What Guests Have To Say


A Little on the Region
The location is peaceful and private, yet also convenient. Meina is 800 downhill: there, you can find grocery shops and restaurants and there is also the possibility to order and take out delicious meals at the nearby gastronomic shop. The ferry to the other lake towns and islands docks, the beach and a sports club with tennis courts and a pool are a 5 minute drive from the villa. Two golf courses are within 10-15 minutes' drive, with several other less than an hour away. Just 10 km north is the town of Stresa. Arona is 4 km south while Switzerland is just half an hour away.

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. Touring Ideas:
