About this property

Heavenly Loft on Lago Maggiore

The stylish Loft Metallo is located in a quiet area on the lago Maggiore, and offers many comforts, including radiant heating and modern air conditioning. The Loft used to be a refuge and place of inspiration for a metalwork artist. From the assigned free parking, a brief lighted corridor will take you to the front door, encased in a shatterproof privacy glass and wood wall. The first floor has an open plan design and two double panes full-wall windows that provide beautiful lighting and are equipped with automatic shades for privacy. The Loft's first floor features also a spacious living-dining room, a breakfast nook with pink granite table, a well equipped kitchen and a small bathroom with shower. A contemporary staircase in metal and wood brings you to the loft space and to the second floor, under beautiful classic arches and metal columns with granite capitels. The loft internal balcony has space for relaxation and reading, an entartainment center including a smart tv and blueray dvd player and a comfortable sofa bed. A brief corridor leads you to the second full bathroom, the ample master bedroom and the second bedroom. The bedrooms and bathrooms are fully appointed with freshly laundered linens and towels and situated in a quiet corner for better sleep. Exiting the apartment and taking outside elevator (or stairs, if you feel full of energy. We use them often) lead to the rooftop terrace, with a splendid view of Lago Maggiore. The rooftop terrace space, facing the lake in front, is equipped with a metal table, bench, chairs, loungers and umbrella, and is the ideal spot for an aperitivo and dinner or simply relaxing and stargazing. A large lake-view pool is located across the street from the loft and in summer is accessible for a small fee. Loft Metallo is a pleasant 25 minutes walk on the pedestrian via Selasca or a 5 minutes drive from downtown Intra and the lake ferries. which will take you to the famous Lago Maggiore Islands, to the other towns around the lake and all the way to Switzerland. Intra-Verbania is a lovely little town, very much alive all year long and full of cafes boutiques, restaurants and delicious gelaterie and bakeries. In summer and during the holidays there are artistic, musical, cultural and other entertaining events every day in the small cities around the lake. It is possible to walk or bike along the lake from Intra to Pallanza to Suna, it is a lovely way to exercise or just take a stroll. There are several beautiful villas to visit, Villa Giulia, Villa San Remigio and Villa Taranto, with gorgeous flowered landscapes. The nature is beautiful, and sport activities are available, from the nearby the Parco of Val Grande to the sailing and swimming in the lake. Day excursions include: a brief train ride to Milan (the design, cultural and business center of Italy) the monastery of Santa Caterina, the Mottarone mountain, the lovely lago d'Orte, the Alessi outlet and the National Park of Valgrande. Please see our Welcome Book for recommendations on activities, excursions and places to eat.

Rundum gelungener Urlaub
Die Unterkunft von Roy und Daniela ist außergewöhnlich, modern eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Es ist alles vorhanden was man für das tägliche Leben braucht. Die Kommunikation mit der Verwalterin Maria T. war problemlos. Sie reagierte sehr zeitnah auf alle Anfragen und gab sehr gute Tipps und Empfehlungen. Alles in allem waren alle Familienmitglieder vollauf zufrieden!

Tolles Appartement mit grandioser Lage
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit am Lago Maggiore. Im Loft hat es uns vier Personen (Eltern und 2 Töchter, 17 und 19 Jahre alt) an nichts gefehlt. Das Vorhandensein einer Klimaanlage war von großem Vorteil. Der Ausblick von der Dachterrasse ist grandios. Da lohnt das Packen des Picknickkorbs für die Mahlzeiten :-). Auch die Nähe zum See hat uns begeistert: Nur 10 min Fußweg und man ist an einem kleinen Steinstrand an dem man herrlich ins frische Wasser abtauchen kann. Die Kommunikation verlief reibungslos und sehr schnell. Maria T., die Verwalterin, war sehr aufmerksam und Check-in und -out über die Schlüsselbox waren perfekt. Können wir nur empfehlen! Vielen Dank für alles!

Nice 😍
Die Unterkunft ist Top! Liebevoll eingerichtet! Sehr gut ausgestattet, Klimageräte sind da und funktional! Gut gepflegter Zustand. Gute Lage und eine große Dachterasse. Eine tolle Betreuung durch Maria, Sie hilft bei möglichen Problemen. In der Wohnung befinden sich aktuelle Prospekte, Infomaterial, Karten mit Beschreibungen wo ihr was finden könnt…eine Einschränkung bzw. Bemerkung zum „Pool“, der als Pool ausgewiesen/erwähnt ist. Es handelt sich nicht um einen Pool, der auf dem Gelände und/oder dem Grundstück befindet, sondern um ein „Schwimmbad“. Für dieses muss ein Entgeld pro Tag u. pro Person von derzeit 7€ entrichtet werden. Das geht aus den FE-Wo Direkt Angaben so leider nicht direkt hervor. Der Strand ist in ca. 5-7 min erreichbar…ein Stück muss an der Uferstraße gelaufen werden…hier gibt es nur wenig Abstand zu fahrenden Fahrzeugen…is nicht wirklich gefährlich…mit Kleinen Kindern (2 bis 10 Jahre) muss jedoch schon gut aufgepasst werden….

Perfekt für den Familienurlaub
Die Ferienwohnung ist ein ungewöhnlich gestaltetes Loft über zwei Ebenen. Die untere Etage ist fast komplett offen gestaltet und beinhaltet den Wohn-/ Essbereich sowie die Küche. Die Möbel sind modern, passend zum Ambiente und geschmackvoll ausgewählt. Die Ausstattung des Lofts beinhaltet alles, was man für einen Familienurlaub benötigt. Während des Aufenthaltes war es am Lago Maggiore überwiegend über 30°C warm. In dieser Zeit haben wir die Klimaanlage des Lofts sehr schätzen gelernt. Die Lage des Lofts ist ebenfalls nahezu perfekt. Fußläufig befindet sich der Lago Maggiore mit einem kleinen kostenfreien Strand, der überwiegend von Einheimischen genutzt wird. Am Strand befindet sich außerdem eine Bar, in der man mit Blick auf den Lago seinen Aperol genießen kann. Viele Attraktionen (u.a. Intra selber, Bootsanlegestelle zu den Borromäischen Inseln, Villa Taranto, aber auch das Val Grande uvm.) sind bequem mit dem Auto erreichbar. Wer etwas länger fährt kann auch innerhalb einer Stunde Mailand erreichen. Abgerundet wurde der Urlaub durch die hervorragende Betreuung von der Managerin Maria. Maria war jederzeit für Fragen per Telefon oder auch WhatsApp erreichbar. Sie hat durch ihre Betreuung unseren Urlaub rund gemacht. Vielen Dank dafür. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Mooi, aardige hostes maar….,
De foto’s van het appartement wekken de suggestie dat je vanuit het appartement op het balkon/terras komt. Dit is niet het geval. Je moet behoorlijk omlopen en dan met de lift naar de 2 etage. Daar aangekomen loop je nog een stukje om bij jouw plekje te komen. Dit viel ons erg tegen. Het uitzicht was fantastisch maar als je bijvoorbeeld een 2e pot thee of koffie wilde hebben bij het ontbijt moest je weer helemaal terug wat we dan maar niet deden.
