A short distance from sledding, sailing, and more, this pet-friendly vacation home lets you experience it all. Jump into your car and make short work of the 6-minute drive to Lake Orta or the 4-minute drive to Sanctuary of Madonna del Sasso (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

Relax in the garden (enjoy the outdoor furniture!) or sip a drink on the deck or patio of this 1453-sq-ft vacation home. When you come inside, connect to the free WiFi or get cozy in front of the cable/satellite TV (video library available). There's also a DVD player, a stereo, and a music library for your enjoyment.

A BBQ grill, a fireplace, a desk, and a printer are featured at this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and soap. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and an ice maker. And you can even travel light because you'll have access to laundry facilities.
