About this property

Mansion - Caravate

Country house separated from the village by a narrow (but passable with a van or SUV), short and steep road. Very quiet and peaceful. Charming country house near Lake Maggiore and Laveno (5 km) and about twenty kilometres from Varese.
The house is on two levels, was renovated in 2012: On the ground floor there is the kitchen and bathroom, upstairs the bed and a living room.
The top of the hill, where the church of San Clemente is located - attested since the 13th century and from where you have a magnificent view of the Gulf of Laveno and Lake Maggiore - can be reached from Sangiano; from behind the house you can reach the Balconata Picuz.
There are cycle paths between Laveno and Comabbio and around Lake Varese (26 km). In spring and summer a boat connects Laveno to Santa Caterina del Sasso. Villa Della Porta Bozzolo and the 'painted village' Arcumeggia can be reached in less than ten minutes. But you can simply relax in the garden, have lunch or dinner in the cradle of tranquillity.

Superb host! Our stay in Caravate was truly unforgettable. The property is a beautifully remodeled barn, where every detail has been carefully thought out to create an atmosphere that is both warm and functional. Inside, everything was impeccably furnished, combining modern comfort with rustic charm in the most tasteful way.The grounds surrounding the barn are wide, tranquil, and dotted with fruit trees, making it a peaceful place to relax and unwind. While the house itself doesn’t open directly to expansive views, a short and pleasant trail walk from the property rewards you with stunning vistas over the surrounding hills and countryside. This balance between quiet seclusion and easy access to breathtaking scenery made our stay feel very special.We loved the calmness of being up on the hilltop, enjoying the plain grounds shaded by fruit trees, and then being able to take a quick stroll to soak in the beauty of the panorama. It’s the kind of place that offers the best of both worlds — comfort and serenity at home, with nature’s beauty just steps away.An ideal choice for anyone looking for peace, relaxation, and a beautifully crafted stay in Caravate.

Serene getaway

We had such a lovely stay in the serene hillside house. Stefania was a lovely host (she lives in the house next door) who was very communicative. The large gardens and outdoor shower were magical. The drive up the lane is steep and narrow but you get used to it. Perfect place if you’re looking to get away from the hustle bustle and relax

Great Hideaway

On first arriving our impression was Wow, the garden to this property is simply amazing and so private. The cottage is very well equipped and has all you could possibly need. It is an attractive unorthodox space and I would just mention to be aware that the stairs up to the bedroom are steep. We adapted to these very quickly though but worth a mention for anyone who struggles with stairs. The surrounding area is very attractive and lots of places to eat and shop. We would go back for sure.

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit bei Stefania. Der Garten ist ein Traum, es ist super ruhig und im Apartment ist es gemütlich und schön eingerichtet. Die Küche ist perfekt ausgestattet. Stefania ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Weg zur Unterkunft ist ein kleines Abenteuer, aber für sichere Fahrer bestimmt kein Problem.

Fantastisch huisje in de bergen

Het was een geweldig huisje in de bergen. De klim naar boven met auto was te zwaar en hebben dit steeds met de voer gedaan, auto konden we parkeren bij de kerk dit was voor geen enkel probleem. Eenmaal boven aangekomen geniet men van de rust en natuur om zich heen.

Escapade de 5 jours

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans le gîte de Stefania dans un calme absolu. C'est idéal pour se reposer au milieu d'un immense et magnifique jardin. Les 300 derniers mètres demandent une voiture pas trop large et beaucoup de concentration ! Stefania est une personne serviable et très discrète qui nous a réservés un accueil plus que sympathique. Nous recommandons ce gîte bien équipé, vintage et très cosy.

Eine kleine Oase, abseits des Trubels

Die Unterkunft ist behaglich und die Küche ist toll ausgestattet, es ist alles vorhanden was man sich wünscht. Die Lage ist fantastisch und der Garten eine kleine Oase. Allerdings muss man sich dieses Stück vom Glück auch etwas erkämpfen. Das letzte Stück des Weges braucht starke Nerven und Mut. Aber dafür wird man dann mehr als belohnt. Zum Ende unseres Aufenthaltes hat uns der Weg nicht mehr viel ausgemacht, Übung macht den Meister! Stefania ist eine sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Vermieterin, die einem stets mit einem Lächeln im Gesicht begrüßt. Auch für Tipps und Fragen hat sie stets ein offenes Ohr und wir haben uns sehr wohl bei ihr gefühlt. Die selbstgemachte Farinata war ein Traum ;) Vielen Dank für die tolle Zeit, wir werden wieder kommen!

Heerlijk rustig met veel privacy.

Lekker rustig in een mooie omgeving. Grote tuin waar je gebruik van kan maken. Genoeg tuinmeubels in zon en schaduw, altijd wel een mooi plekje te vinden. Stefania is erg aardig en behulpzaam. Goede communicatie in het Engels (en de Cake was heerlijk). Erg stijle smalle weg naar boven, een uitdaging, maar ook dit went. Huisje leuk en authentiek ingericht. Moderne keuken voorzien van alle gemakken.

Ferienwohnung/-haus in ruhiger Lage

Wir wurden von den Vermietern sehr herzlich begrüßt und umsorgt. Die Verständigung funktionierte in englisch problemlos. Die Ferienwohnung erreicht man über eine ca. 100m lange enge Straße. Nachdem wir mit unserem VW Passat einmal rauf und wieder runter gefahren sind, hatten wir uns an die Zufahrt gewöhnt. Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr außergewöhnlich mit vielen schönen alten Schmuckstücken eingerichtet. Die Küche aber recht neu und sehr gut ausgestattet. Das Badezimmer hat eine kleinen Duschwanne und es ist alles gepflegt. Über eine schmale steile Treppe gelangt man ins Schlafzimmer mit Fernseher und Sesseln. Draußen gibt es viele Möglichkeiten

sehr schön gelegene Ferienwohnung

Wunderschön ruhig gelegene Fereinwohnung mit ausnehmend angenehmen Gastgebern. Die Lage ist auch sehr gut in Bezug auf Ausflüge zum Lago Maggiore und zum Lago di Varese. Nach Laveno sind es nur rund 10 km, und von dort kann man auch bequem auf die andere Seite des Lago Maggiore übersetzen. Die Unterkunft ist perfekt, für Leute, die es abends und morgens ruhig mögen, aber nicht so abgelegen, dass man ewig zu den Seen und seenahen Städten braucht. Die Auffahrt zur Ferienwohnung ist allerdings nichts für breite SUVs.

Grilli, mobili della nonna laccati lucidi e sorprese

Un ampio prato si estende oltre il cancello inaspettatamente dopo un'irta salita. La porzione di un casale ristrutturato nell'essenziale, adornato all'interno da oggetti demodé ma intriganti nella loro eterogeneità gozzaniana. Profumo di storia, in parte vissuta ma di gran lunga narrata da libri racchiusi in scansie malcelate alla curiosità dell'ospite. Unico consiglio: una completa recinzione garantirebbe maggiore tranquillità a chi soggiorna con il cane.

We had a wonderful holiday in Steffanias beautiful house. She is a very kind and helpful host, and gave us many informations about the region. The house is placed in a wonderful garden, it is very quiet and CALM. We loved to sit in the garden and its easy to find a place in the shadow. The nearest town is Laveno and it is ten minutes drive away. It is a nice town. We loved Reno's Beach, there is not crowded expect from sundays. We can recommened the beautiful walk to sacro monte de Varese, we had never seen anything like it👌👌we can reallly recommened everything, we would love to Come back.
