I would recommend going to Certosa Di Pavia and Pavia . Gabriella was very good and knowledgeable. Is less than an hour from Milan and worth the trip
Walking or cycling is always a pleasure to find yourself in front of this imposing monument , on sunny days you can also walk around the surrounding greenery
Cara Lucia R, Ha descritto la Certosa in modo splendido. È davvero uno di quei luoghi che lasciano senza parole. Ci piace pensare a quanto il monumento diventi ancora più suggestivo nelle giornate di sole, immerso nel verde e nella tranquillità che lo circondano. Grazie per aver condiviso una sensazione così bella. Saremmo felici di accoglierla presto per un’altra esperienza indimenticabile. Cordiali saluti, Rosotravel team
