The AP•Art•ment

Tucked away in a 1920s courtyard building in the vibrant heart of Milan, The AP•Art•ment is more than a one-bedroom apartment: it’s a living gallery. Here, history and contemporary design converse effortlessly, creating an atmosphere where every detail tells a story. Step inside and you’ll find original architectural features—soaring ceilings, patterned floors, antique doors—serving as a timeless backdrop for an extraordinary collection of Italian design icons and contemporary art. Perfect for one or two guests, the apartment offers a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, living room, one bedroom and a bathroom, designed with the same attention to detail as its curated furniture and artworks.

Vintage treasures such as the Maralunga sofa by Vico Magistretti for Cassina, stainless steel chairs by Willy Rizzo, and a wardrobe by Osvaldo Borsani sit alongside sculptural sconces and rare lighting from the 1960s to the 1980s. The apartment reflects the vision of its architect-owner Andrea Villa, whose own works—like the suspended Ray cabinet or a chrome swivel mirror hiding a secret medicine cabinet—add a personal touch to the curated selection. Even the striking green marble bathroom, with its Art Deco references, feels like part of the narrative.

More than just a place to stay, The AP•Art•ment is an experience that blurs the line between hospitality and gallery. Every object, artwork, and accessory is available for purchase, allowing guests to take a piece of Milanese design culture home with them.
