Relaxing Ghiffa Lakeside Villa
Lovely stay at this property right on the lake. The villa itself was spacious and gorgeous. We had 2 families.. 4 adults and 3 teens, and there was space left over for more people. The property had lovely views of the lake from the property and many of the rooms. We could have just stayed at the villa the whole time and been perfectly content with the views, the villa, and swimming in the lake. There were several good restaurants in walking distance. Some of them were up the hill, and Google maps showed you had to walk on the road, but really there are staircases that are shortcuts to get to the restaurants that doesn't show the maps.
Unfortunately, the lake levels were significantly higher than was pictured, as the water came all the way to the wall. But my trip was in June, and it was affected by the snowmelt. The only thing I didn't care for was getting in and out of the villa complex. It's a moderately busy road and hard to see coming out. But that's a general Italy lake district problem, as many of the roads are narrow (and windy). We ended up walking to the restaurants and lake ferry, but generally needed a car to get anywhere else.
Overall, I really enjoyed the stay and would recommend to others to try.
