We had a lovely week staying in the beautiful Palazzo Valentino. We were 10 adults and 2 grandchildren, family and friends from West and East coast, and Sweden. The home fit us all very nicely. We spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the stunning views of Lago Maggiore. It was quite a climb uphill from the parking area, but we got used to it. The kitchen was beautiful and fun to cook in, there were lounge chairs, lawn, barbecue and games for the kids, even chess! We enjoyed exploring the towns and found a great butcher and produce for cooking. We visited the Borromean Islands and rented 2 pontoon boats for the 12 of us to motor around the lake. It was a very special week and we would highly recommend the Palazzo Valentino to everyone.

Absolutely perfect house with the best-equipped kitchen ever. Valentino was charming and helpful. We loved being there, but the climb up from the parking lot is wearing. Perfect for us and our daughter, son-in-law and grandson but because of restrictions on such an historic house there are only two bathrooms and a powder room, so might be harder for non- related larger group. The view is astonishing and never gets old. There is not much to Oggebbio itself, but Cannero Riviera just up the road is delightful. We had a great time. The little beachside bar in Cannero is perfect for breakfast, and Valentino provided a very helpful long list of many other restaurants and activities. You won’t want to leave!

This was our second visit to Villa Valentino. The setting is remarkable, overlooking the Lago Maggiore with 180-degree views of the grand lake and hills beyond. The villa is spacious and maintained to a very high standard. The bedrooms grand and numerous. The kitchen is well-appointed and large, accommodating for our group occasions for shared meal preparation. We dined outside on the balcony covered with a retractable awing in sun and light rain. The spacious surrounding land and patios afforded opportunities for relaxation. This villa is true favorite. We plan on returning.
