Spaces and Capacity

Truly unique and strategically located just a few minutes from Milan Malpensa Airport—easily accessible from Milan, Turin, Varese, Lake Maggiore, and Switzerland—Borgo San Cristoforo 1472 hosts exclusive events in total privacy. It welcomes guests into wide, diverse spaces immersed in nature and connected by beautiful covered walkways.

Spanning a 10,000 sqm total green area, it features 2 vineyard areas for ceremonies, aperitifs, and dinners among the vines, accommodating up to 200 guests with either round tables or a single imperial table. It offers a Tuscan/French landscape just a stone’s throw from Milan. From April to October, the vineyards are the venue’s highlight, framed by nurseries with over 1,000 perimeter plants for a true “total green dream.”

Bordering the vineyards is a grove of birch and oak trees housing the romantic “Sala dei Cavalieri” (Knights’ Hall). This medieval-style structure of nearly 300 sqm features a chestnut wood palisade encircling giant stones that once served as an altar for knighting ceremonies. Wedding ceremonies held here carry a sense of sacredness, history, and distinctive originality.

The Green Area, perfect for welcoming aperitifs, features a spacious Open Air Greenhouse, an area dedicated to blueberry cultivation and fragrant herbs, and the Eco Vegetable Spa Suite—a charming Spa set within a restored barn, where live musicians entertain guests comfortably seated beneath cool mulberry trees acting as natural umbrellas (the only venue requiring no artificial umbrellas for the aperitif!).

Another visually striking space for welcoming guests is the elegant black-bottom Swimming Pool, created from the original watering trough, framed by Robinia wood decking and surrounded by a vast, exquisitely manicured lawn.

Crossing romantic hornbeam avenues leads to the Convivium del Forestiero, whose halls accommodate up to 250 guests in a single setting. With fully openable walls on three sides, it offers the feeling of dining immersed in nature while remaining completely sheltered.

Another matchless space is the Stallaggio (the former animal stables): a space restored in a post-industrial style, ideal for organizing highly diverse, creative events or providing the perfect late-night finale. It features a spacious, fully equipped Dance Hall with a stage, a Bar Drink Therapy Room, and a real grass Green Privè where guests can dance barefoot during the dessert buffet and open bar. It also offers a covered outdoor lounge area of over 300 sqm for smokers. The 600 sqm Stallaggio—along with its 260 sqm mezzanine privè and 300 sqm covered outdoor space—is modular with movable walls to host events ranging from 20 to 400 guests.

Services Offered

Couples and guests can explore many other features when visiting Borgo San Cristoforo 1472: a private Bridal Suite for outfit changes, a Lily Pond with water lilies and aquatic plants, and hornbeam-tunneled pathways leading to the jewel of the estate: the Church of San Cristoforo, patron saint of travelers. The estate was managed by priests until 60 years ago, when the current owners acquired it from the Vatican.

Couples and event agencies receive direct guidance from the highly experienced owners in selecting qualified vendors and professionals to tailor the ideal setup for their event. Among the venue’s distinctive services: a Plan B identical in quality to Plan A, 11 restrooms, no late-night time limits for event end times, and helicopter transfer access.
