This apartment was superb! The place was immaculate and the bed was so comfortable we slept like babies. The terrace had the most amazing views, it was just beautiful. We had a wonderful time here

The only slight negative for us was the small parking garage. It was difficult to negotiate and we scraped the car. However, we did have a big 4x4, a small car would be fine. There is free parking a little further up the road that we ended up using.

The location is a short walk away from a local shop owned by Dino and his wife Dina. There is no dedicated pavement so we had to walk along the road, ducking into doorways when motor vehicles were wizzing by; I am sure the locals are very used to this. We found it fun, as it felt like we were the main characters in an action movie. The local shop sold pretty much everything we needed to cook a great dinner and breakfast, washed down with beautiful wine. Their customer service was exceptional and it was lovely to buy from an authentic family owned business. In an attempt to find the refuse bins on our last morning, we missed the hourly bus to Como town. However, we are so glad this happened, as we went in search of a local restaurant on the Pier, called Momi's. We walked along the winding downward path through the mountains and trees, and stumbled across the owner, Momi, who served us with refreshments, even though his restaurant was not due to reopen the following day, following their seasonal closure closure. He and his 2 cute dogs, drove us strangers, to the train station in Como Town, so we didn't have to wait for another bus. Every local we met in the area was so incredibly friendly. Our stay in the area was a breath of fresh air, a reminder of our connection to both nature and fellow human beings; We can't wait to revisit.

We got a little confused trying to locate the correct apartment entrance, as the building is situated at a corner angle when you arrive, with 2 separate properties to the left and right. Consequently, we climbed up the wrong flight of stairs with all of our bags, only to have to climb back down and repeat for the correct entrance. The balcony seating wasn't very comfortable and the remnant of a used candle that had very much reached the end of its life, should really have been disposed of prior to our arrival. Instructions for disposal of rubbish was confusing; we missed our hourly bus, attempting to find all of the various bins; Locals advised that holiday rental refuse should really be left outside of the apartment for the responsibility of the owners to dispose of, to prevent tourists putting them in the wrong place. However, we this would not prevent us from staying here again.
