Cascina Cesarina Country House

Who stays here?

Our international guests usually come for the famous Lake Maggiore sights: Isola Bella and the other Borromeo Islands, the Rocca di Angera castle, and unique Orta San Giulio on Lake Orta, but also for enogastronomic treats - wine routes and Michelin-starred restaurants, or local markets and cheese boutiques. Designer outlets and a day's shopping in Milan (or visiting exhibitions and seeing the sights without having to overnight in a crowded and overpriced city) are also popular choices. Families love the informal atmosphere, the fact we adapt menus and mealtimes to individual requirements - we are also certified for gluten-free cooking for coeliacs. Trekking and cycling enthusiasts also love our quiet, wooded surroundings with hills and mountains (including a Giro d'Italia classic uphill feature) for daily expeditions. Business travellers for Milan Fairs love our personal touch, excellent prices and healthy home-cooked food and that they can reach the new fair site in less time than it takes from some central Milan hotels, as it is motorway all the way. Solo travellers like our friendly family atmosphere and the chance to really relax. Couples enjoy long, lazy weekends in total privacy but with lots of lively bars, restaurants and discos within easy reach if they want them.
