Inside Milan

A revealing glimpse into the homes of Milan’s foremost creative residents.

Internationally acclaimed interior designer and decorator Nicolo Castellini Baldissera comes from a celebrated Milanese family of architects and designers. Guido Taroni is a leading photographer specializing in fashion and interiors. Together, the two have curated rare access to remarkable private Milanese homes with their stunning new book Inside Milan.

 From palazzos to apartments, expect each turn of the page to reveal how Milanese aristocracy, business moguls, artists and fashion icons design their own private spaces. Not to name drop BUT…think Fornasetti, Etro and others- (note Veronica Etro’s home pictured above). Each chapter is devoted to a private residence you won’t want to miss.

Gaggenau Design Week event at Villa Necchi in Milan

It began with a glorious event at Villa Necchi Campiglio, a stately 1930’s villa that you may recognize from House of Gucci, 2021. This Art Deco home, which was one of the first in Milan to have a swimming pool and  tennis court, was built by the sister heiresses of the Necchi Campiglio sewing machine business, which was integral to the success of the Milan fashion industry.  Designed with a smoking room, library, and grand salon for serious parties, to this day accommodates SERIOUS parties like Gaggenau’s Design Week Event. Gaggenau tented the tennis court and created a party space the sisters would’ve been proud of, with architecturally chic kitchen installations, Michelin chefs, and magnificent food prepared right before our eyes.

My first trip to Milan left me with plans to return.  This energetic city oozes luxury, fashion, innovation, history, architecture, and aperitivos. The people are refined, elegant, confidently fashion forward.

The above image is of the Piazza del Duomo, with the Duomo in front and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele To the left. (More on that below) Because my time was limited in this beautiful city, this area was a priority on my short list, and it did not disappoint.

La Réserve Paris – Hotel and Spa

La Réserve Paris - Hotel and Spa, as seen on www.CourtneyPrice.com
Located at 42 Avenue Gabriel, La Réserve is set back from the Champs-Elysées in a peaceful, stately neighborhood of the 8th arrondissement. The grande red entrance beckons, promising a spoiling experience of Paris. There is no classic reception desk per se, but instead, every guest who arrives at 42 Avenue Gabriel is welcomed personally in the Salon Louis XV and taken to their suite to make sure that they feel at home immediately, just as one would do for a friend coming to visit at home.
La Réserve offers more suites than rooms, large spaces in re-interpreted classical style, all the codes of a certain way of life: [Read more…] about La Réserve Paris – Hotel and Spa
