The Space
This Italian Lakes villa rental is located within a 5 minute drive of the lakeside and only 3 miles north of the bustling lakeside town of Luino with its wide selection of shops, bars and restaurants. Less than 5 miles from the Swiss border, the villa also provides easy access to the Swiss towns of Lugano and Locarno. Lake Como is a one hour drive and trains run direct from Luino to Milan in an hour.
You enter this Italian Lakes villa rental on the ground floor where there is a large open plan living, dining and kitchen area. This leads out onto a private terrace with stunning lake views. Up one flight of stairs, there are 2 bedrooms - one double bedroom with private balcony with lake view and one twin bedroom with views to the countryside - as well as a modern family bathroom. Up another flight of stairs there is the fantastic master bedroom with kingsize bed (160cm). This has a large ensuite bathroom with walk in shower, 'his and her' sinks and bath. There are two balconies on this floor, one with lake views and one with views to the hills.
This Italian Lakes villa rental is fully equipped with all the mod cons guests could wish for including a flatscreen TV, Blue Ray DVD player with DVD library and XBOX games console with selection of games. There is also a Nespresso coffee machine in the property.
The owners have also gone to great lengths to make this Italian Lakes villa rental family friendly, providing a travel cot, highchair and pushchair all free of charge. There is also a selection of toys, board games and children's DVDs. All in all, it is a very family friendly Italian Lakes villa rental!nnThe property shares three parking spaces with another Italian Lakes villa, Villa Caruso. Please note that the driveway down to the villa is very steep. As a result, if guests prefer, they can also park on the main road at the top of the hill. Please note also that this is a semi detached property, set over 3 floors giving it the feel of a townhouse in the countryside.
Local Area
This Italian Lakes villa rental is located just outside the centre of Dumenza, a hillside village sitting above Lake Maggiore. Dumenza has a small supermarket as well as a small cafe, bar and restaurant. In the other direction at the bottom of the hill is Colmegna, a small but very pretty lakeside village.
The nearest large town is Luino. Luino is a lakeside town that has seen massive improvements over the past 10 years. The lakefront has seen considerable investment. The lakeside shop facades have been restored and the old lakeside car park has been transformed into a beautiful lawned park area, the perfect setting to enjoy an evening passeggiata. Notably, Luino businesses don't shut down in the Winter due to its thriving local population.
This is a stunning part of Italy, beautiful to enjoy all year round. There are a whole host of activities to enjoy from water sports and lake swimming in the Summer, to skiing in the Winter and with superb sightseeing opportunities on offer throughout the year. CIR code 012065-CNI-00004

Other thing to note
Villa Sereni is such a family friendly Italian Lakes villa rental. We love what it offers families to make their stay that little bit more comfortable. From a practical perspective, there is a cot, highchair and stroller, whilst for entertainment, there are plenty of games as well as an XBOX with games. We also love its peaceful location. There are few properties in the world where you share the terrace with a couple of peacocks, or where you will fall asleep listening to the waters flowing down the stream adjacent to the villa.

Nous avons passé deux excellentes semaines à la villa Sereni. Le cadre et la vue sont magnifiques et reposants. Le logement est très agréable et bien équipé.
Le propriétaire a été disponible et réactif durant notre séjour. Nous avons eu un petit soucis technique qui a été réglé dans l’heure grâce à son intervention rapide.
We stayed at Sereni as part of a family group visiting Luino, with an infant and toddler in tow. Firstly to say that the host Jo is very helpful and quick at responding to queries, which is great. The house is very modern with beautiful views of the lake. All the amenities within it were great and the outdoor terrace space is large enough for the whole group, with individual balconies on the levels above too. Luino has a great ferry service across to Cannobio and Cannero for day visits, and is within driving distance and train rides of lots of great locations. Two brief things to be aware of – the drive to approach it is tricky for larger cars and there is not much you can do without driving somewhere. Also do familiarise yourself with the local rubbish separation rules – but Jo is very helpful on this too! Thanks for all your support Jo in arranging this booking and all the follow up questions before and during our stay. It was also really helpful having the items for the kids – high chair etc.
Wenn man es dann gefunden hat (abenteuerliche Hofauffahrt), ist man sehr schnell begeistert. Wunderbare Sicht über den See, perfektes Aufwachen am Morgen! Sehr großzügiges Haus, vollständig ausgestattet mit allem Comfort inclusive DVDs, PlayStation, Spielzeug für Kleinkinder, Buggy, Reisebett, Kinderhochstuhl…. Leider nur britische TV-Kanäle, noch nicht einmal Italienisch oder Schweizer Programme. Aber man ist ja auch nicht zum Fernsehen hier, die tolle Region lädt zu vielen wunderbaren Ausflügen ein. Immer wieder gern!
Excellente hote, tres disponible pour toutes informations. La maison est située sur une colline au calme, conforme au descriptif, tres bien aménagée, bénéficiant d une tres belle vue sur le lac. Son accès peut impressionner dû à la difficulté de la pente. Pour information, il est obligatoire de prendre la voiture pour accéder au lac, commerces et restaurants.
The house has an amazing view and is very well equipped. We found salt, pepper, enough toilet paper and tablets for the dishwasher, as well as a bottle of chianti and amaretti biscuits ! There are many different places to visit and things to do, all within a short drive. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this house !!
Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Es liegt etwa 7 Kilometer vom Lago Maggiore entfernt im Landesinneren. Der Blick auf den See ist atemberaubend. Die Gastgeberin Jo ist unwahrscheinlich freundlich und kümmert sich sehr liebevoll um die Gäste. Bei unserem Aufenthalt war sie nicht vor Ort. Wir mussten den Hausschlüssel im Camin Hotel abholen. Die Wegbeschreibung ist sehr detailliert formuliert, man muss sich jedoch genau beachten, sonst kann es Probleme beim Finden des Hauses geben. Die Ruhe (kein Verkehr) , die Natur, der Blick auf den See und das Haus, machen den Urlaub zu einem echten Erlebnis. Danke!
Thank you for a wonderful stay in your property. We had a fantastic week with fantastic weather.
We had a great week, thank you very much. The apartment was wonderful – it was great to have all the mod cons there, and that view was to die for! In case you get asked – the driveway is fully negotiable in a 9 seater transit van….!
The driveway was a bit of a challenge but we managed. There were 5 of us and we had plenty of space. The place was lovely and clean and the view from the deck was terrific. We had many pleasant evenings on the deck. We had dinner one night at the Hotel Camin and that was a real treat. We drove to Como and to Bellinzona. We did the ferry to the small islands and Locano. All very nice and the scenery was spectacular. The highlight had to be the gardens at Villa Taranto. Superb. And we enjoyed the market. I will certainly recommend the villa to any friends that might want to visit North Italy. Many thanks for everything.
