Charming Villa Francione - Private gardens and stunning views

Dear Peter, thanks for your kind words and for your stay. Villa Francione with its views will be there for you, and for a change, just take the train the other direction and it reaches the mountains! Next year is for hikes ;) Best Regards, Gabriele

Well, you are always welcome at our property, year after year, it will always be a pleasure to have you with all your family at Villa Francione.

Dear Lukas, thanks for your nice words and I will forward your message to the Villa Manager. She is really great. Well about the view, what can I say, I feel lucky to own the great Villa Francione by Arialdo Daverio. With you all the best, Gabriele

Dear Patricia, Thanks for your kind review! We always strive to give out guests the best and your great presence allowed us to give our best. We will do our best to provide more amenities to our guests, unfrotunately sometimes it's not possible as some items or foods might be inconevient for some our our guets due to personal allergies (bread), beliefs (milk) or different hygenics habits (shared soap). However, sorry for that, there is no excure for missing Extra Virgin Olive Oil. You should have told us! We would have immediatelly provided some from my personal reserve. Thanks again or your stay.

Dear Noa, thanks for your stay at Villa Francione and your nice words. The view is indeed something special. Villa Francione designer, Ing. Arialdo Davero, spent one month sitting in the garden before figuring out the best stop where he would built his work. The result leaves guest speechless. On our side we just humbly try to have guests be happy, with simple things. Thanks for being part of this. All the best, Gabriele

Dear Craig, It was real pleasure to host you and your friends. Everybody was pleased by your presence here and having a great professional like you appreciating Villa Francione is, for me, a great honor. I am sure we will find also an occasion to have a walk on the surrounding mountains together, so I can show you more of the marvels that the area offers. I wish you all the best and remember that the lake will always be here waiting for you :) Warmest wishes, Gabriele

Dear Carolin, Thanks for your nice review. As you mentioned at Villa Francione we do everything to make our guests comfortable and have them feel at home. Unfortunately we can't control mosquitos, but we can control the windows! You could just close the double-glazing soundproofed back windows of Villa Francione. Those would not only have prevented mosquitos from getting in, but also the "noise" from the 2 trains passing in the evening. However, I am really sorry for your childred to be bothered my mosquitos. As an alterntive,I suggest baby spray special formulation. The classic book collection is there for your reading or just to give you a warm feeling, it's true that some guests prefer empty shelves, I am sorry the homey feeling does not match your taste. The fact that sleep 8 and 9 are in a double jump bed is clearly stated in the description. Villa Fracione is an architectural Villa with handmade furniture and hand painted floors. Yes, those things are not new, nobody can do them anymore, you can call them "dated", I call them artisanal and historical and hand made. Some guests prefer modern Ikea furniture, agreed, this is just not our style and it's clearly written, I am sorry you picked the property with different expectations. Everything is in the description. And as you say, all the appliances are new and top quality (like fridge and dishwasher), also linen and towels are new and top branded quality. Villa Francione is handmade History and Architecture, not Ikea.

Dear Stephan, thanks for your kind words, we are proud to be old! Villa Francione has the same "age" that you see in the pictures. You could have rented a modern plastic hotel or a waterfront prefab. On the contrary Villa Francione is the unique work from a famous Architect, like the many "old" paintings, buildings and other "old stuff" you can find in Italy. We have hand made furniture, hand painted floors and manually built fireplace. All of those are very old! Appliances like fridge, and kitchen are new like heating, soundproofing and all the rest. All the rest, yes, it is antique, or restored and original. We have no Ikea and no Made in China. Thanks for acknowleding that we did proper.
