From the first moment we stepped into this apartment we fell in love with it. Our first time was 2014 and we've been back several times since at different times of the year. Our last time was December 2016, my boyfriend and I took my parents for a festive treat and we've just re-booked to go back with my teenage sons for Easter. It really makes no difference what the time of year, one thing that remains constant is the outstanding lakeside view which is perfectly showcased through the panoramic floor to ceiling vista from this apartment. Wether from the comfort of the extra large sofa looking towards the snow capped mountains in winter, or from outside lounging on the patio furniture watching the sun rise over the mountain in summer, the views are always a visual feast. The gardens and pool are all on different levels but all offer the same awesome views.
The apartment itself is very comfortable for 4 people with a double and twin room, ample wardrobe space and 2 lovely modern bathrooms. I've cooked in the kitchen quite a few times during our numerous visits as there's a shop next door selling fresh meats and other italian goodies which occasionally makes a welcome alternative to our usual restaurant over-indulgence!
We always rent a car to explore as there's so much the Lake has to offer and so many little villages all offering different things as well as a vast array of different eateries. Unfortunately for our greedy waistlines, it is a foody's paradise! There is everything on offer here from fine dining, simple trattorias, icecream parlours, street food and the free food in every bar at happy hour is unbelievable! Prepare to gain weight if you holiday here!
This apartment is an ideal base for Lake Como! It's even on the right side of the Lake to make the most of the sun all day long if staying home. Every time we go we discover something new. Private boat hire, sea plane, amazing shops, outstanding lakeside walks, magnificent villas (especially Balbianello!), 5 minute ferry to Belaggio of course,I could write forever recommending all my favourite places but that would spoil the surprise!! I can't wait to take my boys at Easter. So in short, WHAT A GEM!! Perfect apartment, perfect location... Exciting lake waiting to be explored! What are you waiting for?
