Il Filo d’Erba is a project founded in 2015, that is taking shape following the desire to combine the pleasure of hospitality with the passion for art and gardening. The lodging is located in a characteristic Milanese house of 1930, completely restored in 2016 seeking to preserve its “Vecchia Milano” atmosphere, while at the same time completely renovating facilities and technological equipment with a special focus on energy efficiency.
The setting
The house is located in the heart of Baggio, historic district of Milan. Access from a small private street, along with the property’s garden in front of the house and the large park of the historic elementary schools with its century old trees, which surround it on the other three sides, create a unique context. Many visitors tell us that here it does not seem like Milan given the atmosphere of tranquility that is taken in. We prefer to say that this is a place close to what you need, but far from the city chaos (which we don’t need!).
The inspiration
The name “Il Filo d’Erba” (blade of grass in Italian) originates from the work of Eugène Guillevic, a Breton poet who inspired us with his verses on a green utopia.
What we offer
Our cozy studio apartment, suitable for up to two people and furnished with care and attention to detail, is available to our guests. The lodging is provided with a fully equipped kitchenette – as well as of course a private bathroom – and a range of accommodations that make for a pleasant and restful stay. High-speed Wi-Fi is always available both inside and outside. The garden, with its nice old-fashioned gazebo, as well as the chill-out corner located in the quiet courtyard behind the house, are always available to relax or even work comfortably.
