Where we've been

Lakes, villages, castles, and a few afternoons in the city: single-day outings, with no complicated plans and in great company.

Lake Como

A day on the lake: the park in Tremezzo, the viewpoint at Vezio Castle, and lunch on a terrace overlooking the water.

How it went

It was my first chestnut hike and an experience I’d definitely repeat! A wonderful day spent among nature, chestnuts, great people, and a trattoria lunch.

— Alessia

A lovely hike to enjoy the mountains without rushing. Fantastic views and fresh air, reached with minimal effort—and topped off with a great lunch!

— Dario

My first outing with them: Tommaso is kind and attentive, and makes everyone feel at ease right away! Impossible not to have fun!

— Elisa

A beautiful autumn day… An easy walk for everyone, right through an autumn river of fallen leaves.

— Giovanni

The easiest way to meet us is the after-dinner

Every Friday at 9:30 pm, at a bar in Milan that changes from week to week. Come whenever you feel like it, with no subscription and no commitment.

  1. You arrive. We welcome you at the door and introduce you to everyone. Even if you come on your own, within a few minutes you're at the table with the others.
  2. We have a drink. We chat, get to know each other, everyone at their own pace.
  3. We play, if you feel like it. The evening is relaxed, and we suggest conversation starters and a few games.

Don't speak Italian? Both at the Friday after-dinner and on our day trips there are plenty of people who speak English too.
