La Raffa House in Arcore, open April–November.
La Raffa House stands apart as a working farm estate that marries authentic Lombard hospitality with contemporary luxury, offering couples an experience rooted in the region's agricultural heritage rather than standard resort formality.
Located in Arcore, just outside Milan, this venue provides direct access to 8 hectares of private grounds where ceremonies and receptions unfold against genuine countryside backdrops.
The property operates year-round with in-house accommodations, allowing multi-day celebrations without the logistics of external hotel coordination.
We (family with 2 adults, 2 kids and one dog) had a fantastic stay here in one of the apartments with an enclosed garden. Apartment is clean, fully equipped and the garden is fantastic with also a hammock. We have really come to rest. The owner and her daughter are super friendly and happy to help you with tips. The dog was also allowed to run loose everywhere so he could stay with us at the pool. There is also a forest on the property where you can walk the dog. A really great place, the pool feels like you're at a resort with plenty of places to relax even though there are a few other guests.
