Please Note - Accessibility: We want to be very honest about our property and help you make the right choice for your trip. We feel our property is not well suited for individuals with significant mobility issues, due to steps and the need to walk from the nearby car park at Bar Miravelle. Likewise the property itself is not accessible by car so if that is your preference it is worth noting. The walk to reach the house is through typically Italian, cobbled narrow pathways.

Location:
Located just a 1 hour and 20-minute drive from Milan Malpensa Airport, and a mere 15 minutes from Domodossola, a charming historic Roman town. Fast trains run regularly from Milan and Geneva make accessing Domodossola effortless.

Things To Do In The Local Area:
Start your day with a visit the lakes to enjoy a refreshing swim in crystal-clear water, or relax on the lakeside beaches, soaking in the breath-taking views. If you're looking for culture immerse yourself in history with visits to iconic sites such as Isola Bella in Lago Maggiore, the charming Orta San Giulio on Lago Orta, and the historic center of Domodossola. If you want to slow down the pace enjoy the beautiful scenery from the comfort of the panoramic tourist railway from Domodossola to Locarno on Lake Maggiore in Switzerland.
Foodies can immerse themselves in traditional Italian cuisine alongside local specialties of the Ossola region, including the local cheesemaking centre Crodo. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy exquisite artisanal gelato!

Active Pursuits:
Those looking for a more active pursuit can enjoy Skiing and Snowboarding at multiple nearby resorts, including San Domenico. With slopes reaching up to 2500m, enjoy reliable snow conditions throughout the season.

Rock climbing and bouldering are available on extensive bolted routes throughout the Ossola Valley. For the adventurous, canyoning is also available, offering an exhilarating experience amidst stunning natural landscapes. Alternatively explore the area on two-wheels by road cycling through the heartlands of Italian alpine cycling, where the prestigious Giro d'Italia frequently passes through.

You can explore the great outdoors with ease, hiking through picturesque mountains and surrounding valleys right from your doorstep. Discover well-maintained trails offering stunning views of Monta Rosa, the second highest peak in the Alps. For thrill-seekers, extensive mountain bike trails await.

About the host

Host profile image
We live in England but have always loved Italy. We bought our house in Cresti in October 2007.

Why they chose this property

The house in Cresti has given our whole family, whether grandparents, parents, or teenagers and their friends, some of our most fantastic and memorable holidays. We love the house, ringed by traditional wooden balconies, where every bedroom has stunning views of Alpine mountains, valley and sky. We love the cobbled alleys of the village, the old stone roofs, the clear Alpine water and the lively bar with its sunny tables overlooking the valley. There is an endless range of walks, from casual strolls to substantial hikes high into neighbouring mountains. The Monte Rosa Massif, the second highest set of peaks in the Alps towers over the neighbouring valley. There are boatrides acorss the lakes, trainrides through stunning scenery, and lively towns with open cafes, icecream and good food

What makes this property unique

In summer, we swim in the Alpine lakes: the clear cold water of Lago Antrona, ringed by forested mountains; the gentle waters of Lake Mergozzo; or sparkling rock pools in the valley. We eat in the garden with its wide open vistas at the old stone table under the arch. In winter, several ski resorts are in easy reach. If you don't ski, hiking through the snow covered mountains in snowshoes is exhilarating.It’s been great for the young people because of its easy accessibility by train and bus, cheap flights to Milan and the friendly people around. The house is on 3 floors with 5 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, making it easy for 9 people to live there without feeling crowded. We've kept the rustic style, but made it very comfortable, with central heating, washing machine, dishwasher etc.
