Vakantie Vira

Verblijf is goed. Jammer dat er geen terras/balkon aanwezig is aan het appartement.weinig begrip is voor gezinnen met kinderen omdat de overige appartementen allemaal tweede verblijven zijn van Zwitsers en niet veel kunnen verdragen.

About the host

Hosted by Urs Grütter

Studied Mechanical Engineering and Business Management and am now retired. My sporting interests were or are handball, hiking, skiing, tennis, mountain climbing and motorcycling. My cultural interests are mainly art, art history, design, classical music and also rock, pop or jazz, museums, exhibitions and general history. Had been very often to Greece and Turkey, and also to China, Indonesia and Iceland.

Why they chose this property

I am now retired and was looking for a nice quiet place to be able to withdraw myself back and relax and found it in the Residenza ViraLago.

What makes this property unique

Residenza ViraLago is located very beautifully and especially, directly on Lake Maggiore with a beautiful view of Lake Maggiore. Vira is a small, typical Ticino village with the appropriate private and pristine atmosphere. Ideal are the extremely short distance to shopping, bus stop, pharmacy, to the tourist information, a butcher with daily fresh fish from the lake, to the post office and restaurants. The infrastructure of ViraLago is very good and is in an excellent condition, i.e. with a laundry room (washer and dryer), gym with television, sauna and cold plunge pool and lounge room, indoor pool with massage jets, three lawns (one in front of the indoor pool, another one below with pergola and tables for dining or for enjoying a glass of wine, and a third one towards the private beach with a variety of boats and equipment.
