Domaso holiday house: DOMASO COMO LAKE

The holiday we took in August 08 exceeded our expectations!
Although Domaso is a long drive from the airports, it is really worth it! The location is truly stunning, with more beach areas than further south. Also, the restaurants and services tend to be a lot cheaper than further down the lake. The town has a supermarket (not cheap though!) a few shops and lots of pizzerias and restaurants. There is enough to do, while retaining a real Italian feel that isn't too touristy!
The accomodation is wonderful! We rented both apartments, as we were one family of 4 (with a 7 and 3 yr old), a couple and one single person. The layout of the apartments is great, especially with young children. Both apartments are kitted out well - you need to ask for an iron though. The view from the upatairs flat is spectacular, over the little streets to the lake and mountains!
Outside is great! The pool is lovely, with a good deep area and an area perfect for kids. There is a ledge all around - again great for kids. The pool is shared with the owners of the apartments - who live in the house next door. There are often a couple of children around. We personally loved this, and it was lovely to get to know the children a bit!
Outside the upstairs flat is a large patio balcony overlooking the pool. This perfect for bbqs and outside dining, although it does not get the evening sun. It is also great for small children, as the gate locks, so they are safe from the pool and steps. We took a small paddling pool for our little one and put it up here.
Overall, we had a fantastic holiday and loved the accomodation we chose. We would reccommend it to anyone and would love to come back ourselves. We loved the fact that it was only a short walk to the lake and the town, but was nestled into the hill on a very narrow cobbled street, which gives it it's character. The local children in the pool and the older ladies pruning and sweeping on the patio also added to this authenticity!

Beautiful area, very quiet and secluded, glad we had a car. If you like mountains and lakeviews, this is the place for you. We walked daily up the mountain, great workout, great scenery. It was very clean and well maintained, had our own large terrace overlooking the pool which was only a few steps below the terrace.The owners were very friendly and helpful. There was a restaurant right next door (we liked the place so much we chose to cook all our meals). We would definitely recommend this property to friends.

Das Haus liegt ideal. So weit weg vom See, dass man seine Ruhe hat, aber dennoch so nah, dass man zu Fuß zum Strand oder in den Supermarkt gehen kann.

Die Photos vom Hausinneren sind realistisch, aber der Pool und seine Umgebung sind wesentlich schöner, als abgebildet.

Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man im Urlaub benötigt. Auch eine Kaffeemaschine wurde zwischenzeitlich angeschafft ;-)

Die von den Vormietern angesprochene Geräuschbelästigung ( Hühner, Kirchenglocken, etc. ) existiert, stellt für den toleranten Urlauber aber kein Problem dar.

Für sportlich ambitionierte Urlauber gibt es neben dem Wassersport, wie Windsurfen, Wakeboarden, Segeln, Motorbootverleih und anderem auch Möglichkeit zum Beachvolleyball, Wander- und Fahrradtouren, Mountainbikeverleih und vieles mehr.

Auch kulinarisch ist von der Touristenverpflegung in Strandnähe bis hin zum kleinen, verträumten Restaurant in dem lokale Spezialitäten serviert werden alles vorhanden.

Die Gastgeberfamilie ist völlig unkompliziert, nett und zurückhaltend, aber immer greifbar, wenn man sie braucht.

Wir, 2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder ( 10 und 13 J.), werden sichlich wiederkomen.
