Quiet stay with an amazing view
The property is located at a quiet smaller hillside town along Lake Como with 2 daily ferries. We were impressed by the cleanness, how roomy the house was, and the unbeatable view of the lake with the mountain backdrop from the balconies. The house had everything needed for our short stay. The local grocery store is a 3-min drive down the mountain and the nearby restaurant served fresh Italian pasta and pizza. The manager uses WhatsApp to communicate and is very responsible once connected. The owner keeps a wine closet with a good selection and fair pricing. If you like the hustle bustle of the cities, then you might try Bellagio or Tremezzie. For us this was the perfect stay where we thoroughly enjoyed the peacefulness and soaked in the view. We would definitely love to return.

Gorgeous Balcony View
Pianello is a small town with a couple of good restaurants and a wonderful bar. A lake ferry stop there as well for exploring other towns in Lake Como. The view for the balcony is fantastic. The kitchen is well required and the beds are comfortable. Communication with Paola was excellent. I highly recommend this place.

A beautiful house in a quiet hamlet.
My wife and I, and another couple from America just finished a wonderful 5 days here. The high points are the million dollar views from the first floor and the master bedroom, the spotless condition of the house, the very complete kitchen with everything you need, and the quiet little historic hamlet of Maggianna where it is located. On the downside, the second large bedroom is in the attic (3rd floor) with only 2 very small windows, and it gets very hot in the summer. This room is the only one with an air conditioner, but it is a portable internal unit that is very loud…probably too loud for most people to sleep with on. And the location, while having an amazing view of the lake, is a 15-20 minute walk up a quite steep stone walkway from the lakefront town of Calozzo, where there is a store, bakery and a couple of restaurants. For some people this might require driving down the winding road to town. Also be aware that the passenger ferry service only stops here a couple times a day, so a car is required if you want to visit other parts of the lake Overall, we had a very positive experience here, and Paola the host is very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay in this beautiful house again if we return to this area.

Amazing stay near Como lake
We had a great stay at Milena's place. We booked it at the very last minute, but the host (Paola) immediately reached out to us and made sure everything was in order when we arrived. The house is nicely located in a calm, non-touristic part of the village, it's spacious and well-equipped, and the view on the lake was absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay here again in the future.

Wow. The view from the balcony is really as they show on the photos. Absolutely breathtaking view to the lake and the mountains beyond. Really, cannot find anything bad to say. Rooms are large and clean. Beds are comfortable. Showers are very modern with hot water for everyone. Kitchen is modern and well equipped. Paola responded quickly to all the questions and was very helpful. As description shows, the house is above the village on the slope. So you will most likely need a car to get around. Although it is possible to walk down the stairs to the village in some 5 mins as well. Would definitely recommend this place.

Great property in an amazing lotion!
We have had a great time on holiday at Lake Como, made all the more enjoyable by staying in such a great property in a stunning location! The house is spacious a light and easily accommodated our family of 5. Paola, the local contact person, was wonderful! She is very kind and helpful. If there's one thing that we were a little bit disappointed about it's that the property listing says there is air conditioning, which we assumed meant units in every room. This was our first sty in Italy so we didn't know that this would be unusual for Italy. However, there is a great air conditioning unit on the top floor, and a plug in unit was available in the main bedroom. we asked for an additional fan for the other bedroom which Paola soon delivered. We thoroughly recommend staying here!

The property was beautiful and very well finished but with some essential things missing.
We arrived at a time arranged by us, earlier than usual and Paulo was very accommodating. She explained everything to us quickly. She was available if we needed advice by phone as the family were away.We enjoyed great outings . We had two keys of the front door (no back door or exit),and on one particular morning we could not get out of the house ,the key just wouldn't turn. We tried to contact both the contact person and owner and failed and eventually after some time the owner did ring us. I sent a text saying I had an emergency. The lower windows had bars on them and which meant there was no escape from the house and in the event of a fire or other emergency it would be a disaster. This needs to be addressed , another exit is necessary. There is a need for a book containing emergency phone numbers like doctor , Hospital , taxi , Church Service etc and also notes on equipment in the house . The house was well equipped with great cooking facilities and lots of ware and containers for picnic. A suggestion would be to bring iron board and iron down stairs. With the roughness of the pathway to the house an extra light at night up further from the house would help . One has to experience this especially for older people. The overall experience was very positive as it is a quiet area with great beauty. The owners were very helpful as were their family after our dilemma. As the weather got cold during our time there was a great stove in the house and we had lots of wood to burn . All of this added to our experience. I would return here if these items were attended to as all my comments are constructive and I do realise all the effort this family is gone to. Safety is paramount to me and door locks can get stuck like ours did, but when its in a remote area it is all the more stressful or if it was the morning we were going home at 5am for an early flight. Anything I have said here I have said to the owner. Paola our contact person was excellent and listened too to us and rang and checked in with us. We enjoyed a wonderful time in Pianello De Lario area and it is a very good place to locate in. Our whole experience was positive and I wish Mauro and Milena every blessing and their family as they came to see us on the last night of our stay and they want the best for their guests. Also when Paulo came to check before we left she too was very helpful and we will return soon to Italy . All my party have lots of good memories of this lovely property.

My family, friends and I loved staying here. The apartment was as described, with a beautiful view of Lake Como. The accommodations were spacious and clean. Parking was plentiful and it also was easy to walk to town and the small beach. The property manager was extremely responsive and helpful, especially when the electricity went out following a major thunderstorm. We would definitely stay here again.

Schönes Haus mit einer Traum Aussicht.
Wir hatten als Familie spontan dieses Haus Anfang April gebucht und hatten eine sehr schöne Woche gehabt. Das Haus ist wirklich schön und sauber, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Besonders Toll ist der Ausblick von der Terrasse auf den See runter . Alles nötige war da. In der Ortschaft gibt's es einen kleinen Laden für das nötigste, großer Supermarkt in 4km. Vielleicht werden wir irgendwann wiederkommen. Vielen Dank an Paola für den netten Empfang und sonst einen sehr netten Kontakt.

Liebevoll gepflegtes Ferienhaus mit traumhafter Aussicht
Wir haben ein wunderbare Woche in Pianello verbracht. Das Ferienhaus ist liebevoll gepflegt und top ausgestattet, es fehlt wirklich an nichts. Um alles Organisatorische hat sich Paola bestens gekümmert, die Absprachen zu An- und Abreise liefen reibungslos. Auch mit den Besitzern Milena und Mauro hatten wir einen sehr netten Kontakt. Der Blick von der großen Terrasse über den Comer See ist wirklich atemberaubend, wir haben jedes Frühstück und jedes Abendessen dort genossen. Auch der Ort Pianello del Lario war uns sehr sympathisch, eher ruhig und ursprünglich, nicht touristisch überlaufen, trotzdem mit schönen kleinen Stränden und sogar einem kleinen Supermarkt in Fußreichweite. Danke für alles!
