Villa Martelli

Garden. Big apartment. Clean. Nice view. Location is good.

Nothing.

Beautiful building. Lovely terrasse and garden. Possible to swim in the lake just across the road. Nice location for trips to the north and south of the lake. Walking distance to a few bars and restaurants.

Authentic, old and beautiful furnitures but too many for a holiday apartment. And good cleaning difficult due to the many furnitures and textiles. Fireplace in the bathroom.

Location, historical building, gardens

Never met the hosts. Had to ask guests how to get access to apartment.

Location , tranquility of the garden to enjoy the views of the lake

Kitchenette was dated and basic

Well maintained authentic house and the garden. Beautiful view from the windows and balconies. Very convenient location to explore the lake and the surroundings.

Quite noisy street during the weekends if you are light sleeper. On the workdays it's ok.

I received about 15 e-mails over a week or so prior to the stay asking me to fill in my personal information for the stay, and it was way too many e-mails for my taste.

The property is very spacious indoors and it is directly across the street from Lago Maggiore. The outdoor garden in the back of the building is very beautiful and a gem for this property. The location is great for walks along the lake front and it is an easy five to ten minute drive to either Stresa or to Arona. There are coffee shops in the area so easy to get breakfast. Grocery store is about a five minute drive away towards Arona.

We stayed three nights in early April and the nights were quite cool. The heat only stayed on overnight for one of the three nights that we were there. The blankets on the beds were sufficient for adults but this was not good for small children and infants. There definitely is a need for a better system to keep the children’s room warm.

The location was excellent, the view was beautiful (the room had a view towards the lake), the apartment was quite big and comfortable to be in. It was quite easy to board a ship (the place where you can board is very close to the building itself) and visit the islands nearby. The garden in the back was also quite nice.

Some of the furniture is older or authentic and adds to the atmosphere, but some of the furniture (an arm-chair for example) was a bit old, in a bad way.

Amazing
