Mount Emilius

The hotel is nice. Rooms are clean and functional, and the bed is comfortable. Hotel staff are courteous and friendly and we found breakfast to be quite good. What we did not like was the location. If you go to Milan as a tourist don't stay here; it's far from the city and you will spend time and money getting there and back. In speaking with the hotel staff, we are not the first ones to book Litta Palace thinking it's a 6-minute drive to the city center as Expedia indicates, when actually their reference is to a suburban shopping center called 'IL Centro' and we incorrectly interpreted that to mean Milan's city center. To get to the Duomo you have to get a ride from the hotel van (at 15 Euro) to take you to the nearest subway station at Rho Fieramilano (10-15 min ride), then take a subway on the red line to Duomo which is 15(!) stations away. Again, this hotel is nice but not for Milan tourists. Expedia needs to do a better job of making this more clear.

15 min walk and you can go to train station and go to Milan cheaper than go to Malpensa airport and take a bus or train to Milan. Before 22:45 you can reserve a seat in hotel bus service if you landed in Malpensa. We landed 00:45am and we did take taxi from airport for €27.50 Breakfast is ok Room was ok Bathroom needed a update I think Overall I recommend

Castello Dal Pozzo is a lovely historical property on lovely grounds. We were given an upgraded room and sparkling wine on arrival. However, the quaint room in the tower had problems with the air conditioning/heating system. It was not working correctly (no cooling on first night, but system gurgled so loudly that it sounded like a waterfall); when we informed staff the next day, they tried to fix it, but when we returned in the evening it was instead blowing hot air and still gurgling a loudly as before - room temp was up to 26C and climbing on warm May evening. We ended up asking staff to turn off the system, which stopped the hot air from blowing, but did not stop the noise. We slept with windows open both nights, but stink bugs flew in by the many dozens.
