About this house rental
A newly built detached house situated on the hillside above Pianello del Lario in a very tranquil location.
The house is arranged over two floors - there is an open plan living room, kitchen & dining area and a master bedroom & balcony with gorgeous views of the lake, plus an en-suite bathroom. There is also a downstairs cloakroom toilet. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms; 3 with double beds and the fourth one has a large single bed suitable for one adult or 2 children. There is also a bathroom upstairs fitted with a large shower.
There are 2 bathrooms:
Bathrooms 1: this ensuite bathroom features a bathtub with shower and WC.
Bathroom 2: the bathroom features a shower, a bidet and a WC.
Extra: There is another bathroom with only a WC.
The interior has been furnished in a very comfortable & contemporary style. The kitchen is fully-fitted with an oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, coffee machine, electric kettle & toaster. In the lounge area, the entertainment includes a Wide Flat screen TV. There is also a lovely stone built fireplace which you can use. Enjoy a real log fire in the stunning wooded hills above Lake Como.
All of the bedrooms enjoy the magnificent views of the central lake area and the Alps to the north.
Outside, there is a large open terrace with a unique, stone dining table from where you can all enjoy Italian \'al fresco\' dining.
There is a spacious parking space fronting the house available for the guests.
The property has no heating.
Pianello del Lario is a charming little village on lake Como at 46km from town Como on the north-western shore. It has a long-sandy-gravel beach called Laguna Beach. In Pianello village, every amenity is at your disposal - a local bakery, supermarket, cafes and restaurants provide a true taste of the relaxed Italian lifestyle while for the adventurous amongst you, there is hiking, water sports, golf and skiing, all easily accessible in the surrounding areas.
Whether your holiday plans are for simply relaxing or reading a book with a cappuccino on the terrace; perhaps walking in the Italian Alps with all that fresh alpine air; alternatively, you\'re adventure plans may see you windsurfing, boating or fishing on this truly spectacular lake and then of course, there is skiing at the world famous St. Moritz or at Madesimo, a charming ski resort just 60km away (1hr 15 mins) - then Villa Rustico is the place for you. Please note that the pool is open from the 1st of June 2024 to the 30th of September 2024

Long weekend, two families with 4 children between 2-7.
Pros
Beautiful views
Peaceful location
Decent size bedrooms
Cons
Pool wasnt cleaned upon checkin
Fridge had been switched off, not cold for food and drinks
Property in generally a poor state - think we were the first in there in a while
Oven kept tripping the power, so we couldnt use it
Wifi code was wrong and took a few calls to get it working
No chopping board for food preparation and generally poorly kitchen
Cold tap not working in bathtub downstairs, nearly scalded a child
If you arent fussy about the quality of furnishings or kitchen stuff, and generally tired state of the property, then for the price, this is an OK stay. I wouldn't come again with a family. Might be OK for walkers due to trail access.

I had also communicated that the wireless internet did not worked all week and we incurred $300 in data charges on our cell phones accordingly. No one ever responded despite my emails and posting on VRBO.
- there were several rubbish items in the lawn when we arrived including empty water bottles, broken pool toys, etc.
- only one of the seven outside lights seem to work.
- lots of bugs (dead and alive) when we arrived in the unit. The walls had markings where other bugs had been killed.
- the front terrace door was wide open when we arrived and made us very uncomfortable that the house was not secure when we arrived.
- the driving instructions missed several key steps to get here. Also, the longitude and latitude coordinates were not correct. The only way we were able to finally reach the property was through contacting your team member and him s ending me an apple map / GPS route. We incurred $270 additional transportation charges.
- the pictures of the furniture and outdoors is dated - none of the outdoor furniture shown was actually on property.
- we asked no less than five times where to put garbage. Only once did we get a response and they said it was on the street. It was clear the person responding had either never been to the property or not in a long time because there were no bins.
We stayed in 4 VRBO properties while in Italy and this one stood out with poor service and upkeep.

Katastrof med tanke på kostnaden/dygn
Så dålig service, städningen var så dåligt utförd. Solstolar var slitna & skitiga! Poolen var inte ren, damm ovanför köksfläkt. Nej nej....

Erwartung versus Tatsache
Die Erwartungen unsererseits waren bei dem Preis dieses Domizils recht hoch. Leider wurden diese nicht erfüllt. Durch geschickt dargestellte Fotografien erschien manches anders als tatsächlich. Von der Sauberkeit waren wir enttäuscht und das bei der hohen Berechnung der Reinigungskosten. Ebenso wurden defekte Gegenstände nicht ausgetauscht und das bei einer weiteren Berechnung von Schäden, egal ob sie entstanden oder nicht. Ebenso wird in ihrer Beschreibung mit einem Parkplatz am Haus geworben ohne zu erwähnen dass erst 54 Stufen zu überwinden sind.
Wir würden hier nicht mehr buchen

The property was amazing! We got severely, severely lost trying to find the place, but that was because we were relying on google maps but didn’t have the right address for google maps, when we should have just followed the instructions you left us, so that was our own fault. Regarding activites etc., we went to Villa d’Este, and a few other restaurants but I can’t remember their names. Overall we had a fantastic time though, many thanks for everything!

es hat alles wunderbar geklappt, und wir hatten 4 wunderschöne Tage am Comer See.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der tollen Unterkunft: genug Platz für alle, eine super Aussicht auf den See und die schneebedeckten Berge bei strahlendem Sonnenschein und viele Möglichkeiten ums Haus herum ein sonniges Plätzchen zu finden. Auch unser 2 Jahre alter Enkel war richtig im Glück, direkt neben dem Haus konnte er auf der großen Terrasse und im angrenzenden Wald spielen.
Mit ihrer Betreuung waren wir sehr zufrieden, alle unsere Fragen wurden im Vorfeld schnell beantwortet.
Gerne kommen wir mal wieder!

All details around our staying in this property was arranged flawlessly - it was easy to pick up the keys and to drop them upon our departure. It was relatively easy to find the villa too. The conditions in the villa were fine - heating and etc. We want to thank you once again for your assistance concerning cleaning of the road form the heavy snow.

Our stay at Villa Aquila was a definite highlight of our trip through Europe. The entire staff communicated very well with us and made the entire process very easy. The Villa was beautiful and in a very quiet location, our only wish was that we had more time to spend there.
Thank You for the wonderful stay and we hope to have pictures to send soon. You can use my comments for your website if you wish.

Your pre-pack information available online is great. Directions are really really clear - this is very comforting when driving in an unknown car on unknown roads - Property is in a stunning location - no doubt about it. And the pictures online maximise that. For me it was a little too remote since I would have preferred somewhere to walk to in the evening rather than driving everwhere..so more explanation on the website would be good. Property itself is nicely done, to a point. The bedrooms are all a good size but a little poorly equipped with the double downstairs lacking any wardrobe space and relying on a vigilent mop up after every shower..a little too much style over practicality I think..! The kitchen is small for the number of people - the welcome meeting is OK.
Certainly if you can get a word in with Daniello then he is a font of knowledge. And I liked the weekly calendar to indicate what you could do on each day. Just cut it down a bit - people just want the headlines and are there with fidgety children. A drink would have been very welcome at the start too - just makes the whole thing a little "warmer" and less functional.
All in all, lovely spot. We loved Bellagio - Villa Carlotta - just incredible - the most amazing gardens and enjoyed by ALL ages - Varenna mon amour restaurant (new - very nice) - The Lido in Menaggio - we lived there - very clean, fab pool and easy to jump into the lake as well and pretty good food from the cafe there as well. - Menaggio - great for hanging out - coffee, beers and ice cream - bit mixed for eating - Ristorante La Baia in Cremia - great for those staying up where we were.
