Casera Loft — a secret 17th century courtyard in the heart of Navigli

The Apartment:

Welcome to Corte de' Furmagiàtt — one of Milan's most famous hidden courtyards, built in the 1600s as a dairy farmers' courtyard ("furmagiàtt" means cheese-makers in Milanese dialect). Step through the street entrance and the noise of the city disappears instantly.

The Casera Loft sits inside this extraordinary courtyard: exposed wooden beams, original brickwork, and a loft layout spread across two levels — a corner of authentic Milan that most tourists never find, yet right in the middle of everything.

What our guests says....

Andrea, UK ★★★★★

"Fantastic stay in this very small but lovely, clean and well presented apartment. It is in a great location for accessing the canals, restaurants and nightlife in Navigli, which are just a short walk away, yet its private setting makes it a quiet place once indoors. The host, Enrica, was very helpful, particularly with directions on arrival."
