Apartments rented out in Bocconi area
A residence to “pamper” managers
Dinners, parties, cars, cinemas, shopping: a busy manager’s wish immediately granted

The life of managers away for business is not that easy: congresses 12 hours a day, business lunches, dinners and happy hours… the time to organize free time and leisure moments is very little. In Milan, business capital of Italy, someone has decided to pamper these “forced travelers”.
A residence thought for managers has been recently opened in via Biondelli 7, only a few steps from Bocconi University.
An accommodation where everything is ready, managed by Halldis Real Estate, where clients’ needs and whishes are granted at any moment of the day, just like in a 5 stars hotel. Its 25 apartments, with one or two bedroom, are all different from one another: the service is aimed to customize spaces and services.
So, if you want to organize a business or a candle-lit dinner, you can ask for a chef. If you want to organize a party, you just have to call and the company provides a catering service, the same if you need a translator or a driver.
There is even a telephone number for assistance. But managers don’t only have duties. Even pleasures plays an important part: tickets and reservations for cinemas, theatres or restaurants, the possibility to have a personal shopper attending you in the city center, or to get a little help for daily shopping: cobblers, tailors or grocery shopping are all services provided by Halldis.
Moreover, all of the 25 residence apartments are fully equipped with every comfort such as: air conditioning, wireless and cabled Internet access, home automation. Your entrance is controlled by a password and you can adjust the air conditioning even when you’re not at home: all with an eye on energy savings. There’s even a beautiful terrace with a view of Milan rooftops, a guest house to receive friends and a centralized laundry service.
The price of one or two bedroom apartments, all busy in a few weeks from opening time, varies from 1900 to 2800 € per month. The booking is available from a minimum of 3 days to one year.
“Our pièce de resistance – explains Pietro Martani, CEO of the company which manages the building – is an all-round management service at 360°, aimed at making our clients feel right at home.”
Only slightly more spoiled and pampered.
