Some players have even rented apartments or villas nearby so they can fully immerse themselves in the Italian culture while still having access to all of the luxury amenities available at these hotels.

The M7 Contemporary Apartments projects began with the refurbishment of a historic neoclassical building, of which its interior was completely reinterpreted, creating a spatial subdivision aimed at maximum functionality and the exploitation of all usable space.

Minimalist interiors

In the hotel, 11 large apartments are equipped with a kitchen and living area. The rooms stand out with linear design, consisting of furnishings with an intimate and refined touch. Each unit is different from another. For example, while one room adorns a minimalist, crisp-white look, another is decorated in wooden surfaces with a dynamic asymmetrical fireplace separating the bedroom from the living room.

Each apartment is cared for in every detail with custom-made furnishings: from wardrobes to sofas, from takes to soft lights, every detail has been designed with the aim of the spaces looking and feeling unique and special. The jewel of these areas is the selection of iconic objects of Italian design that embellish the rooms and exteriors.

M7, strategically located next to the 19th century Piazza della Libertà, prides itself on being the ideal home for those who appreciate design, location and functionality.
