Over 100 apartments across Milan's central neighborhoods, designed for travelers seeking comfort and independence.
Milan Retreats began as a single vision: to welcome visitors to Milan in a way that transcended conventional hospitality. Elisa Lainati founded the company with the intention of combining elegance, comfort, and tailored service in the city's most exclusive areas. What started as a concept has grown into a network of over 100 apartments, each thoughtfully designed to make guests feel at home despite being away from it. The apartments are distributed across nine central Milan neighborhoods: Duomo–San Babila, Repubblica–Centrale, Brera, Navigli, Porta Romana, Cadorna, Porta Venezia, Isola, and CityLife. This geographic spread allows visitors to anchor themselves in different parts of the city depending on their purpose—whether attending Milan Fashion Week, exploring cultural institutions, or using the city as a base for travel to Cortina or other northern destinations. The operational philosophy rests on four pillars: hospitality, welcome, integrity, and transparency. The team, described as close-knit and continuously growing, works in an environment that emphasizes collaboration, well-being, and professionalism. Every member shares the goal of ensuring an unforgettable stay, with continuous assistance available from 9 a.m. to midnight via WhatsApp and a dedicated Guest Hub located at Via del Bollo 2, near the Duomo. Over the years, Milan Retreats has become synonymous with quality and reliability, adapting to an increasingly diverse clientele while maintaining meticulous attention to detail. The company has achieved significant milestones in becoming a trusted name for short-term accommodation in Milan. Looking forward, the organization envisions further evolution in wellness and experiential hospitality, with plans to establish a beauty wellness center dedicated to guests—a move intended to deepen the personalization of each stay, transforming accommodation into a journey of relaxation and rejuvenation.
