We are open to offers for 'gap weeks', vacant weeks between other bookings within the next three months. Likewise, we are able to offer low rates for long stays in the off-season. This is particularly attractive if you want to get away - to write a paper, start a painting, complete a project, finish a book, experiment with cookery, and so on. Overlooking the Lake from full-length double-glazed windows, in winter the apartment is a warm cocoon for creative people, with perfect peace and tranquillity. All your day-to-day needs are easy to obtain, assuring you of complete rest. Our service people are wonderful and you'll love the environment. Ask me how we can help: David Dixon +44 (0) 1952 850441.

Lake Maggiore

Near to Milan, Italy offers Lake Garda, Lake Como and one of Italy's largest lakes, Lake Maggiore. This has fast, modern, lakeside ferry boats. Regular services plus high-speed catarmarans and hydrofoils take you to the towns and villages around the Lake - these will be a highlight of your holiday. Places to visit by boat are the lovely village of Cannobio and the town of Stresa which features magnificent 19th century luxury hotels where you might expect to meet Agatha Christie and Hercule Poirot. Opposite Stresa are the Borromean Islands - Isola Bella 'beautiful island' has a fairytale palace and garden. Isola Madre and Isola Pescatori also have great appeal. An inexpensive water taxi from Stresa takes you there. A great day out is the Lago Maggiore Express by boat from Luino up the Lake to the Swiss towns of Ascona and Locarno where you take the 'Hundred Valley' train into the Swiss Alps then connect to Stresa and back by boat to Luino. A lovely day trip.

Luino, Lugano, Como and other Italian Lakes

Luino is a nice town by the lakeside with shops, supermarkets and good restaurants (Hotel Camin is highly recommended for a celebration dinner for two or for a party). Luino hosts a huge street market on Wednesdays - another highlight. A fantastic bread shop is off the main square - early risers can pop down for your scrummy breakfast rolls. Alternatively, within walking distance, a small modern supermarket opens at 8.30am. Another advantage is that you are 30-mins by car from Switzerland and the Swiss city of Lugano - and 45-mins from the Italian city of Como. Lake Como enjoys its own lakeside ferry service and features the gorgeous town of Bellagio, plus Villa Carlotta - try spotting George Clooney's villa. Further visits can be made to Lake Garda and the smaller Italian Lakes. We recommend the 'AA Guide to The Italian Lakes' for good information, in particular its 'Top Ten', all of which are easy day-excursions from the apartment (available from AA Publishing).

Milan

An advantage of Italy is your access to low-cost trains. A 60-min commuter train (90-min normally) takes you to Milan city centre. The city is famous for shopping, fashion, rich history - and its cathedral, a forest of stone pinnacles, totally OTT. It's a short metro train ride to Santa Maria delle Grazie and da Vinci's fantastic oil painting 'THE LAST SUPPER', now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Book a 15-min time slot, like a private viewing, at the English language website http://www.cenacolovinciano.org/english/index.html. Pinch yourself, you're standing in front of Leonardo's greatest masterpiece. Milan, one of the premier cities of Europe, is worth an overnight stay. There are hundreds of inexpensive restaurants & hotels. Opera is available to the man-in-the-street in Italy - so buy seats at La Scala Milan, described as the world's favourite opera house in '1000 Places To See Before You Die'. Italy has 63 entries - La Scala is number 26 (Page 203). This city has buzz!

'A little untouched piece of paradise and to wake up to that view in the morning, well... I am not pleased to be back home! Manager Laura was great, a lovely person' - Jacqueline.
'... the first two days looking at the view from the apartment. It exceeded all our expectations. Other lakeside places are beautiful with Cannobio voted our favourite village and Stresa our favourite town' Joan & Vince.
“A lovely place. The ferry terminal in Luino allowed us relaxing, car-free journeys to lovely lakeside villages and towns. We particularly enjoyed the ‘100 Valley’ boat & train ride from Luino to Locarno and back to Stresa - and the beautiful gardens of Isola Bella. Definitely a place to revisit” Dorothy and Bob.
'We think it's lovely - the children are at home here. They say it reminds them of our beach house in Australia - and they are right. Got the internet working thanks to Laura. She is such a delightful person.' Rob.
'It's a ripper of a place, even the spa pool worked!' Peter.
