Our hostel in Milan
Welcome
The RMI Milan hostel, run by the Religious of Mary Immaculate, welcomes 85 girls aged 18 to 26 on a half-board basis from September to June. They may find themselves far from their families for their studies or their entry into the working world.
More than mere accommodation, our home offers a friendly family atmosphere conducive to studying in a Christian environment where the organisation and activities offered – which focuses on active participation and awareness of the common good – allows for responsibility, friendship and collaboration, through the involvement of everyone in the daily life of the community.
The sisters and associates collaborate in the integral development of each young woman, offering also the possibility of maturing in the Christian faith for those who wish.

Testimonials
It’s a welcoming and calm place, ideal for living during the time of study, and where there are always good moments of laughter and joy!
Thanks to the wonderful people who run it and breathe life into it, and to the atmosphere that is created with the other girls, the home immediately became a real “home” for me (and I still consider it “my home” in Milan even after 6 years).
I lived in this home for 5 years.
It’s a really welcoming place and it’s in a quiet neighbourhood.
The sisters are available and the girls are wonderful!
It is a place for study and concentration, but also for good times of laughter and sharing with others!
The nuns are caring and available!
Personally, the home has helped me to build healthy friendships and strong bonds that I never imagined!
The mutual respect and family atmosphere, as well as the kindness of the people who live there, make you feel at home: you never feel alone, because you always know there is someone you can count on!
I spent 2 years in this wonderful home where I immediately felt welcomed.
It is a place that exudes friendship and good humour and where you live a unique experience of sharing (of ideas, affection, smiles…).
The sisters (and the whole team at the hostel in general) are efficient and well organised and above all know how to be close and attentive when someone needs it.
The home is located in a very quiet area of Milan, in the middle of a large leafy space, with all the essential services nearby.
I had heard about this hostel through word of mouth, and even though I was quite hesitant about the idea of living with a lot of other girls, what I had heard about it was so positive that I decided to give it a try anyway… Here I am now at the end of my fifth year at the hostel and I already know that when I have to leave, apart from the thousand great memories I will take with me, what I will miss most of all will be the faces of all the people I met here and who populated and enlivened my student years. Meeting up for dinner with a few friends for breakfast, being able to chat with my roommate when I got back and sharing the important things in our lives together: these are the moments that quickly became the cardinal points of my days.
In fact, before I enrolled, my intention was to take a single room, but at the last moment I chose the double room, and since that moment I have not had any doubts (and I have renewed this choice every year) because the bond and complicity that was created with each of my “roommates” was something unique and it would have been a shame to miss. Another aspect that has always struck me is the ease with which one feels involved in this environment which becomes immediately familiar, so that it immediately comes naturally to participate and take initiatives in the life of the home.
All this is also thanks to the extraordinary welcome of all those who live here and in particular the sisters: in my life, I have met few people capable of dedicating themselves to their mission with such enthusiasm. Their joy in spending time with the girls and their ability to pass on their faith in a way that is always respectful and sincere is truly touching. My experience in this home tells me that sometimes you find much more than you would have hoped for.

Help at home
Through this place of listening, we bring together two needs that answer to each other: that of people (especially young women) who are looking for a dignified job as “family collaborators”, and that of families who need help at home, for cleaning, cooking, looking after the elderly or children (baby-sitting), etc.
We thus help:
– Families looking for:
- Domestic help, internal, external / part-time (cleaning, etc.)
- Home help for the elderly
- Baby-sitting / help for children (au pair, baby-sitter…)
- Attending medical appointments
– and young womenlooking for work in domestic services and home help.
