"LA LOCANDA DELL'ANGELO" HOTEL
OUR HISTORY
We would like to tell you the story behind the Hotel “Locanda dell’Angelo”: its date
of birth, why it was built and how the meeting between two ingenious and creative
minds gave life to this “big house”.
Before welcoming you in, we would like to explain to you the reason why right here,
at the Hotel “Locanda dell’Angelo”, time has come to a halt or, better, why we
wanted time to stop here.
A famous, in fact an incredibly famous Italian architect turned the morphology of
this territory into his inspiring muse: the Apuan Alps that, after having reflected
themselves in the bed of the Magra river, embrace the sea.
A territory where unique landscape scenarios are combined with different shapes,
colours and flavours, being the result of the fusion of two beautiful regions: Liguria
and Tuscany.
In the same way our lands meet one another to give birth to such a natural display,
hereby two great masters once met: Angelo Paracucchi – a creative gastronomic
genius – and Vico Magistretti – a visionary architect precursor of the famous house
“Artemide”, later transformed into “Kartell”.
The project of the Hotel “La Locanda dell’Angelo” started in 1971, at a time when
Magistretti, whilst observing the Marinella plain, surely wasn’t imagining to build any
building that would disharmonize this “scenario” but was planning instead to put a
big roof on top of a “big house”.
Just like this: his creative and artistic inspiration consisted in drawing a minimalist
and elegant accommodation so that guests would lull themselves into the culinary
creations of the great Chef Angelo Paracucchi.
The shapes of Magistretti’s architectural style and the gastronomic interpretation of
the flavours of the master Paracucchi were meant to accompany the guests by the
hand through emotions, sensations, and memorable memories.
Plunging into the twinkle of the marble pool and looking up towards the Apuan Alps,
one cannot help but noticing how all the natural elements that frame the Hotel “La
Locanda” fit together perfectly, like in a big mosaic, evoking the creative energy that
unites forms with flavours.
To this date the Hotel “La Locanda” jealously preserves its own strong architectural
character. However, this wasn’t a casual will as all changes have been applied
leaving the style and principles told and translated into design by Vico unchanged.
We surely wanted to contemporise this Hotel through modernization and
those comforts requested by the market’s new trends, always trying not to affect
Magistretti’s personality.
The common spaces and rooms are still imbued with the original design expressed
by sofas, tables, lamps, beds, armchairs, and other furnishing components.
Every corner of the Hotel “La Locanda dell’Angelo” bears an object, a detail or that
“something” that deserves a careful look and overview.
We’ve tried to stop time here: from the main entrance you’ll grasp the feeling of
having arrived at a “big house” with a non-conventional unique style, surrounded by
a green park, with white square English windows and low seating typical of tea
rooms, deliberately suffused lights underneath a “roof” that cuddles and makes the
guest feel at home and not in a hotel.
OUR ACCOMODATION
The hotel “La Locanda dell’Angelo” is a beautiful venue on the border between
Tuscany and Liguria, a hotel that is both modern and traditional, only 3 min. away
by car from the seaside resorts of Fiumaretta and Marinella of Sarzana.
Besides, it is just 3 km away from the historical town of Luni and the Gulf of the
Poets, 13 km away from Lerici’s Castle and also close to the Cinque Terre, which
are easy to get to by car, train or ferry.
This hotel consists of 31 lodgings, among rooms and suites: wonderful spaces
suitable for the most diverse types of travelers.
The hotel’s furniture embraces evergreen classics though it’s been completed by
works of art of contemporary artists: such contrast and alliance create a
comfortable and cozy atmosphere all around.
The kitchen, overlooking a green garden, is a wonderful space realized just to
enhance the chef’s creativity and satisfy the most demanding tastes. The inspiring
principle is that of a home where no two environments are identical.
This charming accommodation attracts a variety of visitors, going from the
traditional tourist in search of sunny beaches to the explorer type who enjoys the
countryside with its peace and quiet.The strong architectural character is here to
stay, those changes have been applied while keeping the original style and the
principle that Vico Magistretti wanted to express are visible and tangible to this
date.
We wanted to contemporize the whole accommodation according to today’s
market, not at all affecting the personality of “Magistretti”; you will still find design
pieces, such as lamps, left deliberately intact just like bathroom fixtures and taps
and fittings.
Time has undoubtedly made improvements and upgrades necessary for the
wellbeing of our Guests: by entering the main gate you will immediately perceive a
wholly peculiar style that stands out completely from the usual.
This big house is renowned for its services, such as the restaurant, that have
always attracted a sought-after clientele from every corner in the world, a clientele
that here, at the hotel "Locanda dell'Angelo" rediscovers a mix of both traditional
and modern elements within an extraordinary, beautiful context.
All the premises, dating back to the ‘70s, preserve the poetic dialogue that the
designer was able to establish between the white “Apuane Alps” and the nearby
sea: to this date it’s an important hot spot for local and national tourism.
The swimming pool inclusive of a Jacuzzi, whose white marble basin recalls the
vestiges of the shining “Portus Lunae”, is surrounded by olive trees and secular olm
oaks marking our time at the hotel "La Locanda dell'Angelo", a timeless place that
gives away emotions and unforgettable moments.
In fact, here you can celebrate important events: communions, confirmations,
weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, stag/hen parties and all those special
occasions in our lives.
