Kind welcome of Matteo, Free bottle of water in the room Gorgeous breakfast with apricot croissant, small salami sandwiches, choice of fruit and special Easter attention : 2 slices of Colomba brioche. The fact that I could keep the room until 3pm, what Matteo proposed to me spontaneously, due to the fact the hotel was not very busy during this period. Hotel is close (3 mn.walk) to Metro line 1, which goes directly to Milan downtown (15 mn) No parking, but easy parking for free in the near area Meraviglie restaurant is 6 mn. walk only and it is fantastic experience. Thank you again and congratulations!

Would be nice to have an electric kettle in the room or at least at disposal in the patio. Most hotels provide it nowadays, what is nice to prepare herbal tea that helps to sleep before going to bed ! 😉🤗

A nice hotel with character. Barely visible from the outside, it has a nice inner patio and an original layout. My room was spacious and clean; looked like it had been refurbished recently. Staff were very polite and helpful. Although the area itself is not particularly interesting, the hotel is very close to the tube, which is very convenient.

The croissant and panini were tasty, but altogether breakfast was a bit limited in terms of choice. There was no ironing service (nor iron, or ironing board) which can be inconvenient if you travel for work and have a meeting the morning after.

I can't say enough good things about Girasole and Matteo. He was so sweet and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. And my room was modern, spotless, and cleaned everyday. It was huge, by the way, with a little couch, table, and high ceilings. The garden is amazing. The area is close to a Metro stop, which makes getting around easy, even to and from the airports. It is a little outside of town, which is a plus because it was quiet and safe, but does take a little longer to get to places. The local area had plenty to explore. See if you can spot a lady who works at the cafe, pizza shop and local bar. I don't know when she sleeps. Lovely all around.

This is not a hotel. This is a family house and the owners welcome you like their family. From the moment you check-in, you never feel like you're paying them to be hospitable - the hospitality they show cannot be bought with money, it's genuine. They're the nicest hosts I've met so far. The breakfast similarly feels like eating with your family, with your uncle (or cousin) preparing it for you. With the calming (sometimes energising) background radio, the hosts chat with guests if they're open to it. Unfortunately I do not know Italian so I could not join in the conversation (hosts know English very well, but not all guests do!) The room is like a guest room in your uncle's house. It has everything you may need -- but not more. If you're going to spend time in your room, it won't be enough, but it meets basic expectations. The internet is quite fast.

The room gets a lot of noise from the street and the corridor, due to the building being old I guess. If you're very sensitive to noise you might have trouble sleeping. The view from the room is not the best - you just see the street, cars and people passing by. Personally I did not spend much time in the room and I'm not sensitive to noise so I did not mind.

I am actually in love with the hotel, Nicola and Matteo...Both brothers are fantastic, helpful and very friendly in nature. I loved the concept of Girasol which is very unique. The garden was nice... I loved the breakfast and the way very Italian way they serve...I loved the croissant with nutella. Rooms are specious and comfortable...The property is very near from metro station... Next time if at all i travel to Milan...my only choice is Girasol High Quality INN.

I would expect few more options in breakfast next time! Honest review....

Excellent stylish B&B (apparently refurbished old factory) in north of Milan, far away from the hustle but easy access through metro (station less than 500m on foot). Fantastic friendly hosts. Good breakfast. Spacious rooms.

Not so much typical for this B&B but a general experience in southern Europe is the inability to switch off the airco - as it is centrally organized. The noise of the airco made it difficult for me to fall asleep. After changing rooms this was pretty much solved.

One of the best facilities we have been to. The owners were hospitable and extremely helpful. Even before my arrival, I received directions on WhatsApp on how to get to the hotel. During breakfast, the owners made sure to adapt the menu for my wife, who is a vegan. The room was ready early and when we left we were able to stay until 3pm and wait for the plane. Meteo and Nikola are amazing, we are grateful. The rooms are clean, air-conditioned, cleaned every day, and the garden is wonderful. The facility is close to the metro, so Milan is open to potential guests. I recommend staying in this place. 😊

Nothing

A very clean, comfortable, and cozy hotel. In the morning, you can wake up to the delightful smell of freshly baked croissants. The croissants baked by Mattes & Nicola are the best I’ve ever had in my life. The location is very convenient, with a large supermarket nearby and many restaurants to choose from. Highly recommended!

If the weather were a bit warmer, it would be lovely to enjoy a leisurely breakfast in the garden. I spent a comfortable and pleasant three days here, and there's nothing to complain about!

Lovely Owners ( 2 Brother) who love to have guests. It is not a business- it‘s a passion. Amazing place, nice, cosy, friendly…. GeheimTip

The kind of hospitality at the Il Girasole is beyond fantastic. Super welcoming, kind, helpful and informative. The room was very spacious, had a mini-kitchen and everything was very clean. I highly recommend this place for people who are visiting Milan for a few days!

The only downside if the location, which is a little bit out of the city centre. But there is a direct metro line connecting to the centre, and the closest station is 5 minutes away from the Il Girasole.
