On a recent trip to Milan, I had the chance to revisit Villa Necchi Campiglio, which is definitely a must for architecture fans, so today I’m giving you a look inside.
I always have this sense that the best things in Milan are hidden away in those courtyards and palazzos behind those massive wooden exterior doors. Now I know.
Enjoy! And if you need any other tips, ask away. I love getting questions from readers and sometimes dedicate issues of the New Roman Times to answering them.
Thank you! Do you have any restaurant recommendations in Milan? We plan a day excursion to the lakes and wonder which one you recommend? Ruminating a visit to Hotel Passalacqua for lunch. Thoughts?
In Milan, I like Langosteria Bistro for seafood, 10_11 in the Portrait Hotel for the pasta in bianco (sounds simple but it’s anything but), and Mezè for Lebanese.
And I love Passalacqua. It’s definitely a splurge, but the ambiance is truly sumptuous, the service is excellent, and Viviana Varese’s cuisine is delicious. If you go, I recommend her version of pasta e patate with pistachios. You can read my full review here: https://www.chase.com/travel/guide/hotels/passalacqua-review
@Marco and Sabrina, sorry I meant to reply to your comment and accidentally deleted it instead! I'm assuming you were referring to "I Am Love"?
Indeed, Laura
Such a great movie. I need to watch it again.

Oh definitely! Milan is full of hidden gems behind closed doors.
Can't wait to see it in October!

Amazing and thanks so much. I may ask you for more recommendations as we near October.
This villa is on my forever to-do list. Maybe 2025 will be the year!
It’s really worth a visit!
Love Villa Necchi, it’s one of my all time favorite places in Milan!
Me too! It’s so special.
