A stylish, fully renovated hotel in a great central location. The rooms are large, comfortable, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully equipped. The lounge area is a lovely touch. The staff were outstanding, especially Mikaela, who made sure our stay in Milan was perfect. We would happily choose this hotel again on our next trip to Milan.

FAQs about hotels in Lombardy

Sophisticated and Serene

The diverse region of Lombardy touches the 3 largest Italian lakes: Lake Garda, Lake Maggiore and Lake Como. Their beautiful shores house many Lombardy luxury hotels and even more luxurious celebrity residences.

The rich and famous also flock to Milan, one of the world’s fashion capitals, where designer boutiques are found alongside La Scala opera house and the iconic San Siro football stadium. To the south, Pavia is best known for its elaborate monastery, while Monza to the north-east hosts the F1 Italian Grand Prix and World Superbike Championship.

Nearby Bergamo is the hub for cheap flights to Milan and it also has a historic old town, while to its east is peaceful Lake Iseo. A smaller lake is located by Varese, and artificial lakes also almost entirely surround the important medieval city of Mantua, seat of the Gonzaga court during the Renaissance.

Brescia to the north-west has monuments dating back to Roman times, while Cremona to the south-west has an impressive cross-shaped cathedral and huge belltower. This beautiful city is on the Po, Italy’s longest river which forms part of the Lombardy border.

Wherever you are staying, Booking.com has a fantastic range of accommodation including B&Bs, apartments and hotels in Lombardy.

Parc Hotels - Hotel Leonardo Da Vinci, we would like to thank you very much, we were there as a group for Easter, we felt very good, the hotel is great in a beautiful environment, clean, had good service, excellent food and friendly staff, it's a shame that we couldn't use the pool, sometimes in the summer, but at least we relaxed around it with drinks, coffee and sunshine, thank you very much once again and we'll definitely see you 👍

Everything was great: the room, the location, the setting, the staff were polite, cheerful, friendly, always available to help and ensure we had a pleasant stay. It is a peaceful and very relaxing place, which allowed me to rest and recharge my batteries. The hotel is in front of the Lake with an amaizing view from the room. You just at 3min to walk from the lake. Thank's to the whole team!

We were looking for a place from where we can make trips to south&north of the region and Manerba was the perfect spot. The camp is situated at the very coast of the lake so can take peaceful walks along the beach. Plenty of shade from the trees, everything was very clean. Promised myself to return 😊.

Great choice if you are a football lover with San Siro being the obvious choice but having Monza, Como or Bergamo in the proximity makes Milan a very attractive option. Food is great, Navigli is not to be missed, Duomo is a must see at anytime of the day or night but the only downside are the bracelet sellers located at the Duomo / San Siro stadium / Sforzesco castle.

We took the funicular up to the old town and were blown away by how beautiful it was with a number of lovely shops, restaurants, cafes, etc. We enjoyed our evening there so much that we are thinking of going back for a longer visit to have a good look around.

Lake Como was absolutely magical! We visited at the end of September, and the timing couldn’t have been better. The weather was still warm, but the peak summer crowds had passed. Incredible food, exceptional service, breathtaking views and beautiful little towns to explore. Every bit as wonderful as we had hoped, and then some. We loved every minute!

Sirmione is a beautiful historic town with Lake Garda on both sides of it. There are some lovely walks and plenty of shops, restaurants and cafe / bars. The castle is worth a visit if only for the picturesque views of the town and the lake, but make sure you are ready for the many flights of stairs up to the top of the castle keep. There are a couple of churches too, one dating back to the 6th or 7th century, which are worth a visit. Sirmione gets very very busy during the day (even in mid October), with large numbers of visitors, so we travelled to other lake towns by boat during the day. Lazise, Bardolino, Peschiera and Garda are lovely to visit and we got a few hours out of each while enjoying the ferry transfers around the lake between the towns. The ferry schedule changes in the first week of October with fewer ferries and a significant number of ferry stops disappearing from the winter schedule, so be sure to check before you travel if you are planning to visit a lot of towns by ferry during your trip. Once the day trippers have left Sirmione it really comes into its own and is a joy to stroll around and pick a restaurant or get an ice cream from one of the many gelaterie. Beware though, because some restaurants and cafes start to close from 8 or 9pm in October so its best to dine early. We stayed for four days which we felt was the perfect length of time to see both Sirmione and some of the surrounding towns in the south of Lake Garda. The whole area is a joy of slow travel and relaxation and we would highly recommend it for a short visit.

A beautiful quaint village so worth the visit. The lemon story everywhere is lovely and people so welcoming. The town can handle large crowds with parking facilities in a few places . The beaches on the lake are also gorgeous. It’s now one of my favourite spots in Italy.

Bellagio is a very smart, picturesque village.

Bellagio is a very smart, picturesque village. However because of its popularity it gets incredibly busy and is also expensive. Shops are mainly situated on steep stepped streets - no good for anyone with mobility problems or pushchairs. Access by ferry is very easy and not that expensive. It's Ok for a day trip but if you stay there be prepared for expensive hotels and the need to use ferries to get anywhere else and queues can be very long. I preferred Mennagio - much quieter, nice promenade and good (cheaper) restaurants.

Tirano is a quiet town with a quaint historical centre, very well connected by train to Sondrio and Milano, and specially by the Bernina Line (also known as the Trenino Rosso), which is a must do if you are in Tirano. There is also the Sentiero Valtellina, which follows the river Adda from Colico (eastern side of lake Como) to Bormio. The castle ruins offer a good panoramic of the town and the surrounding valleys. And don't forget to visit the Madonna basilica!

Varenna is a lovely place to visit with its pretty cobbled streets & steps. The local ferry port means you can travel easily to other areas of the lake to explore the wonderful villas and gardens. Peolple are friendly and there are plenty of places to eat. There are also small local food shops if you are self catering. It feels very safe.

The room was very clean and quite comfortable.

The room was very clean and quite comfortable. My only crticism was a lengthy wait for the shuttle service. Upon arrival at the Airport for tranfer to the First Hotel Malpensa, we located the correct área for pickup and then made our call to the hotel for the shuttle service. The person who answered said they were busy picking up other passengers and to call them back. We lost our wifi connectivity to make make that second call although we spent over an hour trying to contact the shuttle without success. After and hour and about 15 minutes, we had decided to take a taxi. As we exited to the sidewalk at the pickup point for shuttles and taxis, we discovered a First Hotel Malpensa shuttle just arriving!!! Such shuttle service from your hotel caused us a great deal of inconvenience and stress. At the very least the person answering the shuttle line should give the customer an estimated time for pickup and not require a second call and over an hour of waiting time for the the hotel guest.
