beautiful house
A lovely house right on the shore of Lake Como, we stayed for 3 nights.
You rent half of the house and the owners stay in the other half, so it's a bit like a large gite. This is fine though as sometimes you need some help with the local amenities, but it's just not made clear in the listing.
There's boat hire and a restaurant next door, and a delicatessen in the town at the top which is great.
Pros: lovely house, gardens and pool
Owners are very nice and helpful, Sergio is rightly proud of his restoration of the house.
Aircon in the bedrooms is really good
Beautiful view of the lake
Cons:
The housekeeper was quite bullish and walked in on my wife when she was in the shower even though we told her to leave that room alone (in Italian) beforehand. So that was a bit weird.
Daily housekeeping just isn't necessary and is usually left until after you've checked out to ensure privacy.
Overall though I would definitely recommend this property as it really is a beautiful house in a great location, and the host and his son were really nice and helpful.
