I will start by saying this was my favorite apartment in our 1 month visit in Italy. We very much enjoyed all the locations but Lake Como and Bellagio are absolutely stunning. And, to make the stay so wonderful was our host, Renato, who picked us up at the Ferry. Now, we don't speak Italian and his English was minimal so the communication was an adventure...but hand gestures (the good kind) always seem to work. At his apartment, his upstairs neighbor, Julianna, who does speak English helped to translate and explain the features of the apartment. He provided breads, jams, fruit, eggs, and wine for our stay! Okay, so the best part, his wife prepared us a dinner for our first night, which was amazing. We had been traveling all day from Venice so this was so welcome to not worry about dinner (or wine). The meal was absolutely delicious. Still need to contact Renato for the recipe for the meat dish. Another welcome feature was the brightness of the apartment. The living and dining room area have many windows with a lovely view of the mountains. For those who like a bathtub, you got it! It was approximately a 15 minute walk through the neighborhood to Bellagio and the view from the path was gorgeous. While there, we used the ferry system, which was always on time, to travel to the other villages. They were all very pleasant to visit and we were certainly happy with our choice of Bellagio. We would definitely return and I hope to be able to bring my family for the next visit. Renato took us to the ferry when we departed and we received a nice memento from him. Thank you Renato!!!
