Have you ever wanted to experience the Italian dolce vita in Milan?

We are ready and waiting to welcome you to aparto Milan Giovenale for your summer stay!

La dolce vita (lit: The sweet life) stands for: fun, indulgence, feeling good in your surroundings, enjoying life, food and company. In other words: getting the most out of your life.

Milan in the summer is one of the best destinations to experience la dolce vita, as the city slows down to welcome warm weather and outdoor activities. In fact, Milan is one of the most important cities in the world, seeped in art, design, entertainment, fashion, architecture, finance and tourism. The city is located in the center of Lombardy, the perfect base for your one day trips to discover more cultural hidden gems in Italy.

Take a dip in the Mediterranean sea!

Genova is just 1 hour 30 minutes away by train! From there you can find some of the best Italian beaches such as Santa Margherita Ligure, Recco, Camogli, Cinque Terre and even the stylish Portofino.

Extra tip: If you want to eat it like a local, dunk it in cappuccino!
