I really enjoyed my stay at Casina Ceserina over the Summer, the house is beautiful, cosy and has a wonderful home-like feel. The host, Lorraine is very friendly and pointed out some fun things to visit in the area. I particularly enjoyed the train trip through the mountains to Locarno, Switzerland which ended with a wonderful three hour boat ride... More

Thank you for your very positive feedback. I am glad you enjoyed your time with us, and that my tip to go for the Lago Maggiore Express tour of the lake by scenic railway and boat has created a lasting memory - great for photography enthusiasts such as yourself, too. We hope you will return in future - you could... More

Norwegian family with 3 kids stayed for 3 nights in August. The kids enjoyed the pool, table tennis and the dogs, and they are still talking about Lorraines pasta! The food was great, and we all enjoyed the proximity to Laggio Maggiore. We really appreciated the meals together with the family, and would like to visit the place again! More

Thank you for your kind words. We love having friendly and lively families such as yourselves to stay, and it is nice that you enjoyed all the facilities to the full: pool and swing, ping pong and basket ball hoop, and that the children enjoyed playing with the dogs and cats, who always appreciate younger visitors! Hope to see you... More

After some difficulty locating the house tucked away under an archway we were delighted to discover this enchanting family friendly B&B. Lorraine, Franco and Matteo were charming and generous hosts and our girls age 5 and 3 immediately fell in love with the dogs, cats and garden. In fact we had to drag them away to explore the stunning Lake... More

So glad you enjoyed your stay - and the weather proved you made a great choice - the summer season is getting longer and longer, and you really enjoyed seeing the Lakes with all the sunshine but less of the crowds! We loved having you too, and your children were really delightful. Apologies for the animals - they are always... More

We stayed here for 10 days and loved it! We had some delicious home grown food made by Lorraine (the host) and also enjoyed trips to local pizzeria's and ice cream parlours. Great location to visit the beautiful island of Orta, and also close (driving) to Milan and Lake Maggoire. Overall perfect holiday, made special by the hosts and house.... More

Thanks for your kind words. We're always pleased to give advice on local eateries as well as unmissable sights, and happy when our home-grown organic fruit and vegetables are appreciated. The last few days have been less manic than August, and we have been able to dedicate time to preparing delicious fig and chocolate jam, as well as melanzane alla... More

Cascina Cesarina is conveniently located less than 30 mins from Milan Malpensa airport. I really did not expect how pretty it would be, its got a very rustic feel to it and the minute you get there its impossible not to relax. The house itsself is great, with a large kitchen and 2 floors of bedrooms with balconies, but its... More

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. This year, in addition to our 'standard' tourist, here to visit the Italian Lakes (and enjoy some sunshine and good food), we have noticed an increase in British guests whose primary objective is 'chilling', enjoying everything Cascina Cesarina has to offer, interspersed with trips to the Borromeo Islands and the rest of Lake Maggiore,...

We stayed for a few nights at Cascina Cesarina and loved every minute of it. Lorraine and Franco, the owners, are so friendly and welcoming. Our room was an excellent size and very clean with tea and coffee facilities and a TV. We ate there one evening and had three fabulous courses with very authentic italian food. All of the... More

I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us - and that our food went down so well. After years of people thinking we were a bit mad to be so keen on organic food and growing as much of our own food as possible, and buying the rest from local producers, it is nice to see that we were... More

There are many things about this wonderful authentic B&B that make it special but the one element that really made CASCINA CESARINA stand out for me were the hosts. And the food. Also, the fact that I think I might have actually discovered shangri la and it's in Italy. A genuine family run business, you feel more welcomed than if... More

My husband & I stayed at Cascina Cesarina & will definitely be back again, more than once I'm sure!

Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure to share our love of the Italian Lake District with you. What a lovely photograph you took of the silver peacock at Isolabella - I think we should launch a photographic contest amongst our guests - there are so many photogenic sights to see! More

I have stayed here three times now and highly recommend it for its friendliness, the fact that the lady of the house is English but has lived in Italy for thirty years, is married to an Italian and between them they can tell you anything - very lively chats over mealtimes.

Thank you for your kind words. The fact that you have been to Cascina Cesarina three times, after an initial solo business trip to Italy, and included it on a romantic itinerary, speaks for itself.
