day 1 - Join trip at Milan Malpensa airport; transfer to Gravedona

Our trip begins today at Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP), where we'll meet to transfer to Gravedona as a group.
We'll meet at 1pm in the Terminal 1 Arrivals Hall (Arrivals B), of Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP). If your flight arrives into Terminal 2, you can catch the complimentary shuttle bus to Terminal 1. The shuttle runs approximately every ten minutes.
If you'd like to be a part of the airport transfer today, the latest your flight can arrive is 12.30pm. After we've gathered our group, we'll travel to our lakeside hotel in Gravedona, our base for the week - a journey of around 90 minutes/two hours. Gravedona is a pretty little town, situated on the deep blue waters of Lake Como. It's a jumble of pastel-coloured houses with a few shops, cafes and restaurants.
This week, we'll stay at Hotel Regina, a small, family-run hotel with a lakeside swimming pool and views across the water and surrounding mountains. The hotel is just a ten-minute walk from the town centre. Our time in Gravedona promises to be a quintessentially Italian experience, with friendly people and restaurants serving classic Italian dishes and fish from the lake, including the local speciality of fish risotto.
Please note, that all rooms occupied by two people enjoy a view of the lake. Solo travellers opting to pay for a guaranteed single-occupancy room will be accommodated in a non-lakeview room, designed for double occupancy. It's possible to upgrade to a lake view room (all are designed for double occupancy) for a fee. Please contact our sales team for availability and price.
