MAJOR LAKE VILLA WITH GARDEN & SWIMMING POOL. AMAZING VIEW ON THE LAKE AND ALPS

The property itself was in great condition, very clean and was very comfortable. It had all the amenities you would need for a weeks stay. The views from the villa were beautiful, with seating for dining indoors and outdoors set up to get the best value of these. Thank you to Sebastiano, for making our stay so comfortable. They detailed visitor guide you compiled gave us great information of where to go and what to see in the area as well as the great tips on where to eat! We will be visiting again in the future.

we had a great stay. The view was phenomenal and the garden was spacious, beautifully maintained. The pool was clean and pleasant. There were several restaurants in the immediate vicinity. We were sad to leave .. :)

Beautiful villa, location and great help from Sebastiano, highly recommend 😀

We had a wonderful time at this house. The location was perfect and the views from the property superb. In many ways the website photos do not do justice . These were strange times to be travelling but we found no problems with any of the local rules around Covid 19 and social distancing. People were very respectful. The gardens and pool were immaculate. Il Molo the bar by the lakeside was a lovely watering hole and reasonably priced. The house facilities were very clean and well provided.Perhaps one useful addition would be a measuring jug as we did some baking nevertheless our Ciambelones turned out very well ! There are plenty of local villages to visit and a trip to Switzerland is worthwhile. The table tennis and table football were much used ! It would have been good to be able to work the air conditioning properly as the weather was very hot. We were warned about the mosquitos which was entirely justified - dawn and dusk are to be avoided. The local pharmacy was very helpful in providing medication and anti bite creams ! Sebastiano was very helpful answering our questions and concerns leading up to this holiday and was very reassuring about preparing the house prior to our visit. We had a great time and a memorable experience. In these very constrained times of a pandemic we should acknowledge the efforts of all concerned. Graham

Great property for our family vacation of 7 adults. Sebastiano and family were extremely helpful buying food for us in advance as we had a late flight and the shops were closed the following day (Easter). Check in check out was all straightforward. We loved the location; beautiful grounds and views of the lake and mountains. Our only disappointment was not being able to use the pool as it was out of season, which we were not aware of when we booked. Inside the property is well appointed and equipped. The only helpful addition would be a coffee table in the lounge area. I would definitely recommend this property.

The house was very well equipped and we enjoyed our stay very much. The pool and garden were very good and we could enjoy them all by ourselves. The view from the house was beautiful. House was convieniently located close to the village, the lake and for example supermarket. It was very easy to make day trips to places like Stresa, Orta Lake and even Switzerland. Sebastiano, the owner would also give us good tips for discovering the surroundings. Also the housekeeper was very helpful, if we had something to ask for. We could highly recommend this house and would also like to come there again.

In short: One of the best Location we have ever been. Everything you need is nearby (supermarket, restaurants, cafes etc.). But honestly there is almost no reason to leave this beautiful place with its amazing view over Lago Maggiore! The pictures do not even get close to what you will find here. To me the most important indicator for a good stay is how long it takes to feel home and relaxed. In this Place it just takes minutes. We will come back and thanks to Sebastiano and Guido for all their support!

I'm somewhat reluctant about telling people about this place - it will make it more difficult for us to return! Anyway, the pictures of the house and extensive gardens do not do justice to the property, view or the idyllic location. The owner, Sebastiano, could not have been more helpful and we will be returning either to this house or others that he owns. There is someone who lives onsite but I did not see or hear him - although I presume he must have mowed the lawns and tended to the garden at some point. We visited a number of places around the Italian lakes during our stay - and if you are looking for peaceful surroundings and a relaxed time away from home then Ranco is the place to be.

My family and I stayed in this beautiful villa for two weeks, from 8th – 22nd July 2017. The villa has everything we could have hoped for, lots of space for our four teenagers to spread out in and really lovely open plan family seating areas (for lounging and dining) for us all to be together at meal times.  The gardens and pool are gorgeous and we spent most of our two weeks here with only the odd day out and about sightseeing. We ate in for breakfast, lunch and dinner almost every day, with a family of 7 to feed this was by far the easiest and cheapest option. The BBQ was pretty much always on!There are table tennis and table football tables down in the basement which we made good use of, with the basement also being the coolest area in the house. The facilities in this villa really are great, there is loads of space, the five bedrooms, with three en-suite bathrooms, were perfect for the size of family and meant there was no queueing for showers required. Seb (the owner) is very friendly and gave us lots of suggestions of places to visit and to eat.  Ranco itself is lovely, the small bar on the water (Bar Il Molo de Ranco) is a really nice place to visit any time of the day or night, with live music on at weekends and occasionally on week nights. The staff were very friendly and the drinks very reasonably priced. Just watch out for the mosquito’s on still evenings.  There is one small shop (delicatessen) a pharmacy and a couple of restaurants. These are all within walking distance of the villa. There are a few different local supermarkets – within a five minute drive of the villa. We swam in Lake Maggiore on a few occasions, our favourite spot being a little manmade sandy beach in Ispra (five minute drive from the villa). It was a quiet little haven with a small café and the beach allowed easy access into the lake.  We spent a day in Venice (a three hour drive) and a day in Rome (an hours’ drive) – both definitely worth a visit however take your walking shoes and lots of patience. They're very, very busy. We absolutely loved Lake Maggiore and what really made our holiday was the villa – absolutely perfect for our needs with amazing views of the lake and the mountains.

The property in Ranco is a perfect place for a family holiday. The house is well equipped with a huge garden and wonderful swimming pool. My 6 year old son really got the hang of swimming during the week in it. The views over Lake Maggiore are great, and it benefits from being on the south side of the lake so the restaurants during our visit in June were not packed with tourists, just locals. Great restaurants in the area, particularly in Angera which is a 10 minute drive, though staying in with a glass of Piedmont red and some meat on the barbecue was exceptional. Sebastiano, the owner, was very helpful and a great host. One very minor request would be to have some fans/AC for the bedrooms as even in late May/June it was pretty hot/humid at night. Overall, highly recommended, particularly for families with kids as the pool is a real bonus.

The views from the villa over Lake Maggiore were wonderful. The gardens were well kept and were complemented by the garden furniture which we used for breakfast every morning, most often to the call of a cuckoo. The villa was clean, well-appointed and all the rooms were spacious, with shutters to reduce the heat during the day. It was situated well away from any noise of traffic but only a ten minute walk from Ranco and a short drive from a well-stocked supermarket. The swimming pool was secluded and free of leaves or other garden debris. It was furnished with a parasol and sun loungers on a clean tiled surround. All in all, the villa was ideal for a relaxing family holiday and proved to be a good base from which to visit places of interest on and around the lake.

Our host, Sebastiano, was warm and gracious, and could not have been more accommodating. He helped us out with some personal issues before we even arrived, and was there to greet us with additional helpful tips in planning our stay in Italy. The villa was even better than advertised! It was clean, comfortable, stylish, and fully equipped. The view looking out over Lake Maggiore was tranquil and beautiful. It was incredibly quiet and relaxing - just the retreat we were hoping to find.The location is great for touring around the Lake region. We hated to leave when the week was up and we have already recommended the house to all of our friends! We hope to stay in touch with Sebastiano - he was simply amazing.

We spent a wonderful and relaxing holiday in this gorgeous accommodation. The huge and well-tended garden,the incredible view on the lake and the alpes, the large, bright and spacious but still cosy house, offering excellent facilities, the overall atmosphere of calmness and peace and, last not least, the very welcoming, friendly and charming landlord: we will definitely come back to this outstanding place!

"This is just a great property, more than perfect for relaxing and making holidays - amazing view over the lake, wonderful pool in a large garden, quiet, perfect rooms and open kitchen, sleeping rooms with new matrazes and very clean and large bath rooms - and the best at the end: very nice landlords - many thanks for your great hospitality!"

"excellent house, very spacious, superb swimmingpool, everything very clean"

Belle prestation avec une vue magnifique sur le lac un jardin très bien entretenu Nous avons passé un très bon séjour

La nostra vacanza è stata quasi perfetta. La posizione è ottima e i proprietari sono molto gentili e disponibili. Torneremo subito😊

Sehr schöne und großflächige Anlage. Sehr gut geeignet für Familien mit Kindern! Der Pool liegt sehr schön, ist sauber und groß!

It was our 2nd stay in the house and I can only say it was absolutely worth to return. The location of the house, the space in the house and the huge garden with the pool are incredible. The panorama view to the lake and mountains is marvelous. Sebastiano - as the host - is extremely kind and helpful. Thank you! Our family has enjoyed the stay and we will try to return a third time.

Die vielen positiven Bewertungen zu Haus und Garten treffen voll zu. Sehr gepflegter Pool. Gastgeber und Housekeeper sind wie beschrieben außerordentlich nett und hilfsbereit. Die Gegend ist ruhig. Dennoch gute Ausgangsbasis für verschiedene Unternehmungen. Alles perfekt!

Sebastiano’s house is just a wonderful place to stay and to use as basecamp to discover the region. The view from the house, the garden, the swimming pool and the house itself : everything was great. And the welcoming of Sebastiano and his support were perfect. Thank you for this wonderful 2 weeks ; this was the perfect break in this so special 2020 year. Grazie

Sebastiano is an extreme nice host and very welcoming. We enjoyed the week a lot with the fantastic view over the ‘Lago Maggiore’. The garden is unbelievably big an extremely well maintained. The pool is a bit further away from the house, but also this gives a nice feeling of privacy. We would definitely come back.

Das Haus, der Garten sowie der Pool ist so schön, dass man die Ferienanlage gar nicht verlassen muss.

Schon beim Eintreten in das schöne Ferienhaus haben wir uns willkommen und wie zuhause gefühlt. Das gesamte Haus war ein Genuss. Alles sauber und hervorragend ausgestattet. Der Garten einfach herrlich und natürlich der Pool. Alles sehr gepflegt. Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war sehr gut, wir konnten nach Bedarf telefonisch Kontakt aufnehmen. Der Hausmeister hat mit dem Rasen mähen sogar gewartet, bis wir das Haus verlassen haben. Und nicht zu vergessen der Ausblick auf den See, einfach fantastisch. Roswitha und Familie

thoroughly enjoyable, phantastic view, very comfortable and great service

Das Hause und der Garten sind sehr groß und schön. Nur der Pool ist zu weit vom Haus entfernt, wenn man kleine Kinder dabei hat für die man am Pool doch so einige Dinge benötigt.

Wir verbrachten mit 9 Personen den Urlaub in Ranco. Das Haus war aufgrund der Größe, Anzahl der Zimmer sowie der Grundstücksgröße optimal um einen Urlaub mit vielen Personen zu verbringen. Bezüglich der Sauberkeit sowie der Zusammenarbeit und Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter gab es absolut nichts zu bemängeln. Check in, Abreise und alles rund herum funktionierte reibungslos. Der hauseigene Pool ist wunderschön und auch für viele Personen von der Größe her absolut ausreichend. Wir können das Ferienhaus aus voller Überzeugung weiterempfehlen.

Ein sehr freundlicher Vermieter. Sehr gute Ausstattung. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge. Summa Sumarum sehr zu empfehlen. Gerne wieder
