    Tips

    The castle of Peschiera Borromeo is the oldest Borromeo possession in Lombardy.

    It is actually an agricultural building which was renovated and fortified at the beginning of the 15th century.

    Over the centuries there have been successive owners and changes and transformations.

    However, the current appearance is substantially the one desired, in the second half of the sixteenth century, by the then owner Renato Borromeo.

    Today, on the outskirts of Milan and a few minutes from Linate airport, the castle is still surrounded by greenery and, now a very rare fact, the moat surrounding the castle is still full of water.

    The centuries-old plants of the walled garden, the courtyard, the frescoed rooms contribute to creating a unique atmosphere for those who also appreciate the privacy guaranteed by the particularities of the place.
