Villa Lesa

"Hello, we had an excellent holiday thank you. 1. The accommodation was exactly as the description on your web site. 2. 10. 3. Very pretty and very friendly. 4. Booking process good."

"1. The accommodation: This is a beautiful property furnished to a very high standard. There are views to the lake from the dining area and from the terrace next to the house. It is very spacious with lovely gardens leading down to a second terrace by the lake. It would be ideal for a family. There is a double bedroom with a second double bed on an open mezzanine and the bed for the fifth person is in an open area between the main bedroom and the living room. They could use the second, spacious single bedroom on the upper floor if curtains or blinds were added. This would give a place for a 6th person, maybe a child sleeping near parents. The living room is spacious enough to accommodate a full size billiard table and there are bikes and water sports equipment available for use. The owner lives in an adjacent house and was extremely welcoming and had provided a bottle of wine, milk and other drinks on our arrival. Her friend arrived with a freshly home made cherry cake on the day we arrived. 2. Accommodation rating (from 0 to 10): 9. The reason for 9 and not 10 is the open plan bedroom arrangements which would be less suitable for some couples rather than a family. 3. The region: Beautiful scenery, near other lakes and islands; nearby Stresa is great for shopping and eating and strolling by the sea. Some lovely restaurants nearby. 4. Booking process: Efficient and helpful"

"1. The accommodation: Was extremely comfortable and pretty. Just like in the photos with the added delightful surprise that there were two showers, not one, as we had expected. Eva, the owner, was extremely kind and thoughtful and not intrusive at all, but it was lovely that she was there to ask questions. The garden was well kept and beautiful with fresh herbs for cooking. Access to the lake at the bottom of the garden to swim was easy. The water and the bottom of the lake was clean and it was beautiful to swim in. The pontoon for the boat that we rented was clean and well maintained. The tiny negatives were that the air conditioning unit upstairs either needed to be serviced or replaced by a newer one. It did not really cool the upstairs. There are now some cheap new air conditioning units on the market which are very good at cooling. The fridge was a bit old although it was perfectly adequate. 2. Accommodation rating (from 0 to 10): 9.5 3. The region: 10 4. Booking process and local management: 10"
