friend’s place than checking into a typical hotel. This four-star property sits right in the heart of the Navigli district, which I can tell you is absolutely where you want to be in Milan.

The Navigli Experience

You know what’s brilliant about this location? You’re literally steps away from the canal-side buzz that makes Navigli so special. I mean, couples are rating this spot 9.0 for good reason — there’s something magical about wandering along the waterways in the evening, then ducking into one of the countless aperitivo spots. The apartment style means you get that local living experience, but with all the services you’d expect. During the day, you can explore the vintage shops and galleries, and by night, well, let’s just say the nightlife here is something else entirely.

Living Like a Local

What I really appreciate about Solari Apartment is how it strikes this perfect balance between independence and comfort. The room setup gives you space to breathe — you’re not cramped into a tiny hotel box. There’s actually a proper sense of home here, which is rare to find in Milan’s city center. The building itself has character (you know how Italian architecture can be), and being on the raised ground floor means you get decent light without the street noise that can plague ground-level places in busy areas like this.

Neighborhood Perks

Here’s something most visitors don’t realize until they’re here — Navigli isn’t just about the famous canals and nightlife. You’ve got fantastic local markets within walking distance, and the Porta Genova train station is close enough that getting around Milan becomes incredibly easy. I’ve found that staying in this area gives you the best of both worlds: you can walk to Brera or the Duomo when you want that tourist experience, but you also get to live in what feels like the most authentically Milanese neighborhood. The location score of 9.3 honestly doesn’t surprise me at all.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back to this place is that apartment-style freedom combined with the energy of being in Milan’s most vibrant district. You’re not just visiting Milan — you’re actually living in it for a few days. The fact that couples particularly love it speaks to how romantic this area becomes in the evenings, with all those canal-side walks and intimate wine bars. Plus, let’s be honest, having your own space means you can grab fresh ingredients from the local markets and prepare a simple meal if you want a break from restaurant hopping. It’s that flexibility that makes Solari Apartment feel less like accommodation and more like your Milan home base.

Apartments in Milan suit families with balcony windows, full kitchens, and sunset strolls through Sempione Park gardens.

Reviews of Solari Apartment

• Exceptional – Alesia from Poland – 11 November 2025 (10/10)

  We stayed in these apartments for three days and absolutely loved everything! The place is very clean, cozy, and well-equipped — there is everything you might need, from all the kitchenware to modern, fully working appliances. Everything is neat and thoughtfully arranged, which makes you feel comfortable from the first moment.
  
  The hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They were always in touch, responded very quickly, and helped with every question we had — even gave great local recommendations and were always willing to assist.
  
  The location is perfect: a new, modern residential complex with shops, metro stations, and public transport nearby. It’s very easy to reach the city center, which makes it convenient for exploring Milan.
  
  Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely choose these apartments again. Highly recommended! 🌿

• Fantastic – Sam from United Kingdom – 24 April 2025 (8/10)

  We had a great stay at Konran’s property. The property was spacious enough for our large group and was perfectly located being close to lots of restaurants and shops. A taxi to the city centre was around 10/15 minutes.
  
  Konran was very responsive and accommodating throughout our stay. We would definitely stay again if we are visiting Liverpool
  
  What could be improved: Fantastic location, great for a weekend in Liverpool, can’t complain.

• Great stay! – Leo from United Kingdom – 6 April 2025 (10/10)

  Lovely stay – great transport connections and lots of excellent restaurants nearby. Very clean and well equipped

• Exceptional – Barbora from Czech Republic – 16 August 2024 (10/10)

  The communication with the host was perfect, they gave us many tips for places to visit in Milano. The furniture was very modern and the apartment was clean. It was also close to the underground station

• Basic nice stay – Ankita from Germany – 4 August 2024 (8/10)

  The apartment was basic and had all basic stuff that could be needed. The hosts were very responsive and gave detailed directions for check in. Enough towels were provided and the apartment was clean
  
  What could be improved: Since it was an apartment, would have appreciated the presence of some tea bags, although coffee was present. A handsoap was also needed. The shower head could not be fixed at a definite height. It was always coming down and needs fixing. The host should have mentioned that construction was underway as it was very noisy.

• Thanks for a wonderful stay! – Courtney from United States – 2 August 2024 (9/10)

  It was great for my small family, with an excellent location near metro and tram stops as well as a nice park. I really appreciated the responsiveness of the owners. I highly recommend!
  
  What could be improved: There was a lot of construction taking place in and outside of the building, but it was OK since we spent most of our time outside the apartment. Had trouble getting keys out of the lockbox, but the owners were very helpful and understanding in addressing the issue.

• Worth the money, good location, hopefully natural light soon. – Linnea from Sweden – 15 July 2024 (8/10)

  Great AC and location. Newly renovated and had everything you needed. Would book again.
  
  What could be improved: We didn’t know there would be construction outside and that the windows would be entirely covered. No natural light, at least for our stay. Might be better next time. Some dirty marks on the walls.

• Nice and quiet area – Gabriela from United Kingdom – 26 March 2024 (9/10)

  Great communication with the hosts! The place is close to Metro, Carrefour Express, fresh fruit/veg market (Saturdays) and some nice restaurants which are much cheaper compared to touristy areas of Milan. Apartment was clean and easy to find.
  
  What could be improved: The place could use a kettle/coffee machine/iron but other than that everything was nice 🙂

• Would definitely stay again if I returned to Milan – Carley from United Kingdom – 12 February 2024 (10/10)

  Clean, good communication from the hosts. close to metro.

• Exceptional – Bojan from Serbia – 15 November 2023 (10/10)
