Erg mooi penthouse met 2 balkons, fijn zwembad en jacuzzi met prachtig uitzicht op lago Maggiore.
The property was spacious, light and very clean. The children enjoyed swimming in the pool. We even made trips to Milan, Varese and Locarno. The things we kind of “missed” were a microwave and a vacuum cleaner.
We had such a lovely time at Golfo Gabella and it was good to explore this side of the Lake for a change. The apartment was a great size for the four of us and very comfortable. We loved the two balconies! As suggestions, a garlic press would have been useful and a slightly larger kettle but apart from that everything was tip top!
The flat was lovely and we loved the pool. We didn’t really go anywhere but stay around the pool and look at the village as most of the time the weather was nice, unlike Como. We liked the concert hall down the road, and saw two free concerts there, and also enjoyed an art exhibition in the municipal building in Maccagno. We also loved having a great supermarket very near. Overall we had a lovely time, thanks very much. One suggestion is that you need a bin in the kitchen and we also found that one washing machine for the building was not enough – it was very hard to get to use it. The staff there are also very kind and helpful. Thanks again.
