Unikt feriehus med god beliggenhed, men med nogle få mangler
Helt unikt hus med meget smuk udsigt direkte til Luganosøen og beliggenhed tæt på dejlig mindre by. Den store åbne stue og det udendørs køkkenareal er smukke og velfungerende opholdssteder. Soveværelset på første sal er mindre praktisk, meget småt, kun en enkeltstående bøjlestang tøj og minimalt lys. Vi boede i huset en meget varm periode. Desværre fungerede aircondition ikke, og det varede et par dage før en mand kom ud for at sætte det i gang. Det kunne dog alligevel kun køre på meget lav ydeevne, og da det er installeret i stueetagen kunne det ikke køle temperaturen ned i soveværelset i overetagen, så det blev nogle meget varme nætter. Der er ikke pool og vaskemaskine. Af udlejningsannoncen fremgik det, at der i et nærliggende kompleks var adgang til pool og laundry service. I første samtale med det lokale udlejningskontor efter ankomst blev vi informeret om, at disse faciliteter ikke havde fandtes i længere tid, og det blev også påstået, at det ikke længere fremgik af annoncen. Det er ikke korrekt, da det stadig tydeligt fremgik af annoncen, og adgang til disse faciliteter var faktisk medvirkende til vores valg af dette hus. Der er trafikstøj fra vejen igennem den meget nærliggende by, men det vænner man sig til., og trods alt er en by med indkøbsfaciliteter tæt på også en fordel, især når der er tale om en så charmerende by. Sammenfattende har vi haft en dejlig ferie, og har nydt den fantastiske beliggenhed og det charmerende hus. Men huset ligger ikke ligefrem i den billige ende, og vi kunne forvente, at der idet mindste var fungerende indendørs nedkølingsmuligheder, og at de annoncerede eksterne services rent faktisk fandtes.

La Torre Di Porlezza
Sorry for my delayed reply, been hectic with work since we returned from holiday! We had a really lovely week in Porlezza, we just thought the whole area was beautiful, the scenery is really out of this world and everyone we met was so lovely and welcoming. I would say the scenery and the friendliness of all the locals was the best thing about our holiday, including the amazing view from the villa. The villa was lovely and we loved sitting out on an evening with the stunning lake view. The location was also perfect being so close to the village and restaurants etc. The living room area is really amazing and spacious, although we found the bed area a little small. We appreciated your tips on things to do in the area and we explored quite a lot of it, particularly enjoying the boats which we rented from nautic planet a couple of times. We would have loved to go on one of the train trips but our toddler is a bit of a handful on public transport so we travelled mostly by car. We did make it to Milan for a day trip too and did a couple of hikes. The villa was easy to find with the detailed directions and the team were very helpful when we asked for a high chair and a new cotbed. My iphoto is playing up at the moment so I can't attach any photos but will send some on in due course as we took lots of pictures of the amazing view from the living area. Thank you again for all the information you sent through.

La Torre Di Porlezza
What a really unique holiday home! La Torre Di Porlezza gave us both a very charming rustico experience as well as a luxury modern feel! The accommodation was very nice for my wife and me. Our covered lake view living space was very relaxing in the day and also very romantic at night! The holiday home was very close to the shops and restaurants in Porlezza and it was also very easy to reach Lugano too by car. We had a really great escape here! Thank you for making our time here so magic!
