Two's the limit

When I stayed at the property in February, I had inquired about the possibility of 3 in a room. I was told (politely, but) in no uncertain terms that 2 was the limit per room. After having stayed there--and from a practical standpoint--I cannot imagine more than 2 guests in a room, as the rooms are not that large. The bathrooms, on the other hand are enourmous, perhaps equal to or larger than the size of the bedroom in some cases.

If I recall correctly, hotel parking was available at EUR26/night, although it might have been even more expensive. There are parking lots throughout the center, but expect no bargains. Breakfast is no bargain, either, at EUR32/person.

From a logistics standpoint, I'm not sure you are doing yourself and your family any favors by using Milan as a base. You will have to deal with lots of traffic--incoming and outgoing, and commuting (particularly to Genoa) will not be much fun. In addition, costs will be greater in Milan. While the hotel is certainly lovely, I can't imagine that you will be in a position to enjoy it so much with kids in tow. You might want to consider seriously hotels which are closer to your desired destinations--most include breakfast. You will certainly be giving yourselves more time at your destinations versus the autostrade.
