Eighteen wonderful days on a Lake Como!

My husband and I and three of our adult children stayed at this lovely property for 18 nights and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience . The view of the lake from the balconies was superb. We were fortunate to enjoy perfect weather which made our holiday even more enjoyable. The house is well fitted out, very clean, has loads of storage for clothes, luggage etc.and we particularly enjoyed walking into Varenna to enjoy the excellent restaurants and bars Parking was no problem at all: right at the front door. Franco is a kind and helpful host who was happy to advise us of the surrounding sights and in particular where we could access wifi. We would definitely recommend this property: you will not be disappointed!

September on the Lake!

I agree with all the previous comments that have been made, this is a beautiful family home in a gorgeous spot right on the lake. The house is on three levels, very well equipped, very clean and has so much storage/ cupboard space. The house was bigger than we needed (we are a couple), but would suit a family with 2 or 3 children. The location of the house is spectacular, you really couldn't ask for more, the views are just beautiful. There is a restaurant across the road which is quite expensive, as well as a bottega where you can buy beautiful fresh bread and croissants etc as well as basic groceries. If I really had to get picky the bed in the main room isn't that comfortable, and the house can do with an updated television. Lastly, Franco is a lovely man, he met us at the station when we arrived, and gave us a lift back when we left. I highly recommend this house to anyone visiting this beautiful district, and look forward to returning myself.

Alles bestens!

Machen wir es kurz: wir haben für nächstes Jahr bereits wieder gebucht :) Es war für uns ein rundum gelungener Urlaub und wir können uns den anderen Kommentaren nur anschließen. Die Straße vor dem Haus und die damit verbundenen Geräusche störten uns jetzt z.B. nicht.

Lake front beauty

Our stay at Franco’s house was perfect from start to finish. Our plane was delayed but he waited to meet us. The house was even better than the pictures, the location is perfect the size of the property is great for 5 adults. The lake level room is perfect to store your supplies for a day on the beach and with a toilet and shower it’s perfect to use after a swim in the lake. This visit marked my parents 13th trip to this area so we have stayed in many places. We have booked to go back again next year so that should tell you how wonderful the house and Franco is. He even took us to the train station when we couldn’t get a taxi. He is so helpful, checking in on us via WhatsApp to see if we needed anything and dropped off some fruit fresh from his garden. If you are going to stay anywhere then this should be your first choice.

Alles perfekt!

Die Wohnung ist toll. Alles war wie beschrieben und sehr sauber. Franco ist ein sehr toller Gastgeber und war immer ansprechbar. Wir waren mit 2 Kindern sowie mit SUP und Paddelboot in der Wohnung. Sowohl SUP als auch Paddelboot konnten problemlos im Keller untergebracht werden. Somit konnte man sich auch spontan und ohne viel Aufwand an den öffentlichen Strand direkt vor der Haustüre aufmachen. In Fiumelatte selbst ist es ruhig und entspannt. Fiumelatte ist ein idealer Ausgangspunkt, um sich in die nächstgelegene Stadt Varenna zu Fuß zu begeben. Wir werden bestimmt nochmal wiederkommen. Leider ist sie nächstes Jahr schon ausgebucht.
