Had a wonderful time . . . , beautiful view of the lake

We had a great time, beautiful views, easy travel to Varenna, Dervio, had a great meal at the restaurant at bottom of hill near the castle, La Taverna del Castello. We speak very little Italian, but were able to make it around just fine.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

Outstanding!

This apartment is a great find! stunning views and large and well equipped. The pictures in the website do not do it justice! We loved just sitting on the terrace, having supper and looking out onto the lake. The host was exceptional in her communication and we found the apartment easily. We had hired a car for our stay, but you could easily stay here without a car. The bus stop is at the bottom of the road - 10 mins walk up/down the hill. The bus would take you all around the lake.Thanks Sue for a great few days.

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!

Stunning view and a well equipped apartment. Dorio railway station handy for travel along the lake, only downside is the walk up the hill to the apartment but the view is worth the effort. You would never get tired of that view in the morning whatever the weather! More than recommended!

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!!

A lovely spot with gorgeous views of Lake Como. In hindsight, I am surprised that some stayed here without a car, as transportation around the lake can be a bit of a challenge. But we found it ideal with our little compact that fit just fine in the cozy garage and easy enough to pop in and out to journey off to the local towns and beyond in our week-long exploration of the area. You certainly are not staying in one of the busy, popular locations when you rent this apartment. But if you like things a bit removed and a bit more peaceful, this is your place.

Beautiful location with all the amenities to make a self catered stay enjoyable and comfortable. Easy access to Milan and St Moritz. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay over Christmas with carols and a band playing downstairs on Christmas Eve. That was lovely and quaint. Shopping centre is really close by and local pizza is fantastic. Very relaxing and peaceful. Sue gave us spot on and precise instructions for everything we needed. Very amenable host. Would definitely return for another visit.

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.
