The North West Italy / Piedmont/Lake Maggiore region
Lake Maggiore is nestled on the edge of the alps. The lake is surrounded with mountains often still snow capped in the summer. The top of the lake is in Switzerland easily accessible by road or ferries.
The lake shore is scattered with beautiful small towns some clinging to the mountain edges. These towns have good selection of shops, restaurants and cafes to sit and admire the wonderful views.
Food is excellent as it should be in Italy- rustic dishes of meat and polenta in the mountains, pasta,meat,wonderful cheese and plenty of lake fish dishes to choose from. Wide choices of wine--nebbiolo and Barolo and Barbaresco and whites Asti Spumante and persecco a must for a aperitif!
The weather is very varied. Dec,Jan and Feb are cold and snow on the mountains but only sometimes by the lake.But then in these months you get some lovely clear sunny days and find a sheltered spot , like our balcony and you can eat outside! The roads are always cleared of snow, though you may need snow chains if going very high up in the mountains,but the roads leading to apartment are always cleared and gritted.
March and April get warmer the spring flowers and trees are a site to see. May onwards till mid Sept gets hotter it can go to 30 degrees July and August with lovely warm evenings.
Being surrounded by mountains you can experience some spectacular thunder storms- if at night make a wonderful sight to watch!

Clean and working apartment with balcony to good direction. You can see over the lake to mountains. Safe parking to the car. |

An excellent flat with all modern facilities. The apartment is well furnished, well maintained and exceptionally clean. The layout is ideal and gives a feeling of space. But the views from the balcony are the icing on the cake. No need to go out to a restaurant, although there are plenty within walking distance, just relax and watch the boats on the lake and dine out in style. There are wonderful places to visit around the area making the flat an ideal centre for sightseeing |
