Stunning View and Good Family Budget Option in Lake Como
The view from the balcony is absolutely incredible and was the highlight of our entire trip. We spent as much time out there as possible. If gets afternoon sun which is nice!!
We fell in love with the little village of Argegno recommend getting coffee & croissants at Il Porto!
The location is nice and close to the small town center. It's a very steep walk down a path and with stairs which was fine for our 5 year and 7 year olds but wouldn't work for anyone with mobility issues.
For kids: a small park right next door!
The communication with the host/owner was good. He has videos and a PDF explaining the arrival process. I recommend looking at and watching this info before you arrive.
The pool is shared (the listing did make me think it was private at first) & there was always one other family there but it was big enough that it didn't feel crowded. The water was very cold and my kids didn't want to swim for too long anyway. The area is a bit run down and there are quite a few bees (my daughter was stung).
A few things I wish I knew:
There is no hand soap or dish soap. If you're driving bring your own or get it at a grocery store along the way. The one market in town is very small with limited hours.
There are 4 bath towels, no pool towels. Would recommend bringing your own if you want a dry towel to shower with after the pool.
Despite all this, for the low price, this place is a gem! We fell in love with lake como here!
