Villa Aurelia, an Exclusive Townhouse in Porta Venezia

Located on Via Maiocchi, in the heart of Porta Venezia, Villa Aurelia defies conventional definitions. It is not simply an apartment, nor a villa, nor a loft, but a rare Milanese townhouse that combines the privacy of a detached home with the cultured and cosmopolitan charm of one of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods.
Aurelia doesn’t ask to be viewed in a hurry. It asks to be experienced.
The name evokes an ideal place, a secret refuge where one can rediscover harmony and beauty far from the noise of the world. Once you cross the threshold, the city seems to disappear: natural light floods the rooms, the private garden opens up to the sky, and the rhythm of Milan gives way to a more intimate atmosphere.
The residence spans a total of 624 square meters: 501 square meters of living space spread over two floors, a private courtyard of 54.15 square meters, two terraces totaling 69 square meters, and a 45-square-meter loft. Rounding out the property are six bedrooms, wellness spaces, and areas dedicated to leisure.
The entrance serves as a space for unwinding. The mudroom introduces a different way of living: slower, more mindful, and more private. Stairs, views, and interior pathways create a sequence of full and empty spaces that makes Aurelia a home to be discovered gradually.
The living room is where the residence truly reveals itself: 115 square meters of light, space, and unexpected proportions. The floor-to-ceiling living room interacts with the suspended mezzanine, while the dining and relaxation areas create a spacious and fluid domestic setting—deeply Milanese yet far from the city’s noise.
The kitchen, over eight meters long, takes center stage. Textured surfaces, custom-made furnishings, and the design beneath the staircase transform it into a true architectural element, designed for cooking, entertaining, and fostering a sense of togetherness.
The bedrooms are conceived as self-contained worlds. Three single suites with private bathrooms and dedicated lofts offer independence and privacy, with spaces for sleeping, studying, reading, or simply finding one’s own rhythm. Rich color palettes, hexagonal geometries, black faucets, and textured surfaces give each bathroom a distinct identity within a cohesive design language.
The ground floor also houses the home’s most dynamic areas: a game room with ping-pong and foosball, a gaming corner, a fully equipped private gym, a laundry room, a guest bedroom, and restrooms. Leisure thus becomes part of daily life, without the need to leave home.
Lofts, double-height spaces, and interior views introduce a rare quality to urban living: not just surface area, but depth. The spaces expand without losing intimacy, creating suspended areas dedicated to reading, studying, and relaxation.
Outside, the private courtyard becomes an open-air living room, featuring social areas and more intimate nooks. A private green space that extends the home’s tranquility beyond its walls.
On the first floor, the master suite is set apart from the rest of the residence, creating a private sanctuary. The bedroom opens onto the balcony, while the custom walk-in closet interacts with the bed through wood paneling and integrated lighting. A discreet path leads to the private spa: light-colored marble, walk-in showers, a freestanding tub, a private sauna, and warm surfaces transform the bathroom into a daily ritual.
Aurelia is a home designed to welcome, never to show off. A place where architecture, light, privacy, and well-being coexist naturally.
A secret townhouse in the heart of Milan, where the city remains just beyond the threshold.
