Cool old loft, little balcony with a view of the lake. Nice open plan living area - great for a couple. Nice touch having fruit and milk in the fridge.

Not the property’s fault, but booking.com: did not mention 15 euro per person cleaning fee on top of the booking cost Heads up for anyone booking in winter - the property will charge you for the gas bill if you heat the room during your stay. Location is really only suitable if you have a car (or a bike). It’s at least a half hour walk from Arona, but for a lot of the walk there is no path for pedestrians - you’re sharing a narrow winding road with the traffic. General feeling was that the place was disused and in a mostly deserted area. You’re pretty far from any lake maggiore attractions. Photos of property are out of date - it’s looking pretty worn down.
