This is a charming 1 bedroom apartment enjoying superb lake views situated in Massino Visconti, about 20 minutes from the popular lakeside town of Stresa. It boasts a private terrace and BBQ area. For those who enjoy walking, it is possible to walk to the Sanctuary of San Salvatore.
Inside there is an open plan living, kitchen and dining area equipped with sofa bed, small side table and TV unit. The kitchen is well equipped with 4 ring gas hob, electric oven, large fridge / freezer and dishwasher. There is plenty of cutlery, crockery, pots, pans and utensils to serve 4 people. The area has 2 doors leading to the outside space making it a lovely light and airy space. One of these doors leads to a lovely covered terrace equipped with table and chairs, perfect for al fresco dining. The property also has a double bedroom and bathroom with shower. The whole property has a modern, contemporary feel. Outside, the front of the property enjoys stunning, far-reaching views over the lake. The garden to the front of the apartment is lawned, whilst on a raised level to the side of the property, there is also a second terrace area with covered seating and BBQ.
Massino Visconti is a popular village on the hillside above Lake Maggiore. The property is situated in a quiet residential neighbourhood but within easy reach of the main road networks should you wish to sightsee during your stay. It is not overlooked and enjoys lovely lake views of the lake. It is possible to walk to a small village store (open in the Summer months) or within a 20 minute walk you can also reach a restaurant. There are a number of fantastic walks / hikes to be enjoyed leading straight from the property. If you prefer to laze on the beach, then the lakeside is just a 5 minute drive away. It's a good base from which to explore some of the main lakeside towns such as Stresa, Pallanza and Arona as well as the Borromean Islands. In the Winter, you can ski nearby on the mountains above Stresa - Mottarone.
A note from Jo
Boltholes in the Italian Lakes don't get much better than this. We think this is a charming apartment perfect for a couple or small family.
Lovely modern accommodation with all necessary fittings and easy access by car to Lego Maggiore and the motorway. The garden was great with a beautiful view of the lakes…. I let Fiona know that the kettle handle was broken, it is still usable but would be best replaced just in case. Also I would consider adding more pillows so that each person could have two if they wanted to, there were four for four people. It was great to have a garden for the kids to run around in and what a lovely view!
The house is located on wonderful place with a beautiful view over Lago Maggiore. The surrounding garden is quiet and large. The house was equipped with everything needed and very clean. We can recommend the house to everyone. Thank you Fiona and husband for the key delivery and for your flexibility…. Everything went smoothly. I will recommend your house.
