Discover our idyllic holiday home in picturesque Falmenra, just 11 km from Lake Maggiore in Italy. Our charming holiday homes, situated in a quiet and sunny south-facing location in Falmenta - Durone in Valle Cannobina, offer you a perfect blend of Italian flair, Mediterranean lifestyle and Alpine atmosphere. The houses are surrounded by nature and are only a 15-minute walk from Falmenta. Please bring rucksacks, not suitcases! Very close to the Swiss border and surrounded by the breathtaking mountains of Piemonte, a holiday far away from mass tourism awaits you here, where gentle tourism and sustainability are very important. We offer accommodation that is ideal for couples or families of up to 3 people, while our large holiday home opposite offers additional space for 5 to 6 people. Inside the house you will find a lovingly equipped kitchen that leaves nothing to be desired - from pots, pans and crockery to a kettle, espresso maker, milk frother and toaster to induction hobs and a fridge. The living area is cosily furnished with a large corner bench, table, chair and armchair and invites you to linger with books and a chess set. In addition, electric stoves and a wood-burning fireplace provide cosy warmth. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, toilet, washbasin and the necessary toiletries, while the sleeping areas are characterised by variable bed systems and comfortable carpets. The outside area of the house offers a veranda and a small garden for outdoor relaxation. Equipped with garden furniture, deckchairs and a parasol, you can enjoy the mountain views and unwind here. The location in the car-free, old stone house village of Durone and the direct access to numerous hiking trails make for a unique holiday experience in the midst of unspoilt nature. Our holiday homes are located in a dreamlike setting that invites you to explore. They are just a few steps away from traditional old stone houses, palm trees, chestnut trees and fig trees. Access to the largest nature reserve in the Alps, the Val Grande, and the proximity to cities such as Locarno, Ascona and Milan offer a wide range of opportunities for leisure activities and discovery. Immerse yourself in the experience of our exclusive retreat, which promises peace, relaxation and an authentic lifestyle.
