About The Experience
Come to this rental villa on Lake Maggiore, the "lakes district" of Italy, and experience the joy of finding that perfect spot on the water. The region has something for everyone, from hiking and watersports, to fine dining, to ancient architecture. Plot your lakeside adventures from the villa’s private yard, which has panoramic views of the lake as far as the eye can see. This 4 bedroom villa is great for a family or group of friends, and has a charming private pool for cooling off.
About The Experience

This villa is located near the southwestern end of Lake Maggiore in the Piedmont region of northern Italy, a kilometer from the lakefront village of Meina. The town has been inhabited since the Bronze Age. In the 1800's it became a holiday resort for the upper classes of Northern Italy. Today, with about two thousand inhabitants, Meina offers a selection of restaurants, shops, gelato shops, a market, and a bus stop. There is also a pizzeria just behind the villa itself. Meina also has a ferry, offering easy access to other areas of the lake. The train station in Arona, a few kilometers away, offers service to Milan which takes about an hour. Lake Maggiore as a whole offers visitors spectacular gardens, historic villas and castles, and medieval churches. An impressive number of natural parks dot the area, including the enormous Parco Nazionale dell Val Grande. Mountains provide impressive backdrops to the lake scenery, and each little village with its painted houses seems like a little terrace on the water. In the center of the lake, north of Meina, you can visit the enchanting Borromeo Islands, which hold palaces and gardens. In addition to exploring the local sights (by car or boat), you can also participate in many water-based sports, including sailing, water skiing, and canoeing.

Customer Reviews

Overall:
The villa was exquisite and much more than I'd imagined. The space worked out perfectly for the number of people we had. The view was spectacular and the pool a welcome relief from the heat in town. My family was able to really relax.
Enjoyed Most:
The location - far enough from the tourist crowds and vacationers in town but close enough when we wanted to go somewhere.
Enjoyed Least:
The mosquitos outside at night - not conducive to staying outdoors after dark. And there was a bit of an ant problem in one of the bedrooms.
Surrounding Area:
Enough attractions to see and nice restaurants.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Meina was a bit of a hike down but manageable for the able-bodied. Not much happening there after 7 p.m. though. Arona was only a 5 min. car ride and there is much more happening there.
Tips or Restaurants:
Citronella candles? We bought some pool toys since we had children; there were none there - we donated them to the house. The gelaterias were excellent.
Directions:
We did use a GPS to get everywhere.
Check In Out:
It was perfect and we really appreciated being able to check in a couple hours earlier since we had traveled all night. The owner was very accommodating--even met us at a restaurant in the town to lead us to the house.

Maria, July
