Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 21 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Château Monfort - Relais & Châteaux is highly recommended for lovers of whimsical interiors who prefer a quiet residential base. The property features early-20th-century Liberty architecture and opera-themed guest rooms. It also houses a subterranean spa with an indoor pool. However, the theatrical themed decor might not appeal to everyone, and the spa does not admit children under 15.
Guests score it 9.1 out of 10 — the average across the 13 hotels we list in Milan is 9.1.
- Each room is individually styled after classic ballets and operas, featuring parquet floors, custom headboards, and subtle design touches that avoid feeling dated.
- Housed in a beautifully restored Art Nouveau palace, the hotel retains original features like stained glass and decorative plasterwork, blending historic character with modern comforts.
- While designed with contemporary flair, the fantasy-inspired design language and pastel palettes might not appeal to travelers who prefer minimalist or traditional styling.
- For safety reasons the Amore e Psiche spa does not admit children under 15, so families with younger children will need to take turns using it.
