About this apartment rental
Vecchia Scuderia means Old Stable in Italian. And this is precisely what the building was before the Lauster family transformed it into a beautiful luxury apartment. It borders the estate of the 'Casa degli amici' (see property No. 20227) on the upper side above the gardens and closes off the compound against the village plaza. The bordering garden offers our guests a quiet place amongst palms, rhododendrons, camellias and fig trees, a place for a quiet read or a siesta. The village of Biganzolo is located on the west bank of Lago Maggiore, about 18 miles from Ascona in Switzerland heading south, or about 40 miles drive from Milano Malpensa Airport, going north. Biganzolo is one of the many small romantic villages nestled on the hill sides along the lake. These villages are known for their art crafts and cooking.
The environment: Lago Maggiore although known to be a tourist attraction, remains rather unspoilt by mass tourism or for instance the Toscana. The Alps to the north and the mountainous surroundings of this area offer a wonderful opportunity for outdoor activities. Val Grande National Park, to mention one of many hiking opportunities (located only minutes by car from Biganzolo) is an undiscovered around multifaceted paradise for hikers. The area is also becoming known for mountain biking. Hiking offers trails to roaring waterfalls in wild canyons, mountain streams, beech and chestnut forests and little stone villages, mostly abandoned, built centuries ago from stones quarried from the mountain sides. At the end of trails you might find an eight hundred year old church or monastery or a quaint little village in which to have ice cream and a cool drink of water. Views from the mountain tops are breathtaking and always worth the effort.
Further Information: Also there is the lake: scheduled ferries connect all villages and towns along the huge lake, but the highlights are of course the Borromeo islands (Isola Bella, Isola Madre and Isola Pescatore) which offer castles, botanical gardens and restaurants with incredible views. These islands are perfect for interesting outings and romantic dinners. Visit the numerous cultural and social events at Stresa and Pallanza, Locarno and Ascona.
