Milanese modernist quarters
The Brivio Sforza family reimagined a rebuilt wing of their ancestral palazzo as an intimate guesthouse celebrating mid-century Milanese domestic life.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Mid-century Milanese interiors with custom Cassina cabinetry and diamond-patterned ceilings.
Notable
A 1970s rationalist shell rebuilt on the grounds of a fifteenth-century family palazzo.
Notable
Breakfast delivered from historic Marchesi 1824 and tailored neighborhood itineraries in Carrobbio.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open into Carrobbio, with the artisan lanes of Cinque Vie and the Duomo both a short walk away.
The rooms
Custom wardrobes divide the sleeping spaces and conceal compact kitchenettes, paired with ribbed glass and brass-accented bathrooms.
How it began
Palazzo Brivio has belonged to the family since the fifteenth century, though wartime bombing led to this rationalist wing being rebuilt in 1972.
