The Tower House – Central Apartment

The Tower House – Central Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to The Tower House – Central Apartment on Corso di Porta Nuova, you immediately get that “I’m in the heart of something special” feeling. This four-star property sits right in Milan‘s buzzing center, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The building has that classic Milanese elegance — not flashy, but you can tell it’s been thoughtfully maintained. I mean, when you’re this close to everything that matters in the city, the property doesn’t need to shout about it.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re literally minutes from the Duomo, but you’re not dealing with the tourist chaos right outside your door. Corso di Porta Nuova is one of those streets where locals actually live and work, so you get authentic Milan energy without feeling like you’re staying in a theme park. The metro connections are fantastic (Moscova station is super close), and there’s this great mix of traditional trattorias and modern cafes within walking distance. You know what’s really nice? You can grab your morning espresso from the same bar the locals use.

The Space Itself

The apartment setup here is what sets this place apart from typical hotel rooms. You get proper living space — not just a bed crammed next to a tiny desk. The kitchen is actually functional, which is rare in city center accommodations, and perfect if you want to grab fresh ingredients from the nearby markets. Each room feels thoughtfully designed rather than just efficiently packed. The windows are generous, and the natural light really makes the space feel bigger than it is. Storage is adequate too, which matters when you’re staying more than just a night or two.

Why Couples Keep Coming Back

I can see why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something romantic about having your own little Milan hideaway rather than just another hotel room. The space gives you room to breathe and actually spend time together without feeling cramped. Plus, being able to make coffee in your own kitchen in the morning instead of rushing down to a crowded breakfast room? That’s the kind of small touch that makes a trip feel more relaxed. The neighborhood walks are lovely too, especially in the evening when the locals are out for their aperitivo.

Why Guests Love It

The 7.8 rating makes sense once you experience the balance this place strikes. You’re getting prime Milan real estate without paying premium hotel prices, and the apartment-style setup means you can actually live a bit like a local during your stay. Recent guests consistently mention the location in their reviews, and after staying here, I get it — you can walk to major attractions, but you’re also positioned perfectly to discover those hidden Milan gems that most tourists miss. The staff keeps things running smoothly without being overly formal, and there’s decent parking nearby if you’re driving (though honestly, you won’t need a car from this location).

Reviews of The Tower House – Central Apartment

• Aceptable. – Irene from Spain – 3 December 2025 (6/10)

  La cama a pesar de ser sofá cama, era cómoda.
  La ubicación estaba bien, a 20 min aprox de la zona centro.
  Nos proporcionó secador de pelo.
  
  What could be improved: El baño en general. La ducha era pequeña y el lavabo se atascaba, se veía que estaba sucio por las tuberías.
  La vajilla estaba sucia y se notaba uso prolongado.
  La casa estaba prácticamente vacía, solo un rollo de papel higiénico y nada más, ni sal ni aceite ni elementos básicos.

• A good option to live while exploring Milano and especially its neighborhood – Valerii from Russia – 23 November 2025 (8/10)

  The location is excellent: it takes 15 minutes to walk there from Milano central train station. We were exploring Milano neighborhood this stay, and the location was the best option.
  The apartment is clean and warm. The linen is new.
  There is washing machine.
  There is everything you need to cook at the kitchenette, although cooking utensils are old.
  The ceiling is high and gives enough air to sleep well.
  
  What could be improved: Cooking utensils are too old, knife is dull, no salt or sugar. Kitchen hood is not connected to a duct and makes air go back into the room.
  The bed mattress is too soft for me, I sleep bad on such a soft bed. And yes, the bed is high, but it was not a problem.
  The wi-fi router goes down by itself if you don't use it for some time, although power led is on. You need to restart it using hard button.
  Please add more hangers for clothes.
  Some mosquitos attacked us in November.
  The shower cabin is a little bit narrow, especially for a big man.
  All above is not a big trouble, but makes some space to improve ))

• Poor – Iria from Spain – 16 November 2025 (3/10)

  What could be improved: La limpieza dejaba mucho que desear y la cama era un sofá… para el precio que piden deberían ofrecer mejor servicio

• Good – Mangaladasan from India – 11 November 2025 (7/10)

  I like the location. Accessible to important places. The facilities in the apartment were good. It is safe and secure. Carryfour Express is downstairs which really help us to get necessary stuff. The host is very helpful to answer our queries over Whatsapp
  
  What could be improved: The Bed in the Apartment was very height has lot of attachments, difficult to climb and sleep for the Seniors like us. There is no control to reduce the heating inside room, so most of the night we were sweating, even though the outside temperature is cold enough.

• Exceptional – Holger from Germany – 6 November 2025 (10/10)

  zentral gelegen an der Porta Nuova, Zentrum gut zu Fuß erreichbar, ca. 20 min zum Domplatz, sehr gute Kommunikation per WhatsApp, man erhält ein sehr anschauliche Handyvideo bzgl. Check-In, im Apartment ist alles vollständig da, die Einrichtung ist schon etwas abgewohnt, dafür Preis aber total o.k. für Mailand

• Superb – Jose from Portugal – 21 October 2025 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Nada demais a apontar.
