Villa Alma B&B Lake Como

The property is not easily accessible by motorbike having just navigated some of the most hair raising hairpin bends on the way to the town to then be faced with a rough, gravel & wood, steep, bending path to park up next to the house! Thank goodness there was no charge for parking! Once settled, I can’t thank Max enough for the warm welcome (and cold beer!) and the hospitality shown to me. The views were amazing, the breakfast, taken on the top floor dining room, was full of variety and very enjoyable, especially looking out to the mountain views. The bedroom was above average size with a full size, very comfortable bed. I was surprised to find that there was no wardrobe but the vintage furniture was interesting and gave the room character, as did the squeaky floorboards 😁. I was , however, disappointed to find that I was sharing a shower room and toilet with the guests next door, when I understood I had an en suite. Maybe I misread the description. Be aware that the beautiful, modern and very efficient shower room may prove to be a bit of a tight fit for the more portly guest (not my problem!). The shower room/toilet were accessible via a small kitchen unit with a vast selection of coffees and teas to choose from, plus the use of an induction hob and a microwave..There are also two dogs on the premises which may be a problem for some people. An easy ten minute walk down the lane and there was a good choice of bars and restaurants. Overall I enjoyed my stay here.
