Family-friendly vacation rentals in Porto Valtravaglia

Our stay at Carla’s was fantastic. The property offers a breathtaking view, with the lake, mountains, and sunsets creating a truly unforgettable backdrop. Experiencing it all from the comfort of the balcony made it even more special. The added amenities like the pool and jacuzzi were a perfect touch—super relaxing and just what we needed.

This was my first ever Airbnb stay. The view from the balcony is gorgeous and is exactly what’s displayed in the pictures. There’s an indoor heated pool and sauna in the spa area that makes this a unique stay compared to the others. Even tho we didn’t get to fully use the spa it was a great amenity to have. It’s about 13 minutes driving from the main attraction area so plan accordingly. If you’re not a fan of roads with many corners plan to encounter a few going up to the apartment as well. Andrea the cohost was very friendly and responsive. Overall this was a very nice location. It’s great for a weekend get away. I can just imagine how great it is summertime. Thanks a lot for accommodating us.

The apartment is simply fantastic, especially the view of the lake. The kitchen as well as the bathroom is fully equipped, you feel like home. The hot tub and sauna are super easy to use – there were clear instructions on notes on site so you didn't have to ask questions or contact anyone. Everything was self-explanatory and uncomplicated, totally pleasant, especially if you just want to have your peace and quiet. It was the same when you checked in. This was also done on instructions and you could practically check yourself in. The organization is great! Thank you for this lovely holiday! We will be happy to come back. From us there are 5/5 stars!!!

This is honestly the best vacation home I have ever stayed in, and we travel a lot. The pictures of the view don’t do it justice. We were in awe just staring out every window at the beauty of the mountains and lake. The indoor pool, sauna, and steam room were great places to relax and unwind, and even better it was private (you book the hour). The inside of the home was beautiful and the kitchen had everything you need. At first we didn’t have a car, but after seeing how high up the mountain we were, we went back to town and rented a car for the duration. Made it a lot easier to explore without having to rely on taxis. Can’t wait to come back.

Just returned after a long weekend here with our two children. The views at this property were unbelievable and were the absolute highlight of the accomodation. Andrea was incredibly friendly, informative and supportive with any help we required. I would recommend hiring a car if you're staying here, we don't think we'd have managed it with the children and it would have left us feeling isolated. Be aware that if you're going with children that it can feel quite cosy and not much space. However, the outdoor terrace had plenty of space and was safe and secure. The lesireu facilities were okay, would benefit from some maintenance but it helped to give the children something to do in an evening. A local restaurant nearby but mostly requiring transport. Varenna is absolutely stunning and a must see, the Lovers Walk, the Lakes Bakery and just watching the world go by at the Lake was amazing. Definitely a trip for beautiful sites and slow living. Thank you ❤️

Beautiful area, fantastic view of the lake from the balcony. The apartment is perfect for 2 people, but a car is advisable because of the location. We enjoyed the time very much, also the SPA area is highly recommended. Communication with our host was also very good. We will be happy to come back!

Luca gave us a very warm welcome. The location is fantastic with views of Lake Orta and the mountains. Our kids had a lot of fun playing with the cats and the dog. We will be happy to come back.

Wonderful stay in a very nice location. Pure relaxation.

Beautiful apartment, very well-equipped with ample parking. We particularly liked the kitchen with everything you need to make good meals, as well as the 2 bathrooms for each large bedroom. We'll be happy to go back!

We felt very comfortable at the place and would be happy to come back. The apartment was very clean and it has everything you need. We and our dogs enjoyed the small garden very much. Very quiet and optimal location for activities. The parking is right in front of the house. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. Thank you very much for the lovely stay and see you soon!

I had such a lovely stay at Enrica’s place! She is truly a wonderful host, exceptionally kind, helpful, and generous. From the moment I arrived, she made me feel incredibly welcome and at home. She went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed and offered great local tips that made my visit comfortable and easy. Her warm hospitality and attention to detail made one of the best airbnd experiences i have had!

Exceptional hospitality! Lots of small touches: welcome basket, extremely well-equipped. Excellent hospitality from Federico and Felicitas, kind, communicative and ready to answer all our questions! 2 roads to get there: follow the instructions on the site otherwise you will have cold sweats because one of the 2 is very narrow. Very good location for visiting Lake Como. We were on bikes and took the funicular (athletic, but doable)

This is a sweet cottage on a large lot with private access to the lake. It has kayaks, stand-up paddle boards and bikes. It was great to sit on the lake’s edge and just chill. Small but functional kitchen and great coffee! There is a pellet fireplace that we used one cool evening which is very nice. Bruno and Fabiola couldn’t be nicer. Bruno met us on arrival, introduced us to the place, and was always available for questions. Lago Orta is a beautiful lake and a great location that is off the usual tourist circuit. We enjoyed our time there very much.

This was the best place we've stayed at on Air B&B so far. Thanks again to Monica. We'll be back for sure.... everything perfect.

Very nice and cozy apartment above a beautiful alpine lake. We quickly felt like home. Having dinner with a stunning view across the lake was really great. Thanks a lot!

Wonderful and unique Place directly on the lake! Very quite and Perfect Place to relax and enjoy the area and landscape! Davide and his mother Marina are super friendly and we felt very welcome and we Hope to come again soon!

Great view and the pool (which we could no longer use in October because of the weather) are a dream. Paola is a dream host and always available and had many tips right from the start. Unfortunately, shopping is not possible in the village, which means you either have to buy something in smaller stores (if you can find a parking space) or you have to go back to Como. Otherwise, you can also start a few hikes directly from the apartment. Restaurants are available in the village or in nearby villages as long as you can find a parking space - which unfortunately was an issue even in October (also due to construction sites)

We had the best time at Anna’s it was the perfect spot for our group. Her place was spacious and clean with gorgeous views of the lake. The walking path was right out the door and lead to some yummy restaurants. The Ferry station for the boats was right where the walking path ends, about 5-8 mins walk from the apartment. We have no complaints. We had the best time!!

David was very responsive throughout the process. He sent me a video showing the condo and the views of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. I communicated that we would arrive early and there was someone waiting for us to let us in and show us around. The condo was gorgeous and very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked. I highly recommend David’s condo!

The apartment is located in an enchanted park and the view over the lake is beautiful. The apartment itself is very spacious, especially in the living and dining area. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Elena is a wonderful host.

We (couple) are repeat offenders and always happy to be at Casa Roselli. We arrive and feel at home. Monika is an incredibly nice hostess. The amenities in the house are exceptionally good and commendable and everything is always taken care of in and around the house. The pool and garden are also great. All in all, an extraordinary spot on earth and a small island of bliss! Thanks for the nice vacation.

David and Rozeta are excellent hosts. they were responsive. Rozeta helped us checkin, show us the apartment, and provided tips for sight seeing. she permitted us for a slightly later checkout. she also informed us of the free street parking. it was a bit hard to drive to this location after dark, and to carry luggage down several steps. But, David helped us after checkout.

The place was very cozy and practically furnished. The location was very good for us: close to the train station for excursions, within walking distance to the old town and lake with swimming facilities, with shopping nearby. The pool in the settlement was very clean and the children especially liked it. Thanks a lot, we'll be happy to come back!

We had a lovely time in Baveno. Laura is a wonderful host. She is proactive in communication and very helpful with any questions that come up (there was even an info sheet with tips for restaurants and excursions) . The apartment is very well equipped, except for an oven (if you need it) there was nothing missing. Only, the walls to the neighboring apartment are quite audible.
