Enjoy a coffeeat Robecco

This route begins and ends along the banks of the Naviglio Grande, taking in country lanes, farmhouses and the beautiful Castello Visconteo in Cusago. Refreshments are available at bars, traditional restaurants or farm houses along the route. As well as the local churches, the highlight of the tour are the pretty streets and stately villas in Robecco sul Naviglio. It’s easy to see why this small town was a favourite holiday spot for Milanese nobles during the Renaissance – families like the Borromeo-Visconti, the Litta, the Clerici, the Verri, the Castelbarco and the Archinto. Palazzo Archinto, with its two towers, rooms and walled gardens, as well as the town’s bridge over the Naviglio are picture perfect.
