La Mascarana

Very clean inside and outside. Nice welcome pack. Practical layout and furniture. Pleasant host. Good views. Car essential.

No safe to secure passports etc. No way to lock the door from inside at night in very isolated area.

Toller Blick auf den Lago Maggiore vom Balkon. Alles ist so wie beschrieben und sehr gut gepflegt. Wir hatten sogar Pasta, Nudelsauce und weiteres zur Begrüßung im Apartment. Die Klimaanlage war sehr gut, da es recht heiß war. Die Hinweise für die Anreise waren extrem hilfreich und genauso wie beschrieben. Der Pool sieht toll aus, wurde gut von anderen Gästen genutzt und mehrfach während unseres kurzen Aufenthaltes gereinigt. Super schöner Aufenthalt.

Fijne ligging tussen mooie stadjes. En mooi uitzicht over het lago maggiore. Verder een fijn zwembad.

Wunderschönen Terasse über dem See. Hübsche Ferienwohnung mit guter Ausstattung.

Die Lage ist einfach nur traumhaft. Ideal für Ausflüge, immer der phantastische Blick auf den Lago und der tolle Pool!

Es gab nichts zu bemängeln.

Where Northern Italy's Soul Finds Its Home Sometimes the most winding roads lead to the most luminous discoveries. That's how we found ourselves navigating the emerald hills near Stresa on Lake Maggiore, when suddenly La Masarana appeared—a place that seems conjured by a novelist's imagination of perfect Italy. Elena, the young proprietor, has created more than four vacation apartments here. She's composed a jewel that fits so naturally into the landscape, you'd swear it had always been there. The building breathes that effortless elegance only Italian design achieves—contemporary yet timeless, familiar yet sophisticated enough to enchant the most discerning architectural publications. We dove straight into the infinity pool—crystalline and so impeccably maintained you can feel the care invested in every molecule of water. From here, a panorama unfolds that transforms each terrace into a box seat at nature's theater: birdsong mingles with gentle breezes through the trees, while the air carries the scent of what can only be described as an Italian gardener's paradise. Sunrise over Lake Maggiore from the dining table? Pure neurochemical bliss. The first light caresses your consciousness and grounds you instantly in the present. You smile involuntarily—a reflex triggered only by places this special. But La Masarana's true secret is Elena herself. Before we'd even arrived, she was feeding us insider tips via WhatsApp. For our first evening, she'd prepared everything needed for the perfect start. As we dined on the terrace, the illuminated pool before us and northern Italian serenity surrounding us, we knew: This is one of those rare places you'll return to again and again. La Masarana is more than accommodation—it's a feeling. The feeling of being among friends, in a landscape that transforms every angle into poetry. Once you've been here, you understand why some journeys never really end. @lamascarana ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
