Finally, a beautiful agriturismo near Lake Maggiore!

Finalmente! I finally found a beautiful agriturismo in the area of Lake Maggiore. I've searched so often in this area, but could never find one that ticked all the boxes. Until last summer, that is, when I found this cosy farmhouse. With mounting excitement I made a detour of 400 km to see it as quickly as possible and fortunately it did not disappoint!

The agriturismo is located in a quiet area about 20 kilometres from Arona, a pretty village on the shores of Lake Maggiore. They make their own wine, cheese, goat’s  cheese and jam. In the garden of the farmhouse is a newly built swimming pool and there is a restaurant (open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening and every day for a light lunch). It serves local cuisine, with homemade pasta and bread and they have a good wine list.

Rooms

There are seven rooms, all with private bathroom, air-conditioning and television. There are also family rooms. Some rooms have a private terrace or balcony. The rooms are cosily furnished and decorated in warm colours. In good weather breakfast is served in the charming courtyard.

In short

This is an ideal agriturismo for exploring Lake Maggiore (or the smaller, but no less beautiful Lago d'Orta). Milan is also within easy reach, for a day of sightseeing or shopping!
