Italy Bed and Breakfast - This B&B holiday apartment for rent lies on the shores of Lake Monate, near Lake Maggiore and just 20km from Milan's Malpensa Airport.
Its setting is hard to beat - beautifully peaceful and secluded, with a private beach and nearby holiday facilities, and with major cities and transport links nearby.
The bed and breakfast faces its own beach on Lake Monate, within its own private gardens. With two double bedrooms, bathroom, living room with satellite TV, and your own kitchen you'll feel right at home. Additional beds and a child's cradle are available if you require. There is a nearby pizzeria and restaurant should you wish to eat out.
You can choose between two different holidays. Bed & breakfast is suitable for those staying just a few days. Breakfast will be prepared each morning with coffee, milk, jam, cookies and fruit. Or you can take the entire apartment on a self-catering basis, ideal for longer periods. Here you will have all facilities and a balcony.
Prices for B&B start at EURO €40 per night, with double rooms from €70. Extra beds can be installed at €16 per night. The apartment is available weekly, from €450 for two guests, and from €500 for four guests.
La Vigna sits between the villages of Monate and Cadrezzate, lying under a kilometre from the centre of Monate. And situated in the heart of Lombardy's Lake District, the apartment is just 17km from the town of Varese. This busy, very pleasant modern town has all the shops, restaurants and other facilities you'll want. Lake Como lies 40km away. This is a lovely spot to visit, with its charming mix of pretty villages, little ports, and villas set in shaded and exotic gardens; a boat trip along Como is well worthwhile. [View on Google Map]

And the huge, snaking Lake Maggiore itself is, of course, the most famous of the Italian Lakes. Strikingly beautiful it is by turns elegant, majestic and wild, with the Borromean Islands sitting within. The lake is fed from the north by the Ticino River, flowing down from Alpine Switzerland, and the waters of Maggiore change over its stretch south from jade green to a rich blue. Combining a mild climate with exotic, lush vegetation on its banks, you have to take a boat trip along Maggiore.
And when you want some city life, head into Milan, just 56km away. The affluent, elegant second city of the Republic, Milan offers fine museums and galleries. Lombardy's capital, set at the foot of the Alps, it also offers the world's finest shopping, with chic little shops and designer stores.
