Gorgeous place with a truly magical view! Everything was super comfortable and welcoming with fantastic communication with Peter. Thank you again!

Wirklich außergewöhnliche Lage und ein unfassbarer Ausblick aus dem Penthouse und aus der Dachterasse. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war überaus freundlich, kompetent und unkompliziert. Der Check-In erfolgte ebenfalls einfach mittels Self-Check-In. Alle Infos dazu wurden im Voraus mitgeteilt. Es gibt einen eigenen und abgeschlossenen Stellplatz für das Fahrzeug. Die Unterkunft war wie beschrieben ausgestattet. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Der Sonnenaufgang über den See aus Sicht der Dachterrasse wird uns noch lange in Erinnerung bleiben.

Peter has renovated a wonderful property, and the communication prior to our stay was exceptional. Nothing was left to chance, and he has obviously taken the time over the years to build up a wealth of information to help you get the most out of your stay. Staying in the Penthouse (the top floor), we woke up every morning to the most wonderful views overlooking Como and the lake. Photos look great online, but you don't quite appreciate it until you get there in person! Every window has a top-class electric shutter, and the feeling of opening them each morning—revealing the most stunning view as the sun rises over Brunate—hasn't quite left us. The property is extremely well-equipped with two king bedrooms and a third living/bedroom space. It easily accommodated the four of us using all three rooms (great for keeping the kids apart!). The two bathrooms—both with showers—are excellent, and there is a cozy, well-equipped kitchen with a hob. The rooftop view is spectacular, and we spent a lot of time up there. You are as high up as possible on that side of the lake! As Peter explains, the property sits right next to a nature reserve; we were even thrilled to be visited by a huge praying mantis one evening! (If you're the type who gets bitten by mosquitoes, bring your bug spray or enjoy the view from inside!). This rooftop area is shared with guests in the studio on the bottom floor, but this was never an issue—we had it to ourselves 95% of the time, and it was lovely saying hello to fellow travelers when they popped up. There is also a second private terrace right outside the living room with a table and furniture. The location is excellent—only a 10-minute scenic drive down into Como. The road up is narrow, but perfectly manageable and you rarely meet other cars. It's also worth noting that while you're in Italy, you are only a 10-minute drive from the Swiss border!

Not a complaint at all, but worth noting for future guests: we stayed during a particularly warm spell (high 30s). While a mountain breeze usually blows up the hillside to keep things cool, it can get warm at night when the air goes still. Like many traditional hillside properties in the area, there is no air conditioning, but Peter has equipped fans in every room (plus lots of cold showers helped!).
