So I started the process of buying a lovely old mill in the Luino area on Lago di Maggiorie. Visited the proeprty with the estate agent at christmas. Went back to the UK decided we wanted to go for it. One main house with appartment ajoining.
Hi all,I wonder if anyone has any views of the village of Dumenza beside Luino. My wife and I are looking at buying soon in the Lagio di Maggiore area.
Hi Cris, must admit like theBirra Moretti.One other thing, we are looking to buy in Lago di Maggiore area soon. We have a viewing arranged over xmas so fingers crossed, the dream will come true.
Hi We have been driving to Italy now for many years. I live in NE England and we normally go to Lago Di Maggiore or Lago Di Como area. We normally take our caravan down with us. I have two routes which I take,NE England down to Cambridge, overnight stop, then Cambridge to Calais for overnight stop, then rump it down to Basel via Lille, Lux,Metz,Strasberg,Basel. Overnight stop in the first service area in Basel. Then next day down through the Gothard and into italy. Setup in campsite by lunchtime with a nice Italian beer. Due to health reasons my wife cant drive whilst towing the caravan so I do all of the driving. Door to door 1150miles. Summer just gone, we had a wedding to go to and we decided to do the overnigth from Hull to Zeebrugge, then romp it down to Basel etc.More expensive on the ferries but a lot quicker. All in all, probably cheaper in time and fuel even though I get nearly 50mpg towing. I just wish the towing experience in England was as good as that on the continent. And as far as staying in service areas, you just need to use your sense as to which type to stay in. Always stay in proper areas with restaurant and facilities not just the sidings with a toilet. The likes of th caravan club like to scare monger. Steve
