Location and surroundings of object

More information and our "History".

More than ten years ago, we looked at the lake and dreamed with open eyes and year by year, stone by stone, has become reality from Finca Cascina Borchina. Restored and rebuilt, according to old pre-existing farmhouses, today it is a small finca with Family business, opening April 2017.

Finca Cascina Borchina is located on a hillside and offers a breathtaking view of Lake Maggiore and in words it is really hard to describe. For this reason, we have made numerous photos (all of our estate and not of viewpoints) so you have an idea of ​​our view and of the countryside, but it is always only a part of what we offer. We assure you that it is much more beautiful in "nature"!

materials

What distinguishes the structure is undoubtedly the attention to detail and the choice of materials. In the years we have always tried to create an elegant and refined environment, but at the same time rustic, to connect with the surrounding nature. The exterior walls of the house are completely made of stone, gneiss, brick and granite, while the floors (both external and internal) are exclusively in marble, lava, travertino, slate and stone. We have tried, as far as possible, to use sustainable materials, such as ecological cement for building and recycling furniture in the apartments, but also the walls and exterior walls of the old pre-existing farmhouse, respecting the ancient tradition. We have tried not to avoid ecological materials and prefer to use wood and stone to create herbeds around the house to facilitate integration with the surrounding vegetation. Although we are in the middle of a forest, Cascina Borchina is surrounded by ancient rocks and stone walls, which was used in the history for the cultivation of fruit plants and wine. Today we have lemon trees, herb cacti, wild cherry, oak and hazelnut, chestnut and whitethorn.

environment

Cascina Borchina is literally surrounded by nature and surrounded by forest paths, although we can be reached by car quickly. For those who want to spend a relaxing holiday, to rest around a close contact with the nature, Cascina Borchina is ideal. For this reason, we welcome sportsmen and yoga lovers, moutain bikers, hikers, couples seeking romance, but also families and friends who want to go on holiday together.

Cascina Borchina, everyone is welcome, but not recommended for small children, as there are many walls and stairs in the garden.

Remarkable is the fact that there are no other houses near Cascina Borchina, you can hear and see no cars just from the guests.

To the point?

It is extremely difficult to label Cascina Borchina:

We believe it is rustic but oriental style, modern and up to date, quiet, but not melancholic. For us, it is simply a home and everything you would like to enjoy in its time to relax. Our desire is that you spend in an unforgettable place, your special holiday

additional information:

Cascina Borchina can be reached by car in about 10 minutes from Maccagno and its beaches (about km from the hill). You have to get up on the hill about five minutes, in the direction of Campagnano. Before Campagnano turn into a dirt road. In the case of a low sports car, we recommend driving slowly.

Maccagno is a famous holiday destination from spring to late autumn, due to its proximity to the border with Switzerland (about 6 km). Maccagno is a small town on Lake Maggiore, which offers a lot: Freeclimber in every season directly at the rocks of the Lago, hiking and cycling (road bike and mountain bike) and the famous market on Wednesday in Luino (about 5 km away) Visit the museum of contemporary art, take long walks along the lake, go swimming, boating, pedal boating, beach volleyball or tennis, (directly at the lake) or eat in good restaurants and pizzerias Km from the finca. In spring, summer and autumn, Maccagno offers boat trips to Stresa, Cannobbio, Locarno and the Borromean Islands and many other beautiful places.

During the autumn season, Cascina Borchina is ideal for long walks and for freeclimbers, but also in the cities shopping and sightseeing. By car: Lugano (Switzerland) is only 35 minutes, Locarno (Switzerland) 30 minutes, Milan in about 1:20 by car or train, Lake Como, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Near Lugano, there is also an outlet with over 80 shops open all year round.

Maccagno has a post office, a pharmacy, a bank and a supermarket, a laundry and a car-sharing service, several well-developed climbing walls for freeclimbers.


Ski: The small but very fine ski resort at Monte Ceneri above Lugano is only 35 minutes away from the finca. The high-alpine ski resorts in the Aosta Valley, such as the magnificent area around Monte Rosa, Cervinia at the foot of the Matterhorn or Courmayeur on the southern side of the Mont Blanc, can be easily reached via the motorway approximately 2 1/2 hours driving time. This is even worth a day trip!

Golf: Our beautiful holiday paradise is also an ideal destination for passionate golfers. The old Lugano Golf Club is only 25 minutes away by car in the small town of Magliaso, directly on Lake Lugano. Also the golf club near the lake of Varese is well reached in about 45 minutes by car. The 'Le Robinie Golf Course' was designed by Jack Niklaus as a beautiful green garden. The 18-hole golf course is a masterpiece with amphitheater, bunker, terraces, ponds, valleys and hills. Everything is coordinated, the course is a challenge for every golfer and compels him so many skills and abilities. The course includes a driving range with 18 covered slopes, 2 putting greens, pitching green, clubhouse with changing rooms, well stocked Pro Shop; Hotel complex with indoor pool and fitness area, seminar rooms and large car park. The course is open all year round (except on 1 January and 15 August).

A wonderful place for an exciting holiday.

: Perfect accommodation

We had a wonderful week at the accommodation. In the moment that you stand in the apartment and can enjoy the view, you have arrived and forgotten about everyday life. That's how it was for us - every morning anew :)
Bettina and Andrea do a wonderful job of addressing needs and are always approachable and helpful, without being intrusive.
A truly great week that unfortunately passed by too quickly.

Paradise on earth

I admit that my girlfriend and I were a little sceptical at first...does it really look like the pictures?
After mastering the somewhat bumpy access road to Cascina Borchina, you arrive at a fantastically situated complex. This view cannot be put into words and makes all other thoughts fly away!
We chose the holiday flat FALCO. When you enter the flat, you don't know where to look first. Everything is stylishly furnished with an unmistakable love of detail. You immediately feel at home and that you have arrived.
And then there is the wow effect when you step out onto the balcony every morning and enjoy the view of Lake Maggiore - negative habituation effect.
We spent a lot of time on the property and let our souls dangle there. A lounger, sun and this view of the lake. It's a great way to spend time and the battery is recharged to the brim in no time.
If you are looking for a challenge, take the footpath that leads from the estate to the village of Maccagno and you will work up a good sweat.
With Bettina and Andrea, you couldn't have a better host. You experience both of them every day with a downright contagious positivity and cordiality, for whom the well-being of the guests is noticeably the top priority.
During our stay we also got a detailed insight into the development of Cascina Borchina and can only say Chapeau! Respect and recognition for what they have achieved (or in this case, what they have built on stone).
It is literally paradise on earth and we can recommend a visit to everyone without reservation.
It was visibly difficult for us to leave, but the anticipation of seeing it again is all the greater!
Thank you very much for this great experience and best regards from Nadine and Michael.

Breathtaking view

You enter the apartment and think . . . Wow!! . . . when you see the unique view of Lake Maggiore. We had breakfast and dinner on the balcony every day, which was possible at any time due to the generous roof overhang. The wow effect remains - you see Lake Maggiore in many different moods and weather conditions, which provides great photos. The stony forest path to the property is a bit adventurous, but you get used to it. The location, however, is unique. Bettina greeted us very kindly and immediately provided us with extensive information about excursion possibilities, which were well organized in a folder. Thank you for the great week!!

We spent a wonderful week at Finca Cascina Borchina FALCO. The apartment and the view over the lake are simply fantastic. We didn't miss anything. Even though the last 500 meters of the drive are a bit bumpy, it's not easy to get to "paradise"! We will definitely come back. Warm greetings to Bettina and Andrea, you are worth coming back to.

Dream location on Lake Maggiore

An incredibly beautifully located apartment complex with a unique view over half the lake. The apartments are superbly and individually furnished, and the owners are simply incredibly nice and helpful in every situation. Only the access to the complex is not suitable for sporty cars; it is better to arrive with an SUV.

Rest and relaxation in a perfect location

We were looking for a week of relaxation, peace and quiet.
We found all this in the Finca Cascina Borchina, in a wonderful location in the midst of beautiful nature with a breathtaking view over Lake Maggiore.
On arrival, we were warmly and lovingly welcomed by Bettina and Andrea, our hosts, and it was immediately apparent that they cared deeply about the well-being of their guests.
This devotion was also easily recognisable in the design of the entire property, which appears with creative beauty and respect for nature, yet still captivates with the charm of luxury and specialness.
We were able to chill out on the balcony with a wonderful lake view, have a lovely breakfast and enjoy a glass of wine by candlelight in the evening.
We will definitely be back.

A fantastic vacation in a fantastic location

We booked this apartment, Falco, based on the photos and very good reviews. What can I say, the estate and the view are amazing, truly unique. The location is absolutely quiet and from everywhere you have a fantastic view of the lake. We had a "loading area" right by the apartment for loading and unloading, which was important to us as we had bikes and a lot of luggage with us. A bit further away is the "proper" parking lot. The equipment and loving design of the house were unbeatable. One can tell that the house is dear to the owners and they also live here themselves.
The apartment is extremely well-maintained with solid furniture, marble floors, a great stone shower, a beautiful kitchen with decoration, and very comfortable beds. You have a great view of the lake and the mountains from the dining area and the bed.
Internet access is flawless. The country estate had an optimal location for excursions by bike or on foot for us. With its amenities and location, it is a gem, and anyone who can spend their vacation here is lucky. We have booked again for the fall.
