Property Description
Colonne Hotel Restaurant, a name that evokes memories. A story that began at the end of the XIX century by Pietro Bianchi, the first to decide to undertake this adventure at the Sacromonte of Varese. Here is the site chosen for Colonne: a seventeenth century House, a red marble entrance hall, four massive columns from the Lazaretto of Milan. The house is located in front of the statute of Moses, which marks the end of the pedestrian path to 14 chapels. The location is rich in history. In 1909, the arrival of the funicular created an influx of pilgrims that moved from across the country to Sacromonte of Varease. Thus, they decided to move the seat, keeping the same name that already enjoyed a good reputation. In 1921 the Colonne Hotel Restaurant reopened in its new location, which was run by the Bianchi family until 1968. They closed its doors in the late '70s after it was outsourced to third parties. After nearly twenty years, architect Ettore Mocchetti was entrusted with the task of restoring the house to its former glory. After a five-year restoration, the house reopened in 1994 to the glowing reviews of clients, the press and city authorities. The house has been treated in detail and you can still find a large tiled stove from the first half of the nineteenth century, a large fresco, a replica of the eighteenth century, prints and paintings, antique furniture and antique woodwork. Additionally, all rooms have a decor designed to accommodate the customer with the best comfort as possible. The facility’s operations were gradually restored, beginning with the the cafeteria, the restaurant, and with the hard work of over one hundred people, they achieved the grand result: a hotel with ten rooms. A new chapter has begun in the history of the hotel. "Welcome to my home!", Chef Silvio Battistonis says as he greets his guests. His passion for cooking and desire to create a place where guests would experience unique moments, are at the heart of Colonne Hotel Restaurant. Hotel. Fine care for relaxation. Restaurant. An elegant balance of past and present. Bistrot. Dine or sip a cup of tea on the terrace and enjoy the expansive view. The perfect recipe for a delicious experience. Colonne Hotel Restaurant
