Time to enjoy the view
The views are absolutely incredible!!! It is also very quiet and peaceful. The apartment has everything you need and is clean and well taken care of. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return. Thank you, Sandra!

Appartamento Try Lake Como with Balcony
The place itself is very comfortable and had everything you need. The view of lake Como is stunning and location was great. Easy walk to shops, bus and ferry station. Denis is very proactive and helped us with finding another accommodation due a mix up of dates on our behalf. Would highly recommend to stay at this lovely apartment.

Casa Brione 41
A little paradise – highly recommended! We were very lucky to be able to spend a few days in this wonderful place – and it was just perfect (except the weather)! The apartment is excellently equipped and leaves nothing to be desired. Everything is furnished with a lot of love for detail and very personally designed, so that you feel at home from the first moment. The location is fantastic – quiet, idyllic and with a breathtaking garden on two levels. A real retreat with lots of charm! We would also like to emphasize the hostess: extremely personable, warm and helpful at all times. You can tell right away how much she cares about making her guests feel comfortable. We can highly recommend this place and will be happy to come back!

Studio apartment at the Port
Valentina's apartment is very clean and beautiful. The view of Lake Maggiore is fantastic. We were there in early June and it was really quiet at night, you could sleep with the windows open. Everything is in walking distance. A parking space would be helpful, but you read in the description that there is no parking space and no air conditioning, so you know in advance. We would come back, for us it was the perfect, small apartment! 💖 Thanks Valentina! 🥰

Albanova-Charming apartment surrounded by greenery
Beautiful and well-furnished apartment in a great location! The lake and Minusio train station are a few minutes' walk away. We felt very comfortable!

Dream apartment in Ascona on Lake Maggiore
This apartment is superbly furnished! Very good location! Only 5 minutes from the lake and restaurants. Just below the apartment you will find Migros to do shopping. Also very practical. Matina always answered right away and is a very nice hostess. The apartment was clean and had a nice balcony. Very quiet location for sleeping. Recommended!

[Locarno Center] Terrace, Netflix & Free Parking
The place is very modern and very nice. Everything you could need is available. Very central. 10 minutes' walk from the center. There are also supermarkets right next to the property. Davide is very helpful and also inquired after check-in whether everything went well. I was extremely satisfied with the host.
