Schönes Ferienhaus am Lago
Unser Aufenthalt in dem Objekt war sehr schön. Wir hatten vorab alle Informationen, der check in lief reibungslos. Der Vermieter kümmerte sich per WhatsApp sehr um uns. Das Haus hat alles, was man braucht. Die Terrasse und der komplett umzäunte Gartem (Zaunhöhe ca. 1/1,20 m) sind ein Traum. Die Anfahrt zum Haus ist kurvig und steil, aber das weiß man ja vorher. Die letzten ca. 200m muss man zu Fuß zum Haus. Für uns kein Problem. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt an diesem ruhigen Ort sehr genossen.

Ruhe pur
Das Ferienhaus liegt etwas versteckt in einem idyllischen alten Bergdorf. Aber mit der Beschreibung haben wir es schnell gefunden. Außenbereich und innen ist alles neu und sehr sauber. Alle notwendigen Dinge und mehr (Liegen, Outdoorspiele, Grill, Fondue, ..) sind vorhanden. Topp! Nach 3 min. hatte mein Sohn auch schon das W-LAN angeworfen. Auf der überdachten Terrasse haben wir jede Mahlzeit draußen genießen können. Der kostenfreie Parkplatz war ca. 3-5 Min. Fußweg vom Haus entfernt. Berg- und Waldblick und Garten am Haus, Fluß und Wanderwege direkt am Ort, optimal für Menschen die Ruhe und Entspannung suchen. Um zum See (Strand, Locarno oder auch tolle Flusstäler) zu gelangen, braucht es ca. 15-20 Min. Autofahrt, ca. 30 Autofahrt bis nach Italien. Wobei jede Autofahrt auch spektakuläre Ausblicke auf See und Berge bietet. Wir waren mit den Kindern zum Stand-Up-Paddling, so kann man den See auch toll erleben. Ich wäre gern noch mehr gewandert (viele Wanderwege rundum), aber das fand bei den Kids keinen Anklang. Gerne wieder!

Schönes Haus in herrlicher Umgebung
Wir verbrachten zwei wunderschöne Wochen in einem sauberen Haus in ruhiger Umgebung. Das Haus hatte alles zu bieten, was man braucht. Locarno und der See waren in 15 Minuten erreichbar. Wer Ruhe und Erholung sucht, ist in dieser Unterkunft richtig aufgehoben. Kommunikation mit dem Vermiter ebenfalls top. Gerne wieder.

Hoger gelegen vakantiewoning in de bergen met zuiderse inslag
Gezellige, knusse vakantiewoning met alle nodige voorzieningen in orde, aan de rand van een authentiek gehucht. Uitgangspunt voor bergwandelingen. Bereikbaar via typische Tessiner bergweg. (2 à 3 km)
