A delightful little haven in easy driving distance of the Italian lakes with a swimming pool. Sheer bliss!
We have to say that Ilaria is the hostess with the mostess. Help was a telephone call away and when our hire car got a small bump (which could have cost us a huge fortune back at the airport) she made contact with a garage in Bolzano and sorted everything for us. Thank you so much.
The only thing I would warn UK visitors about is the propensity of speed camera in northern Italy, be warned when you see one they will be a second within a couple of 100m.
Absolute musts are the Borromeo Islands (ferry from Arona where there is a free all-day carpark), a day trip into Milan (direct train from Arona) & the Borgomanero street market. But will you want to? Private garden, great patio and a swimming pool, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to move an inch!
