Lake Maggiore, beautiful villa with pool and large garden on Lake Maggiore

This is a classic Italian villa with beautiful grounds and scenic views of the lake and mountains. The garden is beautifully kept and we enjoyed using the pool but sadly couldn’t make the most of the grounds due to the poor weather. Dennis the house keeper was incredible and always on hand to answer any questions we had. We did not have a car so we used the local transport - the bus stop and train station is less than a 5 min walk away. There are many towns and villages to explore close by, Porto valtravaglia, Laveno and Luino to name a few. There was everything you needed in the villa, lots of floats and toys for children and sports equipment for adults and kids alike! The villa is very spacious (there were 14 of us) however the kitchen is on the smaller side. The additional cost for another room wasn’t listed even though we booked for 14 we still had to pay an extra eur 150 for an added room which was disappointing. You also have to pay for utilities at the end of the stay - so make sure you read the small print before you book. (We were aware) Despite this, Marella the house host was always very responsive and I’d recommend this villa for a family or large group stay. Very peaceful and serene with very friendly locals!

The villa and its facilities far exceeded expectations, it is so much more beautiful in person and the setting is idyllic. The walk back up the hill from the small marina area is not too difficult but well worth it for the views of the lake and the waterside restaurants.

The pictures don't do it justice. This is a fully equipped large Villa with fantastic views of the lake. We had 10 adults and there was plenty of room for all of us. We each had our own ensuite bath. The Villa is walking distance to some great restaurants and plenty of activities. The large pool was a big plus...I swam every day. I highly recommend this property

It's a dream house! Large, spacious, authentically furnished. All amenities available, everything very clean and well maintained. The property is huge with a perfectly maintained garden, large, clean pool, volleyball court, lemon trees, lots of loungers, chairs and tables. The equipment was more than complete. We have never had a house that was better equipped. The contact with the agency, the owner and the caretaker (lives next door) was perfect, we would love to come back!

The best house we‘ve ever been ?? for 25 years. Absolutely recommandable ?.

It's a wonderful place to stay with your family, you don't believe your eyes what you see when you arrive at the villa!

Brilliant! Perfect for family groups. wonderful villa with exquisite gardens and plenty of playing space for kids. Lovely pool (but very deep - kids need to be watched). Rooms are large and comfortable. Wonderful views over the lake. Very close to bus stop and train station. Close to Lago Piazza with good restaurants (but none open in early morning), rocks for jumping into the lake, lovely outlook. Allis good but would have been nice if fans had been provided (very inexpensive) during the hot weather.

Big house fit our large family group perfectly. The surroundings are beautiful and the house fits right in. The pictures really don't do it justice. The host is very responsive and took care of anything that came up right away. The location is an easy walk to a couple cute restaurants on the lake, and an easy drive to the ferry in Laveno as well as lots of other highlights. Only downside was the lack of air conditioning, but there was only one night where we missed it.

Fantastic place with generous spaces a charming old fashioned Italian style. We also love the proximity to shops and restaurants. This is our 2nd time in the property and already looking forward to a next one!

This is a beautifully equipped and furnished home. From the wonderful outdoor pool to the multiplicity of bathrooms, from the amazing views from most rooms over the lake to the nearness of a supermarket and good places to eat, our whole experience, as a group of old friends, was wonderful. Thank. you Denis and thank you Mariella. Very highly recommended.
