## About

WAO Isola occupies a historic 2,800 m² building set around two open-air courtyards in Milan's Isola district, with an in-house café that anchors its community-driven atmosphere. The space offers 170 open-plan desks, private offices for teams of 2 to 30, nine meeting rooms seating up to 30 people, and 14 phone booths — enough capacity for solo freelancers, scaling startups, and corporate events under one roof. Terraces, lockers, daily cleaning, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a staffed reception desk are all included. The building is fully pet friendly and has dedicated motorbike and bicycle parking. Fixed-desk members get 24/7 badge access; day desks start at €25 including VAT, booked entirely online, with a free 20-minute tour available before committing. Regular networking events and a café on site give the space a social texture that goes well beyond a place to open a laptop.
