Charming House "Garden of the Gods"

House of character. Recently renovated, it re-proposes the typical appearance of the Italian house, but with all the comforts of modern life.
It consists of two areas: the living area consisting of:
  large and luminous living room with sofa, armchairs and large television,
  dining area with a large table for 6-8 people and a small television,
  large and well-equipped kitchen
1 complete bathroom
  small garden equipped for a small breakfast.
The second area is accessed via comfortable stairs that are interrupted by a veranda-living room:
  it consists of three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The rooms are spacious and bright, two of them have a balcony where you can enjoy a beautiful lake view.
The house is well finished, with particular attention to furnishings
chosen, to respect the origin of the house but with a touch of glamor to increase, if still possible, the charm of this house.
This house is located in the square of the historic center of the village of Cissano, and to give the possibility to its guests to live in the middle of nature, is provided, at a distance of 100 meters, of (we can say) a park ( 1600 sqm) with swimming pool.
Describe the garden is difficult, but it is possible to tell about the comforts that guests will find: sofas for relaxation, tables for lunch, a lovely little house for the kitchen garden service ...... yes because they will find a kitchen to garden also equipped with barbeque and stove for outdoor cooking.
A small bathroom is present in the garden.
the swimming pool is the pride of the structure.
I do not want to describe it because I do not want to ruin the nice surprise that certainly will not fail.
In the less hot periods, the pool water is slightly heated at a temperature of around 20 degrees.

Beautiful house.
We had a wonderful stay in this house, beautiful decorations and layout of a really comfortable house for the four of us to relaxing. A small pretty village to walk around, and it isn’t far to drive to good restaurants and bars. The garden is beautiful and lovely with a really great pool, it’s not too far to walk up and down the hill to it… But make sure you take plenty of mosquito spray! A truly beautiful home and garden for a relaxing stay. Any questions we had the owner was very quick in replying to us.

Relaxing break
Giovana is a wonderful host. Her house and garden were beautiful and it made a perfect location for visiting various hillside and lakeside location around Maggiore. We explored Vogogna, Mergozzo and the Islands and had lots of lovely meals in Pallanza. Although the house is a short walk away it was not a problem. It is very private and perfect for swimming and sunbathing. I do hope we come back to this area and, if we do we, would love to stay here again.

A great spot to get away from it all!
The pool and the garden were breathtaking! The house was very comfortable and plenty of room. Convenient location to the lake area and shops and restaurants. Very clean and quiet neighborhood. You need a car as there is no convenient public transit. Comfortable beds and great water pressure , plus plenty of hot water. When booking, get the gps coordinates, as the house is on a narrow road, and you park in a lot 50 meters away. Giovanna is a wonderful hostess and provided every thing you need, and is very responsive to your needs. I highly recommend her property!

Ein italienisches Naturparadies mit Charme - An italian natureparadies with authentic charme
Unser Aufenthalt war einmalig italienisch. Der Garten ist trotz der Moskitos traumhaft schön und idyllisch mit kompletter Privatsphäre. Die Gastgeberin Elena hat Moskitonetze installiert und uns Sprays gegeben. Wir haben uns damit gut arrangiert und konnten den Garten in vollen Zügen mit unserer Hündin nutzen. Der gesamte Garten ist umzäunt. Elena und Familie kümmern sich rührend um ihre Gäste und stehen jederzeit bei Fragen zur Verfügung. Das Haus hat viel Charme und ist mitten in dem Wohnort Cissano verwurzelt. Man erlebt alles hautnah und lebt nicht fernab von Land und Menschen in einem touristischen Ort. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Danke für die traumhaft schöne Zeit am Lago Maggiore, liebe Elena. Wir kommen irgendwann zurück! Our time was incredible italian. In the garden are mosquitoes. Our host Elena installed mosquito nets and gave us sprays though we could deal with it. It was a wonderful and amazing time, though. We lived very good and enjoined our time with barbecue, swimming and relaxing. Our dog had also a wonderful time, because the garden is completely fenced. Elena and her family took good care of us and was very helpful every time. The house has its own charm and the little village isn't touristic. We lived with italian people in their daily life with work and their leisure time. This is amazing and has its own character. The set of italian house and silent garden was perfect for us. At the end we are very thankful for the one

Even wonen in Verbania
Prachtig huis met heel mooie tuin, waardoor je echt even het gevoel hebt hie het is om daar te wonen. Verbania is mooi en niet te druk in het hoogseizoen. We hebben een heerlijke tijd gehad. Elena doet enorm haar best om je te voorzien van alle benodigde informatie.

Traumhafter Garten, aber altes Haus
Unsere Bewertung fällt sehr zweigeteilt aus. Während der Garten mit Pool sich als ein grünes Paradies herausstellte, schien uns das Haus sehr in die Jahre gekommen und müsste dringend renoviert werden. Der Pool hat eine gute Größe und ist nicht einsehbar. Das Grundstück umfasst eine riesige Fläche mit sehr schöner, vielfältiger Begrünung. Es gibt eine Toilette (nützlich, da das Haus etwas entfernt liegt), ein Gartenhaus mit Kühlschrank und sehr viele. Sitzgelegenheiten. Lediglich die Mücken haben uns das kleine Paradies etwas vermiest. Das Haus wurde mehrfach angebaut und wirkt in der Raumaufteilung etwas planlos. Große Menschen ab 1,85cm müssen immer wieder bei Türrahmen, Bädern und Lampen den Kopf einziehen. Die Zimmer sind groß und funktional eingerichtet, aber oft sehr dunkel. Einige Möbel passen nicht gut ins Konzept und für unseren Geschmack war es etwas zu viel Dekoration. Die Nachteile waren allerdings der Mief von zu viel Feuchtigkeit in den Räumen, der sich auch durch Lüften kaum vertreiben ließ und sich in den Schränken festgesetzt hat. Einige Ecken besonders in den Bädern waren gammlig und die vielen alten Holzbalken und Steinen laden unzählige Spinnen zum Netzbau ein. Übrigens kann man den See auch nur von einem winzigen Balkon in einer engen Gasse (gegenüberliegende Hauswand ist nur wenige Meter entfernt) sehen. Leider ist auch vom Garten der See nicht sichtbar. Es gibt also keinen Seeblick. In Summe haben wir uns leider nicht wohlgefühlt.

Traumurlaub am Lago Maggiore
Super freundliche Gastgeberin die jederzeit erreichbar war. Unkomplzierte Schlüsselübergabe. Sehr sehr schönes Haus, vorallem geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Zudem noch ein wunderschöner Garten mit riesigem Pool. In jeglicher Hinsicht weiterzuempfehlen!!!

Ruhig und entspannt mit Blick auf den See
Die Wohnung war für uns (2 Erwachsene, 3 Jugendliche) ideal. Sie ist sehr groß mit 3 Schlafzimmern, bietet viele Sitzgelegenheiten und Stauraum, 3 schöne Bäder, bequeme Betten und eine außergewöhnliche Architektur. Das Steinhaus befindet sich mitten im Ort in einem mittelalterlich anmutenden Gässchen, das in nur einer Minute Fußweg zu dem paradiesischen Garten führt. Dieser bietet eine üppige Vegetation, mehrere Sitzgelegenheiten, schattig und sonnig, und natürlich den herrlichen Pool, der sehr gepflegt ist. Grill, Gasherd, Geschirr - alles ist da zur freien Nutzung. Entgegen anderen Rezensionen hatten wir keine Schnakenplage (evtl. jahreszeitbedingt), der einen oder anderen Schnake begegnet man trotzdem, deshalb hatten wir vorsorglich Autan dabei. Man kann zu Fuß zum See gehen, das zieht sich aber. Besser ist es, die Buslinie 4 zu nehmen, die Haltestelle ist direkt unterhalb des Gartens und führt direkt runter nach Intra Verbania. Es gibt auch einen öffentlichen kostenlosen Parkplatz, auch direkt unterhalb des Gartens. Elena ist eine sehr aufmerksame, freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin, die jederzeit erreichbar ist.
