Nestled in the greenery of the Parco Nord in Milan, Grand Hotel Villa Torretta Milan Sesto is a 500-year-old prestigious residence that once belonged to the wealthiest and noblest families of Milan.

Today, the villa still reflects the spirit and atmosphere of bygone times.

The hotel is conveniently located just a 15-minute drive from the city centre and is close to the Linate and Malpensa Airports and Milan Central Railway Station, offering seamless access to major business, sport and entertainment venues, including the Milano Congressi convention centre and the San Siro stadium.

Each of the property’s recently refurbished 77 guest rooms, including seven suites, is elegantly designed with its own unique style and flair, brilliantly combining historic charm with modern comfort.

The hotel also boasts a new fitness centre.
