Casa Clivia - 3 br apartment with lake view

It was a lovely comfortable appartment with lovely views ove the lake from the front balcony. Quite old fashioned decor and it did feel authentically italian. Our 18 year old daughter called it ‘Nonna’s House’ and that’s how it felt, cosy and welcoming.

Not the property itself, but the walk into Stresa was 20 mins, and the walk back is more uphill, which we didn’t mind at all, but I think a bit closer would have been appreciated by all of us after a few days! Though all the excersise was good fir working off all the pizza and wine!

Beautiful apartment with a magnificent view

La vue, l'espace extérieur, la superficie de l'appartement, la propreté.

L'appartement est situé à Stresa, ce qui permet de visiter notamment les îles Borromée Il est grand et dispose d'un balcon avec une belle vue sur le lac. Giulia nous a donné de bons conseils sur les visites / restaurants à faire autour.

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable dans cet appartement spacieux, bien aéré et avec une terrasse offrant une belle vue sur le lac. C'est vraiment un plaisir d'y prendre ses repas. L'appartement est bien situé dans Stresa, à une dizaine de minutes de l'embarcadère pour les îles, mais assez haut pour pouvoir se garer facilement et avoir une vue intéressante. L'équipement est particulièrement complet et on peut vraiment cuisiner comme à la maison. J'ajoute que l'hôtesse Giulia est très sympathique et réactive, en bref je recommande ce logement et j'y reviendrai avec plaisir !

Le grand lit grince, mais ça ne nous a pas trop dérangé.

The apartment was clean and spacious- perfect for our family of four adults. The two bathrooms were a bonus! Waking up to the view over the lake was a dream- stunning views all day. Well appointed kitchen with everything we needed. The Moka pot and coffee provided were appreciated. Julia was an excellent host who picked us up from the station and dropped us back at the end of our stay. She made sure we were comfortable even getting extra blankets when the weather turned cold. A peaceful location.

This is not something we did not like but others might find the walk to cafes and shops not to their liking. We love having a short walk into town because then we don’t feel so guilty about eating all the great food and drinking Campari Spritzes!

Everything was amazing
