First we have only booked this hotel, because it is relatively close to the airport, but the town and its beauty have surprised and captivated us. The room was super clean and functional, the managers were super friendly and displayed genuine interest in their guest's and a simple morning walk in the town gives a fantastic peek-view into Italian everydays. We would certainly recommend it as a budget saver night before or after your flight from Malpensa and/or shopping tour in Milano, but also as a stand-alone little Italian mini-break destination, because the area (D'orta, Arona, etc) has so much to offer, its really a must see. Thanks
