“Charming hotel in quaint town, convenient to lakes, MXP airport, and Milan ”

After being canceled by a hotel closer to Malpensa airport the day before arrival, I had to scramble to find an alternative. So glad we stayed here!

After being canceled by a hotel closer to Malpensa airport the day before arrival, I had to scramble to find an alternative. So glad we stayed here! As mentioned in the description and reviews, this is a 15th century building, full of charm and history, not a modern conference hotel. We stayed in the Casanova suite, which is set on 4 separate tiers with stairs connecting - very unique! We enjoyed meeting Paolo, who shared the hotel and family history, and helped us arrange car service to MXP at 5:30AM - quite a feat during Milan Fashion Week. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the hotel and town.

“A Club I want to be part of.”

It is a unique blend of history with a modern twist. 12 rooms, each one of them with a character and unified by a leitmotif: good taste. Each room gives you space to work, relax, unwind, rest. The location is far from any traffic and close to Varese Lake. It offers the right level of tranquillity... lisää

It is a unique blend of history with a modern twist. 12 rooms, each one of them with a character and unified by a leitmotif: good taste. Each room gives you space to work, relax, unwind, rest. The location is far from any traffic and close to Varese Lake. It offers the right level of tranquillity without being too far removed from the rest of the world: Varese is not far and Malpensa Airport is easy within reach. Bathrooms are all newly renovated with modern fittings, but without losing the "classic" feeling. Beds are really comfortable and if you are in need of a sound night of sleep, well this is the place. Bed linen is of the best quality. Breakfast is intimate and it has a true "family feeling". It is served to you with a smile, rather than the copious all you can eat buffets offered by large chains. And the welcoming smile at the breakfast room makes up for anything you may be used to, but that you really don't need. Toasted bread with jams, croissants, yogurts... And all varieties of coffees . But with a heart And this place has a legacy. Family owned for generations it was an intellectual circle where topics like politics, literature, fashion were on the agenda of the intelligenza frequenting the "mai intees" club. Ah.. I was forgetting .. "Mai Intees" is the local dialect for "never agreeing". And it gives you the idea of the variety of ideologies and beliefs who met there to openly discuss, but never argue It could be the perfect place to hold a summit... Not to miss.

“A unique hotel”

We booked three nights at this very different and unique family owned hotel in Azzate, which is very near to Lake Varese. A 15th century family owned and run hotel, set with it's own courtyard and enclosed garden, parking too. Our room had a high wooden ceiling, lovely old pieces of furniture... lisää

We booked three nights at this very different and unique family owned hotel in Azzate, which is very near to Lake Varese. A 15th century family owned and run hotel, set with it's own courtyard and enclosed garden, parking too. Our room had a high wooden ceiling, lovely old pieces of furniture and the highest quality bed linen, with air conditioning too. The hotel is a cornucopia of interesting and historical items, all set to a back drop of relaxing jazz music. We decided to eat in the courtyard two nights and were served beautifully cooked Italian food by Paulo (not be missed). A very simple croissant and boiled egg breakfast in the morning. ' If you like 'Escape to the Chateau' then you will thoroughly enjoy this experience - if you prefer a corporate bland hotel, then maybe not for you.
