The oldest Italian foyer was opened in Corso Oporto 23 (which today is called Corso Matteotti) in 1894. It was originally home to cooking and sewing classes for housekeepers and its rooms once housed lone girls and women who were away from their families.
It was transferred during the year 1905 to Corso Vittorio Emanuele 82 where a lot of activities such as singing lessons and language courses took place. It moved to the current location, Elisa Schalck’s house, only in 1926. In the 50s some of its locals had been used as weaving workshops equipped with hand looms.
After some renovations, “Casa Nostra” was born, a project which assumes a more autonomous space management.

Today it’s also a Social Housing which hosts families in financial straits and lonely and abused women. In order to encourage people to meet and to highlight the differences, the foyer promotes dialogue between cultures hosting different people.

The foyer is as homey as a house and it’s also an excellent option for posted female workers, tourists and students. And furthermore it hosts and supports temporary homeless people thanks through social projects supported by our Onlus.

The rooms, single or double, are equipped with a washbasin, while shared bathroom and kitchen are located on the same floor.

Each floor has Wi-Fi.
