"Everything was great.From the time Marco greeted us until we left 2 days later. Breakfast was the best we’ve had at a hotel. Staff was unbelievable. If you’re going to Milan and don’t mind taking a short train ride in every day, hotel Cerrano can’t be beat. Also, only a short train ride to the airport. We were given a breakfast bag to go since we left so early. Can’t say enough positive things."

"The property is beautiful, the pool area especially is magnificent on the lake. The wait staff are great and the bellman try nice but the people at the check in desk did not make an effort to make us feel welcome and they didn’t explain the amenities or give helpful information about the property. The restaurant/food is good. The main level is beautiful, but the bedrooms and especially the bathrooms need an update however everything is clean The showers in the classic rooms are tiny. We had a great stay all in all - would go there again."
