Un letto nel cortile
A haven between nature and culture
“The Lombard courtyard (simply called “court”) is an architectural type of housing which is typical of the Pianura Padana and is characterized by a court surrounded by a building complex. Its origins date back to feudalism, in the middle of the Medieval era.
The continuous aggregation of several courts around the original one led to the birth of the historic centers of the local municipalities.
The Lombard courts are mainly located in county areas around Milan, Monza, Lodi, Cremona, Mantova, Bergamo, Brescia, Varese, Como, Lecco and Pavia, except for the Oltrepò Pavese area.”

That’s where our studio is, right inside a typical Lombard court, in the village of Bereguardo, in the area of the Ticino Park, just a few steps away from the Alzaia dei Navigli: a famous path very much appreciated by bikers, runners, and walkers.
The original walls of our house date back to the beginning of last century: they were probably part of a stable where travellers used to leave their horses while having some food at the local inn.
Our house was completely renewed. Works ended at the beginning of 2020 and we had the idea to furnish it following the 3 R philosophy: Recycle, Reuse, Reduce. So we recycled parts of the previous furniture, and reused old accessories, pallets, and everyday objects in order to reduce waste.
The studio is about 50 sq. mts large and it’s equipped with a kitchen, a living room with a double bed (or 2 single beds, if needed), a small laundry, and a bathroom with a shower. It’s an ideal accommodation for two people, but it’s possible to add an extra cot for a third person.
The place is really quiet and far from the main street, but still close to the historic center and a few steps away from shops, restaurants, bars, and facilities.
In the heart of the Ticino Park, “Un letto nel cortile” welcomes you for all your needs. Whether for a business trip, a vacation, or a stop on a long journey, you will always find a warm and cozy place. And if you’re walking along the Via Francisca del Lucomagno, you can stop here to rest and recover your energy for the journey, as we are part of the hospitality network.
Staying with us means having the possibility of choosing between the tranquility of nature and the convenience of a strategic starting point. The art cities of Milan, Pavia, Vigevano, and the monumental complex of the Certosa di Pavia are easily accessible, as well as the peace offered by the Ticino Park. Your serenity is our priority: we look forward to welcoming you…home!
