Since 2018: two different proposals Milan (please contact Daniela) and Bormio (please contact Paola)
Welcome to Milan!
Our flat is located at 30' walking distance to Duomo square, the very city center. It's a nice 100 sqm flat with a large and a small balcony. The flat is situated in the internal side of the building, so it's a very quiet one. Underground station is just round the corner and it takes 10' to reach Duomo Square, 15' to Montenapoleone and 20' to the main railway station (Stazione Centrale). Using Bikemi, the free bike sharing, you will enjoy better our smart town.
You may wish to visit Milan for many reasons: history and art as you may see roman heritages as many as new architectural worldwide appreciated building and skyscrapers, museum and important exhibitions or masterpieces as Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper. Design and fashion as Milan is one of the most important cities who gave birth to designers and masters as Armani, Prada, Achille Castiglioni or Gio Ponti. Shopping experiences like a big city can offer with big mall or narrow lanes full of artisan and handmade products. And, last but not least, great food and good eating experience from cheese to wine you will enjoy walking around downtown and the famous Darsena channels.

About Our Family
Daniela and Gabriele wish to swap their house in downtown Milan IT 13303 as we did already from 2014.
Starting from 2018, with my sister Paola and my brother Andrea we wish to swap also our family house in Bormio, a village on the mountains between Switzerland and Sudtirol.
When we were young we spent in this house beautiful holidays. Now we wish to swap this house with Intervac friends.
Paola, in particular, is looking for swap opportunities for her and her 2 children, Michele (18) and Francesco (16).
Paola is an architect with long experience in creating maquette for important architects like Vittorio Gregotti. She is now dedicated to create hand-made jewels. Michele is studying music (trumpet and piano) at Milano music conservatoire and Francesco is a good basketball player and a good student, too. They wish to swap for long week end in European main towns. For longer distances they may plan longer holidays apart of schooltime.
Lifestyle
Daniela and Gabriele are fond of art and literature but also like to spend holidays in nice places where walking and biking is possible.
Paola with Michele and Francesco are willing to discover nice places around the world!
