The house
AethosEclectic clubhouse bolthole
A traditional courtyard building runs as an eclectic members' club, bringing together private drawing rooms and a lively social scene.
“Upstairs, rooms are warm and cocooning, with a nod to the 1970s: Think deep burgundy tones, original artwork, and handpicked vintage Italian furniture.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
the interiors are impeccably designed, there’s more of a drawing-room vibe in the lobby than a public-architecture vibe…
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Piazza XXIV Maggio sits just outside, with the Darsena waterfront and buzzing Navigli canal bars a short walk away.
The rooms
Rooms display parquet floors and vintage sports gear, and many open onto private balconies above the central courtyard.
The gym
Technogym equipment sits alongside vintage tennis racquets and trophies, with dedicated space for yoga and Pilates.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
ZAÏA
Under petal chandeliers and curved banquettes, the dining room serves shared Mediterranean plates from an open tiled kitchen.
Rooms are particularly spacious and enveloping, with subtle vintage nods, textured fabrics and deep hues (midnight blues, burgundy reds, charcoal greys).
At the table
The Doping Bar serves house cocktails over tufted stools, opening onto a paved courtyard terrace with bistro tables.
How it began

Originally operating as The Yard, the property reopened under Aethos after a full redesign that added a private members' club.
