Once you traverse the switchbacks, and climb to the apartment, you are treated with amazing views of Lake Como. Be forewarned that you are not close to restaurants like you would be if you stayed in Como, so plan accordingly. Summer is a bit hot in the area and this apartment does not have A/C. Regardless, a great place to stay, access to the Blevio ferry stop, and a wonderful home base for our stay in the area.
The apartment was spacious and well equipped. The view was stunning. it was quiet and safe. The road up to the apartment is narrow for a car but this is only due to the parked vehicles - the parking space was a definite bonus. There was a bus stop at the bottom of the hill which gave regular access to Como. Communication was great with Lake Como Holiday - we would definitely book with them again.
Die Wohnung entsprach den im Inserat gemachten Versprechungen. Das Willkommenspaket mit einer Flasche Wein, Cornflakes, Kekse... war eine schöne und sinnvolle Ăberraschung. Die Anfahrt ĂŒber die sehr schmale und vollgeparkte StraĂe, ist die ersten Male sehr abenteuerlich. Die Betten waren gut und der Ausblick von den 3 Balkonen ist sehr schön. In den Schlafzimmern kann man direkt aus dem Bett auf den See schauen. Dass die Wohnung keine Klimaanlage hat, ist bekannt, sollte man aber noch einmal ĂŒberdenken, da trotz geschlossener FensterlĂ€den die Temperatur im Untergeschoss meist um die 26 Grad war und im Obergeschoss in den Schlafzimmern waren es meist noch 2-3 Grad mehr. In den Schlafzimmern konnte man sich mit den Ventilatoren und den Fenstern mit Fliegengitter einigermaĂen behelfen. Im Erdgeschoss mĂŒsste man aber im Bad auch ein Fliegengitter anbringen und einen der ZugĂ€nge zum Balkon mit einem einfachen Fliegengitter versehen, da man sonst keinen Durchzug hat oder alle MĂŒcken der Gegend einlĂ€dt. Der Bereich hinter dem Haus mit einem Tisch und StĂŒhlen war nicht einladend. Dort wĂ€re Platz fĂŒr ein kleines Schwimmbecken, fĂŒr das wir gerne einen Aufpreis gezahlt hĂ€tten. WLAN, KĂŒchengerĂ€te etc. haben sehr gut funktioniert. Der Ort selbst hat eigentlich nichts zu bieten. Es gibt eine Bar, die man leider jeden Abend hört. Supermarkt in Como. Problem den MĂŒll zu entsorgen. Haben nur einen Flaschencontainer gefunden und den Rest daneben abgestellt.
