Larger than the base studio, with 35 sqm split between a separate bedroom and a living room with a sofa bed. The balcony offers the same view over Lake Maggiore, but with more space for those staying longer.

The same size as the base studio, 25 sqm, but with the addition of an exclusive patio and private terrace: the feature that clearly sets it apart from the standard version.
While it has the same 35 sqm as the standard apartment with lake view, this Deluxe version adds a more refined living area and a tea and coffee service in the room, for a slightly more elevated stay.
At 40 sqm, this is the most spacious suite among the single-bedroom units, set apart by its dedicated private terrace and separate living room, in addition to the usual view over Lake Maggiore.

Milan Malpensa Airport is about 20 km away, while Milan Linate is 66 km away. Within 300 metres there are several restaurants, including Chiosco da Giovanna and Tranoi Food & Wine, handy for dinner without moving the car.

Nature lovers can dedicate a day to the Oasi della Bruschera, a protected wetland area 4.6 km away, or to the Parco dei Lagoni di Mercurago, 6 km away.
