We selected this hotel as the last stopover on our way back from Nice to Germany to pamper ourselves one last time before our vacation ends. The building is just lovely - it's really like staying in a castle of medieval times. Our room had a high ceiling, large wooden bed and other interior which looked like it has been build hundreds of years ago (and probably was). Fortunately the bathroom was more modern although I'v never seen shower appliances like this before. They looked like taken out of Nemo's Nautilus and thus didn't work properly (which, however, was not a big problem). They have a wonderful lounge area and inner patio all with flowers and old furniture and a smell of antiqueness around it. It could have been a great place to stay - if it weren't for the current owners...

This place definitely deserves better. We got the impression that the current owners (apparantly family-owned) are not really interested in running a hotel. Upon arrival they were more or less suprised that guests showed up although we booked via Booking. We seemed to be the only guests on a Friday night in high season! The welcoming was cool and distant and we were asked if we're planning to stay out late tonight since someone would have to stay awake for us to return. The only other girl working there seems to be afraid of foreigners and looked very unpleased and sometimes bored. Breakfast is a joke consisting of a cup of coffee, toasted pieces of baguette (from the previous day) and some packed jam. I don't know how they got their 4 star rating but to us this isn't comprehensible. Apparently the son of the family is a good chef who serves pricey dishes in a restaurant section of the hotel. However, the entire athmosphere was so strange that we decided to find a pizza place nearby.

Room tip: Better don't stay at this hotel

saw five hotels this summer and this was by far my favorite.

The moment i arrived and was greeted by the owner Paolo and heard sweet jazz tunes playing in the background i knew i was gonna like this place.
Do not expect a perfectly managed and groomed place,it's got more of an old world family run charm.

Room was large and had that same old world charm,like time stood still.But things like the new bathroom and aircon give you all the modernity you need.

The only one who speaks English is Paolo,his staff and lovely mother do not.
Again something i personally liked.His mother explained our options for dinner in Italian and we managed to get everything sorted perfectly.

favorite moment was sitting in the garden with a cold drink and Paolo picking Courgette flowers from his garden en frying them for us[best thing i ate all summer]

Very much recommended if you like old world Italian charm ,we arrived here coming from a 5 star Hilton in Rome,and it felt like a breath of fresh air.

I will certainly try to return for a few days.

This place is old and beautiful, and its worth to sit in the reception and just look around.
The rooms are from another era, however the bathrooms are modern and comfortable. The corridors are cool and chilly, the rooms however are nice and warm during the winter.
The breakfast area is cosy and good, and so is the cappuccino, toast and fruits.
When coming with a car, be careful: The entry is quite narrow.j

The hotel is in a very old building, family-run, with peculiar furniture. It is a fortune that there still are people dedicating their time to keep such historical heritage. It must have its costs. Very quiet, spaciuos comfortable cosy rooms. Our was on three levels. The location is nice too, with a beautiful view reaching from the Varese lake to the Monte Rosa in the background. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had dinner in the veranda, in front of a fire. The food was good and so was the wine, which the owner recommended to us. While the price for the night was OK, the food was not cheap though. Probably we paid for the nice atmosphere in the veranda... OK, understandable. While the breakfast was fine for us (italians happy with a coffee and bread with jam and butter), I can imagine that the quantity and choice we had might not satisfy many. I think in that case one should just ask for more. All in all a very nice experience.

This hotel/B&B feels like staying at your grandmothers - both good and bad. The room we had was sizable with a patio. The furniture was on the worn side but might classify as antiques to some of you. The room was clean but not spotless.
The hotel has a restaurant that was expensive and we did not try it as we were not set on a big meal. We did sample some of its food by the bar and thought that for the quality it was overpriced. The cat that wouldn't stop pestering us might be charming to some but was bothersome. I would not return if I can find a better alternative for when I fly out of Milan.
