Large outdoor terrace - Ground floor flat in a lovely Italian village

Dumenza is a beautiful mountain village with friendly people.

As summer arrives in Dumenza you can enjoy its beautiful mountains & lakes.

Our guests have described it as a very nice holiday apartment with a large terrace in a quiet location in a friendly little village above Luino with many excursion possibilities on both sides of the border, highly recommended! This is a well furnished apartment in a great location in Dumenza.

Other guests have confirmed that it is very well located in a small typical village, close to shops. They also mention the very pleasant supermarket, restaurant and bar. They mention the easy parking.

They confirm that Dumenza is only 10 minutes from Luino with its station, market and boats. It's all close to Lake Maggiore, Switzerland and Lake Lugano.

Check availability for last minute holiday in the lakes and mountains of Italy. It is a great time to book an unforgettable self-catering stay near Lake Maggiore in Italy with stunning mountain views and terrace.

Soggiorno piacevolissimo

Abbiamo passato un soggiorno molto piacevole in questo appartamento. Bilocale ampio ed accogliente in grado di soddisfare le necessità di base. La terrazza esterna aggiunge un gran valore all'appartamento permettendo di mangiare/giocare/leggere all'aperto. Per i bambini a pochissimi passi c'è una bellissima area giochi dove i miei figli amavano passare del tempo. Loro non vedono l'ora di tornare! Non ho avuto il piacere di conoscere personalmente i proprietari, solo via email. Avevo commesso un errore nella prenotazione e mi hanno guidata con pazienza e disponibilità. Ho incontrato Adriana che si occupa di check in e check out: persona gentile e deliziosa. Grazie di tutto, è stata una vacanza indimenticabile!

Very clean, quiet location, well placed

Adriana was very helpful (housekeeper) when we arrived. The apartment was very clean and although small, very well equipped. The location is quiet and if the weather is nice and sunny (though not while we were there), there is a good sized veranda to sip wine. The Veranda gets sun only in the late afternoon. 2 mins walk to a supermarket which was also quite well stocked with essentials so fantastic for that just arrived shop. The route down the mountain to Luino was like doing the Monte Carlo Ralley one way but our sat nav also took us on a more sedate route with less bends and turns. There is a Carrefour in Luino for the major shop (only 10 mins away from the apartment). We tried to visit the Chocolate factory in Caslano (CH) but were told only open May to September. We then visited the small 'zoo' nearby which was quite a disappointment. High admission fee for an extremely small zoo with only monkeys, ducks, turtles, birds, guinnea pigs and one lion and his lioness. It took us all of 30 mins to do the rounds, feed the animals and then leave. Unfortunately, the majority of our stay was wet and dull but I would imagine on a nice sunny day, walking along the front of Lago Maggiore would be lovely. 9 out of 10 for the accommodation though (apart from the upstairs neighbour who liked to leave at 7am and slam the heavy front door as hard as possible it would seem, making getting a holiday lie in impossible!!).

Beautiful Location on the border of Italy and Switzerland

The property is small, clean and compact but large enough to squeeze in 2 adults and 2 teenage girls. The balcony is large and west facing, so benefits from shade in the morning and the warm afternoon sunshine. Many beautiful lakeside towns are within easy travelling distance and Milan park and ride allows a full day out in the city without the hassle of city driving or parking. We visited Lugano, Locarno Maccagno, Luino, Milan and Laveno. We enjoyed the scenery everywhere but nothing surpassed the spectacular views from the cable-car descent in Laveno -an adrenaline experience not to be missed! Thank you for a fantastic and very memorable holiday. Mears family from Wales - August 2017

Bella mountain retreat

We stayed for a week from 6-13 September 16. First impression was how clean and fresh smelling the apartment was, many thanks to Adriana. During our stay we visited some of the recommended places, including Bellinzona and Maccagno. We ate at the restaurant in the village, which was good, but also walked towards Agna to find the restaurant Smeraldo. It is about 1km away and can be accessed on foot, with care. Lunch was delicious. A few basic Italian words are helpful as this is in the heart of rural Italy, which suited us perfectly. We hope to return again for another trip.

Ideal location for exploring Maggiore and the Italian/Swiss pre-Alps

Small but perfectly pleasant apartment ("Bijou"?) in good location in the hills close to the Swiss border. Ideal for exploring the less touristy parts of Lake Maggiore, the pre-Alps (such as Monte Lema and Monte Tamaro), or the Swiss canton of Ticino. Lugano is about a half-an-hour drive. Luino, five minutes away, has all the amenities you could want, including a 24-hour Carrefour and large Coop. There is a small supermarket a short walk from the flat for anything you forgot. The apartment is small, but big enough for us (mum, dad, and teenage son). Very nice to have alfresco evening meal on the terrace. The bathroom is clean and neat, and the kitchen has the basics. There's TV but no internet, but then you probably came on holiday to get away from all that :-)

A great little apartment in a beautiful area

I spent a very nice week in the apartment, which was just as it was described--very clean and nicely accessible on the ground floor. It's only a 10-minute drive from Luino but a world away in terms of the quiet and solitude. Parking was not always available at the door, but it was never a problem to find something within 100 yards. As I've become fairly dependent on the Internet, the lack of this in the apartment was manageable, given that Luino provides wifi access in all of its park areas, so one can just park nearby and catch up. The only real problem I encountered was the weather--half of the week was sunny and warm, and the other half was cold and wet, and this makes all the difference in whether you can take advantage of the beauty of the area. As I was traveling alone, the apartment was plenty spacious, and I'm sure it would be fine for two, but any more would be a tight squeeze. But, then, with warm weather, the very nice patio could be better used. I would not hesitate to stay here again, and I'd love to spend more time in the area.

Dieses Appartement ist optimal für diejenigen, die sich gerne ein wenig abseits von touristischer Geschäftigkeit entspannen möchten und keine Probleme damit haben, dass die Gastronomie vor Ort sehr übersichtlich ist, und dass Wäsche und Geschirr per Hand gewaschen bzw. gespült werden müssen. Ansonsten bietet das Appartement saubere Zimmer und eine geräumige Terrasse und ist Ausgangspunkt für viele unterschiedliche Ausflüge bzw. Aktivitäten. Wärmstens allen empfohlen, die die beschriebenen Bedingungen nicht als Einschränkung empfinden. Wir werden jedenfalls sehr gerne wiederkommen.
