Definitely is penthouse with the most stunning view over lake Como. Loved coming back each day just to sit on the balcony for the view. Lots of steps to get to the property and located away from the popular places to stay it so worth it. All amenities you could want for a relaxing stay.

The apartment was better than images shown. Open the lounge blinds and get hit by a spectacular view. I personally couldn’t wait to wake up and look at the view again. Fixtures and fittings are of a very high standard. Really comfortable beds, heating and all top spec. Quiet, safe area and well positioned to get to Varenna and nearby towns. Communication with host was also very good. Amazing stay. Thanks

We had a wonderful few days in this lovely apartment. Yes, like other reviewers, we found that the drive into and out of the garage was tight and sloping, but our hire car was medium/small and after we'd done it once, it was no problem. The stairs up to the apartment will keep you fit...but once you get there, the view is breathtaking. We were lucky with beautiful weather every day even at the end of September, and when we weren't out and about around the lake, we spent every moment on the balcony, which is really spacious. A wonderful and memorable stay. Thank you, Sue.

Stunning view and a well equipped apartment. Dorio railway station handy for travel along the lake, only downside is the walk up the hill to the apartment but the view is worth the effort. You would never get tired of that view in the morning whatever the weather! More than recommended!

This gorgeous apartment in Dorio was amazing. The views from the terrace are breathtaking. The apartment has all the modern conveniences and is tastefully decorated.We found the beds extremely comfortable and clean.The apartment is in the quiet town of Dorio, which we enjoyed because Varenna felt too touristy for our tastes though accessible by car. Sue, the host was very responsive when we needed to contact her.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this stunning apartment with a view. Thank you Sue and Martin!

Had a wonderful time . . . , beautiful view of the lake

We had a great time, beautiful views, easy travel to Varenna, Dervio, had a great meal at the restaurant at bottom of hill near the castle, La Taverna del Castello. We speak very little Italian, but were able to make it around just fine.

This was a great place to stay. Clean, quiet, great view, but a little isolated.

We loved staying there, but it was difficult walking there from the train station with our suitcases. If you rent a car, the parking is still difficult, but if you enjoy not having a car and walking, it was really beautiful and peaceful! We loved it anwill try to come back!!

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. However, I would point out that there a number of parking options: as well as the private garage there is a free parking area on the development and it is also possible to park on the road in front of the property.

What a beautiful view!

The sounds of silence! After spending a week in Paris on our trip to Europe, we traveled to Lake Como to stay in this beautiful property in Dorio. The idyllic location is not only beautiful it is also quiet. If you were looking for a place with natural beauty to relax, this is the place!

Fantastico!

What a lovely property! The manager was so wonderful in instructions prior to arrival. The view is beautiful and though there were so many things to do in the area, once there, we were tempted to just cook and enjoy the place and the view!! This is a gem of a place and I can only hope to be so lucky to return some day!

We stayed at this property for 10 days and thoroughly enjoyed it! The apartment was clean, tidy and had everything we needed along with a stunning view over Lake Como. The location was perfect, being located in a small village which was in easy reach of tourist hotspots along the lake via car or train. We would highly recommend. Thank you.

Amazing view - nice stay

We had a nice stay in Sue and Martin apartment. The view is unforgetable. Parking the car is not so easy as explained by our hosts and the neighbours have some tips to help you. It is easy to drive to Varenna to take the traghetto with your car and visit the opposite shore of the lake.

A lovely spot with gorgeous views of Lake Como. In hindsight, I am surprised that some stayed here without a car, as transportation around the lake can be a bit of a challenge. But we found it ideal with our little compact that fit just fine in the cozy garage and easy enough to pop in and out to journey off to the local towns and beyond in our week-long exploration of the area. You certainly are not staying in one of the busy, popular locations when you rent this apartment. But if you like things a bit removed and a bit more peaceful, this is your place.

Stunning view, nice place

Pictures don’t do justice to the view that awaits the renter of this apartment! The lake and the surrounding mountains are stunning. The apartment is nice and comfortable with a great balcony to enjoy the view. I would recommend getting there during the day since it can be a bit tricky at night. Pay attention to the fact that there are 3 flights of steps to climb, but if steps are not a problem, the view is totally worth it!!!

Lovely view and great appartment

We stayed here two years ago and like then it was amazing. We had a nice phonecall with Sue, the owner of the appartment a few days before departure. She gave us the info we needed to have a nice stay. The view is still one of the best we have seen. The appartment is nice and clean and has everything available for al our needs. The locals are very nice and it’s perfectly situated between all the highlights lake como has to offer. There is a train station nearby which we used a lot. Also the lake como is nearby for when you want to swim with a nice view.

Beautiful

Beautiful location with all the amenities to make a self catered stay enjoyable and comfortable. Easy access to Milan and St Moritz. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay over Christmas with carols and a band playing downstairs on Christmas Eve. That was lovely and quaint. Shopping centre is really close by and local pizza is fantastic. Very relaxing and peaceful. Sue gave us spot on and precise instructions for everything we needed. Very amenable host. Would definitely return for another visit.

Outstanding!

This apartment is a great find! stunning views and large and well equipped. The pictures in the website do not do it justice! We loved just sitting on the terrace, having supper and looking out onto the lake. The host was exceptional in her communication and we found the apartment easily. We had hired a car for our stay, but you could easily stay here without a car. The bus stop is at the bottom of the road - 10 mins walk up/down the hill. The bus would take you all around the lake.Thanks Sue for a great few days.

Fantastic apartment with amazing views over the lake

It was very clean, lovely furnishings. Everything you need for a holiday. Incredible large balcony with uninterrupted views of the lake. Walking distance to the train station, beach and excellent bakery/village shop. The walk back to the apartment is up a steep hill. Note that we have a big car and had to park it on the road next to the apartment building. Also for parking in and around Lake Como, a smaller car would be better so we found being near the train and ferry very helpful and we didn't need to use our car the whole time we were there.
