The view of the lake does not disappoint. The house is a 1 min walk to the bakery and every morning there is fresh bread and croissants. There is a pub and espresso shop all within 1 min too. It is helpful once you figure the bus system it is the easiest and least expensive way to get around. If you need anything you can call Sarah anytime and she can help with travel around the area.
Communications with Sara was very easy and she was there waiting for us when we arrived. A very friendly helpful host. The house had everything we needed, well kitted out kitchen and the beds were clean and tidy. I discovered on our last day when doing a quick tidy up that the wicker seat under the cushion on one of the dinning rooms chairs had given way. I hope we didn\'t do that. The view from the rear terrace doesn\'t cease to take your breath away, it is truly beautiful and I think you would struggle to find a more peaceful spot on any of the Italian lakes. The location is perfect for exploring both Lake Lugano and Lake Como. 15 minutes takes you to Menaggio where you can hop on a ferry to Varenna or Bellagio or both quite easily with a central lake pass. Also lots of lovely walks and Villas to explore on the Italian side of the border. Towards Switzerland we checked out Mount Bre (drive up) Gandria, Mount Generoso and the Bellinzona castles. Everything was perfect including the weather. Thank you Sara, top marks!
