The flat Castagnola 501 is a cosy unit characterised by a modern and functional design. Upon entering, you are greeted by a large, simply furnished living room with a grey sofa that doubles as a sofa bed (Please note: the sofa bed is not prepared for your arrival, as we think it is only fair that you use the sofa during the hours when you are not sleeping. You will find sheets, pillows and blankets in the cupboard/shelf closest to the sofa). Natural light penetrates abundantly through a large window that connects the interior with a balcony, offering an outdoor space perfect for relaxing. The living area is completed by a light wood wall unit that includes shelves for storage, a desk perfect for work or study, and a television. The kitchen, located next to the living room, is compact but well organised, with light wood surfaces that contrast harmoniously with the white furniture. It is equipped with modern appliances, including an induction hob and a built-in oven. The area is designed to be functional, with a stainless steel sink and ample space for preparing meals, all illuminated by under-cabinet lights that create a warm and welcoming ambience. The bedroom has a minimalist and elegant style that follows the aesthetic line of the flat. It is furnished with a double bed with a dark wooden frame, combined with white bed linen and decorative black and white cushions, which add a sophisticated touch to the ambience. Next to the bed is a wooden bedside table with a modern lamp. A window provides pleasant natural light. The flat's white-tiled bathroom has a bathtub with an integrated shower, a washbasin with mirror and a cabinet for storing personal belongings. The distinctive element of the flat is the private balcony, accessible from the living room, furnished with a small round metal table and two chairs.
