Top Varese Hotel Reviews

Hotel Villa Malpensa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel minutes from the airport. Book it for night before or arrival. Either way you will end or begin the trip perfectly."

Hotel Osteria della Pista

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay here! Extremely friendly and helpful staff, beautiful, cozy hotel, with an excellent restaurant in the building. They also had the best breakfast spread we had our whole trip, and it was included with the room. The shuttle to the airport was also free and very helpful. The village is adorable and great for walking around and taking in the small town flavor."

Albergo Terminus Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"By chance I chose this property for my stay in Como. What a HUGE blessing! The staff was so helpful and kind and I truly loved the accents! The property is stunning and lures you in from the moment you pull into the drive with vines and architecture surrounding you. Enter thru a beautiful entry with a winding red carpet stairway that leads you to an enchanting room of old world charm and luxury. I wanted to drink coffee all day and read a book in this room. In fact every common area you wanted to spend time in like it was a hope of a royal family. We then entered our room! I was so very pleased and excited...I felt like royalty. So clean, very elegant and a view! The windows are adorned with beautiful curtains and wooded shutters to block the light from the windows that open out to the view of lake and courtyard of the city! This is worth every dime you spend to stay."

8/10 Good

"The hotel is going to mainly be used by travellers at MXP. It's location and the phiysical property is fine and extremely convinient (Right above the rental cars). For a hotel with mostly Americans, you need wash clothes in the bathrooms. Also, we arrived late (10 PM) and the restaurant closes at 11. We felt like we were bothering the staff although all we wanted was a couple of bowls of soup."
