Best rooms to request

Find train tickets →Varese city centre (Piazza Monte Grappa) → Agriturismo Valtinella
💡 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
💡 Get off at the Varese bus station, then take the C-line bus (€1.50) up to Valtinella – it's a 15-minute ride. No direct bus from Malpensa to the agriturismo.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Varese
💡 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.
Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) → Agriturismo Valtinella, Varese
💡 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.
