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 the countryside, but it is always just 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 entirely of stone, gneiss, brick and granite, while the floors (both external and internal) are exclusively in marble, lava, travertino, slate and stone. We tried, as far as possible, to use sustainable materials such as ecological cement for the construction and recycling of furniture in the dwellings, 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

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. The forest path can not be driven with low-level sports cars. For "normal" cars it is not a problem.
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, (right by the lake) or eat in good restaurants and pizzerias .. The nearest restaurant is in 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.

Holiday in Violetta
Where to start: The location of the estate directly high above the lake is simply gorgeous. There are many beautiful opportunities to spend time outdoors, experience nature and enjoy the view. The buildings are designed in a way that is typical of the place in terms of their architecture and use of materials and are beautifully integrated into the landscape. Violetta is very well equipped, especially the view of the lake from the living room or balcony and the bathroom are unique. Bettina and Andrea are lovely and very accommodating hosts. I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Dreamlike paradise
We had a wonderful vacation at the Finca Cascina Borchina Violetta. The view from our apartment was fantastic due to its great location. The finca is surrounded by nature, including a herb garden and lemon trees, making it ideal for relaxing. However, Maccanio and Luino can be reached quickly, where you can find excellent Italian cuisine thanks to the good tips from the hosts Bettina and Andrea. They are very attentive to their guests and have created something that must be seen with your own eyes. They have prepared the property with great attention to detail. Waking up kissed by the sun in the morning, enjoying the view of the brilliantly blue lake, and ending the day on the balcony with their own wine, what could be more beautiful.
Our apartment was very clean. The kitchen is well stocked and everything is stylishly and equipped with high-quality furniture.
There are also numerous nearby attractions, so you can have a varied vacation.
We would like to thank the two of them for the lovely stay and will definitely come back.
We can highly recommend the apartment to others and are looking forward to a joyful reunion.

Dreamlike location
Already upon arrival, we were thrilled by the idyllic property. The fantastic view of Lake Maggiore, the location far away from the hustle and bustle and traffic near the lake rounded off our days. Bettina and Andrea have created a little paradise with a lot of taste and love
Beautiful hikes open up the higher mountain villages. Even if the walk to Maccagno requires a bit of fitness, one is all the more pleased to be able to enjoy the balcony, garden and flat.
Our two friendly hosts have collected many tips, so that we would be very happy to come back.

We really enjoyed it, the location with a lake view and very quiet and secluded is a dream. Early in the morning, the deer stand over the house on the hill. The equipment of the holiday apartment Violetta is comfortable and high-quality, everything is very clean. The herbs in the garden can be used. Bettina immediately helps with any questions, we will definitely come back. Sabine and Georg.

Wow, what a vacation!
We had a wonderful and totally relaxing vacation. A dream of a property that Bettina and Andrea have created there. We enjoyed the peace and the indescribable view of Lake Maggiore. The Violetta apartment is an ideal cuddle nest for 2 people. Equipped with everything you need, and if you should happen to miss something, just ask. The furnishings are of high quality and carefully selected with love. I found the bathroom a dream and would like to have something like that at home :)). The drive on typical narrow Italian roads is very beautiful and the private road to the farmhouse is natural and a bit adventurous. We thank Bettina and Andrea for this vacation and hope to see each other again. Regards, Manuela and Sascha

Highly recommended
I can only recommend these vacation apartments, which is why we booked for the second time. The accommodation is very well maintained and modern. We didn't miss anything. The wonderful view of Lake Maggiore from the balcony and property is worth mentioning. In Maccagno and the surrounding area, there is something for everyone to do, whether it's hiking (easy to challenging trails), sightseeing, shopping, or swimming in Lake Maggiore (water shoes are recommended). "Last, but not least," I would like to mention the wonderful hospitality of the landlords Bettina and Andrea. We would gladly come again.

Holiday as we wished
We spent a wonderful holiday in the flat Violetta
The large grounds and the imposing location of the house are unique. We simply couldn't get enough of it. Cascina Borchina is in a privileged, absolutely quiet location surrounded by an unobstructed view of the lake. The unobstructed view of the glittering lake is breathtaking and, in our eyes, unsurpassable. Sun from morning till evening ! The flat inside was very clean and very well maintained and equipped with everything you need. The double bed is very comfortable and everything around is very lovingly equipped. Internet, German TV etc. all available. The owners and the contact were very pleasant and friendly.
We can recommend the accommodation without reservation and we will come again.
