Be careful. This is not a warning concerning danger but concerning noise. We have stayed in three different hotels in Milano. The “best” had all the amenities--elevators, bell boys and other good stuff--but it was also very noisy and quite expensive. The most wonderful (really) hotel we stayed in was also the least expensive. Full of charm and exquisitely located. Antica Locanda Solferino only has eight rooms, if I’m not mistaken, so you have to call well in advance of your intended visit. But the rooms are well appointed, comfortable, with balconies that face a quiet, interior street. There is a great wine shop, and next door you'll find a wonderful gelateria. The staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is brought to your room. Convenient, but primarily because the building is too small to provide a breakfast room. Great! If Antica Locanda Solferino is out of rooms, inquire about the apartments the same owners rent. They are close by and a good second choice, with small kitchens and a more 'lived in' feeling.
