Polidora

We have stayed in quite a few very nice Sawday’s properties but La Polidora is the best. Amazing property of about 17 acres incl. 1 km of lakefront shore (with a beautiful beach/swimming area), the owner’s beautiful villa, a range of unusual plants and trees (the deciduous cypress trees growing in the water by the shore are a highlight and look like something out of Star Wars) and comfortable guesthouse with just three rooms. The owners were most friendly and welcoming and Sylvia who ran the guesthouse was excellent and most helpful. We were delighted to spend 5 nights there and will return.

Simply stunning! Amazing lakeside gardens looking across the water into the Alps, a beautfully converted 'fattoria' (farm building) which made for a spacious and comfortable B&B, and a very short walk to the village where the 'kiosk' on the 'beach' served one of the best evening meals we've ever eaten in Italy! Next morning we were on the lake ferry across to the western shore and on into Switzerland - perfect for an en-route break or to explore the western lakes. Definitely 'special', indeed very special.

This is a lovely place, very well appointed with lovely gardens - but the best thing is the delightful Giulia who prepares a wonderful breakfast and is always smilingly helpful.

This is an unbelievable place. A barn converted into a lovely B&B in the extensive grounds of a luxury villa on Lake Maggiore. Make sure you walk around the beautiful botanical gardens of the property. They are a sight to behold. Special thanks to Giulia who did everything to make our stay comfortable, despite the unexpected torrential rain that accompanied our brief visit!

This place is wonderful! A charming house which is tastefully furnished and surrounded by a huge botanic garden. You feel like being in paradise from the moment you arrive. The service is also fantastic! This was our second visit and we will surely come back soon.
