Have to admit that 3RE is the best place to stay in Sesto Calende but it is a pretty dull village. If I went back there I would go over the lake to Arona where all the nightclubs, bars and restaurants also check out the McDonalds in Arona... serves beer there too!! A lot of factory outlet shops in Arona so there is no need to travel to Milan for the Italian shoes. Do yourself a favour though and rent a car when you get to Malpensa Airport as taxis and public transport is not that good around Sesto.
