When we first entered the house and opened the shutters, we fell in love with the view straight away, but it didn't take us long to love the village too. It has everything for a lovely holiday, whether you are a couple, a group of friends, or a family.
We believe that on holiday you should be as comfortable as you would be at home, so we have put a lot of thought into the furnishings and equipment in the house. If you do like to cater for yourselves, you will find everything you need in the well-designed kitchen area. And if you are interested in sampling the local restaurants, there is plenty to attract you, with reputedly the best pizzas on the lake at Crème Caramel, down on the lakeside, and great food to at Da Luigi. There are three bars in the village, and good shops, including grocers, butchers and greengrocers. There is even a little market garden where you can buy fresh produce straight out of the ground.
As you walk around the village you start to see the variety of life here. It is a fascinating mix of village, tourism and rural. The ancient pilgrim path, the Antica Via Regina, passes through the village below the house, and strolling down it to the cashpoint, you pass fine villas, lovely gardens, and even a farmhouse with chickens, goats and cows in the yard.
Acquaseria is perfectly situated for exploring the famous tourist attractions around the central lake area, such as Menaggio, Varenna, Bellagio and the Villa Carlotta, which is only 7 minutes away. There is unlimited scope for hiking and water sports, but if you just want to relax, why not stretch out on the beach? Or just collapse on the lounger on the terrace.
For children, we provide a range of toys, movies and games, and plenty of books and DVDs for the grown-ups too.
