Fabulous location

We loved our stay in San Mamete. The flat was clean and well-equipped, and the views are stunning. I did a fair bit of research before booking, and I think it would be hard to find better (or even equal) views for the price. So much to see in the local area (Castello was a particular favorite), but also a lovely place to relax and do very little. Being able to go for swim in the lake directly from the private dock was a real treat. Lots of options for eating - dinner lakeside at Hotel Stella d'Italia was wonderful, and the bread and pastries from Maurizio's were delicious. Had several meals and watched football at Caffe del Viaggiatore, lovely food and good fun. Also enjoyed great pizza from Pronto Pizza in Porlezza. Samik was very helpful with info and suggestions - one of which was renting a boat from Giuliano at Gobbi Rent in Cima, fantastic fun! Overall, we had gorgeous scenery, delicious food, and fabulous weather. Very much hoping to return at some future point!

Gelungener Urlaub

Wo soll man anfangen? So stellen wir uns einen klasse Urlaub vor. Tolles Appartement in einer Top Lage, gehobene Ausstattung zu einem Top Preis. Alles hat uns gefallen. Die Unterkunft direkt am See , der schon so oft erwähnte Ausblick, ein wunderbarer und entspannender Urlaub in einer fantastischen Umgebung. San Mamete ist ein typisches Italienisches Städtchen mit viel Charme. Die Einheimischen sind sehr hilfreich und nett. Es ist ein idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge rund um die Italienischen Seen. Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit und können dieses tolle Appartement auf jeden Fall wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

Fantastic apartment with amazing views

What a beautiful apartment with the most amazing views from the balconies in both the lounge & the bedroom. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need & having English TV channels was an added bonus as it was sometimes nice just to sit & relax in the evenings when you got back exhausted after long days out. San Mamete is a great base for exploring the surrounding lakes and driving into areas of Switzerland which are beautiful. It's a small village but it has everything you need and we enjoyed our time in the Kings Pub with the locals ! We had a fantastic holiday and the apartment and location made it perfect, thank you Samik. Keith & Julie Francis

Our stay in San Mamete

We had a lovely holiday in San Mamete. The appartement was absolutely beautiful. Everything you might need was available. The view over de the lake is very very nice. The village San Mamete is small and quiet, but Porlezza and Lugano are only ten minutes drive away. Our vacation was PERFECT!!

About the host

Hosted by Samik

My wife and I live just outside London in a semi rural location and work in the City in Financial Services. Life in the city is fast paced and we enjoy the hustle and bustle that comes with being close to a truly cosmopolitan world city. Work is demanding so when not at work we enjoy unwinding with our many friends in some of our favorite locations. Ideally it would be a place that has a balance of peace & quiet, breathtaking scenery and with easy access to good bars, restaurants, shops, galleries and theatres.

Why they chose this property

The Italian lakes offer a heady combination of spectacular scenery, grand villas and gardens, beautiful quaint villages in time warps, warm and friendly local people, great food and easy access. It has all the ingredients that make super holiday for us.
Having visited several times as tourists we fell in love with Lake Lugano. Finding San Mamete and Residenze Valsolda was completely accidental and unplanned, but we could not let such an opportunity pass us by. Even after all these years, our hearts still skip a beat when we first arrive for our holiday and ache when we say goodbye to San Mamete. This place has truly cast its spell on us.

What makes this property unique

Each of the Italian Lakes has its own character. We love Lake Lugano for its intimate and unspoilt feel. It is centrally located to explore nearby Lake Como and Lake Maggiore. Milan, Como and Lugano are three beautiful chic cities with all that we can ask for.
San Mamete is one of the prettiest villages on the Lake with its own fabulous bakery/grocery store, lively pubs, great restaurants and pretty much all amenities. You could simply relax in San Mamete without setting a foot outside the village or use it as a base to explore the Italian Lakes.
Residenze Valsolda is set directly on the lake with staggering views across to San Salvatore and Lugano from all the rooms. The villa is very well maintained and the apartment itself is cosy, sumptious and well equipped. Letting was never in mind when we started the refurbishment so all furniture, gadgets, fixtures and fittings are of a standard not usually associated with rental properties.
Our guest reviews sum up quite well why this place makes such a great location for a holiday.
