Complimentary breakfast kick-starts both your metabolism and your day.

Hit all the local biggies, and keep your peepers open for Clooney sightings(!).

Nothing says ‘buongiorno’ like the smell of bacon at breakfast. (Worth springing for so you can get an early start on the day.)

Fans of the Alfa Romeo brand, rejoice. The museum is only about 3km away (!).

Set amid gardens, cosy rooms – a modern day, fashionable Hobbit would love it here.

Low-key home base near must-sees like Como Lake (of George Clooney fame) and Volandia Park and flight museum.

Breakfast starts at 4am so early flights don't equal hunger pangs.

Soothing style meets functional design in minimalist-chic guestrooms.

Nestled on the hills overlooking Lake Lugano and within walking distance of the centre.

Rooms are chock-full of boutiquey charm (but it’s the welcome chocolates that win the day).

Complimentary breakfast kick-starts both your metabolism and your day.

Super easy to get around: Linate Airport is 20 minutes away, the Sesto San Giovanni train station is a ten-minute walk and there’s a bus stop across the street.

Modest rooms have modern touches, like sleek decor and plenty of plugins.
