Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Porto Valtravaglia

Ciao Daniela, what a dream it was to stay at your place! I already can't wait to come back. The room was fabulously decorated, more spacious than the pictures. super clean and well-though out space. Felt super private but in the warmth of someone else's environment. The setting on your farm is unbelievable beautiful. The chickens, cats and dogs - all added to the experience. What a beautiful and serene place - like something out of a fairy tale. This is what AIR BNB used to be about, staying with a host (who is welcoming and proactive like yourself) and you have a real authentic experience of staying in someone's home. You even invited me to pick berries from your farm. Thank you so much for everything. This was not just a stay - this is an experience!

Louise was so sweet and her home is a little gem with the BEST bathtub EVER in the bedroom. Such a cool place and very roomie for a couple. Beautiful decor! Love the interior design touches mixing the old stone with more modern elements. The only negative was finding parking. Luckily we found a little spot all the way down the hill in front of the school….but this is Lake Como so we’re used to hiking up the hill!:) Just an FYI for anyone with mobility issues. We loved our stay and especially loved our meals out on the deck and also enjoyed Villa Lario built into the cliff just below. Fun experience:) We’d love to return sometime!

Had a great stay at Olga's place, views and garden are spectacular and the house as listed so perfect for either a short or long stay. Olga was great at communicating. Steps down to the property are steep but doable with care. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great whilst we were there but under cover outside seating area and table helped with this. Would recommend 👍

This home is incredible. The view is stunning. But it is a decent hike up to the house. If you come by ferry it would take 30 mins from terminal to get to the home with many steps. Very challenging with a heavy suitcase. If you come by car it will take approximately 10-15 mins. Lots of stairs. Pack light if you’re able to. The home itself is over 3 levels by a spiral staircase. Bring light luggage if possible. The deck is so nice to spend time on. Lovely, memorable home with a friendly helpful host. Will never forget this beautiful place

The most breathtaking view ! Perfect spot only 10 minute walk to the town of Dervio. Easy to get the Ferry and explore other spots along the lake. 10/10 recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at Fiorella's house, which was perfectly located in a peaceful environment. Fiorella was really responsive and welcoming. The house is well adapted to a small family. We will definitely come back to Fiorella's house

We enjoyed the stay! Gandria is a picturesque, small village and despite the quiet, tranquil location, there are several restaurants and cafes where you can stop. Louise's apartment has been designed with great care and has everything you need for a few relaxing days.

Fabio's apartment in Germignaga is excellent for a vacation in the region. It is located slightly above the shore and has a fantastic view of the lake and the opposite shore on the Piedmontese side. The apartment has a beautiful terrace with sufficient furniture and also a roof terrace with loungers which is well suited to unwind and enjoy the sun. The location on the eastern shore of Lake Maggiore is very well suited for tours in the area, as Switzerland (Ticino) and Lake Como are not far away. Fabio was an excellent host and always available when there were questions. I would recommend the place anytime.

Beautiful accommodation, equipped with all comforts, very close to the lake and restaurants, bars, supermarket, the best thing for us....being able to enjoy relaxation in the garden. I recommend it!

Spent an amazing couple of days at this place! Really pleased with Monica’s communication and helpfulness. Her recommendations for restaurants and cafes were great and the house was very clean. 100% recommended!

We spent five wonderful days on the 2nd floor of Villa Smith. The rooms are large, the beds are cozy, the kitchen is well equipped. Everything is spotless, plus soothing sounds from the small stream next door, the garden is a dream (swings, ping pong and boccia in the middle of an enchanted idyll). Having breakfast on the large terrace while looking out over Lake Maggiore or the mountains was simply wonderful. In addition, Claudio was available for questions within a very short time, gave us great tips for the stay and was a great host. We would love to move into the villa - since that is not possible, we will at least be happy to come back for a vacation.

We enjoyed Simona's place. The apartment had a breathtaking view of Lake Maggiore and the Borromean Islands. From Baveno, you can take many excursions.

The apartment is situated in the most picturesque location, directly above a little harbour and right on the water. The view over the lake is a dream! All that Maccagno has to offer is within walking distance. Our reception was friendly and helpful, and the apartment is absolutely lovely! We, a family of four, enjoyed a wonderful stay in the apartment, enjoyed breakfast on the balcony every morning, and sundowns in the evening. 👌🏻 We will be back!

We made a stop here in transit. Elena and her family are very nice, friendly hosts. The property is very tastefully decorated. An extraordinary highlight is the piano in the apartment. The surrounding park and the view of Lake Maggiore are phenomenally beautiful! We'd love to come back, hopefully with more time next time!

We had a wonderful time at Marcos and Marias place! The flat was clean, beautiful and very cosy. I would like to emphasise the view - breathtakingly beautiful. We can recommend the flat 100% and would love to come back again 😊

The place was beautiful, unique, on Lake Como with direct access to the lake. I think it’s the perfect place to relax, sunbath and enjoy the lake. Beautiful table to eat outside. It was also super clean ! We knew there would be stairs, it might have been a little bit more than we expected (80)! But the owner was really nice and offered to help us as I do not travel light ! Highly recommend renting a small car/Vespa as public transport are not reliable and the only Ubers available are the black uber which are more expensive. We had a série 4 bmw to give you an idea, I would say that if your car is much wider than that it will be a little tight to go down the driveway, but doable. The parking itself is huge. There is a portable A/C, we went in June and didn’t need it as the breeze from the lake was enough to keep us cool at night. Owner was also nice enough to let us do part of our wedding photoshoot at her beautiful Villa ! Unique experience, we really loved it !

We felt at home with Sonja from the first reception. We lacked nothing in the apartment. It is fully equipped for physically disabled guests, including sewing kits and small board games. We felt a family atmosphere throughout the premises, with toys and equipment for children. Sonja was always obliging and helpful to us. A stay that we already count among our most beautiful holiday accommodations and can recommend without reservation.

Best way to describe this location is STUNNING! The views are breath taking - more beautiful in person than the photos! We loved our stay - hard to beat having morning coffee & evening wine surrounded by such beauty! The night view when the lights appear is as beautiful as the day view! A car was necessary but well worth it. David was a very responsive and helpful host & we would definitely stay again if we have that opportunity!

Thank you for a wonderful stay on Lake Orta! Carla was extremely helpful and friendly and the property was perfect for my and my daughter's needs. We had everything we needed, plus the location right on the lake, within an easy walk to the town, but far enough away from the centre to enjoy the peace and quiet, was ideal. Having parking and not having to drive through the town's narrow streets to access the property made life a lot easier.

Peaceful, well equipped apartment, with plenty of parking, and spacious outdoor area. I had a very restful stay here. Thank you.

The communication even in advance was very friendly and the arrival was therefore easy and relaxed. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived. The apartment is great and we immediately felt very comfortable. Everything is well thought out and nothing is missing. I have rarely experienced this before. We would love to come back and I can recommend this place 100%.

Our stay at Chu Yi and Luca’s Airbnb was amazing. Chu Yi and Luca were both very responsive and helpful. They went out of their way to drive us to and from the train station from the airbnb! When we were dropped off at the train station, Chu Yi went out of her way to make sure we had our train tickets and got on the correct train. The space was very clean and the area surrounding the airbnb was quiet and peaceful. I’m sad we only spent one night here! I highly recommend it.

Loved staying at Mavi’s place. The apartment is beautiful and has a really nice feel to it. Loved having meals on the balcony. Less than 10 mins drive into town on fairly narrow roads. Mavi and her mum gave us some amazing recommendations for the kids and we had a wonderful stay. Would definitely recommend!

I am very happy that I stayed here. Deserves the great reviews.
