House holiday rentals in Porto Valtravaglia

We had a very delightful and relaxing stay at Hannes’s beautiful home overlooking gorgeous Lago Maggiore. Swimming in their pool was a definite highlight and was a refreshing treat during the hot days. The home is very well-appointed and comfortable. The gracious outdoor seating and mature plantings were lovely. Hannes and his family left very clear and friendly instructions about our stay and info about the surrounding area. Everything was thought out very well. Everyone we encountered in the surrounding towns was warm and welcoming. The nature is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us. We had an uplifting and joyous visit! It’s a special place and clearly a lovely family!

Would recommend

A lovely hideaway on a hillside near Lake Maggiore. Felix’s house has a larger plot for the Village, and there’s an extra garden swing and lower lounging area in the garden to enjoy throughout the day. The views are lovely and we felt very secluded. Peaceful retreat with great access to the shared pools, crazy golf and a restaurant meant we had things to do without having to drive down the hill everyday. Recommended

Beautiful surroundings and well-worth the walk into town (there’s a very easy/safe path from this property into town - just expect to get some good exercise walking back up).

Wonderful place, with a pool and a view of the lake, a great destination.

Great location. Host was super friendly and very responsive!

We felt comfortable in Umberto's quiet and well-kept apartment. The co-host Silvia is very helpful and available at any time. A special thank you to them. The surroundings offer a lot of beautiful, very practical for different activities. The terrace with the beautiful view of the lake is perfect if you don't want to do anything.

We enjoyed it very much. Have already stayed in several vacation homes and Monika's house is actually also the best in comparison. The location is quiet and you are very private, but the whole thing is topped with the fantastic panoramic view of the lagoon. The house with pool and garden invites you to stay permanently and offers children many play opportunities.

The host was super helpful and nice. The stay was pleasant I would only recommend that you take a car as it can be difficult to get around on foot.

We really enjoyed our vacation in Ghiffa. The accommodation in the small charming town and the balcony with the beautiful lake view let us experience the Italian "dolce vita". ☀️ The accommodation was overall super clean, very well equipped and cozy. Wilko supported us superbly from check-in to check-out and provided us with lots of helpful information and tips. We felt totally comfortable and can only recommend the accommodation! 😊

We booked Ugo's home for one reason.... the view. It did not disappoint. We drank our morning coffees and ate our meals on the balcony. We actually went to a restaurant with an amazing view, but after we left, we stated we should have just cooked and ate outside the house since it is so private. Ugo provided coffee, which was highly appreciated! We bought the wrong coffee at store. The fruit platter was amazing and ate at every meal. Oh, I made orange juice and was delicious! We were given directions to free parking in bellagio. Plus, we got a flat tire and Ugo helped direct is where to repair it. Overall, go for the view amd don't leave the house! Unless you want to walk to town to get coffee, fresh meats, and gelato but go directly back!

Absolutely stunning place! One of those rare cases when the place is even more beautiful in real life than in the photos. Every detail is charming, and we especially loved the honey made by Gloria’s family. The authenticity of the house and its surroundings is perfectly balanced with comfort — you feel both inspired and at home. Palanzo isn’t the easiest place to reach without a car, but Gloria helped us arrange a transfer and was incredibly helpful throughout our stay.

Peter was an extremely personable and warm-hearted host. Pleasantly reserved. In addition, very open-minded and attentive to our sometimes somewhat cheeky children :) We were directly familiar with each other and it felt like we had known each other for some time. The rustic furnished apartment has been very nicely, authentic and tastefully restored. It was also very well equipped. Peter gave us good tips to explore the scenic surroundings. Highlights were certainly the easy to reach cable car to Lake Maggiore via a one-hour walk, as well as the walk to the nearby Rose Garden. Thanks Peter for the lovely time, we are already looking forward to our next stay in Vararo!

My wife and I spent a week in Angela and Max's apartment. The apartment was a great base for the many proposals that the area offers. Being able to return to a well-maintained, cozy place, in an extremely quiet setting and with a view of the fairytale lake, makes you really want to go back. The apartment is clean, well furnished, equipped with everything you need and perfectly matches what was reported in the listing. Angela, a very helpful person, welcomed us warmly and provided us with a lot of useful information about the area, giving us the opportunity to schedule our exits in a satisfactory way. I recommend it to everyone.

Upon arrival, you will have your own parking space and a charging station 150 meters away. The cottage is in a beautiful location with a beautiful garden from which you can enter the water via a staircase. Full kitchen equipment, large bedroom and excellent bathroom. Living room somewhat small but fine. Restaurants not walkable. Ilario is friendly and always willing to help you.

We enjoyed the view of Lake Maggiore from every room. There were also pleasant places to relax in the garden. Hiking trails start right by the house. Branched lanes lead to the lake, the shop (please pre-order fresh bread) and restaurant, often away from car traffic. We recovered well and would be happy to come back.

A magically beautiful place in the Centovalli. The Rustico is furnished with great attention to detail and welcomes you with the charm of an old Ticino farmhouse from 1791. Communication with Stefano worked very well. Thank you for this wonderful week.

We found the place right away. We received a video description of the route from Christian and Laura. Check-in was smooth with a key box. The apartment is super clean, cozy and wonderfully quiet and picturesque. The place is perfect if you want to be completely alone. We loved everything and will definitely try to stay with Christian and Laura again next year. Everything was perfect for us!

We had a great vacation in Marco's apartment. Patrizia and her dog Lilli are on site and super nice. No matter what, she always helps and gives tips for the area. We felt very comfortable and will definitely be back.

Leonardo's house is very clean and has a wonderful location on the mountain! There is a very good restaurant nearby! The streets are narrow, but good to drive!

We had the best time at the lake house! Everything was great and we loved swimming in the lake right after waking up or just whenever we felt like it! Maria is super nice and quickly responded to our messages.

For us, Casa Berta was the perfect accommodation! We spent one day each in Bellagio and Como - and were very happy to leave the crowds (late May!) behind us and live in such a quiet, charming mountain village. We imagined the road up to be worse from the reviews - thank God there is not much traffic up here. Nevertheless, we preferred the bus, which actually always ran reliably (except on Sundays, when it generally does not run). The Casa itself is really adorable. Everything as in the photos. Very comfortable bed and head cushion. Also the shower with good water pressure (normally I don't like shower curtains, but the shower is large enough that the curtain, which is not made of plastic, does not stick to the body). The terrace is also great, we spent a lot of time here. It would be perfect if there was also reception on the terrace, for example, to stream music or plan the next day.

Naomi's cottage in the forest is a dream! Equipped with everything you need, even to cook yourself, and beautifully located. Naomi was super sweet and even provided us with a small welcome gift! All in all, a wonderful place to Relax, explore Lugano and its surroundings or the surrounding mountains! I'm sure we'll be back!

This very nice Chalet (which might have been an old Rustico) is in a really prime location, with magnifincient views over the lake and the mountains. The location is very quiet, also as it is at the end of a tiny private road. The house is well-equiped, and well prepared for us. We are a family with 2 small kids (5 and 11), who enjoyed the views, the garden and the wild life (especially the lizards) all around the house. Highly recommended. We will be back.
