Authentic Italian Villa in Lake Como
This beautiful villa is as described. It is located in a non tourist village so brush up on your Italian. A car is needed for sure. The driveway getting into the villa is just as Lino described “not for the weak” walking on the roads is also stressful as you are sharing a narrow road with buses, cars, motorcycles and other pedestrians so you need to be very alert. Inside the villa is very well appointed and Lino left champagne and 2 generous size cold water bottles. The aircon in the bedrooms was great after a day of sight seeing. Now I come to the best part- the VIEWS- they are spectacular and the pictures do not do them justice. The private dock is also a nice touch but it would be nice to have tubes or noodles to float around after jumping in in the apartment. We are a family of 5 and all pretty fit so the walking up the stairs to get to the driveway and up the steep hill is not an issue for us but would not be easy for someone who is not fit. I gave this place 4 stars because the internet never worked in the 5 days we were there unfortunately and we went through our data plans quite quickly . Lino did his best to help trouble shoot it but it never worked for any family member and the WiFi is also unsecured which also wasn’t ideal in this day and age. It also needs to be noted that Lino is 8 hours behind so communication does have a delay but he is extremely responsive once he receives and it was a pleasure dealing with him. And his girlfriend.
