We loved everything about this accommodation! The staff were great and very helpful. The hostess was very accommodating asking how everything was and gave us recommendations. The room was well equipped if you wanted to eat in. The outdoor area was lovely and all rooms had a private dining table. But my favourite was having the cats and turtles and dog who were around the place from time to time!

The extra paid breakfast was a little disappointing, the bread was a bit dry and the juice was a cordial. And the extra coffee was filter but there was an pod machine in the room. Would have preferred to pay a little bit more and have a nicer breakfast.

The location is good.

There was an awful smell in the apartment. We were told that previous guests used to cook something with spices and garlic and there is nothing that can be done. So we had to keep the windows opened despite the cold and rain. It was really horrible and very annoying:((

Beautiful room and grounds with everything I could need. Lots of space and separate areas and a large table

It was a bit of a walk up a steep hill but I knew that as the price was very reasonable.

location is nicely up away from the busy Main Street though still very accessible by foot. Close to a nice pizza restaurant/bar and a little market.

Walls are a little thin so if you are a very light sleeper it may be tough but if that doesn’t bother you there are no negatives!

Beautiful mountain view and great size of the room!

A very Italian style quaint home. The family is very welcoming and nice they are so helpful and allowing to use the facilities like picking the fruits. Great location, a walk away from the fairy to bellagio and to a near quaint pizzeria.

The only problem is, that there is no breakfast included which kind of contradicts the name (B&B).

The landlady was friendly and helpful

The location is not the most convenient

Casa Pini is well located in Griante, up a steep hill from Cadennabia (be prepared to walk up hills if you're not driving everywhere!). Michela, the host and owner, was friendly enough (as is her very characterful father). The property is an old house up on the hill, and the rooms are accordingly nice but dated. There's a pleasant garden you can chill in if you want to, and Michela has lots of lovely pets (including a turtle!) that roam around the property. All in all, it's a decent cheap (relative to other places in the locality and Lake Como region altogether), to use as a base for exploring. Note it is NOT a hotel that provides any luxury so don't book this is that's what you are looking for.

Three things: 1. Although we never mentioned it to Michela, given we were only there 3 or 4 nights, our bed was broken and very, very squeaky. This needs to be replaced, and I'm sure she would have had we mentioned it to her. 2. It's obviously really hot there over the summer, so be warned the rooms have no air-con. Don't book if you need this. The fan provided did very little. 3. The room we had contained a sweet little kitchenette however, although lots of kitchen utensils had been provided, it would have been helpful to also provide a few basics such as tea bags (there is a coffee machine with pods I think), salt, pepper, maybe sugar, that sort of thing.
