The property is suited to families or small groups looking for an independent, quiet and well-connected space, surrounded by the greenery of the hills overlooking the lake.
The accommodations, each about 100 m², feature two separate bedrooms, a living area with fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen with fridge, dishwasher and oven, and a private bathroom with bathtub, shower and bidet. Each unit has a balcony with lake view, while the house as a whole also offers a panoramic terrace and a garden equipped with a barbecue, ideal for outdoor dinners.

Casa Birtukan offers two twin housing units, both about 100 square meters and designed to accommodate up to four people. Each accommodation is organized into two separate bedrooms, with a living area featuring a fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen, including fridge, dishwasher, oven and kitchen utensils for those who wish to cook independently during their stay.
Both units share the same main amenities: private bathroom with bathtub and shower, flat-screen TV, washing machine and independent entrance. What sets them apart mainly concerns the internal layout of the beds and a few view details: in both cases, guests enjoy views of the lake, the garden and surrounding points of interest, with a balcony or patio from which to admire the hillside landscape. The shared terrace and barbecue complete an offering designed for those seeking home comforts in a relaxed setting near Lake Maggiore.
This unit occupies an entire independent floor with a separate entrance and features a private patio in addition to a balcony with lake and garden views. The living area with fireplace makes it particularly suited to longer stays or families looking for a cozy space to relax in the evening.
Unlike the first unit, this accommodation does not have a patio but offers the same lake and garden views directly from the balcony. The bed layout favours greater flexibility for groups with different needs, while maintaining the same comfort of kitchen, fireplace and bathroom with bathtub.
