Nice stay

The flat was nice and good location. Would book again. Living room is facing the street, though, and traffic noise can be very loud especially on weekends mainly due to motorcyclists and the single glassed windows. Bedroom window goes to the back and is plenty quiet.

Wij huurden het appartement met twee personen. Het appartementengebouw is gebouwd in 1959/1960 en gelegen centraal in het dorp maar pal aan een zeer drukke doorgaande weg, de SS69. Het balkon is klein en biedt, door de airco-unit, plaats aan maximaal 3 personen. Het uitzicht op het meer is beperkt door de bomen langs de parkeerplaats. Gebruik van het balkon is door de drukke weg niet comfortabel. Het verkeersgeluid dringt door de niet isolerende enkele beglazing door in het appartement. Gezien de rijstijl en de liefde voor herrie makende voertuigen van de Italianen niet echt prettig. Er zijn niet twee slaapkamers, zoals vermeld in de advertentie. Er is een aparte slaapkamer, gelegen aan de achterzijde van het appartement. Ook hier is verkeersgeluid hoorbaar maar iets minder dan aan de voorzijde. 's Nachts wordt het verkeer iets minder, dus redelijk goed kunnen slapen. Een punt van aandacht voor de verhuurder is de veiligheid. Er bevinden zich meerdere loszittende wandcontactdozen in de diverse ruimtes. Dat in combinatie met een defecte kookpit in het gaskooktoestel en het advies om steeds de gaskraan dicht te draaien na gebruik geeft geen goed gevoel. Wij hebben overigens het kooktoestel niet gebruikt. Voordelen van dit appartement: ligging centraal in het dorp, ruimte is voldoende voor maximaal 2 personen en/of 2 personen een een kind, strandje ligt om de hoek. Nadelen: ligt aan een dag en nacht zeer drukke en lawaaige weg, bouwkundig toe aan wat opfrissing.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Oct, 2026
Thank you for your review. We would like to note a few points that surprised us: 1) You wrote that "the balcony is small and, due to the air conditioning unit, can accommodate a maximum of 3 people." You are quite right: that is precisely why we described it as a "balcony" rather than a "terrace" in the online advertising. 2) We did not understand what you meant by "the driving style of Italians and their passion for noisy vehicles." 3) Contrary to what you wrote, the online advertising clearly states that there are NOT two bedrooms. Instead, there is ONE bedroom (with a single armchair-bed) and a double sofa bed in the living room. Total: sleeping space for 5 guests 4) It is true that one of the four stovetop burners is faulty; however, the defect (it sometimes fails to ignite properly) poses no danger whatsoever. Furthermore, there is an automatic mechanism that cuts off the gas supply to the burner in the event of improper use. In any case, the minor defect is clearly marked in the kitchen with a sign in both Italian and English, complete with photos and instructions on how to handle it 5) The recommendation to always close the gas valve after use is not due to safety concerns, but is simply standard practice for Italian families with gas stoves. Regardless, the entire apartment is equipped with safety devices to detect gas and fumes, as well as a fire extinguisher and a first-aid kit. All this equipment is certified and periodically inspected in accordance with Italian regulations; it is clearly marked within the flat with signs featuring photos and text in both Italian and English, explaining how to read the device readings and the procedures to follow if needed 6) What you refer to as the "small beach right around the corner" is a public lakeside beach, approximately 70 meters long and 5–12 meters deep, depending on the lake's current water level. The beach is located next to a children's playground. Both the beach and the playground are about 50 meters from the house, as clearly stated in the online advertising. This "small beach" is one of three public beaches in the village, all within about 300 meters of the house 7) The house is neither new nor old. It is a standard 1950s home, furnished with pieces that include furniture dating back to the 1920s. We believe these features are appreciated by tourists who wish to experience Italian culture and traditions at a price significantly lower than that of hotels or more modern homes that lack such local history and character. When considering the price, please bear in mind that, due to weather conditions, August is the peak month for tourism among both Italian and European visitors.

Kinderfreundliche Wohnung

Wir waren mit 3 Kindern in der Wohnung und uns hat es an nichts gefehlt: Spielsachen in der Wohnung, Spielplatz, Supermarkt und schöner Strand fast direkt vor der Tür. Das Schlafzimmer zum Hinterhof ist total ruhig, aber im Wohnzimmer (2. Schlafzimmer) sollte man nicht lärmempfindlich sein (Straßenlärm und die Bar mit lauter Musik bis Mitternacht). Vielen Dank an die sehr netten Gastgeber!

Sehr schön

Daniela und Roberto sind sehr nette und freundliche Gastgeber und die Kommunikation sehr gut und unkompliziert. Die Wohnung war sauber und die Betten gemütlich. Super war die Klimaanlage im Wohnzimmer. Die Lage ist an für sich ganz gut, die Aussicht auf den See ist leider durch große Bäume sehr eingeschränkt. Abends sind öfters Veranstaltungen mit Livemusik auf dem Marktplatz. Es kann daher ziemlich laut werden. Die Wohnung liegt im zweiten Stock, es gibt einen Fahrstuhl, ist zwar sehr langsam, aber gut um das Gepäck nicht schleppen zu müssen. Trotzdem sind noch 10 Stufen bis zur Wohnung, für Gehbehinderte zu beachten. Der Supermarkt ist gleich um die Ecke. Die Strände sind sehr schön und ebenfalls schnell zu erreichen. Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen und waren zufrieden. Vielen Dank für die schönen Tage

Wohnung in toller Lage

Wir hatten schon vorab eine sehr nette Kommunikation mit den Vermietern dieser Wohnung. Sie haben sich um vieles vorab gekümmert um uns einen tollen Urlaub zu ermöglichen (Bett für unsere kleine Tochter etc.). Die Übergabe der Wohnung durch die Schwester hat wunderbar funktioniert. Die Wohnung ist wie beschrieben, typisch italienisch und eher altmodisch, allerdings war die Sauberkeit aus unserer Sicht nicht ganz perfekt (sind sehr pingelig) und es waren uns fast zu viele persönliche Dinge in der Wohnung. Die Lage ist super, direkt am Wasser und Restaurants, eine Eisdiele und Supermarkt nebenan.

Super entspannend, mitten im Dorf, 50m zum Strand :-)

Für uns war die Ferienwohnung in der lebendigen Dorfmitte perfekt und der Urlaub darum super erholsam! Wie schon andere geschrieben haben, sind Daniela und Roberto sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und gaben uns Tipps zur Umgebung! Das mobile Internet war sehr gut und wir fanden immer einen Parkplatz in der Nähe der Wohnung. Aufgrund der zentralen guten Lage, sind wir sehr wenig Auto gefahren. Sehr schön war unser Ausflug zu den borromäischen Inseln, insbesondere zur Isola Bella und der Fischerinsel, mit der Fähre von Laveno nach Intra und anderen Booten zu den drei verschiedenen Inseln. Gerne wieder!

original italiänischer Stil, direkt am Strand, mitten im Dorf

Die Lage ist sehr gut geeignet für Familien. Direkt am Marktplatz, mitten im Dorf. Apotheke, Bäcker, Post, Strand, Eisdiele Cafe und Supermarkt und alle Restaurants sind im Umkreis von 50 bis 150 m zu erreichen. Das Auto kann also für Besorgungen vor Ort stehen bleiben! Der Strand vorm Haus ist der beste weit und breit. Der angrenzende Spielplatz ist geeignet. Das Haus ist insgesamt sehr sauber und gut verarbeitet. Es stammt von 1959 und wurde bestens vom Architekten geplant (1959). Das merkt man daran, dass das Wohnen sehr angenehm ist. (Haushaltsbalkon, Küchenbalkon, Hausarbeit) Die Möbel und die Küchenausstattung sind allesamt sehr sauber und gut sortiert. Sie sind weitestgehend originalgetreu italiänisch und klassisch bis antik gehalten. Uns gefiel das sehr gut. Bei Alltagsfragen sind die Gastgeber sehr bemüht unkompliziert zu helfen. Die Kommunikation lief sehr gut (englisch). Insgesamt hatten wir einen guten Aufenthalt.
