It would be much better to have the facts about the property upfront: - it is not reachable by own vehicle (which you have to leave in the village below) as these are restricted roads, - the "shuttle" is a tiny Fiat Panda (so if you're travelling as a group, that is several trips), - the units are close together and the owner warned us to be quiet as other guests were already sleeping (given how sound carried we felt we couldn't even watch TV at normal volumes - a basic ask; hanging a heavy curtain over the doorway would absorb more of the sound); - not even instant coffee in the room. Btw, the suite layout is such that the bathroom is after the bedroom, awkward for groups that are not very close/families. Overall, we felt fooled by the high star rating and overexaggerated description of facilities (i.e., the patio pic included in the room-specific section is a common area) - we would not have chosen this place if we had the true facts, especially because the labourious arrival process is just not worth it for one night. To add insult to injury, the owner was also rather unpleasant. The view is spectacular and facilities are new and clean.

This place is a unique gemstone. It’s an adventure to get to it, but you won’t have to do the driving, you will have the most memorable drive through ancient town built into the side of the mountain and the owners car will get a couple of more scratches but it’s all worth it. The view is the Best we have encountered in Italy and you will meet the owners pets and maybe will have the pleasure seeing their flying squirrel that lives on the fig tree. Amazing experience.

Thank you Gianluca & Matteo!!!

The host went above and beyond helpful. Our flight was delayed, our Uber cancelled twice, we ended up getting there 3 hours after last check in, but Gianluca & Matteo were there for us and saved the day by getting us safely to the guest house. A fantastic breakfast with spectacular views, I would recommend this place to anyone.

The house is a throw back into another error but the setting is absolutely stunning with views north across Lake Como bookended by lush, green steep mountains. You need to be met by the homeowner Gianluca in the small town of Molina and he picks you up in a small fiat. You leave your car there and he comes to collect you and your luggage. The reason is simply, once you set off up the hill, as the car barely fits between the ancient homes on either side of the cobbled stone narrow street. Don’t worry as you won’t be isolated during your stay (you can if you choose) as he will shuttle you back to your car. From within hours of your check-in Gianluca will WhatsApp you all the arrive details to include map directions to the dinner, breakfast and drinks menu. He and his staff, including Stella on breakfasts are extremely attentive. If you want medicinal quiet, it’s doesn’t get any better than Essentia!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Essentia Guest House. Gianluca went above and beyond. Met us to shuttle us back and forth to the location, his dining options were excellent, and he even took us to the local train station. This is a quaint and charming experience with gorgeous views of lake como, and you really feel immersed into the culture. Highly recommend.

Wonderful place to disconnect and relax. Gianluca was an awesome host and picked me up at the bus stop (I didn’t rent a car). He also accommodated my vegetarian meal requests. Really beautiful view of Lake Como from the hills. There is a hot tub to relax in the evenings, very nice place, room had a fireplace as well. Superb experience, I read and relaxed and left energized for more adventures.
