Un posto a Milano is a guesthouse set inside an 18th-century farmhouse in the Porta Romana district of Milan, with an inner garden, common room, on-site restaurant and bar.
The entirely non-smoking property occupies a historic building that still retains the charm of the original farmhouse, now turned into an informal guest house suited to those looking for an atmosphere different from a classic city hotel: perfect for curious travellers, families and groups of friends who want to move around the city easily while staying in an intimate setting.
The rooms, all with a private bathroom (some with the bathroom located outside the room), feature air conditioning, bed linen and towels included, ranging from the smallest doubles to quadruple rooms designed for small groups; some overlook the inner courtyard or the garden.
Guests have access to common spaces such as the TV lounge, luggage storage, a lift and a shared garden, as well as an on-site restaurant and services like cooking classes and themed evenings that make the stay more sociable.
The rooms at Un posto a Milano occupy the renovated spaces of the farmhouse and are mainly divided into doubles and quadruples, ranging from 14 to 22 square metres. All feature a private bathroom, air conditioning and bed linen provided, while several room types overlook the farmhouse’s inner courtyard, a feature that strongly defines the property’s atmosphere.
The two double rooms differ in bed layout, which can be configured as separate single beds or as a double bed, and in whether the bathroom is inside the room or not. The two quadruple rooms, designed for groups or large families, offer more space and, in one case, a garden view instead of the courtyard. No room lacks air conditioning: it is always present, as is the private bathroom, though sometimes located just outside the room.
This 17 sqm double is the most flexible room in the property: the bed layout can be requested as two single beds or as a single large double bed, and it is the only room with a bathroom located directly inside the room. It overlooks the farmhouse’s inner courtyard and features air conditioning.
The most compact room in the guesthouse, at 14 sqm with two separate single beds. Unlike the other double, the private bathroom here is located just outside the room. This room also overlooks the farmhouse’s inner courtyard and includes air conditioning.
Designed for groups of four, this 20 sqm quadruple room features four single beds and a private bathroom inside the room. Like the doubles, it overlooks the farmhouse’s courtyard and is air conditioned, offering more space than the property’s double rooms.
The largest room in the property, at 22 sqm with four single beds. It is the only room type with a garden view instead of the courtyard, while the private bathroom is located outside the room. Ideal for those looking for the most spacious room group available.
Un posto a Milano offers a series of common spaces designed to make a stay in the farmhouse more sociable: garden, common room with TV area, luggage storage and a lift are available to all guests, along with free internet access throughout the property. The property is entirely non-smoking, with a dedicated smoking area outside.
On the dining side, the guesthouse has an on-site restaurant, a bar and a coffee shop, with special diet menus available on request and meals also suited to children. Guests can also take part in cooking classes, happy hours and themed evenings organised by the property, an added value for those who want to experience the farmhouse’s atmosphere beyond simply staying overnight.
The rooms, all with a private bathroom, air conditioning and bed linen included, round out an offer designed for an informal stay with attention to detail.
Un posto a Milano occupies one of the city’s most well-known historic farmhouses, Cascina Cuccagna, in the Porta Romana district, just 800 metres from the metro station of the same name. The area still retains a popular, sociable feel, with inns, bars and small restaurants born from the redevelopment of the rural spaces that once surrounded Milan, and it has a different atmosphere from the more touristy city centre.

Just a short walk from the property, at 850 metres, is the Fondazione Prada, a must for contemporary art lovers, while Parco di Via Nervesa, 800 metres away, offers a green space away from traffic. Those with more time can head towards the historic centre to visit the Castello Sforzesco, about 3.2 km away, or the Cenacolo Vinciano, 3.6 km away.
