Villa Giovanna

At the suggestion of a friend I stayed at this hotel to go to Milan to see the inauguration of the Winter Olympic Games without suffering the astronomical price increases and the increased city tax. A convenient regional train took me from Somma to Milano Porta Garibaldi in 40 minutes. The treatment is good; quiet area and possibility of lunch and dinner in the hotel Tre Leoni of the same manager, near the train station.

I returned to this property mindful of the previous stay. I can only confirm my positive opinion. The price is very competitive with other hotels in the area. Staff courteous and helpful. There are also boxes for the car. A good base for those who have to take the flight to Malpensa or visit the area of Gallaratese and Lake Maggiore. They take you to the airport by hotel bus and pick you up on the way back. The only drawback is the reception which is located in the hotel Tre Leoni about two hundred meters but it is a ten minute walk.

Not impressed at all Stayed for one night whilst waited for early morning flight Check in separate to the villa itself - what a pain in the neck at 2am Bedrooms were in desperate need of gutting Smelled of smoke Noises from next door all night kept us awake - no phones in room to phone other place to complain Bathroom light was knackered Bed covers- wouldn’t let a dog sleep on them Came home with bites all over even though slept fully dressed No snack machine but has hot vending drinks machine Free shuttle- was 30 minutes waiting in cold with the kids and on return in morning was 40 minutes late It’s like a tatty hostel- not impressed at all- didn’t expect luxury but didn’t expect this. Won’t be returning .
