A not-so-central neighborhood that results as an area apart from the city that despite being suburban has a respectable chic soul. We are talking about the area between the stadium and the racetrack so San Siro to Lotto. Now, not all of the area is refined, chic and elegant, we are talking about streets such as via Ippodromo, via Fetonte, via dei Rospigliosi and via Pessano, as well as the network of inner streets where elegant detached villas and mansions surrounded by greenery stand out. Some historic residences stand out for their attention to architectural details, with wrought-iron gates and doors and references to the Art Nouveau style. The more recently built penthouses, on the other hand, attain premium prices and offer large panoramic terraces with swimming pools and views of the surrounding greenery.
The city’s chic neighborhood
San Siro is often associated with stadiums, soccer, sports and concerts. But it is often not known that this area has noteworthy style and sophistication within it. For example, the old De Montel stables, once a destination for the upper middle class, have been transformed into a luxurious spa that still intact the Art Nouveau style of the time. In addition, the presence of sports facilities and equestrian centers adds to the area’s charm. All these factors make this part of San Siro a residential area perceived as exclusive, distinct from the rest of the city, and particularly sought after by soccer players, show business personalities and others. San Siro is not far from the center, but it maintains a more intimate, almost “garden city” character, making it an exclusive choice compared to other more chaotic areas.
The beauty of San Siro
Green areas and areas with little traffic, Art Nouveau villas such as the fairy house, a fascinating building with turrets and its colors. And then the new spa, the largest Italian spa complex in a big city and the first green spa in Europe: over 16 thousand square meters of space.
