Hotel Information

The Porro Pirelli has an exotic soul, as did Count Gian Pietro, the adventurous 18th-century explorer: it is he who inspired the hotel's extraordinary antique Oriental decor. Chinese furniture, Thai woodcarvings and Balinese marquetry are set against the rich Baroque backdrop of the hotel like echoes of the Far East.Location:Surrounded by a shady 18th-century park, the Boscolo Porro Pirelli Hotel comes slowly into view as you approach from an avenue flanked by majestic pines. An historic patrician villa that still exudes the splendour of the 18th century, the Porro Pirelli is just a few kilometres from Varese, Lake Maggiore and the Swiss border, and is also within easy reach of the new Milan trade fair facilities and Malpensa Airport. Area details:Whether strolling among the antique statuary and sculpted hedges of the Italian garden, walking beneath the antique coffered ceiling or ascending the grand staircase surmounted by the family coat of arms, at the Porro Pirelli you cannot but succumb to the fascination of a place suspended in time.Recreation: The Le Meridiane Restaurant, with its refined and delicate cuisine, is the ideal choice for lunch. When the Ristorante del Conte opens in the evening for dinner, the cuisine turns gourmet. The comfortable bar area is decorated with antique prints showing the city of Varese; it is the ideal place for snacks, pre-dinner drinks and cocktails.Rooms:64 rooms, 64 different experiences. At the Porro Pirelli, the antique Oriental furnishings in each room are absolutely unique: the writing desk, wardrobe and headboard are works of wooden marquetry from Indonesia, and the curtains are woven on wooden looms.
