B&B and Flats Antica Corte Milanese

We was deciding to go to the area around Milan for this summer, and we have no idea of where to stay so we start looking at the internet. With a lot of other offers we decided to go for Antica Corte Milanese, and what a god decision! We where arriving from the Malpensa airport by car, and if we where following the description for the driving we have no problems to find the place. When we was arriving, we was parking in this big courtyard and we where meet with friendliness and and good service! When entering the flat we find it to be in a rustic Italian style and offer what we have expected, with refridgerator, micro oven, cooking place with gas and a bathroom with a shover cabinet and toilet. Our children was very happy too play out in the courtyard with the children of the owners and other other visitors. When we want to buy some food, the supermarket was only 20 meters away, and if we want takeaway or to go to a resturant, we could find a lot of possible places too go only minutes away. If we want to go to Milan or some other place, the trainstation was about 5 minutes away, and it took about 15 minutes to the centro of Milan. This was also a perfect starting point for a trip up to the great lakes to. But the thing we will remember best is there friendliness and good service Kaare from Norway

Milano is a busy city with lots of people and much to see. But at the and of a busy tourist day it is very nice to rest somewhere quiet. Such a place is "antica corte milanese". If you come by car you better have a navigationsystem. But once you are in front of the big wooden gate, it will open and you can park your car easy and safe with all your belongings in the big courtyard inside. . They clean the rooms every other day and help you very friendly with everything. Beds are not soft and the bathrooms clean and well equiped. Garbage is seperated and the roof is covered with solarpanels. Our 2 year old boy could play safely in the courtyard and many times with one of the owners children. There is nothing to criticize except maybe moscitonets in front of the bedroomwindow would be good. Another highlight is the trainstation nearby (that you don't hear at night, 5 minutes walk). For 1,50 euro you can get every 30 minutes on a train to the center of Milano (15 minutes trainride). No need to take the car (horror). Trainriding is cheap in Italy. I went to the oldtimer rallye in Brescia for 4,10 euro, 1hour 15 minutes away from Milano. Even at rushhour we found a seat every time. No problem with the baby-carriage. We went also to Como by train. Cheap, fast and comfortable. Next to the entrance of "antica corte milanese" you'll find a supermarket with all you need for your own cooking or breakfast. Very good fruits, vegetables and fine cheese. In the other direction the street is closed for traffic and you'll find one of the best icecream shops ever with reasonable prices and a very good pizzeria and many shops and bars for the locals. Nice to be without tourists everywhere. We were there for a conference and extented the stay to a week and didn't regret it. May 2011. Mika Väisänen Sweden
