5-bed Milan penthouse (Italy),€4,600,000

On 3 April 2024

In city living, Contemporary, Europe, High rise, Italy, luxury

Views over Milan are just one of the selling points of this luxurious penthouse apartment

For a suitably-luxurious and fashionable penthouse apartment in Italy’s capital of style – Milan – this two-floor, five-bed dwelling is ideal. Situated within the San Siro district, a culturally rich and green neighbourhood, there is approx. 600 m2 of accommodation on the top two floors of the prestigious Residenza Auriga that you may like to call home.

A large open-plan living and entertaining area dominates the space on the lower level

The impressive building has a lift (phew) and a 24-hour concierge service, and the penthouse on sale has been renovated and upgraded to deliver modern elegance in the heart of a stylish city.

Exquisitely designed and finished to a high standard, the apartment is the comfortable ‘pad’ you need in this stylish city

The lower floor of the property is where the main living areas can be found, all of which glow in the natural light from ample windows and patio doors. The living room is vast and suitable for a full household; there is enough space for a lounging area as well as a grand piano and billiard table, not to mention a bar area for when Friday night demands some livelier entertainment.

The neat kitchen has views straight onto the terrace and over Milan

On this level you can also find a spacious kitchen with room for dining. This will likely become the choice for less formal eating occasions as there is a more spectacular space up those glorious ‘floating’ stairs that lead to the upper floor..

A spacious dining room opens out to the terrace and pool to create a sublime entertaining space

The top floor of the penthouse has a large dining space – it can fit a table of 12 – that opens completely onto the sun terrace. Outside there is a long, delicious swimming pool that will demand a dip when the Italian weather is too intense.

Cool off in Italian summers in the great-sized pool

There is a bathroom on this upper level, not to mention stupendous views over the Milan city skyline and a space for al fresco drinking and lounging. When it’s time to slumber, there is a bedroom on this top floor although the main bulk of sleeping rooms are back on the lower floor.

Five bedrooms are tucked away across the two levels; they’re all large and opulent

All five bedrooms within the property are large and immaculate, with sizeable windows that add an extra sense of space and light despite being within an apartment. The bedrooms all boast their own en-suite, and all have been finished in fine marble for another dash of elegance in this superbly stylish pad.

Elegant marble finishes make all six bathrooms feel luxurious

The location is incredibly convenient for easy access to the city centre, yet without feeling stifled by it. The San Siro district is know for its eponymous stadium (home of AC Milan) and is located 5km north-west of the city centre. This distance is quickly covered on the city’s train lines (there is a local metro station) and flights can be caught just 45km away at Milan Airport.

With quick connections downtown, this apartment offers a serene escape within easy reach of the action

The area has lots of sports facilities and lush green spaces, as well as a lively restaurant and bar scene that saves a trip into Milan center when you’re feeling slow.

4-bed penthouse with views over the Eternal City, Rome (Italy), €8,400,000

On 27 October 2023

In city living, Contemporary, Europe, Historic, Italy, luxury, Rome

This is how you admire Rome’s architecture without the crowds

Searching for the ultimate penthouse pad in Rome with views to die for? An impressive two-level penthouse in a historic building overlooking the Quirinale gardens – with stunning views over the Eternal City – is now on the market.

Marble and columns are used throughout the property for a palatial style

You’ll be delighted by this property from the moment you enter the marble entrance way and first discover the sleeping quarters which sit on the lower level of this ‘upside down’ layout (it optimises the views). The master suite is vast yet comfortable, complete with bathroom, dressing area and sitting area. The interior design has merged the historic sophistication of features such as the floors with Asian flourishes to create a warm, comforting space.

The master bedroom has a sitting area, dressing area and attached en-suite

The bathroom is large and to a standard one might expect in a luxury hotel, albeit with a charming eccentricity in the design – who doesn’t love a submerged bath you can to climb steps up to?

A mix of styles are employed to create impressive bathrooms (spot the mirror-lined sunken tub!)

On this floor there is a stylish and spacious second bedroom which also comes with its own bathroom and private sitting area to deliver in-house guests the same privacy and luxury the owner will be enjoying.

The second bedroom also has its own private sitting room for the ultimate guest experience

Contrary to most properties, climb up the stylish curved staircase to find the run of reception rooms, the most impressive of which is the enormous living room, sumptuous in its layout. The views from the windows – and there are many windows to allow the room to wash with light – is simply incredible.

The open-plan sitting area runs the length of the property

This floor also holds a formal dining room with space for large parties to sit together (with wine supplied from your own cellar that comes with this property). It leads straight off the living area but can easily be closed off with sliding doors for privacy.

Formal dining area flows straight from the lounge, with the option to close doors for privacy

There are two terraces on this level and can be arranged to provide seating areas, dining areas and sunbathing areas as required, with umbrellas used for keeping off the harshest summer sun. There is also a roof terrace – the ideal spot for watching the sunset over the Vatican.

Multiple terraces on both levels encourage drinking and dining with an incredible backdrop

There is over 400 sq m of space within this penthouse and all of it is masterfully designed to feel elegant, comfortable and washed with the Roman light that reminds how much there is to see just outside the doors.

Soak up the Roman sun as you admire its architectural charms

For the occasions when the delicious Italian food out on the streets doesn’t dominate, there is a neatly-designed and convenient kitchen with an attached utility room. This sits close to the staff quarters to allow those hired to help to move to the necessary areas easily.

This penthouse feels far more spacious than expected and delivers palatial living in a smaller package

The penthouse comes with access to a double garage in addition to the wine cellar, as well as a full-time concierge service for handling small tasks or local requests.

Living in a historic building in the heart of historic Rome is an experience few could turn down

This atmospheric property in located right in the heart of historic Rome, with easy access to train stations for moving around the city. Rome’s main airport (Fiumicino Airport) is 32 km outside the city centre – this is where most international and national flights arrive and leave from. There is a smaller airport used by budget airlines just 16 km (Ciampino), while Rome’s main station has high speed trains to Milan, Florence and Bologna.

Chic Viennese ‘Palais’ penthouse (Austria), €8,800,000

On 29 September 2023

In city living, Contemporary, Europe, High rise, Historic, luxury, Vienna

A penthouse apartment in a historic building right in the heart of the city is surely the only way to enjoy life in Vienna

To truly embrace the elegance and style of Vienna, one needs an elegant, stylish and superbly-located penthouse to retire to at the end of a glorious day in the city. Look no further than the Palais Hansen, a historic building that was extensively renovated over a decade ago to accommodate a five-star hotel and 17 luxurious apartments.

The building may be historic, but this space is contemporary, bright and elegant

One of these apartments is up for sale: a wonderful modern penthouse apartment that will impress from the moment you step into the grand entrance hall, complete with a double-height hanging chandelier and slick staircase.

Glide straight on towards the open plan living, dining and cooking area, all basking under a wash of natural light from windows and skylights and providing ample entertaining and chilling space.

The open-plan living/dining/cooking areas are swathed in light from the generous use of skylights and windows

The kitchen is within its own nook and enjoys a connected utility/laundry room that ensures the daily drudge of housekeeping tasks can be hidden away from the main space.

There is an additional seating area in the kitchen space to provide options for both informal and formal dining

Of course when the sun shines you will be eager to lounge and dine out on the spacious, comfortable roof terrace, from where the beautiful buildings of Vienna can be admired at close quarters.

The terrace has a covering that can be rolled out if wet or too hot – but can you bear to hide the view?

The master bedroom suite is as opulent as you’d expect in such a remarkable building and comes complete with access to another smaller terrace overlooking the inner courtyard. An ideal place for your morning coffee, perhaps?

Bedrooms, both en-suite, are simple but chic and incredibly comfortable

There are a further two impeccable bedroom suites within this roomy appartment, both of which have beautifully-finished en suite bathrooms.

Having an en-suite both bedrooms make the accommodation incredibly convenient

In terms of location, this building could hardly be bettered. It’s located on the famous Ringstrasse Boulevard, with excellent transport links and local amenities in close proximity. How can we forget the incredible historic sites the First District contains? These are on the doorstep too!

Try to watch the TV but be distracted by the view..

Vienna is well served with an international airport 18 km away from the centre of town. There is also a large train station with connections to the rest of the country as well as nearby Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary.

Elegant 1900s penthouse in Milan (Italy), €3,000,000

On 12 September 2023

In Europe, Historic, Italy, luxury

A stylish city requires a stylish apartment in which to enjoy it

To truly embody life in Milan, the Italian capital of style and fashion, one needs an elegant penthouse apartment that cherishes the historical features while delivering the modern conveniences and luxuries.

This elegant penthouse retains historical flourishes with added modern luxuries

Within an elegant building dating back to 1910 – passing through the beautifully renovated communal areas – your new home could be this two-level penthouse of glorious light and proportion.

Beautiful wooden floors stretch throughout the two-level penthouse

Beyond the entrance hall lies the lounge, a study and a neat, chic dining room for entertaining long into the night (the Italian way, of course).

Various reception rooms can be used as desired – this makes a stylish dining area

The kitchen is exquisitely fitted, nestling in neatly under on of the staircases. There is ample space for preparing meals alongside a kitchen table for more casual meals and long chats over a cup of coffee.

Intrepid carpentry has enabled this chic kitchen to nestle in beneath one of the staircases

The lounge opens onto a charming terrace, which could serve as the ideal spot for morning coffee or an aperitivo (or three) before a night sampling Milan’s dynamism.

With terraces on both levels, you won’t feel hemmed in by apartment living

The master sleeping suite of this property continues the theme of historic style and elegance in simplicity. There is a spacious bedroom that opens onto another terrace and sits beside a chic bathroom.

Large, bright bedrooms come accompanied by elegant bathrooms

The bedroom also boasts an impressive walk-in closet to ensure you never leave your penthouse without looking your very best for the stylish Milanese.

This is what you call a Wardrobe – a dressing area to impress!

The upper floor, nestled gloriously within the eaves, is another large bedroom suite, complete with bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. The current owners are using this space as an additional lounge area but it would make a dramatic and spacious bedroom at the top of the property.

A large suite within the eaves could make a palatial master suite or turned to another purpose, such as a studio

The three-bedroom property comes with two covered parking spaces inside the building – a real perk for living within the city – and the location is superb. Situated close to the oasis of Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli and within striking distance of the lively Brera area, the apartment places owners on the edge of the dynamism, while still offering a peaceful slice of serenity.

Elegance and space are two of the prominent vibes, making this penthouse feel welcoming while impressive

Milan Malpensa International Airport is 49km outside the city but well-connected via trains and taxis. The main train station is the country’s second biggest and provides connections to other major hubs.

5-bed Dubai Bugatti Penthouse, £31,605,360

On 25 August 2023

In Contemporary, Dubai, High rise, luxury, Middle East, Nature, seaview

This new building will be sleek, impressive and impeccably-designed for luxurious living

One of the newest residential towers to grace Dubai’s skylines (as of May 2023 it was under construction) is the incredibly exclusive and luxurious Bugatti Residences by Binghatti Properties.

Across two towers are 182 units that range from 2-bedroom Cannes mansions to the 4-bedroom Monaco mansions, with the Sky Mansion Penthouse Collection providing the ultimate elite living: 11 mansions and a single upper penthouse.

Each property has more floor-space than assumed as designers limited the whole building to just 182 units

The spectacular exterior design of the Bugatti Residences is matched by the interior flourishes and a Residence within this property is definitely more wow-your-friends than cosy-ing down with a cuppa.

The entrance alone is enough to wow whoever is fortunate enough to be seated alongside you in your Bugatti

Best to arrive in your Bugatti, which can be whisked up and parked within the largest of the Residences for the complete James Bond experience. The units – just 3/4 to each level – optimise the location and the light (with more windows than walls) and internal architecture is more akin to museum pieces than your average pad.

The living space is vast – both tall and wide – and revels in the majesty of the view

A vast living space is matched by an elegant and fully-fitted kitchen that spills into the dining area, with open-plan living the ideal way to celebrate the space and the views in these elite units.

The kitchen is well-equipped and cleverly designed, although undoubtedly the night life of Dubai may be more tempting than cooking

Bedrooms are vast and exceptionally well-finished, with blackout blinds that ensure the spectacle of the sunrise doesn’t startle you awake each morning.

Bedrooms boast as much space as the living areas and will ensure high-rise life never feels restrictive

You may be close to the sea on all sides, but you’d surely prefer to swim in your private pool while watching Dubai rush about it’s business outside the window/walls.

A morning swim in your personal pool as Dubai wakes up out the huge windows will be a treat

The bathrooms are beautifully designed and deliver the effortless elegance seen across the whole building. As one would expect these days, the standalone tub delivers the ideal location for bathing while marvelling at the location and the blue blue sky.

No, not an art piece but a standalone bath with a stand-out view

When you can bear to leave the serenity of the majestic unit, jump into your Bugatti and take the lift back down to the ‘real world’. The Residences are ideally located for the main business district of the emirate of Dubai, Business Bay, and is close to Al Khail Road and Sheikh Zayed Road. The neighbouring areas of Al Wasl and Downtown Dubai provide the bars and eateries and a bit of buzz when needed. For getting in and out, Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport is a 30-minute drive away.
