Some units enjoy views of the city or the garden, with a dedicated patio. Breakfast, served Italian-style or as a buffet, is included in the stay.

The three room types available at Cascina 1956 share a similar layout: air-conditioned rooms of 13-14 sqm, with a private bathroom featuring a bidet, shower and courtesy set, a kitchen or kitchenette complete with fridge, oven and coffee machine, a flat-screen TV and an independent entrance. Each room is designed for a self-catering stay, with a barbecue available and bed linen and towels included.
What sets them apart is mainly the view and bed configuration: the Double Room with Private Bathroom is the only one with a garden view in addition to the city view, the Deluxe Room with Extra Bed adds a living area and dining area designed for families or small groups, while the Budget Double/Twin Room, the most compact at 13 sqm and for two guests, offers the flexibility of twin beds or a double bed on request.
