The Hotel Locanda Dei Mai Intees is a charming 4-star boutique hotel, located in the medieval village of Azzate, with a splendid view of Lake Varese. Converted from a 15th-century residence that was once an old cultural club (hence the name in Lombard dialect, meaning 'misunderstood'), the Locanda has been beautifully renovated, preserving the original frescoes, fireplaces, and historic architecture, combined with modern comforts and technology.
The Locanda offers 12 rooms and suites, all individually decorated with elegance, antique furniture, and fine fabrics. Room types include Classic Rooms (in the original body of the villa, with marble bathrooms) and more luxurious Suites. The Giulietta Suite, located in the renovated wing, features a mezzanine with 16th-century exposed beams, a living area with a fireplace, and a Jacuzzi tub. All accommodations offer free Wi-Fi, plasma TV, minibar, and a safe.
The Locanda Dei Mai Intees Restaurant is a gastronomic landmark. Established in 1989 (with a cuisine style initially set by chef Gualtiero Marchesi), it offers dishes of Lombard regional cuisine and international creative touches, accompanied by a rich wine selection. The buffet breakfast includes fresh local products. The restaurant features historic rooms, such as the Sala degli Affreschi (once the village pharmacy), a panoramic terrace, and an intimate wooden bar (the former Post Office). Additional services: free parking, bicycle rental, possibility to organize private events and business dinners in the Sala delle Armi.
The location is strategic for exploring Lake Varese (very close to the cycle path) and Lake Maggiore. The Locanda is only 25 km from Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), making it convenient for business travelers. Nearby activities include golf, fishing, horse riding, and hiking or biking tours. Cultural attractions like Villa Panza and the Sacro Monte di Varese are easily accessible by car.

His Opinion: Io e il mio fidanzato siamo stati in questa splendida struttura lo scorso week end. Siamo stati accolti dalla Sig.ra Carlotta e dal figlio Paolo che ci hanno subito mostrato la camera dove avremmo alloggiato (spaziosa, pulita, con un bel bagno ed una bella vista sul grande cortile interno). La vera meraviglia è stato condividere momenti di relax (rientro serale e colazione) con i loro tre splendidi animali: un bel gattone rosso, soprannominato da noi "Romeo", "Leopoldo" l' anziano cane di casa e la bella, giovane ed esuberante "Charlotte". Inoltre, mangiare con l'argenteria di una volta..beh che dire..ha decisamente un suo fascino.
Grazie

His Opinion: Un tuffo nel passato, sia all'esterno che negli interni si apprezza un'atmosfera d'altri tempi. Gestori gentilissimi, colazione non abbondante ma di qualità. Consigliato , specie a chi, come a noi, ama i posti "vintage".

His Opinion: Posto incantevole, abbiamo passato una notte splendida in una camera da sogno; il camino scoppiettante, l'arredamento d'altri tempi, una accurata colazione in camera, una confortevole vasca idromassaggio, un soppalco come nido dove riposare, un intimo sofa' e quant'altro, hanno reso questo soggiorno un ricordo indelebile.
