Artful courtyard residence
Communal balconies overlook a quiet open-air courtyard where graphic murals and bold furniture turn a classic Milanese tenement into an artful retreat.
“This intimate 42-room boutique hotel is dressed in a medley of furnishings and ornaments, with vibrant splashes adding color to the communal spaces.”
