Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
It is easy to reach all three Milan airports (Malpensa, Linate, Bergamo) and within an hour you can be in the Italian Alps. We are 20 minutes from the lovely Lago di Maggiore and one hour from Lago di Como. A direct train (5 minutes from the house) is the easiest and quickest way into central Milan for shopping, La Scala, Duomo and much more. High-speed trains from Milan connect you to Venice, Florence, Rome and Turin - all well worth a visit! The Italian Alps are an hour by car - wonderful hikes with spectacular views and great mountain food.
Il Poggio, a sport club offering a huge outdoor pool, is located in the hills behind the house (5 minutes by car). A favourite summer day out for us is at Il Larice, Monate - a wonderful lake for summer swimming and lots of fun with pedalos, kayaks, picnic/barbeque facilities and pizzeria.
