Where am I?

At Via Monte Bianco 33, in San Donato Milanese, just past the southern edge of Milan. The San Donato stop of the M3 metro is still in the city of Milan, on the border, and I am 1.3 km from it.

By metro and bus

Take the yellow M3 line to San Donato, the last stop. From there it is a walk of about 18 minutes, or a few minutes on bus 121 or Z420.

From Linate Airport

About 12 minutes by car in normal traffic. By public transport it takes much longer, with changes, so from Linate I suggest a taxi or a car. There is a page just for travellers from Linate.

By car

Public parking in the surrounding streets.

My rooms

Three spaces, one house: the main hall with its red lamps and black-and-white photos on the walls, the small room for a table that wants to be on its own, and the bar lit by my neon portrait. The main hall seats from 50 to 65 people, the small room up to 25, the bar 18. The main hall and the small room can be reserved just for you.

Good to know

All my spaces are step-free, with an accessible toilet. Your dog can come with you, and there is wifi. There is no outdoor space: my table is all indoors.
