Casa Base

Milan


Hot on the heels of the co-working trend is this co-living artists' residence and guesthouse styled by Stella Orsini, who’s imbued its 10 rooms with a rustic '50s vintage vibe. Part of the massive renovated Ansaldo steelworks, it also includes access to the co-working space and bar, and has cool events on constant rotation.

Check-in is between 2pm and 6pm only; otherwise pay a €25 surcharge.
