Beautiful vacation home in a prime location above the lake

The house can be used for holidays in summer and winter, as it has modern insulating glass windows, underfloor heating in 2 rooms, an open fireplace in the living room and electric heating in the bedrooms. A room in the basement, also with a fantastic view, has a sep. Bathroom with toilet and shower. It has a separate entrance. The kitchen is modern with a particularly large oven at eye level, ceramic hobs, dishwasher and washing machine with integrated dryer. The rooms are all tastefully and individually decorated. You feel very quickly 'at home' and not like in a strange holiday home. Towels and bed linen are sufficiently available. Telephone, television, DVD player and internet are available. The garden has 2 levels, is terraced and wonderfully designed with old dry stone walls and stone stairs. In addition to the large terrace, there is also a stone table and a stone bench under a vine arbor on the upper garden level with a wonderful view of the lake.
It is a 10-minute drive to Cannobio, so you can shop very cheaply and the strong Swiss franc doesn't bother you.

134 steps to a whimsical view not for kids
This property has a big problem that you only realise on arrival. There are 134 narrow and steep steps (around 8 storeys) to climb to bring up your luggage (and groceries during your stay). When travelling with an infant and a pregnant wife this is far from ideal. Once you make it up, though, the view pays off the climb. It is stunning! However, mosquitoes won't let you enjoy it for long. Those little things are vicious! Another issue we found was that the garden was not fenced so or daughter and dog could run away easily. In addition, the two levels of the garden are connected by steep, narrow staircases without handrail. I cannot recommend the house for small kids or dogs just for this reason. The positive side of the house is its cleanliness and the amount of stuff that you can use (if you speak German you can enjoy a vast selection of books). The kitchen is well equipped despite its small size and we only found it lacking a microwave oven. At night it got quite hot and it was difficult to cool down the house without inviting vicious mosquitoes for supper. I would only recommend when travelling light for a couple of days and without small kids.

Beautiful lake view, but it comes with a climb!
Without question, this house has a magnificent view of Lake Maggiore. Truly breathtaking. BUT - do not overlook the fine print. There are 140 steps to climb, which was no easy task for us, as we had several bags to hike up. Definitely not for anyone who has difficulty with stairs (or isn't in pretty good physical shape!). Beyond that, the house was well appointed and comfortable. We were there in early June, though, and there were more than a few insects who wanted to join us inside.

Posizione spettacolare
Nonostante una scalinata fastidiosa per salire, il panorama è uno spettacolo. Casa un po vetusta ma ampia per una famiglia di 6 persone. Immenso giardino per approfittare della vista intanto che i bambini giocano! Da consigliare

Traum-Erholung oberhalb Lago Maggiore in Brissago
Die Ausschreibung des Objektes ist sehr treffend und stimmt, wir haben uns dort sehr wohlgefühlt und werden gerne wiederkommen. Ein Hinweis wäre aber notwendig (für ältere Leute), es sind jeweils 135 Stufen vom Parkplatz zum Haus zu ersteigen.

Erholung & traumhafte Aussicht
Wenn man die 144 Treppenstufen geschafft hat, wird man mit traumhaftem Ausblick auf den Lago Maggiore belohnt. Die Wohnung ist zwar ein bisschen älter (Küche modern), aber gerade deshalb sehr heimelig. Man fühlt sich sofort wie zu Hause. Lage ist gut! Vom Haus nach Brissago ist man zwar in 15 Minuten zu Fuss, zurück dann einfach ca. 25 Minuten den Berg hinauf. Ist aber machbar! Kommen gerne wieder!

Vor und Nachteile
Die Aussicht war traumhaft. Für die 144 Stufen zum Haus braucht man schon Kondition, vorallem mit Gepäck und dem Einkauf. Bis zum See braucht man auch ein Fahrzeug, was wir aus der Anzeige nicht erlesen konnten. Das Haus ist auch etwas in die Jahre gekommen und einige Schönheitsreparaturen wären schon erforderlich. Der untere Teil des Hauses, war nicht wirklich bewohnbar. Aus unserer Sicht, eher eine Abstellkammer. Leider.
