Crónicas de Varese

Varese, a city in the Lombardy region of Italy, was founded by the Romans in the 1st century BC. The city's strategic location on the shores of Lake Maggiore made it an important commercial centre during the Roman Empire. In the Middle Ages, Varese became a significant textile production hub, earning it the nickname 'the city of silk'. Today, Varese is a thriving city with a rich cultural identity, boasting a mix of medieval and Art Nouveau architecture, and hosting various festivals and events throughout the year, including the Varese Jazz Festival.

Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Il Rustico, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on a higher floor (above floor 4) for a quieter stay. The hotel's location in Varese, a city with moderate traffic, means that lower floors may experience more street noise. Additionally, rooms on higher floors are further away from the lift, which is located on the first floor.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on the first floor, as they are closer to the lift and may be noisier. Also, rooms facing the service entrance (if it's on the side of the hotel) may experience some noise from deliveries and staff activity.

🪟

Best views

Unfortunately, with an address in Varese, the views from the hotel are likely to be of the surrounding cityscape or nearby buildings, rather than a scenic natural view.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 5 and above are likely to be the quietest.

🔊 Noise notes

As Varese is a city, some noise from traffic and pedestrian activity can be expected. However, the hotel's location in a more residential area may help to mitigate this.

Insider tips

1. If you're driving, be aware that parking in Varese can be limited, so it's a good idea to book a room with parking included or use a nearby public car park. 2. The hotel's 24-hour check-in is convenient for late arrivals, but be sure to check the check-in process and any specific requirements beforehand to ensure a smooth arrival.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Varese city centre (Piazza Monte Grappa) → Agriturismo Valtinella

20 min · Every 30 minutes (weekdays), hourly (weekends) · 06:00-20:30

💡 The stop is called 'Valtinella' – not the same as Sacro Monte. Look for the blue sign on the main road. Buses get busy at school times (08:00-08:30, 16:30-17:30). Best to walk the last 500m up the dirt track if you have light luggage.

Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Varese

60 min · Hourly from 07:00 to 20:00 · 07:00-20:00

🚂
Malpensa Express + Trenord €15.00

Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Varese

45 min · Every 30-60 minutes · 05:00-23:00

💡 Buy the ticket from the Trenord machine not the Malpensa Express one if you want the cheaper regional option (around €10 vs €13). The train runs direct from Terminal 1.

🚕
Taxi from Malpensa €75.00

Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Agriturismo Valtinella, Varese

40 min · On request · 24/7

💡 Agree the fare before you get in – drivers sometimes quote €90. Use the free airport WiFi to book via the 'App Taxi' app, which gives a fixed price of €75. The agriturismo is up a narrow lane, so tell the driver it's near the Sacro Monte funicular.
