Hotel ratings by criteria:
Hotel for 4 with a minus. The hotel itself is even very personal. Very nice, friendly staff, everyone speaks English, even the Serb and Filipino maids. I serve Indians in the restaurant, so there are no language problems for English speakers at all. The room is small but with decent furniture and the bathroom is cleaned every day. Breakfast is very poor in my opinion. 2 types of sausage 3 types of cheese (I later bought cheese in a supermarket and counted 30 types, not counting mozzarella, etc. ) Few fruits, 1 type of yogurt (well, maybe I'm spoiled). It is very convenient that the Lima metro station is nearby, 4 stops and you are on P-zza Duomo - a straight line. Duomo amazes with its beauty and airiness. I would be banal if I say that it resembles lace in marble. I advise you to visit the rooftop bar La Rinassente, there is a stunning view of the Duomo. Cafes in Vittorio Emannuelle Gallery are unusual, in general the atmosphere is very festive and friendly. Of course, "The Last Supper" is impossible to watch, tickets must be ordered 2 months in advance. But you can just take a walk in the garden of St. Maria della Grasie, take the tram and return straight to the center. By the way, I never managed to get passers-by where to buy a ticket, because they don’t sell on the tram. Traveled in trams as a hare. In the subway it is profitable to buy a ticket for 2 days (3 or 5 euros) I don’t remember. In general, the amount of antiquity and unique architecture per square meter is amazing. Separate conversation - gardens and oases in patio (courtyards). It seems that the Milanese compete who has the most beautiful courtyard! The roofs of the houses are also amazing - the gardens on them are simply amazing! Well, this is romance, and we are girls about earthly things. Shopping in Milan for all tastes. I did not go to Serraval and San Marino. Went to local shops. Girls from St. Petersburg told us that not all sizes and colors are available in Serraval. On Corso Buenos Aires, good shopping is a big exaggeration. Such cheap shops with Chinese goods (but its language does not dare to call it consumer goods - since the latest collections are copied in colors and styles). I bought a pair of decent jeans - there are no analogues in Kyiv at all! Via Torino - I found my shopping street! Via Moskova - just did not have time, but they highly advised. Vit-Emu Gallery - very expensive! Although things are awesome! Well, pizza, risotto, martini, ice cream and compliments - the Italians must be given their due, they have no equal!
