Exclusive 15th Century Penthouse for Corporate Events in Milan

This 270+ m² apartment is on the entire top floor of a XV century palace in Via Meravigli, just a few steps from Piazza Cordusio and a short walk from both the Duomo and the Sforzesco Castle.

Conceived not as a tourist rental but as a private, invitation-only venue, the penthouse is ideal for corporate events, showrooms, private dinners, tastings and content creation. There are no beds and no overnight stays: guests experience the space as a sophisticated private home with the structure and reliability of a professional venue.

The Space

The penthouse occupies an entire floor of a prestigious residential palazzo, with sloping ceilings, several windows and architectural details that create an intimate yet representative atmosphere.

The apartment is composed of several generous reception rooms overlooking the surrounding streets and courtyards, interconnected in a way that allows a natural flow between welcome area, main event room, dining or presentation space and breakout zones.

A separate area, currently carpeted, is not used for sleeping but can easily be repurposed as a VIP lounge, wardrobe, backstage, green room or quiet breakout area.

There are:
-large living room with fireplace, sofa, access to a large terrace
-small living room with a multifunctional table (table, pool, ping-pong) access to a small terrace
-A dining room
-An office
-A powder room
-A full bathroom
-3 carpeted rooms
-A large kitchen, currently with water, induction plates, traditional oven/microwave, but no fridge or dishwasher
-A service bathroom
-A small room

Thanks to its layout and character, the palace works equally well for daytime business use and evening events that require a refined, residential setting.
