Great home and hosts for stays in Verbania
Carla and Renzo's house was perfect for our stay in Verbania. This place was exactly what we were looking for in that it was not in a very touristy area, had plenty of space for us all, had lots of amenities for kids and had wonderful helpful hosts that helped us enjoy our stay. The house was walkable to the old town part of Intra with strollers and provided a great perspective into how Italians lived their lives. Carla was very helpful to make sure we had everything we needed. This included even upgrading their wifi to make sure I had no problems working remotely. There was a slight language barrier, but Carla and Renzo's cheerful attitude and Google Translate made it not a problem. Our daughter loved playing in the yard including looking at the purple flowers, helping pick tomatoes with Carla and going down the slide. Our son loved riding all the kids vehicles and got a great start at figuring out how to pedal on the tractor. Verbania was a very beautiful area that had all kinds of fun activities to do. We enjoyed the ferry rides, the bucket chairlift, drives to nearby aerial trams in the Alps, going to nearby beaches in Feriolo, Cannero Riviera and Mergozzo. In particular I really enjoyed just walking through the old town of Intra and eating at the restaurants and of course the gelato. Thanks so much Carla and Renzo! Ciao!

Home from home
A lovely spacious family accommodation in a residential area. About twenty minutes walk from the water front, shops and restaurants/bars. Carla and Renzo couldn't have been more helpful and kind (whilst being unobtrusive).

The best choice ever
We have rented with VRBO many times but never had a better place or better hosts. This rental is spacious, very, very clean, is nicely furnished and has everything you could wish for. The balcony is the best place to have your morning coffee in the sun and give you a nice view of the neighborhood and a truly Italian feeling. The plants and flowers in Carla's garden and the neighboring houses makes it feel like living in a big beautiful yard. The beautiful town of Intra can easily be reached by foot as well as on bikes which Carla and Renzo generously provide for their renters. This place is perfect for a group of friends, families, basically everybody who wants to have an unique Italian experience. A supermarket is close by (easy walk, easy bike ride) and carries everything fresh and all you need. Carla and Renzo are the most helpful and generous hosts you could wish for and make you feel welcome and at home. The house is in a perfect location for trips to attractions like Monte Mottarone, Lago Mergozzo (great beach!), boat trips to the borromean islands and other cities on the lake. We stayed one week, which was way too short to do everything and see everything the region has to offer.

Eine wunderschöne Wohnung und eine tolle Gastgeberin
Wir haben eine Woche in der Wohnung von Carla und Renzo gewohnt und unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen, nicht zuletzt wegen den tollen Tipps für Restaurants und Unternehmungen, die die beiden zusammengestellt haben, ebenso wegen der zahlreich vorhanden Spielmöglichkeiten für unsere Kinder (inkl. Tomaten pflücken im Garten und Möhren ernten gemeinsam mit Carla). Wir können die Wohnung nur wärmstens empfehlen!

Maison spacieuse, très propre, bien équipée et bien située dans un quartier calme.
La maison est bien située à proximité de commerces et restaurants. Elle est dans un quartier calme et facile d’accès. Les chambres sont très spacieuses et les équipements sont récents et fonctionnels. Mais c’est l’accueil adorable des propriétaires que nous retiendrons, et qui fait que l’on se sent immédiatement comme à la maison, adultes comme enfants. Notre fils de 6 ans a maintenant l’impression d’avoir une mamie et un papy Italiens ... merci à Carla et Renzo ...

Séjour très agréable ! Carla et Renzo sont des hôtes extrêmement accueillants et sympathiques !
Les enfants et les grands ont adoré partager de bons moments avec Carla et Renzo et découvrir leurs passions. Tout est prévu, instructions et recommandations en italien, français (très bien parlé par Carla), anglais et allemand. L'appartement est spacieux et très bien équipé (en particulier la cuisine). Bien que situé en quartier résidentiel, on arrive très vite au centre. Seuls bémols, revers de la très belle météo : la chaleur très forte (petit plus : une climatisation ?) et les moustiques très présents, jour et nuit. Nous garderons un très beau souvenir de Verbania et de nos hôtes !

Schöne Wohnung - sehr guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge und außerordentlich nette Vermieter
Unser Urlaub in Verbania wird uns noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben. Carla und Renzo waren wie Oma und Opa für unsere Kinder. Mein Sohn liebte den Traktor und das Laufrad. Wir haben einige Ausflüge ins Hinterland und die Berge unternommen. Auch zum Orta See sind wir gefahren, der sehr schön ist. Einige Male sind wir auch in die Stadt gelaufen. Man kann auch vom Hafen aus einige schöne Ziele erreichen, zum Beispiel Stresa oder die Borromäischen Inseln. Außerdem gibt es einen sehr schönen Sandstrand in Feriolo, der auch für Kinder sehr gut geeignet ist (ca 15 Minuten mit dem Auto). Es gibt auch fußläufig erreichbar zwei Supermärkte. Samstags ist Markt in Verbania, wo man sehr leckeres Holzofenbrot kaufen kann und auch super Fisch. Die Wohnung ist super ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Für unser Baby hatten wir sogar eine Wickelauflage auf der Waschmaschine. Es gab auch sehr schöne Spielsachen für unseren Sohn. Carla hatte auch einen Rausfallschutz fürs Bett für uns. Das war super mit Baby. Carla war wirklich außerordentlich hilfsbereit und hat uns wirklich einen wunderschönen Urlaub beschert. Wir werden bestimmt wieder kommen.

Fantastisch
Een fraai appartement met alles erop en eraan. Er ontbreekt werkelijk niets. Je kan het zo gek nog niet bedenken of het is aanwezig. Een gastvrij onthaal door Carla en Renzo die het je helemaal naar je zin maken. Op loopafstand van het centrum en Lago Maggiore. Als wij nog eens die kant opgaan, boeken het zeker nog een keer.

Très agréable séjour au bord du lac majeur.
Nous avons été très agréablement accueillis par des propriétaires chaleureux et aux petites attentions bien appréciables. La maison est d'une propreté exemplaire et confortable, tout est bien pensé et rien ne manque. L'emplacement géographique permet de nombreuses belles visites à proximité. Nous avons loué une semaine fin avril ce qui nous a permis de découvrir les parcs fleuris de camélias, de rhododendrons, de magnolias, de tulipes et de cerisiers du Japon. Magnifique !

Sehr schöne, gut ausgestatte Ferienwohnung mit sehr herzlichen Vermietern
Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr groß und hat genügend Platz für 6 Erwachsene und 2 Babys. Bei Carla und Renzo fühlt man sich wie zu Hause. Für die kleinen Zwerge standen 2 Babybetten und 2 Hochstühle und ein paar Spiele bereit, es wurde geholfen, das Planschbecken zu befüllen, wir durften vom selbstgebackenen Pizzabrot und von der Schokoladentorte kosten, wir wurden mit selbstgemachten Tiramisu verwöhnt. Wir würden wieder dort Urlaub machen!
