Certosa di Pavia Holidays from £702

This is a fine option if you just want a barebones room to crash in while visiting Milan. The staff is very nice and professional. Our room for 3 was quite small and the outside wall was baffingly banged up and dirty. The rest of the room was fine - the bathroom was nicely updated which clashed with the rest of worn-down room. Location is very good within a short walk of Crocetta station. Another plus is the fact that within a few steps is an amazingly good and reasonably-priced restaurant, Razdora. If you stay at Crivi's you need to go eat at Razdora - tell chef Matteo that Mathieu from Canada sent you (seriously, just go!)

Had a good experience staying at this hotel. The staff were great, breakfast was good and the room was comfortable. Only thing I would change is the pillows offered, they were quite uncomfortable. Other than that, it was pretty good.

We really enjoyed our stay at Magna Pars. The room was clean an bright and had a lovely feel to it. The perfume smell in the room was pleasant and not overpowering. Staff are friendly and efficient. Although the location is not central Milan, we actually preferred that as it is quiet yet close to a Metro line than links you easily and quickly to the main sights of Milan. It is also walking distance to the Navigli area of Milan which has plenty of restaurants and bars. We would stay here again next time we are in Milan.

Don’t normally do reviews but this one deserves one! Lots to do and the whole resort is clean and tidy. The pools were great especially the adult relax pool. The views of the surrounding mountains are breathtaking and can be seen from your room, to eating in the restaurants and to swimming in the pool. The staff were all great and were always helpful and did things with a smile and often went above and beyond what was expected. It was my wife’s 30th birthday while we were there and without asking she was given a birthday dessert, Prosecco and limoncello shots. All on the house! They also went to the effort of buying a ‘30’ balloon as a surprise and left it in the room on her birthday. Only downside is how far it is from Malpensa airport. It can be €300 one way in a taxi so it’s cheaper to hire a car which we did. However the effort it took to get there was well worth it! Would definitely recommend!
