- A short description of the place and the accommodation -
Located in a Sixties stye residential building with wide windows and balconies with plants overlooking viale Andrea Doria, Doria 44 is two minutes walking from Corso Buenos Aires, one of the busiest shopping roads in the world. Two metro lines (the red and the green ones) are available at Loreto station, just 50 meters far, as well as different buses and the taxi station in piazzale Loreto. The view from the balcony includes two important buildings of the famous milanese architect Gio Ponti: Montedoria building (1970) with its diamond cut green tiles and the Pirelli tower (1961), a landmark of modern architecture in Milan: definitely it is a tipical metropolitan milanese view that we put also in our logo made by the illustrator Michele Tranquillini.
The red line leads to piazza Duomo, piazza san Babila with top label fashion district, Sforzesco Castle, Cadorna train station (terminal of Malpensa Express) and either to the commercial fair in Rho or the one of Portello (inside the city limits). The green line passes through Central Station (terminal of the buses to and from Linate, Malpensa and Orio al Serio airports), Garibaldi Station with the ravish brand new towers of Porta Nuova district, and, again, Cadorna station.
Doria 44 welcomes its guests with a spectacular full wall size black and white photo of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, one of the icons of Milan, that is in the living room where the breakfast is served and it is possible to enjoy time for reading and for music. The furniture match italian design with handicraft works. Doria 44 is next to different bar and restaurants so that the area is lively and safe until late night, though not noisy and not affected by heavy traffic.
Doria 44 has four bedrooms, two with a double bed and two with a double bed plus a single bed. Each room has its own bathroom and wi-fi, tv, fridge, safe box, room cleaning and linen change every 3 days,(dayly on request) Breakfast is prepared and served by the two householders Giancarlo and Alessandro, both willing to share this first part of the day with you. In the library of the living room you can find art, design and photographs books. The corridor of the sleeping area is dominated by a computer art work of Carina Vanesa Aprile, dedicated to italian and international cities where our guests could come from.
Each bedroom is nominated after the place of Milan that is represented in the black and white blow up image over the bed. The purpose is to create an effect of a window open to the city. You find water and coffee always available in the kitchen. Generally the check in is between 12 am and 6 pm, check out is within 10.30 am
