1.5 hour max by car to MXP (3 night home base suggestions)

Hello Everyone! :)

I hope this chat finds you well.

Looking for suggestions and opinions about a 3-4 night home base
no further than (90 miles or 1.5 Hours from MXP Airport)

We will have a car. We fly home from MXP.

Leaning towards Bergamo or Lake Iseo.

We have already stayed in Milan, Turin, Como, Bellano, Stresa.

Thank you in advance for any advice or opinions.
Sincerely, Joe :)

I was about to suggest Lake Maggiore, but you already visited Stresa.
If you haven't seen everything on that lake I would consider another stay in that area. I don't know if you had a chance to see Orta San Giulio (lake Orta), the Cento Valli scenic railroad, Cannobio, Locarno (CH).
If you have seen everything there, then Bergamo is just about 1+ hours from Malpensa. The issue is the traffic on the Milan tangenziale (beltway) at commute time. Iseo is an extra 30 to 40 min so you are closer to 2 hour travel with traffic.

Cremona is a very cool city...not on your list but we had a great time there. We liked Hotel Duomo Cremona. The restaurants are great and the Museo del Violino is fascinating. They also have an excellent market.
