|  | The house was originally a farm house with meter thick stone walls, which with great vision and hard work became the wonderful home we now live in and can offer to our guests. Lake Maggiore has its own mild microclimate which makes it comfortable all year round and which is perfect for gardens and residents.
Luino market on Wednesdays is famous throughout Europe with coachloads of visitors coming from as far afield as Holland, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The market offers a variety of goods, and is particularly popular for its leather goods and fresh local produce. It is the largest open air market in Northern Italy.
For further details and photographs of this stunning location, please visit our website | | | | | Activities (on site and in local area) | There is a map in the apartment with local information on cycle trails and suggested hikes from the flat. The local area is well known for its superb mountain biking (see http://www.lakemaggiore.50g.com/en/mountain-biking-lake-maggiore.htm), stunning walks, rich wildlife, and wonderful food. The area is so renowned for cycling that the 2008 World Road Cycling Championships were held here in the nearby town of Varese. For those who enjoy food, the area is full of wonderful eating places, ranging from gelaterias with huge displays of mouth-watering home-made ice-cream, to tiny hostelries serving delicious crisp pizzas baked in the "forno al legno" (great wood-fired ovens), to a significant number of Michelin-starred restaurants in the area.
The s/c lodgings are at the heart of a popular
golfing region, with eleven golf courses within striking distance. Lake Maggiore hosts a huge variety of water sports, including windsurfing, sailing, canoeing, rowing, diving, fishing, and water ski-ing.
Other activities in the zone include horse-riding and bungee jumping (the highest bungee jump in the world is in the area). The region is also renowned for the international film and music festivals in Locarno, the La Scala opera house in Milan, and the countless smaller concerts in the area.
For those of you who are chocoholics there are two chocolate factories nearby.
Milan is just one hour away so really easy to visit for a day's shopping at the world's great fashion houses, or to sightsee and tour the museums. There are ferries on the Lake for sightseeing tours and access to the other side of the lake with its pretty villages and towns. This area is also world famous for its beautiful gardens accessible to the public for a small fee. Some accessible by ferry and some by road.
In the summer there are also regular fireworks displays over the lake, which can be viewed either from the comfort of the holiday studio flat here at Casa Lunga, or down by the waterside for a closer view. Local festas range from wine and beer festivals, to pumpkin and roast chestnut festivals, agricultural fairs (complete with donkey races between competing villages!), and international choir competitions.
For those who enjoy dancing, there is also an active salsa scene for all ages in Luino and in the area.
