The most beautiful Autogrill in Italy
Villoresi Est
An icon for all travellers
With its unique, 30 metre “volcano” that lights up red every evening, Villoresi Est on the A8 Milano-Laghi is one of our most iconic buildings.
Designed by architect Giulio Ceppi and opened in 2013, the project centres on sustainability, with everything built to energy efficiency standards and other eco-friendly criteria.
What to do
In these ample spaces you’ll find a market full of desirable goods, a Motta bar/restaurant, Spizzico pizzas, a La Fucina restaurant, a Snack Bar and a meeting room on the upper floor. Villoresi Est has all the essentials for what we believe is the ideal stop-off!

Environmentally outstanding as well
ENERGY SAVING
1,200 m² of piping coil across the entire vaulted ceiling and plunge to a depth of 25 metres below ground by means of 420 geothermal probes to remove or deliver heat according to the season.
This system reduces CO₂ emissions by 59% and electricity consumption by 45% compared to a normal building.
The building is also able to collect rain water and ground water for air conditioning, irrigation of green areas, toilets and fire-fighting.
Its high energy efficiency delivers savings of 30% (25,550 m3 a year) compared to a normal building, which is equal to the average domestic consumption of 128 families.
MATERIALS
The interior structure is made entirely of PEFC certified glulam from sustainably managed forests. All the other construction materials are eco-compatible and recyclable, from the flooring asphalt to the roofing.
