Cascina Galizia

The deluxe room had a high-end hot tub right in the middle, which made for a romantic, fun way to unwind after a long drive. This family farm makes all kinds of delicious food, and the cooking was incredible, even by Italian standards. The grounds are wide and lovely, with a lake, birdsong, and that almost Disney-like feel I didn’t think existed in real life. It’s also handy if you need to get to the airport. Don’t miss this hidden gem. We definitely plan to come back.

The pasta was the best ever, and the beef was seasoned just right. Such lovely surroundings, a real gem. It feels very rural, yet Milan and the airport are close by.

We’d booked ahead for lunch with 20 friends, agreed on a set menu, and paid a deposit. The location was okay, but the service dragged badly. We sat down at 12:45 and didn’t finish until around 3:45 PM. The food was mediocre at best, and the portions weren’t anything special. We had house wine, then were charged an outrageous €48 per person for a meal worth half that, even allowing for inflation and how expensive the area in Italy is. I’ll never go back or recommend it.

We celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary here. It’s a beautiful, peaceful place, the food is fantastic, and the staff were friendly and really helpful. The hotel can arrange a taxi with either Diego or his brother. They’re accommodating and speak good English, which made getting around easier. We’d happily recommend the hotel and hope to return someday.
