- chiara (10/5): Ottima posizione, struttura pulita ed accogliente. Unico neo potrebbe essere il parcheggio in alta stagione. La colazion -
- Marion (9/5): Fantastische Unterkunft mit Seeblick - Super Frühstück, sehr nette Gastgeberin, mega Ausblick auf den See. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt!
- Michael (9/5): -
- Ali Sina (9/5): -

- Fabienne (10/5): Es war ein super aufenthalt wir werden noch mals dort hin gehen. - Es war sehr schön und sehr sauber.
Die Hausherrin war sehr lieb und zuvorkommend.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
- Michael (9/5): Sehr gut, Super Gastgeberin, sehr nett, Highlight war die Lage (Garten mit Blick) und Frühstück - Das Frühstück war außerordentlich gut! Sehr reichhaltig, frisch und mit allerlei Variationen an Gebäck, Müsli, Obst, Joghurt, Säfte, Milch, Kaffee usw.. Die Lage war auch sehr gut, der Garten hat einen herrlichen Blick auf den See. Bloss unser Raum (Family Room - hat nur Aussicht nach hinten gehabt, i.e. kein See Blick). Bettbezug, Kissenbezug und Handtücher haben etwas abgestanden gerochen (nach Wäsche nicht richtig getrocknet)...
- Oliver (9/5): Absolute Erholung konnten wir in dieser Unterkunft erleben - Diese Unterkunft, und das wussten wir ja schon durch die Beschreibung und Bewertungen der "Anderen", ist wirklich toll. Großes Zimmer, sehr großes gegenüber liegendes Badezimmer, toller Seeblick, super schöne Umgebung und recht ruhige Lage obwohl ja die Straße unterhalb verläuft. Das Frühstück gigantische Auswahl. Wir behalten die Unterkunft in bester Erinnerung und kamen voll zufrieden wieder zu Hause an. Wer den Lago oder auch andere Seen kennt weiß um das Problem mit dem Parken. Wir durften direkt auf dem Gelände parken. Etwas zirkeln war nötig, hat mich aber als guter Autofahrer in keinster Weise belastet.
- Virginia (10/5): -
- olivier (9/5): - L'emplacement avec une vue splendide sur le lac Majeur. L'hôtesse adorable et disponible. La chambre spacieuse et confortable. Le petit déjeuner très varié et hyper copieux. Absolument rien.
- claudia (7/5): - Sehr nette Eigentümer haben sich immer um alles gekümmert Der Ausblick über den See ist wirklich sehr schön. Und zwar die Straße zu laut, die an unserem Schlafzimmerfenster vorbei gehen konnte, dadurch leider nicht so gut schlafen.
- Charlotte (9/5): Het was fantastisch! - De locatie was echt fantastisch. Enorm mooi uitzicht over het meer. Ook het huis zelf geeft een heel idyllisch gevoel. En het ontbijt was perfect. Niks eigenlijk, maar als ik iets zou moeten noemen is het misschien iets ongemakkelijk om over de gang naar de badkamer te moeten.
- Jonathan (8/5): -
- Alexandro (8/5): - La posizione molto vicina al Lago, la struttura è pulita e molto curata con un bel giardino e jacuzzi con vista lago. Anche la colazione era varia con dolce e salato. L'host si è dimostrato gentile e attento. Abbiamo un po' sofferto della mancanza dell'aria condizionata (c'era comunque un ventilatore in camera) e non avere il bagno in camera non è comodissimo a nostro avviso.
- Nicole (8/5): -
- Marciniak (7/5): - L emplacement
la gentillesse de l hôte
l accès à la cuisine et le fait qu il y ai des boissons fraîches ainsi que des glaces à disposition moyennant un supplément
Grande chambre Il faisait très chaud et le ventilateur ne suffisait vraiment pas pour rafraîchir...
Fenêtre ouverte
On écoutait beaucoup la circulation des voitures
Beaucoup de choix pour le petit déjeuner mais pas de "fait maison "
- Felix (10/5): - The place is awesome! A wonderful view over the lake, a green garden, place to sit.
Paola is a great host, very friendly and kind.
Even in a trouble situation she was helpful.
Keep in mind, that you need a way to communicate with her via telephone on the arrival. The ways around Lago Maggiore take time. So communication is a key to a stressless arrival.
- Céline (9/5): Bel endroit à découvrir en famille - L'accueil de notre hôte. Merci Paola pour votre accompagnement et votre gentillesse. Le gîte est très bien situé et offre une belle vue sur le lac.
- ajay (10/5): -
- Rute (9/5): Vista incrível e acolhedor - A localização não podia ser melhor, com vista incrível sobre o lago. O pequeno almoço muito bom e a anfitriã muito dedicada e simpática.
- Arvid (10/5): We had a wonderful one night stay here! The house has a spectacular view and a warm and friendly fee -
- Caroll (10/5): Exceptional -
- Добровольська (6/5): Pleasant -
- Laurens (9/5): Wonderful stay in a true Lago Maggiore setting: Lake style villa, amazing view and comfortable stay! - Wonderfull B&B: friendly host, tasty & elaborate breakfast, and amazing location with fantastic lake view. The kitchen can also be used during the day and you have plenty of possibilities to enjoy the view with outside tables and chairs.
Car parking is available only 150 meter away from the B&B and a couple of good restaurants are just a few minutes walking. A couple of very small things that are of course a bit part of the B&B experience. The doors are not so thick therefore you here the hallway. As the breakfast is in the kitchen you are lacking some "privacy" in the morning
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing place, even more beautiful than shown on pictures. Room for 4 persons was very spacious and cozy, looks like from fairytale. Wide choice for breakfast. Very nice and helpful host. Best accomodation during our holiday.
- Linda (8/5): Very good - The breakfast was great! Lots to eat to start the day!
- Sebastian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yvonne (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful host Paola. Always available by phone or email.
Breakfast fabulous Local bus service is rubbish. Doesn't turn up and taxis expensive.
- Ron (10/5): Amazing! Super recommended - Paola is wonderful! Such a lovely person. Speaks great English. Recommended on sights and beaches. Let us put our lugagge before check in and keep it after. Brought us a fan when we requested as there was a weird heat wave in Italy. Our kids enjoyed the small pool at the yard. The view is amazing and it is literaly 4 minutes walk to the beach, as close as it gets. High value for money. No mosquito nets. We received incense that helped alot. Bring mosquito spray, the entire north part of Italy has them in the summer.
- Elena (9/5): Lovely with deficits - Creative breakfast, spacious room, comfy bed, very helpful owner Over-decoraded, including scented arrangements in bedroom and bathroom, bathroom not attached to bedroom but across the hallway, early checkout
- Antonio (8/5): Very good -
- Duygu (9/5): Superb -
- Laurence (10/5): Exceptional - We have a wonderful journey un Holy Lake, Paola was very nice. The lake's view was amazing.
We also like the breakfast with a very large choise, fresh fruit, pancakes, bread, cookies, and so on...
Grazie mille Paola. Nothing
- Мария (5/5): Passable -
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Great view and very friendly owner
- Katerina (10/5): Exceptional - The landloard was very friendly and extremely helpful. Wonderful breakfast selection including fresh fruit, cheese board, pancakes, yogurts incl. lactose free, variety of sweet pastry. Beautiful location with fantastic view. Large room and spacious bathroom.
- Gemma (10/5): Beautiful relaxing stay - stunning views. peaceful location yet 2 mins from restaurants / ferry. beautiful house.
- Ariane (5/5): Beautiful location but left a bad taste - Beautiful house. Very nice garden with tables and benches for free use. View directly overlooks the lake. Good breakfast with lots to choose from. Possibility to prepare your own hot egg dishes. Towels smelled extremely mouldy, esp. when wet. No ventilation nor window in bathroom to improve situation. Bed linen smelled strongly of sweat, the smell of which permeates throughout the whole room eventually.
- Elizabeth (8/5): Attractive accomodation with kind host and lovely breakfast but best to travel with a car. - The breakfast was superb with everything you could want and as much as you could eat. The host was very kind and collected us from the nearby town as we didn't have a car. The bed was very comfy and the bathroom was lovely - very big and with all toiletries and towels you would need. The restaurants nearby were very good. The other guests were very nice and it was good to chat over breakfast as the kitchen is communal. There is coffee available all day and an honesty bar for drinks which was good. The family room was next to the side road which was cobbled, so noisy when cars went up and down. There is the side road which bend round and the main road and a hotel car park between the property and the lake but the pictures make it look like lakeside but the garden was nice to sit and look out over the lake. The pool is very small and next to the driveway where cars park. The boat doesn't call at Ghiffa until 1st June but we were not aware of this and the bus is infrequent so you really need a car in May.
- Diane (10/5): Exceptional - The host was very kind and reactive. We were late because of the traffic and she was comprehensive.
The parking area is near to the house.
The bedroom was very comfortable and the decoration was cute.
You can find everything you need (towels, soap) and you can also use the common kitchen.
Bonus for the breakfast which was bigger than expected. And we enjoyed meeting other guests (but you don't have to).
- Eyal (9/5): Superb - Great breakfast, very reach! The staff was nice and wellcoming. The bathroom was outside the room, and we had to go threw the corridor which is public area.
- Berk (9/5): Superb -
