Amazing property and location
My wife and I retired this year, and we wanted to find a special place to wind up our trip in Italy, especially as our two adult sons were with us. Our expectations were greatly exceeded.
Paolo met us at the train station, and on the way he commented "you have made an excellent choice." Indeed, his words rang true!
The interior is tastefully furnished and decorated. He pointed out the 500 yr old wood beams which were left intact after it was refurbished.
It was absolutely spotless inside, it is easily the cleanest rental we have ever stated in.
Most of our time, when there, was spent on the second floor, where there is a breathtaking view of the lake and mountain peak. The scene constantly changed, sometimes by the hour. At times the clouds would touch the mountain. Thunderstorms might roll in, once the peak was almost obliterated by fog, at other times, the sky was blue and you could see perfectly.
I would suggest walking up the street on the other side of the train station, where there is a great view of the Swiss Alps. And certainly, make the long but challenging (for us, not our sons) climb to the castle for more incredible views.
We typically don't spend what we did for lodging as we did, but it was worth every penny. It was an unforgettable experience. Thanks again, Paolo and Mara.
(PS when you come to America, let me know and you'll get treated to the worst Italian food you have ever eaten haha).
