Maioliche Apartments Griante

Huge modern apartment with A/C in modern building with direct lake views from most apartments. Higher floors have better views. Lower floors sometimes have to be careful with mozzies in summer. Building has lifts to all floors and some apartments include covered, secure parking. There is also a paid public car park just round the corner. Its a short walk to restaurants and cafes along the lake and 15 minute walk to Tremezzo which has more options. The village is very quiet with a nice but steep walk up to St Martins church - about an hour each way with fantastic views over the lake towards Bellagio. This part of the lake is pretty quiet so its a good based to relax and get the boat to other towns, but don't expect lots of nightlife. The restaurants and occasional bars all have a relaxed local feel. Friendly staff.

The views of the lake and Bellagio were spectacular. Parking on premises. The apt was spacious. Very secured building. Also close to the ferry drop off

Location, spacious & cleanliness

Can hear neighbours moving around which kept us awake. Checking process was very stressful. Couldn’t contact the property until the day of check in

The location of the apartment was good. The apartment is spacious and situated in a pleasant area. The garage was also convenient. The building is located within walking distance of the ferry terminal, which offers good connections to nearby villages. The air conditioning worked brilliantly in the 40°C heat and really kept the apartment cold.

Upon arriving at the apartment, we encountered a puddle of water on the floor. The AC unit in one of the bedrooms had leaked water onto the floor. This could not have been a new issue, as the room's door frames were completely rotted, swollen, and worst of all, MOLDY (see pictures)! The bedroom door wouldn't even close. We reported the issue to Sheryl (the apartment agent). We did get a maintenance worker to visit that same evening, but nothing could be done about the situation. The air conditioning unit was turned off. The smell of sewage and mold was so strong that we had to isolate the second bathroom and bedroom behind a connecting door, and we were unable to use them during our entire stay. Additionally, the dishes were dirty upon arrival. We asked for compensation for the inconvenience caused. Sheryl promised the owner would be in touch with us, but even a month later, we haven't heard from them. It is a pity that an otherwise fine apartment has been allowed to fall into this condition. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend a moldy apartment until renovations are done and the owner has paid compensation, because part of the apartment is uninhabitable.
