Il Gatto Nero B&B breakfast

Our B&B is located in a farmhouse dating back to 1904 (where I also live with my family), with a wood and stone structure, and surrounded by woods. We are in the Prealps, at an altitude of 700 meters, with a stunning view of Lake Maggiore. Ideal for physical and mental relaxation, 5 km from the beaches, 80 km from Milan, 35 km from Varese and 45 km from MILAN MALPENSA Airport. The paved mountain road that leads to our house can be driven easily in 10–15 minutes. The space Our house, from the terrace and the garden, offers a wonderful view of Lake Maggiore. Located between two valleys, we are close to both the lake (8 km) and the roads and highways that connect to major cities such as Varese, Como and Milan. Milan Malpensa Airport is about a 45-minute drive away. We are close to and well connected to Lugano, Locarno, Bellinzona, and many other destinations. For those who want to enjoy a quiet vacation without their own means of transport, we can provide the contact information for a driver service near our house. However, please bear in mind that once you arrive here, there are no shops, and you will need to get around on foot (the nearest village with bars or restaurants open in summer is 3 km away). The house is an ideal starting point for exploring various places of interest, but it is also perfect for immersing yourself in the surrounding nature to discover waterfalls, streams and wildlife. For over 20 years, we have been pursuing a rural and sustainable lifestyle, avoiding the use of single-use plastic, changing towels only upon request, using water-saving devices, and installing energy-saving light bulbs. We use energy from certified renewable sources, contributing to a greener and more sustainable environment. Guest access Guests can access the breakfast room, the terrace, the garden, and the lawn next to the small church. During your stay I am always available to assist you during your stay. You can contact me through the Airbnb chat. Please feel free to ask questions or request advice on itineraries and tourist destinations to explore. I remain at your disposal to ensure you have a pleasant and worry-free stay. Other things to note **IMPORTANT:** There are pets in our house, including dogs, cats, a donkey, rabbits, and chickens. Some of them, especially our two dogs, one of which is elderly, can enter the house and are almost always present in the living area of the house. PLEASE NOTE There are no stores here. We recommend that you do your grocery shopping before coming up. In the village of ARCUMEGGIA, there is a kiosk and an inn that are open only in summer and/or on weekends during the high season. We are happy to recommend restaurants and eateries in the surrounding area. The nearest one is 5 km away.
