We stayed at Althea in February for a long weekend and it was home away from home. Our host, Beatrice, made us really welcome and helped us to plan any trips we wanted to do as it was our first visit to Milan. She provided maps and directions and also has guide books available in different languages. The B&B is... More

When we were looking for a B&B to stay in Trip Advisor suggested there was no avaliablility at the wonderful Althea. However contacting the host directly we found out that there was indeed a room available. The B&B is small and independently run, only having one room so this is why it sometimes shows up as unavailable. Don't let this... More

My husband and I stayed here our first night in Italy. Warm host who helped us get our bearings. Beautiful comfortable room. Wonderful deck where we enjoyed our breakfast. Easy bus ride from Linate. 10-15 bus ride to the Duomo (center city). If every place we stay in Italy is as nice as this, we'll be delighted.

My husband and I stayed at Althea B&B in June. The apartment was about a 15min bus trip from the Milan Central Station. Beatrice, our host gave us very clear instructions on how to reach the apartment from the station. Beatrice was not at home to greet us but arranged for us to collect our key from the local newsagent... More

I stayed at Althea during my visit to Italy and had a wonderful stay. I had my own room and bathroom for a very good price and the breakfast was delicious. The city center is around 20 min walking. But the best part of all was my wonderful host Beatrice. She is an amazing lady. She is very kind, friendly... More

My sister and I stayed at the lovely Althea in February for a quick weekend (and I only now get around to write a review - but I couldn't forget this one...). Our stay was very memorable as we were immediately made to feel welcome. Everything was spotless clean and the beds were extremely comfortable - we never slept better!... More

the last night of our italy trip was spent with beatrice at her b&b. we easily found it from the train station using her detailed directions. on arrival, she gave us the tour of the b&b and showed us which buses to take into town on a map that we could keep. the room (on the 3rd floor) was quiet,...

Beatrice was lovely and her home was fantastic. Very clean, nicely decorated, warm and friendly. You need to take the bus to get to the city center and the train station, but Beatrice made sure we knew where to go. Loved it!

Milan was the last stop on our two week trip in Italy, and we couldn't have spent it in a better place. The room was immaculate and the service was fantastic. We had an incredibly early flight the morning we left and Beatrice (the owner) made all the arrangements for us, including finding train schedules and arranging for a taxi... More
