If you're looking for a mesmerising lake view, this apartment will be tough to beat. Guests are treated to panoramic vistas of the glistening Lake Maggiore, which spreads from Italy all the way to Switzerland. Sun shines onto the private balcony, making it the perfect spot for lounging with a view. Enjoy your morning coffee here in the sun, and when the heat gets a bit too much, you have options. Head down to the shared pool, bordered by lush, colourful gardens. Or, opt for nature's pool and take a dip in Lake Maggiore. Just a few steps away, not even a minute's walk, you can glide through the lake's calm waters. For lunch, several restaurants line the lakeshore, just a fifteen-minute walk away. Enjoy unbeatable views while eating a bowl of slurpingly good pasta. Don't miss the sunset on your balcony, watching the sun dip behind the mountains with an aptly named sundowner while playing cards is bliss. As if lounging around the balcony, pool, and lake wasn't enough, there's so much more in store. Hike the Monte Morissolo, a twenty-five-minute drive away, and explore the underground tunnels of WW1. Or, drive for ten minutes and clamber to the vantage point of Terrazza Panorama which unveils breathtaking views of the lake. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Sacre Monte is well worth the visit, too. Just a ten-minute drive away, the centuries-old Roman Catholic Church offers beautiful walks through the woods and of course, a stunning view of Lake Maggiore. After all that exploring and walking, you're bound to be hungry. With several supermarkets just a five-minute drive away, you can stock up on plenty of goods. Enjoy barbecues on your balcony and sip on your newfound favourite local wine.
