About

Il Cortiletto

Il Cortiletto is a small bed and breakfast on Via Schiaparelli, a short walk from Milano Centrale railway station. The property is housed in a villa and offers a handful of rooms, a shared kitchen, and a lounge area – a setup that suits travellers who want independence and a home-like feel rather than a full-service hotel.

The host, Laura, is frequently praised for her warm welcome and practical advice. Guests consistently highlight the cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms, the comfort of the beds, and the convenience of the location – with the metro, train station, and a supermarket all within easy walking distance.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Shared facilities — The kitchen and lounge are shared with other guests – not ideal if you prefer full privacy.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 12:00 and 20:00, so late arrivals may be a challenge.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
  • Basic facilities rating — The facilities score is lower than the rest of the property's ratings, suggesting a modest level of on-site amenities.

“We had a lovely stay here. The host welcomed us in person, which made arriving in a foreign city much easier. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and practical, and the shared kitchen was well equipped. The apartment is within walking distance of Centrale Station and a small supermarket, and getting to the centre by metro or on foot was easy. We'd happily stay again.”
