First visit to the lakes
Beautiful property, we really enjoyed our stay. The property is excellent and the local area is stunningly beautiful. Fully equipped kitchen, nice dining tables outdoors and inside, comfortable. Swimming beach and bars/restaurants 5 minutes walk away; a couple more cafes a few minutes further. Easy vehicle access to the property from the main road (it's before the road becomes one-way, so you don't need to go the long way around by the beach). Cerro is a pleasant village, but doesn't really have much of a shop (some essentials are available at Non Solo Caffè); Laveno-Mombello has all commerces including two supermarkets (Tigros, Coop). Things to note: Varese has a strict recycling program, some things are collected every other week. WiFi connection to your device is decent, but very slow connection to internet - no streaming, slow browsing. Washing machine is in the separate garage annex building - no noise in the main building but audible in the annex bedroom. Bring insect repellent in the summer.

Posto incantevole
Un posto incantevole. Sono stata in questa villa per un mese durante il lockdown del Covid 19. Casa grande tenuta benissimo e molto accogliente. Giardino grande con uccellini che cantavano di giorno e di notte, una vera musica melodica. Tutto perfetto. Lo raccomando a tutti se volete la pace ed il relax lontano dallo stress della città

Great place near lake front beach and non touristic village. Super house and garden.
We were a large family wanting to spend quality time together on the lake side. The house has everything you would need. The host Florence was helpful and made us feel very welcome. We had wonderful times together. Ideal for children big and small. We would love to go back again.

Super schöner Aufenthalt
Wir haben hier eine tolle Woche verbracht. Das Haus ist sehr sauber und groß. Der Garten ist ein Traum. Die Kappelle nebenan Leuten um 7 Uhr in der Früh und um 19 Uhr am Abend. Toller klang. Das Haus ist als Ausgangspunkt perfekt. Es haben 4 Autos im Hof Platz. Wir fühlten uns sehr sicher und können das Haus nur empfehlen.

Tolle Zeit am Lago Maggiore
Unser Aufenthalt in diesem Haus am Lago Maggiore über Ostern war fantastisch! Das Haus ist geräumig, toll eingerichtet, sauber und bietet jeglichen Komfort, den man sich wünschen kann. Die Außenanlagen sind wunderschön gepflegt, was unseren Aufenthalt (trotz Regen) noch angenehmer gemacht hat. Die Lage ist ideal für Ausflüge und der See bei einem kurzen Spaziergang gut zu erreichen. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter verlief reibungslos, und die gesamte Abwicklung war äußerst professionell. Wir können dieses wunderschöne Ferienhaus weiterempfehlen und freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Besuch!
