A little more trip planning occurred this past week. After going through some discussions on the SlowTrav Forums, I decided to contact I Castagni a small B&B spoken highly of in several discussions, for my last night before my 10:20am departure from Malpensa back home. They provide shuttle service to/from Malpensa at no extra cost, and it’s a small family-run operation. They also have free WiFi for their guests. Sounded good for a last night.
I wrote them via the form on their website and with a few hours they responded. I’ve booked a single for €60 a night, including breakfast and as I mentioned the shuttle. Carlos has been most helpful via email, directing me where to catch the bus to the airport from the train station and telling me which terminal to be dropped at to facilitate the shuttle.
I’m looking forward to staying there.
This sounds like a great find! Are there any options for dinner at this B&B or nearby (walking distance)? I will be interested in hearing about how long it takes for the shuttle to pick you up from the airport and then the next day to get you to the airport.
Now that the new train service from MXP to Milano Centrale train station is starting up, there will be more options on where to stay the night before. I may think about staying right in Milan the night before, although you can’t beat this B&B’s price if it ends up being a nice place.
Again, have a fabulous trip!!
sounds good..am I jealous? Think so.
Sounds like a great plan Kim. The whole trip will be such fun. Can’t wait to follow your adventures.
