Congress Centre Ville Ponti - Varese

The story of the Congress Centre Ville Ponti began in the 1960s, when the Varese Chamber of Commerce bought an elegant complex consisting of three historic dwellings. The Villa Andrea, Villa Napoleonica and Le Sellerie formerly belonged to the illustrious Ponti family of Milan, and the buildings dominate the city of Varese from their spectacular setting in 56,000 square metres of timeless parkland.
Displaying a variety of styles reflecting the different periods they date from, the Villas are surrounded by a beautiful setting of ancient trees and colourful flower beds. 
The redevelopment and planning initiatives that have transformed the complex into a multifunctional Congress Centre reflect a twofold aim - to enhance a fascinating historical location.
The elegant, refined setting is complemented by latest-generation congress technology, offering clients an all-round, quality service.
From catering services and hotel logistics to secretarial services, post-congress support, hospitality staff and the most advanced technology, the Ville Ponti package transforms three charming period villas into a modern, efficient Congress Centre.
Villa Andrea’s 10 rooms cover three floors. They are all equipped with cutting-edge conference technology and offer guests every comfort. The Salone Andrea on the second floor can accommodate up to 200 people. On the lower floors, the historic rooms of the Villa offer a seating capacity of between 20 and 120.
Called Villa Napoleonica after its architectural style, the external perimeter walls of the structure remain intact. An original wing of the building has also been conserved, complete with frescoes and period furniture.
Extensive restructuring initiatives designed to enhance the interior spaces through a design concept emphasising modernity and functionality have led to the creation of an elegant groundfloor auditorium. This space features a full range of conference equipment and can seat an audience of 400.
On the upper floors the outstanding package offered by this structure also include a large adaptable open space and 8 meeting rooms, each offering a different range of facilities.
