Everything was as described with no disappointment. Perfect in every way.

We enjoyed our stay at Vista Lago on Lake Maggiore. Chantal Rowley was very responsive and provided comprehensive info on the condo and Stresa which was was appreciated. The condo is in a perfect location -- an easy walk to the town square, shops and restaurants. A small car is recommended given the narrow streets and garage. The condo is well equipped and clean. Everything was as stated. We enjoyed our stay at Vista Lago on Lake Maggiore!

This apartment is not the cheapest but is worth every penny. The apartment itself is spacious and well decorated. The terrace catches the sun most of the day, although there is also plenty of shade. The view over the lake and Stresa is spectacular. Lake Maggiore is beautiful. The perfect place to relax, chill and enjoy the dolce vita!

Chantal and Giuliano were both very helpful and responsive. The view of the lake and mountains is spectacular! Spacious apartment.

A stunning, luxurious, well-appointed, immaculate condo in a gorgeous setting. We felt that we were privileged houseguests in the home of a refined lady who was out-of-town for a few days, not merely transient renters in a condo where maximizing profit was the goal -- which is usually the feeling that we have in Vrbo rentals. The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped, although we used only the refrigerator and the microwave. Chantal Rowley, assistant Giuliano, and taxi driver Mario could not have been any more pleasant to communicate with. We had an unforgettable stay at Vista Lago and would love to return!

Fantastic apartment, wonderful views and brilliant communication with owner and caretaker.

This is a large, modern, clean & well equipped apartment. Both bathrooms are large with plumbing fixtures worthy of a 5 star hotel. Double sinks and a large tub in one bath and a large walk-in shower in the second full bathroom. Both open to the main hallway. 2 big bedrooms with lots of storage space & big windows with stunning views of the city and lake. Plenty of elec outlets. kitchen is a long galley with a big refrigerator/freezer (large by EU standards). The big kitchen window opens to the city and the Alps of Switzerland beyond. The kitchen has all the tools you will need for all but the most ambitious, sophisticated menu. The largest room is the dining-living room with its high (9 foot?) ceilings and wall-o’windows opening to the full lake view north to Lucarno. The room ends at large patio doors opening onto the massive covered, wraparound patio. The patio runs East West and receives lots of sun from morning to sunset. There is always a little shade to be found but lower one of the four roller awnings and the shaded area expands massively. Our late August required the western awning from 2-7pm to meet our shade requirements and it made the comfortable difference. The 4 place patio table was our go to spot for all meals. That view cannot be ignored. The patio seating includes a large cushioned couch and two chairs also 4 chaise loungers. Yes there is a mini-split air conditioner in the living room and it cools the entire apartment effectively on hot, still days. The immediate neighborhood is entirely residential and quiet. Shops and full grocery stories are 10-12 minute walk down the hill and through the pleasant charming old town streets. Old Stresa is charming and not overrun with tourists. There are no noise issues at night from discos or restaurants. It takes 30 minutes to walk from the apartment down to the lake through Stresa and along the lakeside promenade to its northern conclusion at the next village: Carciano. Thats not far and it’s a beautiful walk past the grand hotels and beach clubs. Swimming? We are swimmers and struggled to find a great beach. They exist so don’t despair Bring water shoes! it’s rocky not sandy. We walked 10 minutes down and east to the Minigolf-private club-public beach area. There is a sidewalk the entire walk. The Agent was excellent, easy to reach and always gracious and helpful. Parking is secure in the bldg’s garage. The streets to the apt are narrow and confusing so seek his help in advance.

We stayed 2 nights during Europe’s blazing heat wave. And they were the most comfortable nights of our trip. The apartment is great; the deck is magical. Excellent check in and support from hosts.
