Casa Calicantus

In Milan’s Porta Sempione — a family-run 19th-century villa turned boutique townhouse just steps from Sempione Park and Arco della Pace. It’s a 10–15 minute walk to Castello Sforzesco and Santa Maria delle Grazie, with the Duomo and Teatro alla Scala a short ride away.

Period charm meets simple comfort: six air-conditioned rooms in a restored villa with coffered ceilings, arches, niches and antique doors. Five working fireplaces lend warmth and character, while flat-screen TVs, safes, desks and daily housekeeping keep stays easy. The garden is home to a centenary calicantus that blooms each January.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet, a garden with views, and bicycles available to rent. Concierge and a hair salon are onsite. Enjoy calm city mornings and the scent of calicantus in the air.

24-hour business center, luggage storage, dry cleaning and laundry services, safe-deposit box at the front desk, and self parking available onsite (charges may apply).

Continental/buffet breakfast is served daily from 8:00–10:00 AM (charges may apply), a simple start before you head out to explore Milan’s culinary neighborhoods.
