VILLETTA ROSA Lake Maggiore Sleeps 5 adults + 1 child HIGHLIGHTS: 4 bedrooms (1 with air conditioning)/2 bathrooms romantic lakeshore cottage with beautiful views and private dock billiard table

DESCRIPTION:

This immaculate little cottage is located right on the shore of Lake Maggiore and has its own mooring and beach. The architecture is Spanish Mediterranean, with a white stucco exterior, red-tiled roof, and arched doorways surrounded by lush tropical plantings. A green lawn and spacious garden extends from the villa to the lake, and lawn furniture is provided for enjoying the sun or dining al fresco.

The location is peaceful and private, yet remarkably convenient. A sports club with tennis courts and a pool is a 10-minute walk from the villa and can be used by guests for a daily or weekly fee. Two golf courses are located within 10-15 minutes' drive, with several more less than an hour away. The ferry to the other lake towns and islands docks at Belgirate (10 min. walk). A pedestrian route behind the house offers a panoramic view of Lake Maggiore and leads to the nearby town of Lesa (5 min.), where there are grocery shops and restaurants. The ancient town of Stresa is just 10 kilometers north, and Switzerland is just half an hour away.

Villetta Rosa is located in an exclusive gated community, far from the bustle of the road that runs along the lakeshore. The house has two wings, connected by a courtyard. The friendly, English-speaking owner lives in one wing and will do everything possible to help you enjoy your stay without intruding.

Three doors lead into the house from the garden. The furnishings are of high quality with spacious rooms and every comfort. The living room has a fireplace, satellite TV, and a billiard table, with large arched French doors opening onto the garden. Next to the large eat-in kitchen is a dining room with a round table seating four and direct access to the garden.

There are three bedrooms at Villetta Rosa. One is a double bedroom with its own bath and independent access from the garden. This bedroom is connected to the rest of the house by passing through a single bedroom. Adjacent to that bedroom is a bathroom with an old fashioned marble tub as well as a separate stall shower. Overlooking the single bedroom from a loft is the master bedroom, which is air conditioned. On this upper level there is also a second, smaller single bedroom appropriate for a child under 10.

Villetta Rosa is a quaint, intimate accomodation that is full of charm and is ideal for a honeymoon couple, two couples traveling together, or a family with children.
