Thought I only stayed for one night while visiting family in the local area, Marco and Mira were the perfect hosts. I had a suite over looking the rear garden which was so peaceful and quiet, I think the bed was possibly the most comfortable bed I had ever slept in. The complimentary toiletries were a nice touch too.
The property is set back from the main road through Lierna, and accessed by a long sweeping driveway or a set of stone pedestrian steps which wind up through trees and shrubs. The lake is stones throw and the views from the lounge and breakfast room are stunning. Though Lierna is a small village, the property is very convenient and gives easy access to the local bakers, ferry stop, promenade and train station.
While this is a family house complete with two small children and a very friendly boxer dog, I was made to feel most welcome by the family. Over breakfast, where nothing was too much trouble, the owner and I chatted about the history of the area and this unique property, which was fascinating.
I just wish I could have stayed for more than one night, but now I know I’ve found a little gem, I will definitely be back when soon.
