Guest Travel Experiences
"Our driver picked us up at the airport, helped with our heavy bags, and drove us straight to Bellagio. It was so much easier than figuring out the trains. A perfect start to our weekend!"
"Traveling with kids is usually hard, but the van already had car seats set up for us. The driver took us right to our hotel door. Super easy and relaxing."
"A smooth ride from the Milan train station straight to our hotel in Varenna. We didn't have to carry our bags up those steep stairs, and our driver gave us a great dinner tip!"
"Great service for our team trip to Stresa. The vans were super clean and our driver was really professional. Definitely recommend them for group travel."
"Our driver was early, paid the tolls, and drove us to Lake Orta comfortably. Having a guaranteed ride back to Milan took away all the stress of the weekend."
"Booked a private transfer from Milan Malpensa to Sirmione on Lake Garda. The driver was waiting with a clear sign, the car was pristine, and we arrived on time for our check-in."
45 Minutes from Malpensa: Why Drive Instead of Train to Stresa
While Stresa boasts a railway station, travelers arriving at major aviation hubs like Malpensa Airport will find the cross-connections highly inefficient.
Malpensa, Linate and Bergamo to Lake Maggiore
*Please note: The displayed times and starting prices are estimates from central Milan and may vary based on your exact pick-up location and distance.
Malpensa (MXP)
~45 min • From € 121
The shortest airport transfer in our lake portfolio. Malpensa's location in Varese province means you are already halfway to Stresa when you land. Your chauffeur takes the SS33 lakeside road directly to your hotel.
Linate (LIN)
~70 min • From € 224
Domestic and European short-haul arrivals connect to Stresa through Milan's western bypass and the A8 motorway north. No rail connection needed.
Bergamo (BGY)
~100 min • From € 305
The longest route, but still a single, unbroken drive. The A4 west to the A8 north brings you to the Borromean Gulf without any platform changes or bus transfers from Orio al Serio.
Visit the Borromean Islands on the Way
Combine your transfer with a guided stop in Verbania or a boat trip to Isola Bella. Your driver can coordinate ferry timing and wait lakeside: all quoted at a flat rate before you confirm.

Everything you need to know about your premium transfer.
How far is Lake Maggiore from Malpensa Airport?
Stresa is approximately 40 km from Malpensa. A private transfer covers this in about 45 minutes on the SS33 lakeside road. It is our shortest airport-to-lake journey.
Is there a direct train from Malpensa Airport to Stresa?
Not directly. You need the Malpensa Express to Milano Cadorna or Centrale, then a Trenord regional train to Stresa: a journey involving two connections and about 2–2.5 hours with luggage. The 45-minute drive eliminates all of this.
What does a private car from Milan city to Stresa cost?
We provide fixed-rate transfers for Mercedes E-Class vehicles. From Malpensa, the rate is lower due to the shorter distance. All prices include tolls, fuel, and 60 minutes of airport wait time.
Can you take me to the Grand Hotel des Iles Borromees?
Yes. We provide door-to-door service to every Stresa hotel, including the Grand Hotel des Iles Borromees, Hotel Regina Palace, and Villa Aminta. The driver stops at the main entrance and assists with luggage.
Do you offer transfers from Stresa to other lakes?
Yes. Popular onward routes include Stresa to Lake Orta (30 minutes), Stresa to Lugano, Switzerland (60 minutes), and Stresa to Lake Como (90 minutes). All are fixed-rate with the same transparent pricing.
Can I book a transfer for a large group going to Lake Maggiore?
The Mercedes V-Class seats up to 7 passengers with full luggage. For parties larger than 7, we organize multi-vehicle convoys: two V-Class vans, for example: with drivers who travel together and arrive simultaneously.
What happens if my flight to Malpensa is delayed?
We track every inbound flight in real time. If your arrival shifts, your chauffeur adjusts automatically. The 60 minutes of complimentary wait time starts when your plane actually lands, not the scheduled time.
Is Lake Maggiore easy to reach with children and strollers?
A private transfer is the easiest option. Train platforms at Stresa station are not always stroller-friendly, and buses from Malpensa don't run frequently. Our V-Class accommodates strollers in the rear, and child seats are fitted free of charge.
Because Malpensa Airport is so close to Piedmont, a direct private car from Milan is the absolute fastest way to arrive. Skip the transit delays and let a professional driver save you hours.
- Premium Comfort: Whether you need a private airport connection or premium transport to the Grand Hotel, we guarantee a flawless ride.
