Montesole (PVA300) Porto Valtravaglia, Lombardy

The apartment is accessed via 34 steep steps, which can be quite difficult, especially with luggage. Tastefully furnished, but some things need repairs. The kitchen is very small, but is equipped with everything you need. The beds were quite uncomfortable for us and the rented bed linen consisted of just 2 pillowcases and 2 sheets. WiFi was very good. The large terrace with a fantastic view makes the stay unforgettable.

The apartment was exactly as described in great detail on the Interchalet website. The spectacular view of the Lake from Brissago and the Swiss Alps down to Verbania in the South was always bathed in sunshine during the day. The trains and the trucks nearby didn´t disturb us. We often took the bus from the main road or walked up the hill to a quiet road to the train station to get to the ferry to towns on the other side of the lake.

Unfortunately, the apartment is in a renovation backlog. The bathroom was in poor condition. Furniture is partly old and broken. But new furniture was bought. There is German television. Everything is available in the kitchen. But many plates are chipped. The beautiful view and the evening sun on the terrace let us overlook these shortcomings.
