“Wonderful vision! At the sunset you could see seven lakes. Believe me, you can travel all France and Germany but you will never be able to feel that emotion”. Henry Beyle – Stendhal
This is how Stendhal loved to narrate his friends the experience he lived when he discovered Varese, its province and its lakes, where he settled for a few years.

Well, Relais sul Lago is exactly in the heart of Lombardy, the region of lakes, full of breathtaking views and enchanting landscapes. Not far from the Malpensa airport, we are located half way between Lugano in Switzerland and the town of Milan.
Overlooking directly the Lake of Varese, the Relais offers a quiet and relaxed environment and the possibility to reach the centre of the city and several interesting places in no time. Within walking distance you can go for walks, cycling, trekking on horseback and with the nearby airport for gliders can take a trip through the skies of the seven Lombardy lakes, with views of the Madonna del Duomo of Milan on one side and the summit of Monte Rosa on the other!
