Casnate Con Bernate apartments

A lovely host who made so very welcome, gave us lots of really good advice and even baked us a cake! We couldn’t be happier.

Osman's property is the perfect location to explore the beautiful Lake Como. Torno is a quiet, charming and very friendly village but easily connected to Bellagio, Como and all the lovely villages on the lake. The property is very comfortable with a great balcony with superb views of the lake to enjoy the evening sunsets over the mountain or the quiet of the mornings as the sound of the church bells waft up the hill. Osman is a very friendly host and is easily accessible for advice and assistance. We spent a month in the apartment and had a wonderful and relaxing time - the walks in the mountain behind the apartment, the ferry rides to all the villages and the quiet afternoons we spent in the piazza made for a very special time. Be aware that at the height of summer it can get hot and the apartment - like many in Europe - doesn't have air conditioning. But Osman does provide a great fan and the siestas are a good time to just chill out. We had a memorable stay. Quentin and Marilyn.

We spent a week at Sara's apartment in October. We found it very well equipped and comfortable, and the location just off the Piazza del Duomo is amazing. Como is an inviting town with a beautiful vista around every corner, and it was a very peaceful haven after the busier cities further south. Sara is a very welcoming and accommodating hostess, and she went out of her way to assist us when we had a minor problem. We highly recommend Sara's apartment.
