le bien est fort bien situé avec une vue exceptionnelle sur le lac de Lugano. c'est tout autant bluffant de profiter de la vue de l'intérieur de la piscine. La maison est fort bien équipée et d'un très bon confort

Gute Tag
Hier noch ein Feedback zu unseren Ferien, es war herrlich und wir werden jederzeit gerne wieder kommen. Verbesserungsvorschlag: es wäre von Vorteil wenn der blaue Ordner Bestandteil vom Vertrag ist, und z. B. auf dem Tisch läge. Wir haben ihn nicht sofort gesehen und somit konnten wir den Pool erst nach 2 Tagen reinigen, er war bei unserem Eintreffen nicht sauber.
Sonst schliesse ich mich zum Feedback von meiner Schwester an.
Herzliche Grüsse aus Bern

Good morning, thanks. The vacation was fantastic. Friendly and excellent team. I hope your website supports Arabic or people who speak Arabic. Many friends want to deal with you. You have sent your site to more than one friend. I'm interested in dealing with you on my next vacation.

Stunning view!! Very peaceful and quiet, and generally clean, and properly maintained. Beautiful location! Two unexpected disappointments, however: 1. The listing states there are 15 steps to negotiate to get from the road. Definitely not true. The correct number is 42 steps, all steep, winding and uneven, and unprotected from the weather. It was discouraging to have to haul our luggage by hand up all of these steps at the end of a long journey. 2. The second bedroom is tiny; two single beds leave only a narrow corridor to get in and out. Bathroom access is through living room. Note also that the pool is unheated.

This property has an amazing view. I can say one of the best I have ever been. The Marcote small town along the lake is very close by (3-4 min drive by car) is a very cosy and nice town. You can find good restaurants here. Lugano center is 20 mins by drive. Having a car is a must to be able travel around. The nights are really calm and with the spectacular view of the lake, the sunsets are amazing. Our 6 year old kid has enjoyed the pool as well. All in all, it was a nice 4 days for the family.

This house has an amazing view looking out onto Italy. Located in the quiet neighborhood of Morcote - which is just beautiful. Lugano is a short drive away. It is absolutely amazing. The view is just breathtaking at all times of day. Enjoyed the view whilst the kids and dog played outside. House is perfect size for a family of 5. The house was clean and everything was available for us. The management was very efficient as we had all the details well before we arrived. We hope to return when it is warmer to get more use out of pool.
