Location
Hotel Piola 2 stars in Milan is located in a strategic area of the city, easily reached from the Central Station by bus and the subway, which stops a few hundred meters (yards) away from the hotel.
Our hotel is in the Student City area of Milan, just 10 minutes away from Corso Buenos Aires - one of the city's main shopping boulevards - and from the historical city center, branching out from splendid Piazza del Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele.
The center of Milano offers a rich heritage of art and culture. Must-see tours include the Sforza Castle, Leonardo's Last Supper inside the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, and the art works at Galleria Brera and the Triennale, which hosts a large collection of design pieces and modern art.

Hotel Piola is easy to reach by car - in fact, it is only 3 km past the ‘Lambrate’ exit off the Tangenziale Est bypass, which directly connects to all the highways – and it is also a good starting point for Lake Maggiore, Lake Como and Lake Garda, splendid destinations that can also be reached by train.
