    Country estate Cascina Borchina "LA FINCA" dream lake view, tranquility, nature, elegance, organic

    Cascina Borchina offers four romantic and elegant accommodations, for only a few guests: an entire house (finca) on two floors, an apartment with one bedroom (sole), two one-room apartments (Violetta and Falco).

    The independent "LA FINCA" is located in the Cascina Borchina and extends over two floors. Elegance and luxury coexist within the spacious and sunny house, while nature is reflected in its materials. These natural materials have been carefully selected with great attention to detail. Among other things you will find marble, travertine, granite, slate, natural stone, recycled wood, old bricks. The result is a mixture of contemporary glamor, anchored in elements of fascinating tradition. The large windows on both levels give you the opportunity to have a wonderful view over the lake and to be embraced by the sun's rays. You have sun from early to late.
    Our "house finca" is intended for a couple, a small family or friends. The house has a large kitchen on the ground floor. The high-quality kitchenette is equipped with a refrigerator, freezer compartments, 5 gas hob, convection oven, dishwasher, coffee machine, toaster, sufficient dishes, glasses and cutlery as well as kitchen utensils. There is also a bathroom with a shower, a dining area with a massive wooden table with 6 comfortable wooden chairs and a cozy living area with a sofa and television (satellite television for German-language television programs), as well as a small room with a table and chairs for reading or enjoying the view invites. Antique cabinet and seating for 4 people.

    On the upper level there are two bedrooms (one with a large balcony) and another bathroom with a stone shower. The "House Finca" has a terrace on the ground floor and its own garden. This consists of a large property with a private stone cave, in which there is an iron table and chairs, as well as several deck chairs with cushions.
    The stone cave and private garden are surrounded by lemon trees, rosemary, oak, sage grass, lavender, thyme and mint.

    The most beautiful place I have ever stayed
    If I could give this place ten stars I would. The estate is just in the most stunning position overlooking the lake with multiple places to sit and gaze and take in the incredible views. Inside the luxury fittings and high end bathrooms and kitchen were much appreciated. Much attention to detail in garden furniture, garden lights, and a stunningly well designed house meant we had the best holiday. The marvellous hosts, Bettina and Andrea were kind and helpful in every way. They created a special and beautiful place to relax. We enjoyed taking in the glorious scenery and the peace and beauty of the area was the best I have ever seen. We had a hire car SUV which coped well with the steep and bumpy path down to the estate; I would not recommend a sports car here. I feel that we found a little bit of paradise here and already long to return. We all loved our week in this wonderful place and feel lucky that we made such a great choice. Many thanks to Bettina and Andea for our super holiday.

    Haus mit traumhafter Aussicht
    Wir haben hier die ersten Ferien mit unserem 4 Monate alten Baby verbracht. Das Haus liegt wunderschön an einem Hang über dem Lago Maggiore. Die Aussicht ist traumhaft, besonders auch aus dem Schlafzimmer. Das Haus ist stilvoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Die Gastgeber sind total nett und hilfsbereit.

    In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft!
    Exzellente Lage mit spektakulärem Blick sowie großzügiger, flacher Gartenfläche bis zum Abgrund, geschmackvoll eingerichtet, gut betreut (Bettina). Sehr gute Rotweine im Angebot. Wünschenswert: Stärkerer Wasserdruck bei den Duschen. Zufahrt tatsächlich für tief gelegte Sportwagen ungeeignet.

    Tolles Anwesen mit gigantischer Aussicht
    Das Haus mit dazugehörigem Grundstück sehr schön. Der Blick auf den See ist gigantisch und entschädigt für die Serpentinen dorthin zu. Die Hausherren sind unheimlich nett und hilfsbereit. Haus ist sauber und top ausgestattet. Innen durch den Naturstein gemütlich und einmalig.

    Ein wunderbarer Ort, um die Seele baumeln zu lassen
    Wir haben die Woche, die leider viel zu schnell vorbei war, sehr genossen. Das ganze Anwesen strahlt Ruhe, Geborgenheit und Exklusivität aus. Der Ausblick ist von jedem der vielen Plätze aus atemberaubend und es fällt manchmal wirklich schwer, sich davon zu lösen und in den Trubel des Lago Maggiore und des angrenzenden Tessin einzutauchen. Dabei ist die Lage für Ausflüge optimal (und das Heimkommen umso schöner). Danke auch an Bettina und Andrea für die herzliche Aufnahme. Wir werden sicher wieder kommen.

    Atemberaubend
    Das Haus ist ein Traum und der Ausblick unbeschreiblich. EINE GUTE WAHL. Bettina und Andrea sind sehr herzlich, jedoch auch sehr diskret. So sollte Urlaub sein, ankommen und sich wohlfühlen. Es ist Bettina und Andrea gelungen, uns dieses Gefühl zu vermitteln. Wir werden das Haus aus vollster Überzeugung weiterempfehlen und sagen danke.
