Self storage in South Milan

Municipi 5 and 6 run from the Navigli canals to the balcony-access buildings near Porta Genova, on to converted warehouses towards Chiaravalle and the large housing estates of Gratosoglio. It's also the area where Smoves is based, at Viale Bligny 19A: courtyards, narrow streets and lift-less buildings are the everyday landscape around here.

Getting around this area

  • Area B

    Almost the whole area sits inside Area B, the city's largest low-traffic zone: pickups are organised around its hours and access points.

  • Balcony-access buildings

    Around the Navigli and Porta Genova, buildings with an outdoor gallery and a shared courtyard are common: a different route from a regular front door, not an obstacle.

  • Narrow Navigli streets

    The grid of streets around the Navigli is narrow and often one-way: the pickup accounts for where a van can actually stop.

  • Housing-estate buildings without a lift

    Towards Gratosoglio and Chiesa Rossa, 1960s-70s housing-estate buildings with small or missing lifts are common: mention it in the notes field of your quote request, so the information reaches whoever organises the pickup.

Who uses it in this area

  • A Bocconi student from out of town

    The academic year ends and the room needs to be cleared before heading home: your furniture and boxes wait with us until a new place turns up.

  • Moving house along the Navigli

    A three-room flat in a balcony-access building with little room to manoeuvre: doorstep pickup skips having to drive everything to a unit yourself.

  • Leaving a converted warehouse towards Chiaravalle

    An industrial space turned loft, with bulky furniture to move during a renovation: we clear the space and bring everything back once the work is done.
