Unikt feriehus med god beliggenhed, men med nogle få mangler
Helt unikt hus med meget smuk udsigt direkte til Luganosøen og beliggenhed tæt på dejlig mindre by. Den store åbne stue og det udendørs køkkenareal er smukke og velfungerende opholdssteder. Soveværelset på første sal er mindre praktisk, meget småt, kun en enkeltstående bøjlestang tøj og minimalt lys.
Vi boede i huset en meget varm periode. Desværre fungerede aircondition ikke, og det varede et par dage før en mand kom ud for at sætte det i gang. Det kunne dog alligevel kun køre på meget lav ydeevne, og da det er installeret i stueetagen kunne det ikke køle temperaturen ned i soveværelset i overetagen, så det blev nogle meget varme nætter.
Der er ikke pool og vaskemaskine. Af udlejningsannoncen fremgik det, at der i et nærliggende kompleks var adgang til pool og laundry service. I første samtale med det lokale udlejningskontor efter ankomst blev vi informeret om, at disse faciliteter ikke havde fandtes i længere tid, og det blev også påstået, at det ikke længere fremgik af annoncen. Det er ikke korrekt, da det stadig tydeligt fremgik af annoncen, og adgang til disse faciliteter var faktisk medvirkende til vores valg af dette hus.
Der er trafikstøj fra vejen igennem den meget nærliggende by, men det vænner man sig til., og trods alt er en by med indkøbsfaciliteter tæt på også en fordel, især når der er tale om en så charmerende by.
Sammenfattende har vi haft en dejlig ferie, og har nydt den fantastiske beliggenhed og det charmerende hus. Men huset ligger ikke ligefrem i den billige ende, og vi kunne forvente, at der idet mindste var fungerende indendørs nedkølingsmuligheder, og at de annoncerede eksterne services rent faktisk fandtes.
