super fun house for family's with children

We have had the most warm welcome ever bij Gianni, Elena and Anna: kind words, soup and bread, fresh fruit, herbs from the garden: we felt at home at once! Our kids loved the house full off surprises: so many games and toys. The house is in a tiny village and close by the Lago Maggiore: plenty of beautifull villages and nice restaurants in the neighbourhood. There is one disadvantage: the football-table in the basement was so much fun that it is was quite addictive and added some serious competention between de boys and girls in our family ;-)...

Heerlijk verblijf bij super gastvrije mensen

We hebben een heel fijne vakantie gehad met onze zoon van 6 en onze hond. Er is genoeg speelgoed waar kinderen zich mee kunnen vermaken (tafelvoetbal, spelletjes). Het huis is ruim, licht en schoon en de eigenaren zijn geweldig. Heel behulpzaam en beschikbaar maar allesbehalve opdringerig. Een aanrader.

Schöner Aufenthalt!

Das Haus ist liebevoll saniert und sehr gepflegt. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Das es etwas abgelegen vom See liegt haben wir sehr genossen. Familie Magistris ist herzlich, liebevoll und überaus freundlich. Wir haben uns jederzeit willkommen gefühlt! Für Familien mit Kindern eine klare Empfehlung. Die Eltern können im Garten entspannen, die Kinder toben sich an den schier unendlichen Spielmöglichkeiten aus. Für sie ist es das Paradies :)

Leidenschaftliche Gastgeber und tolles Haus!

Wir hatten 10 wundervolle Tage in Santino. Das Haus ist sehr schön und bot uns (4 Erwachsene, 1 Kind, 1 Hund) ausreichend Platz. Der große, komplett eingezäunte Garten, sowie der mit Spielsachen und Elektrogefährten gefüllte Keller sind ein wahres Kinderparadies. Beim Frühstück im Gartenpavillon konnten wir morgens die Eidechsen, auf der Jagd nach den ersten Sonnenstrahlen beobachten. Ein Fliegengitter bietet Schutz vor den leider sehr aggressiven asiatischen Tigermücken. Schutzsprays und Cortisonhaltige Allergiesalben sind sehr zu empfehlen. Die Familie Magistris sind leidenschaftliche Gastgeber. Wir wurden am Anreisetag mit einer super leckeren, hausgemachten Gemüsesuppe, sowie frischem Brot und Obst empfangen. Die Lage war für uns absolut optimal. Nicht direkt am See sondern etwas außerhalb war es schön ruhig. Lediglich von der benachbarten Bar drang Abends noch etwas Musik und Gelächter herüber, was uns nicht weiter gestört hat. Verbania und der nächste Zugang zum See beispielsweise in Pallanza oder Intra sind in 10-15 Minuten erreichbar. Zum Einkaufen stehen kleinere Dorfläden, aber auch LIDL, Penny oder ALDI zur Verfügung. Sehr zu empfehlen ist Tigros. Hier haben wir die größte Auswahl im Sortiment gefunden. Lecker gegessen haben wir in der Villa Bianca in Ghiffa, im La Griglia di Tano in Bieno und im Hostaria Vita in Stresa. Das beste Eis gibt es in der Gelateria di Cannobio. Ausflüge zu den Borromäischen Inseln und zum Markt in Cannobio dürfen nicht fehlen.

Tolles Haus in ruhiger Lage mit unbeschreiblich viel Beschäftigungs,-und Spielmöglichkeiten für die Kinder. Dank eingezäuntem Garten auch perfekt für den Hund. Der überdachte Pavillon sorgte dafür, das man auch bei einem Schauer trockenen Hauptes draußen sitzen bleiben konnte. In der Nähe eine tolle Badestelle und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten auch nicht allzu weit entfernt. Tolle Gastgeber, die uns herzlich empfangen haben und uns freundlich mit sämtlichen Informationen versorgt haben. Zur Begrüßung gab es eine leckere Gemüsesuppe, Brot und Obst….eine tolle Aufmerksamkeit. Insgesamt waren die Vermieter sehr unkompliziert und jederzeit ansprechbar.

Wunderbarer Familienurlaub

Obwohl wir etwas zu früh ankamen, waren die Vermieter zeitnah da und haben uns auf das herzlichste mit hausgemachter Gemüsesuppe empfangen. Wir haben noch nie ein so familienfreundliches und gut ausgestattetes Ferienhaus erlebt wie dieses. Über Einkaufs- und Freizeitangebot gab uns Elena umfangreich Auskunft. Bäcker, Supermarkt, Restaurants und See sind innerhalb von 10-15 Minuten problemlos mit dem Auto erreichbar. Die Küche ist dabei so gut ausgestattet, dass wir garnicht auswärts essen wollten. Die in der näheren Umgebung befindliche Badestelle im Fluss ist sehr schön, weswegen wir es oft vorzogen, dorthin zu gehen, um zu klettern, baden und Sonne zu tanken. Das Haus ist äußerst sauber und gepflegt. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Der Aufenthalt war wunderbar. Das Haus hatte alles was man sich wünschen konnte. Auch ist die Lage des Objektes sehr angenehm. Wir waren mit 2 Kindern dort. Die 2 hatten mega Freude an dem ausgebauten Spielparadis im Keller. Dadurch hatten wir Erwachsenen auch mal Zeit für uns. Draußen saß es sich sehr gemütlich unter dem Pavillon. Dies hatte schöne Abende zur Folge. Der große Gasgrill wurde fast jeden Abend genutzt. Von dem Haus ist man in 30 min fast überall. Wir haben die Ferien sehr genossen und werden wiederkommen.

Soggiorno piacevolissimo in una località incantevole

Io, mio marito e i nostri due bimbi abbiamo soggiornato 15 giorni in questa casa...l'accoglienza della signora Elena e dei suoi genitori è stata eccezionale, sono persone fantastiche pronte a soddisfare ogni necessità. La casa pulitissima è dotata di ogni comfort ed è super accessoriata, per non parlare della quantità di giochi presenti (che coprono ogni fascia di età) a disposizione dei bimbi. Inoltre la posizione della casa è ideale per poter godere della tranquillità della montagna ma allo stesso tempo della vivacità del lago. I dintorni sono magnifici, con panorami da togliere il fiato. In conclusione..è stato un soggiorno meraviglioso e senz'altro torneremo presto a trovare la famiglia Magistris. Grazie di tutto!!!

Erwartungen übertroffen...! Sehr empfehlenswert!

Wir sind als erfahrene Ferienhausurlauber von dem Objekt (Ausstattung, Sauberkeit, Geräumigkeit, Freizeitangebot, Lage) absolut begeistert gewesen. Da wir auch im Urlaub gerne kochen, haben wir die zahlreichenden Küchenutensilien zu schätzen gewusst. Gegessen wurde dann jeden Abend auf der Terrasse, wobei auch der Grill mehrfach zum Einsatz kam. Besonders gefallen hat uns der Spielebereich im Keller. Tischkicker und Tischtennisplatte kamen oft zum Einsatz. Ein weiteres Highlight ist die mit dem Auto 3 Minuten / zu Fuß 10 Minuten entfernte Badestelle am Fluss San Bernardino, die wir jeden Tag angefahren haben. Das Szenario mit Wasserfall, Sprungfelsen und kleinen Badebuchten gleicht Eindrücken aus der Karibik. Von Santino aus ist man in 10 Autominuten in Verbania (beste Einkaufsmöglichkeiten + Bummeln am See + Inseln) und Mergozzo (Bummeln). Ebensoschnell kommt man von dort in die Berge und findet phantastische Wanderwege und sensationelle Aussichtspunkte. Abgerundet wurde das überaus positive Gesamtbild von der ehrlichen Herzlichkeit der Familie Magistris, die uns sehr beeindruckt hat. Dafür und dass wir bei Ihnen so einen tollen Urlaub verbringen durften, möchten wir uns von ganzem Herzen bedanken! Fam. Perin Il oggetto (servizi, pulizia, spaziosità, strutture per il tempo libero, posizione) era assolutamente perfetto per noi. Dato che ci piace cucinare in vacanza, abbiamo apprezzato i numerosi utensili da cucina. E 'stato poi mangiato ogni sera sulla terrazza, dove la griglia è stata utilizzata più volte. Ci è particolarmente piaciuta l'area giochi nel seminterrato. Spesso si utilizzavano il calcio balilla e il ping pong. Un altro punto saliente è la zona balneare di San Bernardino (3 min. in auto), che abbiamo guidato per ogni giorno. Lo scenario con cascata, salto rocce e piccole baie ricorda le impressioni dei Caraibi. Da Santino sei in 10 minuti di auto a Verbania (miglior shopping + passeggiate sul lago + isole) e Mergozzo (passeggiando). Quasi con la stessa velocità puoi salire da lì in montagna e trovare fantastici percorsi escursionistici e punti panoramici sensazionali. Il quadro estremamente positivo è stato completato dall'onesta cordialità della famiglia Magistris, che ci ha impressionato molto. Per quello e che potremmo trascorrere una vacanza così bella in casa vostra, vorremmo ringraziarvi dal profondo dei nostri cuori! Fam. Perin

A quiet retreat between the lake and mountains

The property is the perfect retreat and base from which to explore the area. Everything you could possibly need has been supplied, from utensils, kettle, coffee machine to various spices, salt, pepper, coffee etc. All cleaning materials are supplied, even washing powder and fabric softener. The bedrooms are large, bright and airy and have very comfortable beds. There is a large dining table inside and another outside, where we spent most of our time. There are all sorts of toys and games for children, plus an outdoor playground. Our daughter didn't want to leave! We even had bed guards supplied, which saved us packing them. The family have thought of everything. You literally couldn't wish for anything more. The whole place was spotlessly clean. Ideally, you need a car to be able to explore the area. There is private parking right outside the gate and we felt very comfortable that the car was perfectly safe there. We visited Como, Orta and several other towns and markets in the area, all within a short drive. A direct train from Stresa (15 mins away by car) takes you Milan in around an hour and is very reasonably priced. Free parking is available at and near the station. The hosts - from the moment we were greeted upon arrival we felt like we were part of the family. Gianni, Anna and Elena were very helpful and informative. We arrived to find fresh water and fruit ready for us. Gianni popped by with lettuces from his garden and Elena brought us a huge punnet of blueberries. They were insistent that if we wanted anything at all we should just call or message them. We would highly recommend this property, which has been our best experience of holiday rentals so far. It will be very difficult to beat. A huge thank you to the Magistris family for their kindness and generosity. We will be back!
