This is a wonderful property and Patrizia and Luca are exceptional hosts. We’ve rented many places in many locations and this is truly among the best. I Faggi Country House is a beautiful, high-quality flat with amazing views high over Lago Maggiore. Everything is spotless and in great working order. The flat is thoughtfully outfitted with everything one could need. So many places require a renter to shop for basics. This flat had everything from nice olive oil and vinegar to coffee and filters (in addition to Keurig cups) to teas, bottled water and more. Patrizia also had some lovely welcome gifts for us upon arrival. When we noted how thoughtful everything was outfitted, she said that, by design, they wanted it to have everything their own home would offer.
The house itself is extremely well designed. It’s a gorgeous home and property in a peaceful, natural setting. We enjoyed watching deer in the morning and hearing all of the birdsong including a cuckoo calling every dusk. The view over Lago Maggiore is ever-changing and we left the drapes open at night to fall asleep to lights twinkling across the lakeside villages far below. The drive up from town is winding and sometimes narrow and the driveway is a bit steep, but there’s nothing to worry about after you’ve done it once or twice. We absolutely loved coming back to this lovely, quiet treasure of a place after bustling days around Stresa and this enchanting region. Tutto spettacolare!
