We needed a B&B for the night before an exceedingly early flight out of Milan. After a wonderful 10 days in Italy we didn't want to just crash at a chain hotel at the airport. Our host was incredible in her communication, helpfulness, and clarity. Though she doesn't speak English, her use of WhatsApp and a translation app made her communication flawless. She also has an assistant who is a delight and helps with translation. We were sent easy to follow guidance with photos on how to check ourselves in and get situated, and our host offered a reservation for dinner. The location is across from a beautiful waterway that has a waterfall canceling out any infrequent road noises. The room is charming, clean, and more than enough room for two adults and their luggage. We were delighted by the room already being prepared with desserts and everything we needed for breakfast. At dinner, we finally met our host and her assistant in person and found them even more charming and gracious. They have style for days. Dinner at the B&B was wonderful, all handmade and delicious, and apparently a local favorite. Our host also arranged a 4:30AM taxi for us to ease our departure. Only a 9 minute taxi to the airport it was hands and above staying at a big box hotel. Overall a stellar experience.

We were lodged on the second floor, and carrying our suitcases up the narrow stairs was a little precarious. If you have any mobility issues I would note that you'll need to navigate stairs to get to your room.

We can't wait to go back to this little slice of heaven. Marina, the owner, and her partner Monica have created one of the most beautiful inns right alongside a gorgeous rushing river. Take a stroll, enjoy bunnies in the nearby green fields, ducks and fish swimming alongside, and verdant luxurious foliage everywhere you look. Or nap LIKE A KING in the extremely comfortable beds with pillows so nice we looked them up online when we got home and bought them for ourselves! The inn itself is appointed with an eye for warmth and elegance, but the real warmth comes from the staff. TREAT YOURSELF TO DINNER. The food will be some of the best in your travels, and the keepers of the inn are two of the kindest most genuinely hospitaliano women I've ever met and I think Marina might secretly also be a fairy. You'll get that vibe when you meet her. Their chef must be Carmy from The Bear, with the attention to detail and LOVE put into the food. Fresh fish, caught from the river. I didn't want to ask about the rabbit or the duck but ya know what? WORTH IT. SO much elysian joy for such an affordable price. I hope we can come back soon. Also the dinner dog likes butt scritches but get down low first and let her sniff you - she gets startled around tall folks moving too fast.

This place offers a unique pleasure for a stay over at Malpensa Airport. It is in a 200 year old building complex amidst the country side, surrounded by the canal hiking/biking trail, and neighbor to a cute little historic town near by. The facilities are very nicely designed and carefully kept. The owner and all employees take pride and joy in what they do. The food is absolutely amazing. The room and the facilities overall were impeccably clean. My twelve year old enjoyed the nature walk, the high-end food, and got friendly with the cat and dog on site.

The host is fantastic, the atmosphere is great. You can feel how much love was involved to make and to maintain it. The restaurant is amazing, the food is excellent. This place is an ideal stop for dinner and a good sleep before an early flight from Malpensa which is so far from the city center. The hosts arranged an early Uber to the airport which is 6,5 km away.

The only thing is that you have to take a taxi for approx 25 eur to and from Malpensa so if you want to stay here for one night before early flight from Malpensa - add extra 50 Eur to a budget for return trip.

This stay was a perfect end to our two weeks in Italy. Flying in the morning from Milan and having to drop our rental car was made a breeze with only 9 minutes from the airport. Yet, the place is next to the Ticino Natural Park and we took advantage of endless walking paths along the river Ticino and into the woods with a gorgeous view of the Alps on the horizon. It is a real gem. The place is well maintained, quiet, and comfortable. Definitely worth recommending. Great communication with Marina.

Wow. All we were looking for was an alternative to the godless corporate shoeboxes that pass for hotels around the airport, and what we got was an exquisite getaway with superb food, tremendous comfort, and splendid scenery! The osteria/b&b was one of the heights of our trip. The staff were gracious, generous, and extremely helpful. The food rivaled the expensive places we'd eaten at in Milan and Rome, but was half the cost and served in a low-stress, peaceful atmosphere. The room was spacious, comfortable, and peaceful. The breakfast was extraordinary--so well-planned and beautifully appointed so that we could get up when we wanted and eat in peace while preparing for the airport. I'd expected the usual pre-packaged continental breakfast, but they'd come up with an ingenious and elegant way to give us fresh bread, fresh butter, pastry, fruit, yoghurt, juice, and good coffee. The view of the river was lovely--we had an epic sunset to watch. To say this place surpassed our expectations is an understatement--this is precisely the place we dream of to stay in throughout our entire vacation, and rarely find. Next time we use the Milan airport, we'll be sure to stay for more than one night.

Nothing--everything was great. We were even surprised by how rarely the airport noise was noticeable.

The location and staff were excellent. Staff went out of their way to help us. The included breakfast was the best that we've had. It was a short ride to the airport. It was also convenient to eat at the property as they serve dinner and the place was packed! The property has a lovely atmosphere and is across the street from a river. Just lovely!!

I was surprised that the rooms were up a steep set of stairs. It's something I overlooked when booking but the staff carried our luggage up/down the stairs for us. We managed fine since we were only there for one night. The room was pretty small but again, we made do since it was only for one night.

Marina was a delightfully charming hostess. We had a lovely room facing the river. Comfortable bed, great shower pressure; in room breakfast for fast getaway on the morning of departure. The highlight of our stay was the superb dinner in the restaurant; mostly local ingredients use, nice and fair priced wine list, and great conversation. ONLY 10 minutes from T1 at Malpensa, yet quiet!

For the price of room and dinner, there is nothing lacking (other than Marina's English language proficiency which she is working on.

My staying at the Osteria was amazing! I enjoyed it from minute one! As I arrived a little before the check in at 2:00 pm, Marina, the owner, kindly asked me to wait until it was time and I decided to have lunch while I waited. The food was astonishing! The restaurant was full with local and foreign customers who seemed to be delighted by what they were eating. Marina and Claudia, the nice and efficient girl who helps her, were always very diligent and ready to help at any time. The room was also fantastic! I slept like a log! What was a very nice surprise to me, is the marvelous place where the Osteria is located. It is absolutely gorgeous and literally 7 minutes away from Malpensa Airport so it is very practical to stay there if you have a flight at that airport. Also, the taxi service is great. I was a little nervous because I booked the taxi a little late for an international flight but Marina helped me out and called the taxi driver who arrived in perfect timing to not miss my flight back home. I fully recommend this place!!! I hope I'll have the chance to go back and enjoy everything that I was not able to see during my short staying. It really worths it!!! Do not miss the opportunity to know this fantastic Osteria. You wont regret it at all!!

The location is very close to the Airport yet feels like it is in the countryside opposite a river and looking out at the landscape. The hosts are excellent and the restaurant is strongly recommended. The food was some of the best we have had and despite being on the more expensive side was value for money and worth the experience. Easy to get to Lake Maggiore and Lake Como from here.

No toaster in the room for breakfast
