Tolle Unterkunft
Die Unterkunft mit mehreren Aussensitzplätzen bietet eine fantastische Aussicht über den Lago Maggiore und ist ideal zum Entspannen unter Palmen! Die Wohnlage ist ruhig und dennoch ist die nächste Bäckerei in wenigen Minuten zu Fuss erreichbar.

VRBO Advertisement and some information didn't match the actual outcome of this rental
The cottage was quaint and clean, and views of Lake Maggiore were beautiful, however, the directions to the cottage could have been much more detailed. There were no instructions and information about the keys and our rooms. Thank goodness someone was staying in the other apartment and she was kind enough to help us out. In the VRBO advertisement on the Internet it listed towels and linens were included. Later the owner sent an email asking if we would need towels and sheets. I responded yes (I didn't pack towels and sheets for my European vacation) and I was charged €50+ for one set of the skimpiest towels and one fitted sheet. I informed the owner that it clearly states towels and linens provided, but she went ahead and deducted the amount from my deposit anyway.

Kein Haus, sondern nur verteilte, einzelne Zimmer mit Außentoilette
Das Gebäude besteht aus einzelnen Zimmern, die nicht verbunden sind. Jedes Zimmer muss separat abgeschlossen werden. Bad und Toilette sind ebenfalls in einem separaten Zimmer. Von der Küche geht es über krude Steinstufen um das Haus herum zu den anderen Zimmern. Trittsicherheit erforderlich! Abends nicht beleuchtet! Keine Info zur Nutzung Boiler Bad oder Kamin. Kein Mülleimer vorhanden. Bei unserer Anreise gab es Bettzeug nur im oberen Schlafzimmer. Mußten nachfragen und es selbst suchen/beziehen. Bei 50 EUR Gebühr für Bettwäsche frech. Nicht zu empfehlen. Lauferei um das Gebäude ist nervig.

Traumhafte Woche
Wir durften eine traumhafte Woche in zauberhafter Atmosphäre genießen. Der Blick auf den Lago ist unübertroffen. Die Aufteilung der Räume hat uns zugegebener Maßen anfangs irritiert, aber ich kann nur jedem raten, sich darauf einzulassen, dann kann man in diesem Haus einen wunderbaren und erholsamen Urlaub verbringen. Wir freuen uns schon auf das nächste Mal.
