"Pros: The view of Lake Maggiore from the apartment was amazing and very picturesque. The apartment was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. There was a small bottle of Limoncello left on the dining table when we arrived and some basic cooking items in the cupboards. Our host, Carol was welcoming, checked to see that we were happy with the apartment and assisted us to obtain a taxi very early in the morning. Carol also provided us with suggestions as to where to eat and what to see. Cons: The apartment was a good 20 minute walk from Ghiffa or Indra. Carol advised us not to hire a car as we were only staying two nights so apart from walking, we needed to rely on a bus, ferry or taxi. The timetable of the bus and ferry were spasmodic. We did not find out that there was a walking path until our last afternoon from a Tour Guide. Instead we risked our lives walking along the road facing the oncoming traffic. At times, there was barely 30 centimetres of bitumen to walk on! There was no air conditioning but two fans that you could use to circulate the air near where you slept. We tried leaving the doors/windows open but we could hear the noise of passing traffic and the buzzing of mosquitoes." ~Karyn
