Antica Locanda Leonardo is housed within a noble
building that dates back to the 1800's and it is
situated on the prestigious Corso Magenta, in
the heart of Milan's old quarter. The Hotel is
managed by the Frefel family who have nourished
a profound passion for the culture of
hospitality for over forty years.
The atmosphere within the hotel is very pleasant
and quite elegant: the furniture is extremely
detailed and characterised by a combination of
period furniture and modern comforts . In the
common rooms it is a pleasure to spend some time
in complete relaxation.
All of the rooms have been recently renovated,
maintaining their original characteristic
elements as much as possible, while being
equipped with all of most desirable comforts.
Each room is furnished according to a different
style, ranging from an authentic antique style
to a more classic style, without forgetting
modern aspects, while the walls are adorned with
works of art and prints by contemporary artists.
Overall, this hotel is unique in its genre, so
much so that it has gained the title of Boutique
Hotel.
Every morning you can sample a delicious sweet
and savoury buffet in the breakfast room, that
is transformed into a bar room in the evenings,
where guests can sip a cocktail or an aperitif.
During the warm season on the other hand, you
can take advantage of the gracious and
characteristic internal garden, in which you
will find thriving trees, fresh climbing plants
and scented flowers that accompany the flow of
the seasons.
Just a stone's throw from this elegant Milanese
hotel you will find the Church of Santa Maria
delle Grazie, built towards the end of the
1400's by Solari and Bramante. In the refectory
of the church, Leonardo da Vinci painted a
fresco called "The Last Supper", one of the most
famous works of art in history. Apart from “The
Last Supper”, around Antica Locanda Leonardo you
will also be able to admire the majestic
Castello Sforzesco and the Cathedral , and of
course a visit to the interesting “Leonardo da
Vinci” Science and Techniques museum, where some
of the Tuscan genius’ original drawings and
plans are housed. |
