Beautiful grounds and pool. Amazing views! Room was clean and spacious. Unfortunately, the wireless internet connection waa terrible, which meant the TV would not load channels and I was unable to work remotely. I told thw front desk but nothing was done. Also, their restaurants require reservations and by the time we checked in there were no reservatioms left at the main restaurant. Also note that no food from outside the hotel is allowed.

Good location, but no luxury hotel

The Hotel Villa Borghi was in a great location in terms of being close to both Milan's Malpensa Airport and gorgeous Lake Maggiore. The pool was well-situated with a view of the lakes in the distance. And the pizza place next door was nice and casual. But, if you are expecting a luxury experience, look again. The place is shabby. Paint patches everywhere, flooring popping up, even the placement of the door knob made the door to the hotel hard to close. It's clean, but not the luxury accommodation it seems to sell itself as. But if you just need a place to crash the night before catching a flight its OK.

Not a four star but does have a pretty dining room which was closed and decent pizza restaurant. Our room was a 2-3 star. No body lotion, two lightbulbs dead in chandelier n very old everything.

Would not recommend

The location and facilities were Beautiful, clean, well kept. We were so excited upon arrival but the good aspects end there. Staff were unfriendly, unwelcoming, not helpful and rude. We felt as though our presence there was an annoyance. Check in was horrible. The restaurant was closed , there had been no notice of that when we booked. The pizzeria on the grounds offered the worst food we've had in Italy. One reason we chose this location was that it offered a free shuttle to the airport - that's a lie. They booked the most expensive car available which upon arrival to the airport charged us 60 euros for a 20 minute drive. That was misleading and deceptive.

Focused on events

I suppose this hotel really depends on events (like weddings, corporate events) to make its living. Guests seem a kind of afterthought. I suggest ask if there is an event before booking; stay away if there is.

A true Italian hotel.

The hotel were very accommodating to both our needs of a room suitable for travelling with a toddler and a disabled guest. The room was very spacious and every detail of the hotel had an Italian feel about it. The food was very tasty. My little boy had his first experience sleeping in a cot bed which he loved. Luckily he is old enough as this was the only option for babies although he did fall out once in the night. Really enjoyed our stay here, highly recommend it.

Nice villa / hotel not too far from Milan Malpensa

Overall pleasant stay. Staff arranged for airport pick up (60 Euros) and was very accommodating, letting us check in early. Beautiful villa, nice grounds, quiet, partial lake view. Excellent first rest stop, if you are not in a hurry - the place is not particularly convenient to Milan.
Most suitable for wedding and events, possibly small to mid-size corporate retreats (they have both the space and the facilities - albeit not very high-tech from what I could observe). If the hotel can guarantee adequate staffing levels, it could be a great choice. There are several golf courses in the vicinity and several beautiful lakes within a few miles.

Great from the outside, but slightly worn out

Great villa and fantastic surrounding garden. Looks beautiful from the outside, but as soon as you take a closer look everything is a bit worn out. Hotel Service was mediocre and not overly friendly. The room had high ceilings, a very large bed and parquet floor, french windows with a view to the impressive garden and the lake in the background. However, paint starting to disintegrate, no drinks at all in the room (not even a glass), and an old shower dampened the experience. The overall interior of the hotel does not compare to the impressive building, it does not fit the antique setting. Breakfast was mediocre at most.

Great hotel for quiet break and gentle sightseeing

This hotel has undergone a wonderful, sympathetic refurbishment. Our room, a junior suit, was divine - double aspect with superb outlooks. The seating area was most comfortable with a couple of tables as well as a desk and chair. The extra large bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in with the sheets very soft and luxurious. The bathroom was almost unbelievable, so large, splendid linens and toiletries. The bedroom flooring was original woodblock and the bathroom flooring was beautifully matched old ceramic tiles. No fine detail had been spared. The dining room and breakfast room were comfortable, the food good and the service was very discreet - at times almost too discreet.

Location was very convenient and it was close to other restaurants and within easy reach of major routes.

Wir waren als Familie für eine Woche in der Villa Borghi und hatten eine Suite. Das Haus ist eine prächtige, alte Villa, die etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist. Eine kleine \"Auffrischung\" könnte nicht schaden. Leider wird wohl am Personal gespart, was man an der Zimmerreinigung ( wir sahen immer nur 2 Damen für das gesamte Hotel) und auch bei Frühstück sieht. Apropos Frühstück: ist wirklich nicht empfehlenswert, nicht zu sagen, unterirdisch. Hier sollte wirklich nachgebessert werden.
Ansonsten eine große, teilweise auch schöne Anlage, mit einem Pool, der fleißig genutzt wird.

Was noch wichtig ist, man ist wirklich mitten in der \"Pampa\". Um an die Seen ( Lago Maggiore, Comer See, Luganer See) zu kommen, muss man länger fahren.

Bello ma da curare meglio.

Visto in foto l’hotel si presenta molto meglio che dal vivo.
La villa è molto bella, ma a mio parere è trascurata.
Dopo aver fatto presente in reception della trascuratezza degli ambienti siamo stati ascoltati e ci è stata gentilmente proposta una sistemazione nell’edificio accanto, risistemato da poco, dove abbiamo soggiornato piacevolmente.
Ribadisco che la villa è veramente bella, bisognerebbe curare maggiormente i dettagli.
Ad esempio il divanetto della hall aveva l’alimentazione di sporco, uno strappo ed un buco nel tessuto.

Belle demeure dans une ancienne propriété italienn

5 nuits suite 202 donnant sur l’avant de la villa, très grande chambre de style ancien. Piscine très bien avec transats et serviettes disponibles à l’accueil. Le spa très bien bon accueil, kit également fournis a l’accueil. Massages pas essayé. Un resto dans la villa mais pas ouvert tous les soirs, pas essayé non plus, une pizzeria dans le domaine, ancienne écurie, accueil moyen de la part du jeune gérant, qui après un ou deux soupirs finira par vous emmener à une des tables vides non réservées, donc pour un meilleur accueil réservez votre table via la réception de l’hôtel. Petit déjeuner correct servi dans la nouvelle aile, comprenant le spa et également des chambres de style moderne, attention à ne pas venir trop tard sinon ce sera du pain.
Un bar à été créé dans une ancienne serre à l’arrière de la villa, il est tenu par l’ami français, du gérant, ici on y trouve un très bon accueil et de très bon cocktails, avec une très grande offre de super Gin Tonic et rhum. Dommage qu’il ne soit pas ouvert tout le temps.
La ville de Borghi n’a pas grand intérêt, cependant l’emplacement permet d’être au calme et de pouvoir rayonner vers les lacs avoisinants.

Un lieu de détente presque parfait

L'hotel est magnifique et ancien et il offre d'excellentes prestations dont un Spa et une superbe piscine. Nous avons pu passé un excellent séjour de détente. Le bar et les deux restaurants permettent de rester sur place. A noter, qu'au vu de sa situation près de Milan, l’hôtel n'est pas loin d'un couloir aérien ce qui pourrait déranger les plus tatillons. Les chambres sont très belles et très confortables, même s'il manque quelques accessoires pour atteindre la perfection ( repose valise, crochet dans la SDB pour les serviettes). Le petit déjeuner est simple, et il y a un parfois un peu de négligence: propreté des couloirs et escaliers (l'ancien n'excuse pas tout), cendrier de la piscine non vidé.

Historische Villa mit Wellness - einfach traumhaft

Wir machten einen Kurzurlaub mit unserer kleinen Tochter. Die Villa ist ruhig gelegen umgeben von einem wunderschönen Park und einem Aussenpool. Es ist ein herrschaftlicher Palast mit antiken Möbeln, wunderschönen alten Böden, Stukkaturen und einem imposanten Treppenhaus. Das Restaurant wie auch der Frühstücksraum sind sehr gediegen mit allen Details. Es ist wirklich traumhaft. Man fühlt sich wie in vergangene Zeiten zurückversetzt. Zudem kann man als Hotelgast das moderne Wellness im Nebengebäude (tgl für 3 Std) geniessen. (Nur schade, dass es keine unterirdische Verbindung gibt.) Das Personal ist freundlich und hilfsbereit und erklärt einem gerne, wo was zu finden ist. Auch unserem kleinen Mädchen hat es sehr gefallen. Sie war immer wieder mal auf Entdeckungsreise...Das Personal zeigte sich sehr verständnisvoll und hat sogar einmal unser kleiner Ausreisser während dem Essen in der Eingangshalle abgefangen.

Un bel soggiorno rilassante e romantico

Abbiamo soggiornato 1 giorno e una notte in questa struttura ben curata e d'effetto. Siamo stati ben accolti (avevamo anche un cane, ben accetto). Gli spazi sono molti ampi, tipici delle ville settecentesche (anche se non saprei veramente datare la struttura). La stanza aveva un letto matrimoniale comodo e molto grande. Era ben curata, proprio come il bagno, spazioso e con una bella doccia a colonna con getti multipli. Alla struttura è affiliata una spa... Non troppo curata e la ragazza alla reception non troppo cordiale. Le due ore concesseci (e l'informazione ci è stata data in malo modo),incluse con la prenotazione fatta in villa, sono trascorse comunque serenamente.. Peccato solo che la spa non fosse ben tenuta (casse audio al soffitto che pendevano, docce mal funzionanti..) Per fortuna però la villa era accogliente, con una bella atmosfera principesca, bei saloni(peccato non aver avuto tempo di cenarvi), e un'ottima colazione servita fino alle 10. Sicuramente dev'essere bello anche con la stagione più calda, perché la villa dispone di un grandissimo giardino che la circonda tutta (dotato anche di piscina) che è stato una vera ricchezza per il nostro cagnolino. Accanto alla villa, infine, c'èra anche un ristorantino che, a vedersi dalle vetrate, sembrava davvero invitante, accogliente, elegante e alla moda.. Alla prossima occasione credo lo testeremo.
