At first a stronghold of defense near the borders of the Duchy of Milan, the Visconti Castle of San Vito of Somma Lombardo became a noble residence only in 1448, when the brothers Francesco and Guido Visconti settled there.

After various partitions, the property was reunified and then donated, in 1997, to the Visconti di San Vito Foundation, which today deals with the maintenance and perpetuation of the memory of the castle.

The B&B HOTEL Malpensa Lago Maggiore is strategically located near Lake Maggiore, the city of Varese and the Parco Lombardo del Ticino and is easily accessible from the motorway.

The facility, which has a large car park, offers services for both business travellers and families on holiday and, being in Vergiate, is conveniently located for reaching Malpensa Airport.
