The accomodation was exactly as described and communications from Rosie were perfect. Despite arriving late she explained all that we needed to know. The shutters and air conditioning were a necessity given the heat wave. The view is fantastic and sitting on balcony a real treat. Definitely need a car and the local roads can be interesting.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you Andrew and family...I am glad your enjoyed your stay. Rosie.

my husband, a longtime friend and i spent a memorable week in the colonno apartment and found it to be everything as described. we drove from milano to colonno and had no problems finding the flat as rosie's directions were detailed and really helped us as it got dark while we were driving. we had such a good time and julia, rosie's neighbor, was so helpful with instructions to the grocery, where to eat with the Italians and anything else we needed. thank goodness she mentioned Downton Abbey as we are great fans and were able to watch it on the english channels. the views of the lake were spectacular and we were treated to seeing the Alps turn white with their first snowfall! the beds were super comfortable and we found everything to be clean and tidy. thank you for the coffee maker as we used it every day. it was late october when we visited and although the weather was a bit nippy, we were always warm and comfortable in the apartment. we would all return if time allows us too. we enjoyed menaggio and shopping there and in bellagio. as we had a car, we drove to lugano one day and also did some sightseeing on our own in como. the drive to milano was less than an hour, but getting around the construction in the city left us breathless several times. we did manage a parking garage close to the Galleria and El Duomo and had a wonderful dinner at Biffi's in the Galleria. like i said we had great time and you will too if you decide to visit.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

My husband and I were attracted to this apartment because of the views pictured on the website, as well as its location. We decided to "splurge" and it was well worth it. It was even more impressive when we arrived--gorgeous views from every room in a spacious, very well-appointed new apartment. We spent a lovely week there, and at the end of our time wished we could stay for another week. Rosie was very friendly and helpful with information about local resources. We've given glowing reviews to all our friends and highly recommend this apartment to anyone who shares our love of great views and creature comforts.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you David, I am so glad your enjoyed your stay.

My husband and 21 year old daughter stayed in this apartment for 1 week the beginning of August. This was our first time renting a vacation apartment and we were all a little nervous about what we would find. I must say we were all VERY pleased! The apartment was very clean, very well stocked with everything thay you would need during your stay. It was like stepping into your own home again, very comfy and just overall had a good feeling. Neighbors were very nice and friendly. Rosemary was there on arrival and upon departure which was great, she showed us around and gave us a few tips about the area. Overall, I rate this apartment a "5" for its location, cleanliness and homey feeling. Our vacation could not have been better! We definitely plan to return someday.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you Kurt & Family. for your kind review and I am really pleased you enjoyed your stay. See you again sometime! best regards Rosie.

Our stay in your lovely apartment counldn't have been better! It was exactly as represented in photos and description. The kitchen was exceptional and we had everything we needed -- maybe the addition of a coffee grinder would be nice. We were able to tour the area readily with easy access to the ferry -- don't miss the hike up to the castle in Varonna. The view from the top is incredible. We were quite comfortable even in the several rainy days, one of which we drove into Milan. We are hoping to return for another stay to experience the lovely views. Thanks so much Rosie!Recommended for: Age 55+.
Owner response: Thank you Ken for your kind review...I will have that coffee grinder ready for your next visit. Best Wishes Rosie.

Lovely apartment with great amenities and view. The garage was a special bonus, as was the close location to the Argegno ferry stop. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the evenings on the terrace and view of the lake during dinner. Excellent location for day trips to Bellagio, Menaggio, Cernobbio and Como. We drove into Milan on the weekend for the day with no difficulty. Apartment was new, user friendly and has access to washer/dryer. A wonderful vacation spot, perfect for one or two couples! Thanks, Nancy McCormackRecommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, romantic getaway.
