Nice space, enough room, beds a little bit small, bit doable. The host was very friendly and helpful, I had a problem with a tyre that was slowly deflating and was able to use Giovanni's compressor. We also went for a ride in his convertible vintage VW beetle to Varenna and back. Truly a very attentive host, in the evening he also presented a very tasty 3-course menu accompanied by a home-made limoncello. Absolutely highly recommended! Will return when again in the neighborhood and available!

Pretty steap, a challenge when you forgot something in the room, probably good excercise though

Giovanni was a wonderful host and very attentive to all guests. We appreciated being met on arrival and getting a lift to the station on leaving, we loved the spin in his vintage beetle and his two home-cooked meals were excellent- ottima qualità! The apartment was great and the views from the balcony are wonderful, you will not want to leave.

the property is located a stone throw from the lake and has beautiful views of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. it is surrounded by beautiful gardens which are perfect for chilled afternoon enjoying the views

nothing, it doesn’t get much better than that…

The location is superb, you are able to walk into Bellano in 5 minutes, there is very easy access to both the ferry boats & the train station. After a day out and about on the boats in busier neighbouring towns e.g. Varenna, Bellagio, Como etc.. (all very beautiful) it was so lovely to return to Bellano, which is quieter, and to get off the boat and just go 'ahhhhh' peace, serenity, much quieter, of course there are still locals & tourists about, with some very nice places to eat and drink, just without all the queues, hustle, bustle & hordes .........we loved 'coming home' to a welcoming, more peaceful Bellano !! From the apartment, the views of Lake Como are out of this world, the views from the upstairs bedroom terrace are absolutely beautiful, really stunning with amazing sunsets over the mountains & Lake Como. We had a fantastic experience being driven to Varenna in Giovanni (the owner's) 1975 VW Cabriolet aka "The Batmobile", this was a real highlight of our stay & the Friday evening BBQ cooked & prepared by Giovanni, who is a wonderful chef & host, the home made Aperol Spritz 'Giovanni style' went down a treat, "Grazie Davvero". N.B. if you have mobility issues it may be a challenge getting to the front door as their are a fair few steps up from the drive.

Just a little thing really: the Rear Patio Terrace is accessed externally up a series of steps, it is a lovely spot and is a great place for morning tea / coffee / brunch as it gets the mid morning & early afternoon sun, we used the patio but just thought it needed some weeding, tidying up & a bigger furniture box for putting all the cushions in to protect them from those Lake Como rain showers !! It is a fantastic spot.

Great location in a beautiful and quiet place! The house is like a museum even better, as you can sleep and make a breakfast/lunch/dinner inside of it and enjoy all the antique accessories, or got outside to the lovely garden. The lake view from the bedroom terrace and bathroom window unforgettable, everything is really perfect! The house good equipped with everything you need! Special thanks to Giovanni for warm welcome.

Easy facilities to make your own food. The location of the apartment is in a cozy city without loosing the touch of Lake Come and easy access to other cities

The property is AMAZING. There are views from pretty much every room in the property as well as four outside balconies/sitting spaces with views! The property is uniquely and beautifully decorated. Every room felt like a work of art. We had not ever stayed in a place so gorgeous. Waking up to the views each morning was a dream. Also the hospitality of Giovanni was outstanding. He picked us up from the train station, made us welcome drinks and snacks, took us in his vintage VW car, and drove us back to the train station at the end of our stay. He also always asked how our days were going, if we needed anything, and gave us lots of recommendations. He was so gracious, kind, and helpful. It was truly a joy to get to know him and see his care and love for the properties. We absolutely cannot wait to come back and stay at this beautiful property and see Giovanni again. Would rate higher than 10 stars if we could!!

Castle Suite 1 - a home away from home – a place where Lake Como dreams become reality. As soon as your feet step onto the property, you instantly create memories of a lifetime. You’ll be treated to stunning panoramic views, a house that’s elegantly decorated with original paintings, wood floors, marble floors, marble bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, and 4 terraces. You can’t help but be entranced with the romance of Como. But by far- the best part of our trip was meeting the owner, Giovanni. Giovanni instantly makes you feel like family. He loves to host and greets you with a light snack and THE BEST APEROL SPRITZ (ever). He warmly shows you around the garden/herb garden, terraces, and house. We quickly bonded over cooking and if you are lucky enough to be there on a weekend, you are in for a treat!! He may prepare a classic Italian dinner (spices from the garden and all)! We cooked two of the nights, and Giovanni provided us with his homemade rub (with herbs from the garden) for our steaks. WOW. Grab a book and venture into the gardens or outdoor living terrace. You will be surrounded by flowers, lemon trees, evergreen trees, Japanese maples, and butterflies. You can also eat dinner on the outdoor living terrace or watch the sunset on your own private terrace with panoramic views. Just across the street is a beach to go swimming and restaurants are a quick 5-minute walk away. Giovanni will personally tailor and advise on your itinerary based on your interests and time of the year. He also helped us make reservations – thank you! We know that we will absolutely go back. Next time, we plan to stay a week or more! (Also so that we can cook with Giovanni). He is the loveliest man. I won’t give away toooooo many surprises – but let’s just say – the drive he took us on was magical, too. Words truly escape us as we are still in awe of our time and only wish we could have stayed more days. Thank you, Giovanni! We will see you again soon to create more memories!
