Lovely villa with amazing views
We stayed 4 nights but wished it had been longer. The villa is lovely with 180 degree views of the lake. It is very well equipped and has a comfortable king size bed. There are good restaurants nearby.

Great view and location
The property was impressive. Very nice accommodations with great views from any angle. One thing that we missed, however, was a reference manual introducing us to and explaining the ins and outs of the property. Fortunately the owner (Wolfgang) was available and responsive by email. Overall a very nice place to stay.

Excellent experience!
The amazing views and gardens of this house make this the most beautiful spot we have ever stayed. There are many locations in and around the house to sit and enjoy the 180 degree view. Ristorante Del Pellegrino a few minutes walk away was our favorite. Say hi to Carlo!

Email Sent to Owner Upon Check-in
Oh My God (OMG). Just checked into the Villa. Simply amazing. I love the decor. Very personal and distinctly Austrian. Love the stone patterned flooring and the views. Thank you so much keeping it fully decorated and so cozy. Very trustful. I wish we could do the same for our vacation places elsewhere. Had a little trouble locating the Villa at first, but I ‘over-thought’ it. It was the first bend off the highway. Very simple. I believe I’ve located all the keys and switches. The heat was on, so thank you. Also, it looks like the alarm is off. Wonderful stay. Thanks again, ******* Oh mein Gott (OMG). Ich habe gerade in die Villa eingecheckt. Einfach unglaublich. Ich liebe die Einrichtung. Sehr persönlich und prägnant österreichisch. Ich liebe den steingemusterten Bodenbelag und die Aussicht. Vielen Dank, dass Sie es voll dekoriert und so gemütlich gehalten haben. Sehr vertrauensvoll. Ich wünschte, wir könnten dasselbe für unsere Urlaubsorte anderswo tun. Hatte zuerst ein wenig Probleme, die Villa zu finden, aber ich habe es "überlegt". Es war die erste Kurve abseits der Autobahn. Sehr einfach. Ich glaube, ich habe alle Tasten und Schalter gefunden. Die Hitze war an, also danke. Außerdem sieht es so aus, als ob der Alarm ausgeschaltet ist. Ich freue mich auf den Aufenthalt. Danke noch einmal

Traumhaft schöner Aufenthalt
Das Haus ist zauberschön! Individuell und liebevoll eingerichtet. Der Blick vom Wohnzimmer auf den See ein Traum! Die Terrasse wohl der schönste Platz am Luganer See. Der abgeschlossene und uneinsehbare Garten schön gestaltet und auch sehr praktisch mit unserem Labrador. Es war soo schön!
