Linate Aeroporto is just outside of the city of Milano. To reach Stresa, north of Milano, the best way may be to travel into the city to the train station.
Unlike from Malpensa, there is no Alibus shuttle to take one directly to Stresa from Linate International Airport. Therefore, if you arriving at Linate and coming to Stresa, there are a couple of options. From Linate one way to reach Stresa is by taking the shuttle bus that runs between Linate and Malpensa. It drops passengers at Terminal 2 at Malpensa, from which they can take the Alibus shuttle to Stresa.

Another option is to get to Milano Centrale station. Linate Airport is very close to Centrale, only 9km, and Linate runs a shuttle to Centrale for 5 euro. Once at Centrale one can take the train to Stresa. Even a taxi from Linate to Centrale should not cost much, perhaps 15 or 20 euro. If you are more than one person this becomes an economical way to reach Centrale.

The only way to reach Stresa directly from Linate could be with a private taxi. This is costly, about 200 euro. Regarding the options mentioned above, please do keep in mind that all of the above information assumes daytime travel. Late in the night the trains run seldom, if at all, and the shuttles not at all.
