Le rapport qualité prix est mauvais Les studios manquent d’intimité Il n’y a pas d’occultation efficace pour dormir Le repas est pris dans une toute salle alors qu’on aurait pu dîné à l’extérieur pour profiter du panorama. On ne peut pas y accéder en voiture et l’endroit est trop escarpé et trop loin du village mandello del lario pour le visiter à pied ou se baigner dans le lac . Il est très loin de Bellagio

The apartment was nice with a spacious bathroom and a decently equipped kitchen. The AC came in very handy.

Although it's mentioned that it's located above the town and might not be accessible with all cars due to a dirt road , I think a bit more transparency would do them good. Fact is that the aforementioned dirt road is hardly accessible by car at all. Unless one is a seasoned off-road driver, I'd say nobody going on vacation there would manage to navigate this road without getting stuck or damaging their car. This means that you have to leave your car at the edge of town somewhere on the road, which sometimes required some improvisation. Then you either gotta call them to pick you up or you walk about 10 minutes on a tiny, steep trail which is partly overgrown and can be slippery due to loose pebbles on the ground. Doing so when one is not that mobile on foot or maybe with small children or when it's dark, is quite an adventure. Us being a young and relatively fit couple, it didn't pose an issue but it sure surprised us because the description didn't do a good job at setting the expectation which is why I wanted to detail the location here.

perfetto ! everything is good , nice place and hosting , vanessa is so kind , we hope come again. grazie mille :)

Very nice and welcoming staff, options for both breakfast and dinner, amazing views, options for hiking, nice to be able to sit outside of your room and enjoy the lake views

People with small kids should think twice before booking as it is not the easiest place to get to on foot. A bit more varied breakfast would have been nice. The rooms were not cleaned, bins emptied and towels were changed only upon a request - over 5 nights it would have been acceptable to have at least once a room refreshment.

the location was very beautiful, amazing view of the lake. restaurant had lovely food, they let us try the traditional kitchen.

parking, as car was parked away. if you have an sub you will not be able to park up due to narrow road leading to the actual hotel.

Beautiful place, calm , the restaurant is great with great staff and delicious food😍We loved everything

The host did not consider us at all about canceling the night, We paid full price for two nights and slept only one night. The bed was not comfortable at all The apartment had a scorpion and we have pictures The stove was induction and we could not cook with the utensils we brought with us, we just did not update what type of stove. It was very hot until we slept .. and this after the landlord explicitly said that the rooms were cold and cozy. Just the host lied to us.

We loved the beauty and quietness of being in the mountains and that we could leave straight from our room for a hike. This was the most comfortable apartment with a kitchenette that we stayed it. Everything is brand new and spotless. The bathroom is large and the room was spacious. The hosts are very nice and Vanessa answered immediately on whatsapp in English. It's a little over 20 minutes to drive to Varenna from the parking lot so it's easy to drive over to visit - preferably after the day crowds leave. There is a supermarket in town and of course the Agriturismo has it's own restaurant. Dinner was plentiful (you might want to fast all day to have room!) They even made special vegan dishes for one of us.

This didn't bother us, but I think it's important to know that from the car park it's pretty much an uphill hike - about a 400 meter walk and about 70 m elevation climb along a mule trail. The hosts can pick you up and return you to your car with your luggage through a dirt road. So every time you come back by car you get a bit of a workout. :-) We enjoyed having 300 meters less to climb on our hike. The trail (#15) continues up the the small church, which you can see from the Agriturismo (about a 30 - 40 minute climb) and you can continue after that for another hour to Era. You can hike more to refugios (mountain huts) in the area.
