This serviced studio is ideal for a romantic break or solo trip. Next to Bogogno Golf Club and just thirty minutes from Lake Maggiore or Malpensa Airport, it’s part of a renovated Italian farmhouse with plenty of character. Think rustic stone walls and terracotta floors. The space is cleverly designed, with a screened-off kitchen and big windows that open onto your own section of terrace beneath the wisteria. You can also make use of the shared gardens. Restaurants are a short walk away, and optional extras like breakfast or even a butler service can be arranged. It’s compact and there’s no sofa, but with so much to explore nearby, we doubt you'll want to lounge about anyway.

Studio Wisteria

This charming country home is part of a traditional Italian farmhouse, situated next to the Bogogno Golf Club and less than a 30-minute drive from Malpensa Airport. The property features 11 independent serviced apartments, which have undergone a sustainable restoration project completed in 2022. The apartment for rent is located on the ground floor, measuring approximately 60 sqm and includes a spacious living room with a double sofa bed, a bedroom with a king-size bed, and a fully equipped kitchen with modern amenities. Guests can enjoy the beautiful garden view from the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and relax at the table and chairs under the wisteria-draped pergola. The property also includes an air conditioning system, free Wi-Fi, Smart TV, Bluetooth speakers, and other basic electrical appliances. The eco-resort offers luxury hotel-level service with reception office, laundry room, and plenty of communal outdoor spaces for socializing with other guests and local staff. Ideal for singles, couples, or families with children up to four people can comfortably stay in this apartment.

Levien

This ground-floor hideaway is part of a beautifully restored Italian farmhouse. Designed with natural materials, it’s a cosy yet stylish base for couples or solo travellers. Our favourite spot? The private garden terrace, shaded by a wisteria-draped pergolas – perfect for tucking into breakfasts in the fresh air or enjoying an evening aperitivo as the sun sets. And with Bogogno Golf Club next door, Lago Maggiore a short drive away, and Malpensa Airport under 30 minutes, it’s a practical base to be at too.

House Of Olive

Desk

This little studio is in a great spot in Cressa. It's next to Bogogno Golf Club and only about half an hour from Lake Maggiore or the airport. You can walk to a few restaurants and bars, or head into Novara for a bit more buzz. Inside, the bedroom’s up on a mezzanine and there's a sofa bed downstairs, so it’s not the most private setup. It works well for a family or close friends, though. It's part of a renovated farmhouse, so you get loads of character, plus your own patio section and leafy gardens to share. You can even add breakfast, or go all out with a butler service.

Cressa Hideaway

Step into Italian countryside charm with a modern twist at this beautifully restored apartment. Spread over two floors, it blends exposed terracotta and stone with high ceilings, oversized windows, and all the home comforts you’d expect (like wi-fi and a fully equipped kitchen). Wake up to garden views, chat over food in the open-plan dining space, and unwind in light-filled living spaces. Part of a sustainable eco-resort next to Bogogno Golf Club and just 30 minutes from Malpensa and Lake Maggiore, it’s a serene base for couples, families and friends at the foot of the Alps.

Painted Hills

Sound System

If you’re after a Novara base that mixes charm with convenience, this little apartment could be perfect. It's right next to Bogogno Golf Club and less than half an hour from Lake Maggiore or Malpensa Airport. It’s part of a restored Italian farmhouse, so you get rustic touches like stone, terracotta and big windows that let in plenty of light. Upstairs there’s a bedroom and bathroom, while the sofabed downstairs works for groups of four if you’re staying for just a couple of nights. You can stroll to local restaurants, and if you want to keep things simple, you can even add breakfast or go all in with butler service.

The Novara Place

This apartment is more than just a countryside retreat – it’s a thoughtful balance of farmhouse history and modern, restored living. Finished with sustainable design at its core, the traditional terracotta, stone and wood details sit alongside sleek finishes and soaring ceilings. Full-height windows flood the space with light, while the mezzanine bedroom adds interest. Luscious gardens invite alfresco dining under the sun. With Lago Maggiore, Bogogno Golf Club and Malpensa Airport close at hand, it’s a tranquil base to begin your Italian escape.

City Garden View

If you’re looking for a getaway near Lago Maggiore, this studio apartment next to Bogogno Golf Club might be the one. It’s part of a renovated farmhouse, so it’s full of character with stone walls and terracotta floors. At full capacity, two guests will share the sofa bed. However, the bedroom is screened off, which creates a sense of separation. The space opens onto your own section of terrace under a wisteria pergola, and there are shared gardens too. Restaurants are just a short walk away, and you can even add breakfast or a full butler service if you want to make things easy.

Serenity Serenade

This apartment in Cressa sits right next to Bogogno Golf Club and is under half an hour from Malpensa Airport or Lake Maggiore. Novara’s historic city centre is also just a short drive away. Part of a renovated traditional farmhouse, it's set within shared gardens, and you have your own covered section of patio. With a mezzanine bedroom and a sofa bed in the living area, the open design means it’s not perfect if you need complete privacy – and there's no door to the main bedroom. However, it’s ideal for families or close friends, while add-ons like breakfast or even a full butler service can make your stay even more relaxed.

Cressa Charms

Big farmhouse-style windows let in plenty of light and open onto your own terrace area with seating. The shared gardens add extra space to relax. You can also opt for breakfast or even a full butler service for the ultimate low-hassle getaway.

Just when we thought we'd unearthed the most charming home in tranquil Lake Orta, this little gem pops up to say ciao. Tucked away in the romantic hillsides fringing the lakeside, history is everywhere to see inside this home. Exposed beams, cool terracotta floors, shuttered windows, and a wooden balcony encasing it all bring the character. While elsewhere, this place speaks to a more contemporary audience with an effortlessly cool lounge (the canvas butterfly chairs are inspired) and a fully kitted-out kitchen with a coffee machine for obligatory morning expressos.

Upstairs, you'll find two light-filled and airy bedrooms with access to the balcony and a lakeside view you could savour forever. But on hot summer days, it's downstairs in that suntrap terrace where we think you'll be whiling away your days – if you have any downtime, that is. With the captivating medieval village of Orta San Giulio just a twenty-minute walk away, and a Nonna-style bistro and restaurant for an authentic taste of Northern Italian cuisine even closer (a ten-minute amble), we suspect you'll out and about a lot. And when it's time to up the ante with some fun on the water, the lake's lido, Spiaggia Miami, is just a six-minute drive away. Or charter a boat for the day – the home has its own private dock on the lake to set sail from, don't you know.

Revealing panoramic views over Lake Maggiore, this scenic spot invites guests to reconnect with nature from day dot. Surrounded by scenery that stretches from the lake and over the mountains – it's no surprise that the apartment's best feature is its balcony. Gazing out at the views with a coffee in hand each morning will soon become a daily ritual. If cooking or sampling the local culinary delights are on the agenda, the kitchen and dining area allow you to do so in plain sight of the beautiful vistas. Located just a five-minute drive from Stresa, with an array of shops and restaurants, you'll also be just a few minutes by car from the local golf clubs here.

Nice to haves

Views of Northern Italy's peaceful Lake Maggiore don't come much better than this. It's a scene best admired from the private balcony of this smart townhouse perched on the hillsides overlooking the Borromeo's islands. Inside, the newly refurbished, pared-back interiors are perfect for a fuss-free stay for two, and the pretty suntrap garden to soak up the Italian sunshine is a nice touch. You'll need a car here as it's pretty remote with no amenities to walk to – but don't let that put you off. Stresa's regal seafront promenade and cobbled streets bustling with trattorias are just a five-minute drive away.

Every bedroom and its en-suite are of an equally high standard so all guests are guaranteed a memorable stay. Other highlights include the heated indoor pool and spa, the library and music room, and you can't possibly miss the wonderful views across the lake from the top floor. Like the rest of the home, its courtyard garden is super private – perfect for romantic candlelit dinners, and you'll also find daybeds for catching some rays. While staying in the palace, a trip to the Sacro Monte di Orta is a must – this remarkable site is perched high on a hill and is on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

While there is the potential for some noise from other residents of the building, you'll have space to sit outside with an alfresco meal or drink and look out toward the glittering Lake Lugano. We think you'll want a car here for getting the most out of your stay, whether it's exploring the shops and fantastic restaurants or parking up and taking a scenic walk by the water.

Sometimes you want your holidays to be all about peace, quiet, and relaxation. This is the perfect home for that, far away from touristy hotspots, in a quiet rural location in Piedmont. You can live as the locals do here, and embrace the slower pace of life.

Cook up a feast in the kitchen and dine together, then take a bottle of red out to the terrace. Sip wine as you watch the sun set over the meadows and vineyards that surround the home. If it turns chilly, move inside to sit by the fireplace – this is a home for simple pleasures. 

Though you’re nicely tucked away from the hustle and bustle here, you’re not too far from the action. Turin is just a fifty-six-minute drive away, so you can easily get your fix of city life. Make a day of it, and spend your time strolling along the boulevards lined with baroque buildings, admiring the architecture, and sampling some of the world-famous cuisine.

We love how easily this apartment lends itself to any occasion. A cosy bedroom, a living room for watching the smart TV, a workspace, or a romantic dining space. Its classic, neutral-toned decor is sleek and timeless, while still having a homeliness to it. 

Even if you're in Lugano on business, it'd be remiss not to explore this wonderful city with its unique blend of Swiss and Italian cultures. The Museum of Art of Italian Switzerland is not to be missed, and you can even sail between Switzerland and Italy for a day trip. Or, you can head to the Old Town to soak up the mix of Swiss-style buildings and Italian-style piazzas. And while there's so much to see, eat, drink, and do in Lugano, the city's highlight is the dazzling Lake Lugano – you can take in all of its beauty from the waterfront of Parco Ciani.

We were sold on those views of Lake Maggiore alone – and that was before we'd even clapped eyes on the panoramic sunny terrace and newly refurbished interiors of this townhouse. As we're finickity, the downstairs living space feels a little bijou, but with that covered panoramic balcony outside, we don't think you'll mind. And kids will love the novelty of the top-floor mezzanine bedroom with a TV den to spill out into. Perched amidst the hillsides, 700 metres above the lake, you're quietly removed from the bustle. But when it's time to dip your toes into lakeside living, Stresa's grand promenades and history-rich streets bustling with trattorias are just a five-minute drive away.
