Soggiorno piacevolissimo
Abbiamo passato un soggiorno molto piacevole in questo appartamento. Bilocale ampio ed accogliente in grado di soddisfare le necessità di base. La terrazza esterna aggiunge un gran valore all'appartamento permettendo di mangiare/giocare/leggere all'aperto. Per i bambini a pochissimi passi c'è una bellissima area giochi dove i miei figli amavano passare del tempo. Loro non vedono l'ora di tornare! Non ho avuto il piacere di conoscere personalmente i proprietari, solo via email. Avevo commesso un errore nella prenotazione e mi hanno guidata con pazienza e disponibilità. Ho incontrato Adriana che si occupa di check in e check out: persona gentile e deliziosa. Grazie di tutto, è stata una vacanza indimenticabile!

Very clean, quiet location, well placed
Adriana was very helpful (housekeeper) when we arrived. The apartment was very clean and although small, very well equipped. The location is quiet and if the weather is nice and sunny (though not while we were there), there is a good sized veranda to sip wine. The Veranda gets sun only in the late afternoon. 2 mins walk to a supermarket which was also quite well stocked with essentials so fantastic for that just arrived shop. The route down the mountain to Luino was like doing the Monte Carlo Ralley one way but our sat nav also took us on a more sedate route with less bends and turns. There is a Carrefour in Luino for the major shop (only 10 mins away from the apartment). We tried to visit the Chocolate factory in Caslano (CH) but were told only open May to September. We then visited the small 'zoo' nearby which was quite a disappointment. High admission fee for an extremely small zoo with only monkeys, ducks, turtles, birds, guinnea pigs and one lion and his lioness. It took us all of 30 mins to do the rounds, feed the animals and then leave. Unfortunately, the majority of our stay was wet and dull but I would imagine on a nice sunny day, walking along the front of Lago Maggiore would be lovely. 9 out of 10 for the accommodation though (apart from the upstairs neighbour who liked to leave at 7am and slam the heavy front door as hard as possible it would seem, making getting a holiday lie in impossible!!).

Beautiful Location on the border of Italy and Switzerland
The property is small, clean and compact but large enough to squeeze in 2 adults and 2 teenage girls. The balcony is large and west facing, so benefits from shade in the morning and the warm afternoon sunshine. Many beautiful lakeside towns are within easy travelling distance and Milan park and ride allows a full day out in the city without the hassle of city driving or parking. We visited Lugano, Locarno Maccagno, Luino, Milan and Laveno. We enjoyed the scenery everywhere but nothing surpassed the spectacular views from the cable-car descent in Laveno -an adrenaline experience not to be missed! Thank you for a fantastic and very memorable holiday. Mears family from Wales - August 2017

Bella mountain retreat
We stayed for a week from 6-13 September 16. First impression was how clean and fresh smelling the apartment was, many thanks to Adriana. During our stay we visited some of the recommended places, including Bellinzona and Maccagno. We ate at the restaurant in the village, which was good, but also walked towards Agna to find the restaurant Smeraldo. It is about 1km away and can be accessed on foot, with care. Lunch was delicious. A few basic Italian words are helpful as this is in the heart of rural Italy, which suited us perfectly. We hope to return again for another trip.
