Milan

If you find a vacation rental in Lombardy then be sure to pay a visit to the region's cosmopolitan capital and fashion hot-spot. Explore Milan’s endless chic bars, restaurants, and coffee shops and you will find not only endless tasty Italian delights but wonders from all over the world. However, if you’re after something distinctly Milanese, then we recommend their minestrone (using rice unlike the pasta used throughout the rest of Italy), ossobuco (the city’s signature veal dish prepared with vegetables in white wine and broth), and gorgonzola, which hails from the nearby town of the same name. If you’re about at Christmas? Try the panettone as Milan is one of the places that claims to have been its birthplace.

Venice is famously beautiful for her iconic canals but also for the incredible buildings reflected in the waters of the lagoon and set against this unique landscape. Those who find a vacation rental in Venice should take time to really pay attention to the sumptuous architectural gems that abound throughout this magical part of Italy...

Not only are many buildings in Venice constructed in strange and specific ways to fit the topography of the city but they are also a wonderful blend of styles and influences due to its location, which was once the, “gateway to the East”. Peoples from all over the world have come to, and passed through Venice, for centuries upon centuries and brought ideas and knowledge with them.
