Hey from Massimo e Alessandra

Member since August 2008 | 69,652 hits
We are a nice couple in love with our country. My husband Massimo and I (Ciccio for friends) will be happy to give you all the information you can to enjoy a stay on Lake Maggiore.

We are passionate about art, history, cuisine and music and..travel. But we are also capable of being tourists a few steps from home because we are convinced that the real journey lies in the mind. And it's nice to "travel" with the stories of our guests.

Area city center
Laveno is halfway on the Lombard coast of the Lake Maggiore. It’s a strategic place to visit the region of the lakes and the Prealps. Two railway stations connect Laveno with Varese (30 min.), Milan (1h. 20 min.) and the Malpensa Airport. Every 15 min. a ferryboat connects the lombard coast of the lake with the piedmontese coast (Verbania), the Borromean Islands and Stresa. The Cableway of the Lake Maggiore takes you on the top of the Sasso del Ferro mountain (1062 mt.) from where you can admire the majestic panorama of the Region of the Lakes and the Alps.
Laveno lies 20 km. from the swiss border, not far from the Lugano-Agno airport.
The region, rich in art and history, offers countless ways to admire the gifts of the past: the medieval castles, the villas of the XVII century, the botanic gardens, the old mountain villages entirely made of stone, the noble palaces, the romanic monasteries and the baroque Sacro Monte Sanctuaries, protected by the UNESCO.
There are numerous possibilities to bathe in clean waters and to practise sports: hang-gliding, para-gliding, cycling, mountain bike, trekking, sailing and all the water sports, tennis.

My family and I were guests at the Laveno 1673 property for the April 25th holiday. The owner, Mrs. Alessandra, welcomed us warmly and answered all our questions and curiosities. The house is very beautiful and ancient, with exposed wooden beams and a very well-kept courtyard, equipped with spacious areas and all comforts, including breakfast even though it was not included in the price. In a convenient location to reach both the station and the places to visit in the surroundings if you have a car. Also, 2/3 minutes on foot from the lakeshore and the point where you can take the boat to the islands. Surrounding bars and restaurants for meals, but still in a quiet location in the evening. Absolutely recommended. Too bad we stayed for a short time.

Alessandra and Massimo are very kind and helpful hosts; the location is very good in the center of the small town of Laveno by the lake, with a beautiful view, cafes, restaurants, etc., all very close by; but the main road is noisy in the mornings and evenings, which was not a big issue in October as the windows facing the inner courtyard are quieter and sufficient.

I stayed in the blue apartment - a very nice small apartment with two wonderful hosts. The bed was very comfortable, the whole apartment very clean. Alessandra even put eggs and yogurt in the fridge for me. I felt very comfortable. \n\nThe location is also super central, you can reach a lot on foot. \n\nI will definitely come back!

She provides guides and maps. The building is very well located, near the lake, with a charming courtyard where we could leave our bikes. It is very clean, and very quiet. Very good!

Lovely hosts and welcome and recommendations for things to do in Laveno and surrounding area. The flat has all amenities and is well situated, with a lovely lake view from the kitchen. The only downside for me was that it was quite noisy at night/early in the morning because of the road, but that issue was easily solved with earplugs! Photos on the site are accurate and we had an excellent stay. We would return.

Truly comfortable house, very nice. The red apartment for 4 people has a beautiful view of the lake. It is strategically located for visiting Monte Sasso with the cable car and close to the ferry embarkation for Intra, from where you can reach the Borromean Islands. Mrs. Alessandra, very kind, welcomed us late in the evening and advised us on places to visit and where to eat. Definitely recommended.
