Alte Villa oberhalb des Lago Maggiore

- sehr nette Gastgeber, die in allen Belangen behilflich sind - Ein- und Ausfahrt ist mit einem größeren Auto beschwerlich, da sehr eng - Zimmergröße auch als Familie mehr als ausreichend (hatten das größere Zimmer) - Frühstück war einfach, aber für uns ebenfalls ausreichend

Chambre très calme et bien située

Notre chambre était grande, idéale pour une famille avec 2 enfants. Un peu à l'écart de l'agitation de la ville, nous avons pu profiter du calme des lieux, du jardin et de la piscine tout en étant bien placés pour visiter la région. La terrasse offre une belle vue sur le lac. Nos hôtes étaient très accueillants et toujours disponibles. Au petit déjeuner, nous avons pu profiter de douceurs "maison" en plus des viennoiseries, pains, et céréales. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour.

참 아름다운 곳이었습니다. 따뜻하고 행복하게 지냈습니다. 아침식사도 맛있었구요.. 방이나 욕실은 사진에서 보는 것보다 훨씬 크고 좋아요. 가족들 모두 좋아했고 다시 가고 싶네요

Un bellissimo fine settimana sul Lago Maggiore

Con mio marito e mia figlia di due anni siamo stati ospiti del B&B abbiamo trovato una bellissima villa in mezzo al verde con una bella piscina che abbiamo molto apprezzato sopratutto la mia piccolina che adora l'acqua. La famiglia è stata molto ospitale e mi sono sentita un pò come a casa...la consiglio vivamente.

Idéal pour les familles, accueil formidable

Nous avons séjourné une nuit à el Gelsomino et tout était parfait. C’est une grande maison avec un très grand jardin. Notre chambre (ou plutôt suite) était suffisamment spacieuse pour nous 5, avec un balcon et une très belle vue.Tout était très propre, le quartier est très calme. C’est vraiment un endroit idéal pour une famille tout en étant très proche de Stresa. Les enfants ont adoré la piscine! Le petit déjeuner, pris dans la cuisine d’été était très copieux et délicieux, avec des gâteaux et confiture faits maison. Mais surtout nous avons été très chaleureusement accueillis par notre hôte et sa famille, ils sont adorables et ont fait de leur mieux pour nous satisfaire. Je recommande vivement cette adresse.

Schöne alte Villa mit super Gastgebern

Die Eigentümer haben uns sehr freundlich empfangen und waren den gesamten Aufenthalt über immer sehr aufmerksam und behilflich bei allen Belangen. Frühstück einfach, aber ausreichend. Kaffee etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Ein-/Ausfahrt zum Grundstück etwas eng mit Auto, das größer als Standard bzw. mit Anhänger. Super geeignet für Motorradfahrer, da Parkmöglichkeit im abgesperrten Bereich direkt vor dem Haus. Wir hatten das größere der beiden Zimmer und das war sehr gut. Hohe Räume, waren zu zweit unterwegs, auch zu viert gut ausreichend.

Magnifique Maison d'hôte du 18ème

Nous avons passé 2 nuits magnifiques dans cette demeure du 18ème siècle. Nous sommes une famille de 2 adultes et 3 enfant en bas âges. Perchée sur les hauteur de Stresa (~500m), nous avons pu admirer le lac majeur et ses alentours depuis le balcon de notre chambre. La chambre est très belle, le lit double très grand et très confortable (aucun problème de cervicale le matin, comme dans certain hôtels 3 étoiles :-)) Très lumineux, un grand lustre dans la chambre à coucher donne un effet très grande baroque, la salle de bain est très grande. Mais le gros point positif est la gentillesse et la disponibilité des propriétaires. Ils nous ont donné de bon conseils pour les visites ainsi que pour nous rendre a Lugano par le bac. Ils nous ont proposé des bouteilles d'eau ou du lait chaud pour les enfants avant de se coucher. Le petit déjeuner était classique et bien présenté. Une piscine est à disposition mais la température du mois d'avril ne s'y prêtait pas trop :-) Allez-y sans hésiter. J’espère y retourner cet été.
