Precotto, Turro and the Martesana: the Milan locals live in
Our apartments are in a real Milanese neighbourhood, not a tourist area: quiet streets, a canal with a cycle path and the liveliest nightlife district just a few stops away.
Is Precotto–Turro a good area to stay in Milan?
Yes, for quiet and value: it is a residential area of north-east Milan along the Naviglio Martesana cycle path, with 24-hour supermarkets, the NoLo district nearby and two M1 stations (Precotto, Turro). The Duomo is about 20 minutes away and Milano Centrale about 15.
Naviglio Martesana
The 15th-century canal crosses Gorla, Turro and Precotto. Along the water runs a pedestrian and cycle path lined with Art Nouveau villas, perfect for a morning run or a bike ride towards Cassina de' Pomm and the city centre.
Parks and green spaces
Villa Finzi park: a historic garden with old trees, a few minutes from Turro.
Parco Trotter: a former racecourse with Alpine-style school buildings, now a neighbourhood park.
Parco Nord: one of the largest parks in Milan, easy to reach by bike.
NoLo and the evenings
NoLo (North of Loreto) is the most creative area of Milan: bars, bistros, the Teatro Studio Melato and the Zelig cabaret on Viale Monza. Around the Martesana there are historic trattorias with pergolas and a pub inside an old tram.
Everyday life
Supermarkets open 24 hours a day, pharmacies, gyms and banks within a few minutes' walk.
M1 Precotto and Turro: Duomo in about 20 minutes, Loreto (M2) in 5.
Free street parking is easier to find than in the centre.
Milano Centrale station: about 15 minutes by metro via Loreto.

Balcony with city views, desk and gigabit fibre, near Bicocca.
