VECCHIO BORGO

Condition of residence much better in photos. No hand soap or hand towels. Only 2 bath towels for 2 people. Only soap in unit was dish soap. Changed check-in time from 1600 to 1700 which was not convenient. Could have used better instructions to access parking garage off main road and then provide walking directions to unit. With a little more TLC this place could be outstanding. In its current state I would not stay again. One pillow had no case and was stained. Beds rickety and thin memory foam mattress on slatted wood frame. On the plus side it does have a rustic charm. Our booking was not a good value.

der checkin und die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter waren einfach und total problemlos. Die Beschreibung des Ferienhauses hat auch mit der wirklichen Ausstattung übereingestimmt. Allerdings gab es ein paar kleinigkeiten, die ich gerne vorher gewusst hätte. Das Haus liegt mitten in einer kleinen Gasse und in Torno gibt es so gut wie keine Parkmöglichkeiten. die Garage war deshalb echt super, ist aber ca. 500 m vom Haus entfernt. das sehr hellhörig Haus ist eingebaut zwischen mehren anderen Häusern und man ist mittendrin im italienischen Leben, man hört die türen vom nachbarn nachts quietschen, die Mama mit den teenies schimpfen, die Musik auf der anderen Seite usw., alles nicht schlimm, aber ich hatte es anderes erwartet. Das Thema Terrasse und seeblick wurden schon öfters erwähnt, die kleine Terrasse ist okay und man kann ein bisschen auf das Wasser schauen.

The house is a charming Italian villa with a beautiful view of the lake and mountains from the back patio. Communication was especially difficult and i didnt have information i needed to plan my trip. Navigation to the house was difficult for someone not familiar with the area and the "directions" given when asked for were brief and non descript. The directions given were also extremely more difficult than the way we discovered for ourselves afterwards...we had to push our luggage uphill on a very narrow, curvy hill when we could have used the streets and stayed off the road. It also appeared that there was a bus stop at the top of the hill that we coukd have been let off at to avoid all of that. But, it was beautiful and we walked down to the water for dinner.

With my adult kids we spent 3 days and two nights at Giuseppes house. Its tricky to find but worth it. Great views from the patio and some of the windows to the lake. Nice pizzeria near by as well as a cute cafe for coffees, pastry and gelato. We had a great time amd Giuseppe was a great host and very communicative and responsive. The lake was beautiful.

Centrally located on Lake Como closest to the town of Comi, it was walking distance to a nice little village. Unfortunately, walking to that village didn’t seem that safe. It was very hot and the unit is not air-conditioned. The fans were NOT adequate. It was sticky and uncomfortable. The owner said there was a Cross-breeze, but there Wasn’t. The grape vines on the back patio were cool. Yes, you could see the lake from the master bedroom, .that was it. There was no breeze coming off the lake. It was like a sauna in there. There was no soap and the bathtub and shower setup was tricky to navigate. I overpaid the city tax and the owner owed me 20 euro back but claimed it would cost him twice that to put it in the mail, which was a flat out lie. Due to his lack of communication And misrepresentation of his property And his lack of integrity, I would not rent here again. It’s not the money, it’s the principle.
