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.

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!!

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!

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.

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!

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.

First visit to Lake Como
Sue and Martin are great hosts and made sure we knew how to get keys etc. The apartment has beautiful views and well equipped. The only thing that keeps it from all 5’s is location. I think it is easier if you have a car. There are no taxis that we ever saw in Dorio. It is a difficult climb up to the apartment when hauling bags. We are good hikers and once we knew shortcuts to town and train, it was easier. We had a couple of rainy days, so we were hrateful we had such a nice place to enjoy when out of the rain. Thank you Sue and Martin!

Comfortable home with great views.
We found this a great place to relax, especially sitting on the deck overlooking Lake Como in all its different personalities from hour to hour and day to day. The kitchen is well equipped and the leather couches comfortable. Although Sue and Martin live far from their condo, they responded promptly to requests for assistance. We discovered the one-hour hike from the condo up the mountain only late in our stay: it was exhilarating and afforded stunning views of the lake. The bakery lady in Dorio was friendly and helpful. Our two favorite restaurants in the vicinity were the castle restaurant in Corenno Plinio and Il Crottini. The local fare and service were truly memorable. Our stay was delightful and we would highly commend this place to others.

Breathtaking view, wonderful location, excellent hosts!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Dorio, on beautiful Lake Como. We will definitely visit again. The view from the apartment is spectacular. This cannot be over-stated. You really must see it. The apartment itself is lovely - well-equipped, clean, and in excellent condition. Our host, Sue, was second to none with her communication, assistance, and attention to detail. We couldn't have dreamed of a better host. We are so very grateful for our time at the apartment and exploring the surrounding area. There is a huge variety of things to do, including all imaginable activities on the lake, exploring beautiful towns and villages the area has to offer, and even a day trip into Switzerland to explore St. Moritz. You will not regret choosing Lake Como for your vacation. You will definitely be glad you stayed in this beautiful apartment over-looking the lake!

Beautiful, Peaceful, Comfortable, Perfect.
We were so very happy to have the chance to stay at the lovely BellaDoria Villa. It was a welcome change in pace in the midst of a tour across Europe. The beds were very comfortable--great linens, towels, kitchen items (loved the wine glasses)--as were all the furnishings. We sat on the deck for hours watching the lake and loved every minute of it. The condo is located in a quite area, close to hiking trails--which were excellent adventures during the day. Sue was very helpful with everything and the process was very easy. The property was very clean and well maintained, as well as safe. We can not wait to return. We did not have a car and did fine with staying at the villa. You have to be ready to walk, but the place is so pretty it is very pleasant to walk to the station (trains leave every hour to nearby towns) and easy. We might bring a car next time to explore the area even more.

Few day stay in Dorio
Whether it was poor research on my part or something else we were all a little surprised at just how small the town of Dorio was upon our arrival. The home was great and provided us what we needed for our stay. Supposedly you can be fined up to 300 euro if you get throwing trash away in the wrong containers wrong which made us very worried and we ended up taking our trash with us when we left ha! The view was incredible and Sue was very attentive to checking in prior to our trip. If you are looking for a quiet getaway with very little access to groceries, restaurants, people, etc. then this is the perfect spot for you. We were not made aware of the Dorio train station until we googled it ourself, which was a HUGE win for us so we could transport between towns. If you are driving then this location is perfect as you can make your way around as you please. If you are taking the train and do not have a car then it may not be the best option unless you are okay with being tied to the train. There is one small restaurant in town, which is over 1/2 a mile down a hill and it had an incredible dinner our last night. Lastly, if you are hoping to use the taxi service to get from place to place be aware that you need to speak Italian or have someone is able to to help you.

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!!!

Tolles Panorama
Wir hatten hier einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt. Super saubere, schöne Wohnung in gutem Zustand. Natürlich ist der gigantische Ausblick vom Balkon auf den See und die Berge besonders hervorzuheben. Das Doppelbett war zu schmal für zwei Personen, je nach Vorlieben zu bewerten. Die Schlafcoach im Wohnzimmer ist eher eine Notlösung, da zu weich und durchgelegen. Wir waren zu 3. und haben 3 Betten benötigt. Das war insgesamt etwas knapp. Die Garageneinfahrt erfordert ein besonderes Geschick, da die Einfahrt sehr schmal ist. Wir haben immer außerhalb geparkt. Das Internet war sehr instabil und mit 5 Mbit/s Download und 0.5 Mbit Upload auch nicht besonders schnell. Ansonsten ist alles so wie beschrieben. Vielen Dank

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.
