Iuliana was super helpful. We had booked a villa in Lake Garda directly with an owner. We were badly broken into after two days, decided to leave the villa and secured a full refund but then needed to find another villa for 6 people quickly. Within 3 hours Iuliana had come up with three options for us in our preferred area of Lake Maggiore. The villa she found for us was perfect for our needs and everyone involved bent over backward to make sure the villa was ready for our imminent arrival.

This is a beautiful apartment and the location is amazing. The location is incredible and so are the views. Being so close to the main square is noisy, but with the windows closed it never bothered us. The beds were the most comfortable of all the places we stayed in Italy. One thing that was hard was the air conditioner said it was set to 19 degrees but the coolest it got was 24.5. We had a really hard time sleeping in that. Also, the bathrooms smelled weird like sewage on the second day. It’s an old building so it could have been that. It was a beautiful place and looked exactly like in the pictures. We appreciated how clean it was.
