La Presentazione
La Presentazione Hall of Residence in Como is an elegant 19th-century historical residence dedicated to welcoming girls in difficulty. Since 2016, after restoration and recovery work by Politecnico di Milano, it has become a university hall of residence. The rooms overlook a beautiful internal cloister, where there is a garden with ornamental plants and an ancient well. The building offers single and double rooms with kitchens on each floor and two-person bright attic flats.
On the ground floor are the communal areas, including a study room. The building is occupied by Italian and international students enrolled at Politecnico and from various educational institutions in the Como area. Although most guests attend University or an academy in Como, rooms are also booked by Polimi students attending the Bovisa campus in Milan, who prefer to live in Como. The residence is a 50-minute train ride from the Bovisa campus.
Flats are available for professors, researchers and visiting PhDs, booked through the Politecnico dedicated offices.

Curiosity
The house was built in the ‘700. It hides an astonishing inner cloister, which can be seen from all the windows of the rooms. A marvelous laurel tree row and a vase hiding an ancient spring well decorate the cloister. Finally an old and little church has seen light again, with its fine canvas and glass windows. The “little church” will be used for conventions and social events.
