Quiet Peaceful Italian Apartment
This two room apartment is located on a small, private and quiet roadway. It is in a small complex that used to be a paper mill and is now apartments. It is not fancy, but a typical and traditional italian apartment. There were not many people around when we were there in May and it was very quiet. The complex overlooks Lake Maggiore. There is a small balcony and the apartment is two levels with the bedroom and bathroom being upstairs. In addition, there is a staircase to get up to the apartment. The apartment contains all amenities needed as far as an equipped kitchen, iron, hair dryer and TV. You need a car to get around as the apartment is not located within a town, however the towns of Meina and Lesa are just a 5-10 minute car ride away and the larger towns of Stresa and Arona are 15-20 minutes by car. Milan is about a hour car ride as is Lake Como. You can also get a taxi but due to the location of the apartment I would strongly recommend your own car. It is not easy to walk to the nearby towns since the only main roadway is busy and does not have a walking path. The owner is lovely and accommodating. She and her fiance met us at the property upon arrival and showed us around. She was available by phone if we needed anything during our stay and was always quick to answer emails before, during and after our stay.
