Villa holiday rentals in Borromean Islands

We loved this place. The way Franco has decorated it is so detailed in art and speaks of his family. The books are old and amazing and the manner he displayed them: some on their side, some standing up. The shampoos from his travels are a marvelous art display. The old photos of the home…The small liquors are cute. In the bedroom, the hats in one corner and the old luggage in the other…This is the most interesting Airbnb I have ever been in. And that’s completely beside the unbelievably beautiful view from all windows. It’s right on the lake. This place is amazing.

This is a very very special place and we had an amazing holiday here swimming and paddle boarding on the lake, hiking in the mountains and enjoying many meals al fresco with the very special view of Orta San Giulia from the house. This is an old family home so don’t expect fancy modern furnishing and equipment. But the antiques and decor only add to a special feeling and beds are comfortable, bathrooms fine with plenty of hot water and everything you need for your holiday is provided. We brought our own paddle boards as it was cheaper to pay to bring them than hire locally and we enjoyed being able to jump on them from the end of the garden and find some sun when the sun was off the garden late afternoon. Also there are bitey midges so bring repellant.

The setting of Casa Cattaneo is so very beautiful The light is exceptional making the sunrise and sunsets something to look forward to every day. The house is a beautiful example of modernism at its finest. Whilst some amenities are less comfortable today the house offers an exceptional way to experience the local setting exceptional view of lake Maggiore and the culinary delights of the area.

Mario welcomed us with arms open to his beautiful home! The house was beautiful as in the pictures, very quiet. Mario helped us with anything we needed at any time. We felt very at home! We recommend to anyone who wants to have a peaceful home in a beautiful place with an amazing host to come to mario’s home. It is also close by driving to a big supermarket and to all the attractions this area has to offer. We definitely will be back again!!

Best AirBnB we have ever stayed in. Perfect to recover from a crazy day at market…

We had a very nice stay. Nice welcome and support by Paolo. Beautiful house and garden.

This place is a dream come true. The view of the lake and the little islands from two floors of the house and the terrace is absolutely spectacular. We did not want to leave to explore the area - it seemed sufficient to just sit and watch the lake for hours. The house is also furnished with a lot of taste and the surroundings are very quiet - which added to the overall well-being and relaxation. The only thing that might top the place is Simon, the host. Very friendly, easy going and always ready to help. We were welcomed by a set table with bread, cheese and a bottle of wine. We definitely want to come again!

We stayed with 2 families for a week. The house is far outside and is very quiet. It has a fantastically beautiful garden and is very spacious. Upon our arrival everything was very clean and pleasant. The villa with furniture comes from a past time with great flair, we felt right at home. On the ground floor lives a very nice lady with a very nice dog. Our kids loved playing with the dog. The path to the lake takes about 15 minutes by car. We really enjoyed the week there and can highly recommend the villa for people who are looking for some peace and quiet away from the big hustle and bustle!

Great place for group of 7 (four adults and three kids). Backyard was great for the kids. Grocery store right around the corner. Neighborhood is close enough to St Marks Square to be convenient but also feels away from the crowds

We had a lovely time in this villa. It's a great location for a bigger group of people and the house is very beautiful! If you want to take a dip in the lake, you have to walk at about 15 minutes downhill.

This was our second time at this property. The place is absolutely amazing and we highly recommend it to anyone wishing to have a luxurious vacation nearby Italian lake. We also give extra credit for the hosts due to they (and the cleaning staff) have made tourists’ life a bit easier on relation to very strict Italian recycling requirements :)

The house is wonderful. The views of the lake are exactly those shown on the website Weather too cool to use the pool, but it was very clean and inviting. You will need a car, but roads are well marked and Stressa is about a 10 minute drive. There were six of us in our party with plenty of room for everyone. All of the bedrooms has their own bathrooms with an extra bathroom on the ground floor. We have rented many properties, but this one is among the best!!! We will be recommending it to anyone who asks where they should stay in the area The owner also has a winery about 30 min away and well worth the drive

We are a family of 5 and absolutely loved staying in Pierina's Airbnb. The place was clean, beautifully situated write at the lake, and we felt very welcome. We would definitely come back - can recommend!

Our stay at Villa Rina, was a very special experience for me and my family! The amenities are excellent, Everything your heart desires is there. Super sorted, organized and clean. Marco is a very friendly, helpful and understanding host. We felt very comfortable, welcome and welcome. Everything was perfect, thank you so much! We will be back !😃

It was a wonderful time at the great lakeside villa. Beautiful rooms, bathrooms and cozy corners for conversation. The children enjoyed the large garden extensively. Everything worked out great. Only the late check-in time we do not find the price and we have cleaned kitchen utensils again before use. Otherwise, happy to come back. Thank you.

Beautiful view of the lake - even prettier than the pictures. You will need a car to get to & from the home - the road to the home is narrow and up a steep hill. The air conditioning works well in the bedrooms - the living area was comfortable but would be warm during summer months. We would happily stay there again.

great location, magnificent views over Lago Maggiore, the pool is excellent, you can stay an entire day at the Villa and do nothing. the kitchen is a bit basic for cooking and inside is a bit less elegant. Also there was some dust under the bed and wardrobes. The main disadvantage is there are no blinds or shutters in any of the bedrooms and in summer it gets hot during the day and bright at 6 o'clock in the morning.

Great location with great views in a beautiful place. Very quiet, keeps what it promises!

We enjoyed staying at Christina's place very much. If necessary, she was always there for us, but otherwise very discreet, hardly noticeable and visible even though she lives right next door. The large pool was great, except for the clearly audible duct traffic it was very quiet. There are many shops, Ponte Tresa and Lugano are quickly accessible and also in the village there are several easily accessible shopping opportunities within walking distance. Just great!! We stayed here the first time, but certainly not the last time. :-)

Fantastic villa in a wonderful location with outstanding views. Excellent amenities. Would recommend. Owners made us feel very welcome.

Hi Property has a great outside space which is why we chose it, Pool ,bbq, plenty of sunbeds, music system. Inside are huge areas but didn't really use as we visited in Summer. The interior is dated from a taste p.o.v but everything you can think of is supplied and its very clean and well looked after. Area is suburban but only 5 minutes from the lake and beach, 10 minutes into the old town with goods bars & restaurants. Great host always contactable.

Thanks to sylvia for her very warm welcome, she cares about the comfort of her guests and makes her beautiful apartment available to us as well as her private pool. Very well located for visiting Lugano and its surroundings, we had a dream stay with an ideal setting.

Beautiful villa and matching expectations. Definitely recommended!

Dear Marilena, we had a very nice time at the property and Marilena was very quick to respond to questions. The garden , the pool and the view of Lake Maggiore is simply fantastic. 😍 Also thank you for the tip about the pizzeria "Aldo" in Arona. Very delicious and highly recommended 😋 We wish you and your family all the best and we will definitely visit again 😃 If I wanted anything else, it would be one more two sunbeds. Kind regards😎
