  : Good en-suite. Close to the lake. Aircon worked well.
  : Verbania Luxury Apartments. My accommodation was not an apartment, luxury or otherwise. There were no cooking facilities, no space to prepare even cold food, no fridge. Number 9 is described as a Junior Suite. The term suite implies internationally a seating area and a dining area. Not here. This was a room with a bed, a tv, a kettle and a coffee maker. No wardrobe. There was no view of the lake or the square, only of the wall of the adjacent building less than two metres away. This was not what I thought I was paying for, and the deceptions are too numerous to be accidental.

  : Fresh and friendly rooms, comfy furniture, operational and clean equipment. Everything was nice and tidy, not felt the need to clean the flatware before using anything. All instructions provided via WhatsApp were very clear, easy to understand and left no questions open.
  : Situated in the old city center the flat is not easy to reach with lots of luggage. Parking a car in direct proximity might be difficult. You're lucky meeting an empty spot in less than 400m distance to unload/load, but free of charge parkings are available riverside in 1km distance.

  : Nearest trainstation is in pallanza, but its easier to take the ferry to laveno and take the train from there, and the ferry is in within walking distance, under ten minutes on foot. The ferry is also cheap. Parking space is fairly close, but the host gives instructions on the best parking options, but you cannot have your car parked at the free parking space on friday as there is a market on saturday. The nightlife is nice. The islands can be reached by the ferry as well, although it is a bit more expensive.
  : The closes train station in pallanza was difficult to get to, but another one in laveno can very easily be accessed by ferry Outdoor seating area only for two people.

  : The apartment is well-furnished, modern with all necessary equipment and centrally located. Rafaella is a very welcoming host and very responsive. We had a small issue/favor. In our booking, we asked for 5 individual beds and the flat had four beds. We reached out to Rafaella upon our arrival and she directly provided us with an extra bed. The location is very central - in the middle of historic Intra. The boat harbor is less than a 5min walk along with main restaurants and supermarkets.
  : Nothing. All was perfect

  : Modern spacious impeccably clean apartment conveniently located in the center of the town. Big plus - two bathrooms (really appreciated since we traveled with friends)
  : In the apartment location description it was mentioned that it had the lake view, which apparently is not true - windows are facing other buildings Our bed was quite uncomfortable For the price charged a better quality matras and pillows could have been provided for guests

  : A very comfortable apartment, had all the amenities you might need. Great shower and air conditioning. The building was beautiful and had a lift, great if you're on the top floor and carrying luggage, shopping etc. Great location, next to shops and restaurants and the lake. Cleaning service during the week. Staff were communicative and happy to help.
  : Uncomfortable bed with soft old mattress. The duvets smelled a little weird, maybe a wash was due?. The sofa bed was not the best either. Some dark blinds in the living room would truly help keep the sun and heat out. Parking location and having to pay extra for it was not the best if you have ample luggage, kids etc. The free parking was not available on Saturday due to market and had to find other parking. Not to difficult, but inconvenient. For a property categorised as "luxury", some improvements could be made. Better attention to detail in toiletries and decoration would make this apartment even better.
