Villa Sofia is the perfect place for exploring Lake Maggiore. Situated in the small and quiet town of Baveno, it is a several minutes drive from the lake and Stresa. The villa itself is very elegant and comfortable, with a nice garden and beautiful view over the lake and the surrounding mountains. Manuela, our host, was very nice and helpful. I definitely recommend Villa Sofia.

Villa Sofia is modern, fresh, clean and v well equipped. Fantastic view from the balcony. Manuela was attentive and super helpful. The memory foam bed is comfortable. Balcony seating for meals. There were coffee pods, tea, sugar, oil, vinegar, water, washing up stuff, shower stuff, even washing machine pods. The aircon worked well in both rooms.

“A nice comfortable flat slightly off-centre”
The apartment is clean, well furnished and comfortable. The hosts had left water in the fridge, snacks and what was needed to make tea & coffee, which is a nice touch. All the equipment worked fine. Neighbours have a donkey or sheep/goats, which is great for little kids.

It was our best apartment so far for our entire 6-week trip to Europe. The place was sparkling clean, totally comfortable in every way, great bedding, all facilities were there. Secure parking behind automatic gates, very walkable location, close to most local attractions. Recommended to all!

“Great apartment, definitely recommended!”
Lovely new apartment, more than enough space for a couple. Super clean and comfortable, bed very comfy, all you need in the kitchen is already there, nice bathroom, high standard. Self-check in possible with the keys in a locker. Manuela is giving clear directions and great recommendations :) We had a super relaxing break! Sunrise at the lake - good view from the balcony as a bonus and a nice garden space.

“Modern apartment above Baveno”
Modern and well-equipped apartment. Nespresso machine with enough capsules. Washing machine (half-size but enough). We did not meet the host in person, but communication by messaging was easy. Balcony has view of Lago Maggiore. There's a round pool, which should be nice in the summer (it was closed in autumn). The walking distance to Baveno is 20' (5' by car), so this place is best if you arrive by car.

“comfortable and very good for families with kids”
