Ispra accommodation from NZ$158

No-one in their right mind would visit Ispra without seeing the Sacred Mountain of the Rosary. The Locanda del Brinsc and Hotel Colonne are within a hop, skip and a jump of Sacred Mountain of the Rosary.

The Casa Don Guanella and International Camping Ispra are recommended options if you plan on visiting the Joint Research Centre while you are in Ispra and want to stay close.

The B&B SouthItaly is located 30 kilometres from the central part of Ispra. Or, alternatively, the La Corte Del Poeta is situated 35 kilometres away. Two other places to stay include the Appartamento Malpensa Rho and the Casa Violetta - Bed & Breakfast.

The broader Lombardy area is certainly well worth visiting as well. If you're a nature lover, you won't want to miss Lombardy's rural landscapes. In addition, you should explore a selection of the area's ruins, castles and traditional villages. Or spend some time snowboarding and skiing while you're here.

Looking for things to do? Spend the day enjoying the Ogliari European Transport Museum and Porto Valtravaglia Ferry Terminal, which you'll find in Ranco, 3 kilometres to the southwest of Ispra. Should you wish to spend a night or two in Ranco, check out the Hotel Agnello and Relais Cascina al Campaccio. Or, you could consider staying in Belgirate, 5 kilometres to the northwest of Ispra, where you can pick from the Hotel Tre Laghi and Luina. The Belgirate Old Church and Belgirate Ferry Terminal are popular sites to experience for those visiting Belgirate.

Visitors planning on arriving or departing through Malpensa International Airport may like to book a bed at the MOXY Milan Malpensa Airport or the Il Gelsomino, which are both a short ride away.
