My family (husband + 5 yr old son) spent 3 weeks in Italy. For our trip we looked for places that would give us a "sense of place" without being touristy, amenities that would allow us to cook meals and finally, that gave our son the room to roam, explore and play safely. This place checked all of those boxes. HOWEVER, to be saying it checked boxes is an understatement. This is one of the most beautiful places we have stayed - and we travel a lot, often staying in 5 star hotels. The 18th century villa is beautifully and lovingly restored. The view of the lake is simply stunning and Andrea and family have created a charming patio area where guests can take it in with a glass of wine or dinner. We spent some time on the lake shore, which is beautiful, but I looked forward to coming "home" and enjoying the view from our place.
The apartment that we stayed in (2 bedroom, 2 bath) was perfect. It had everything we needed, super clean, very well appointed and beautiful views of the garden. There was nothing else we would have wanted or wished for.
Finally, our hosts were lovely. Thoughtful, helpful, informative and available. We could not have asked for more.
