Discovering around Aldea
Aldea is located in Milan’s burgeoning uptown district, the part of the city where the traditional and the contemporary meet. A neighbourhood with a unique, inimitable history and blend of styles. Here you will find award-winning restaurants and street food delis, co-working spaces like Otto and exclusive patios like the rooftop of Ceresio 7 and vintage clothing stores.
Never too noisy, always a pleasant place to be, the Aldea neighbourhood stands out from the nearby City Life and Gae Aulenti districts for its unique urban spirit, where the roots of the city of Milan are never blurred by an excessive thirst for novelty.
