Villa la Serra, villa rental in Lesa, Lake Maggiore. Villa La Serra is the perfect place for those seeking absolute relaxation but also want a great location, privacy and the opportunity for some good excursions. Here you have a walk into town, a lake beach, a pool, loads of space and a fabulous price. It's perfect really. The villa has been recently restored and refurnished and has all the comforts of home, with the original greenhouse, a rather large one, being converted into a sitting room and dining room. With its large swinging casement windows loads of light come pouring into the room, and the views of the gardens are quite impressive. The property is quite substantial. You get quite a value with this rental.
A large walled property with some amazing old trees. This is an in-town rental where you can cross the street and take a walking path into the center of the village (albeit small) to shop and eat. On the property walking the expansive lawn to the lake is your own pool, sauna, WC and shower, and over the wall is the lake where you have a beach. We would like to say its private, but all beaches in Italy are public. It is a soft granular beach combined with pebbles and river stones. When going into the lake one needs to wear swim shoes. Make sure to bring them. There is also a boat launch. The large pool next to the water has a grass deck and small pool house. In the summer it gets easily 5 hours direct sunlight as the sun arcs from the water's horizon, overhead and sets over the house west of the pool.
Perfect for: Family seeking privacy, town and pool.

Maggiore straddles the Lombardy-Piemonte border and reaches into southern Switzerland providing a new dimension to travel while staying on the lake, and in the region. MaggioreÕs development as a holiday destination began in 1800 when the Simplon road from Genova to Milano skirted its shores. Making the lake a natural resting spot. Maggiore is unique unto itself as it has a more peaceful and subdued demeanor. It is neither as resort-like as Garda, nor does it have the mountain views of Como or the petite ambience of Orta. But Maggiore has the advantage of easy access to the ring road that connects to Switzerland, and the Autostrada which rubs north/south. Two castles that occupy small islands off-shore deserve closer inspection: Somma Lombardo hosts one at the southern end of Lago Maggiore and Angera on the eastern shore hosts a 13th century castle that is still in the hands of the original Borromeo family whom "owned" the southern half of Maggiore during older times. From Maggiore you can drive over to Lake Orta through a low mountain pass in about 45 minutes. It makes for a nice day trip and Orta is one sweet lake. Malpensa is about 45 minutes from mid lake as well. Lesa is a nice lakeside resort situated on the western shore of lake Maggiore between Stresa and Arona. Alimentary shops, restaurants and coffee shops as well as the chemistry and the post office are located at walking distance.
