All was very good! Recommend it highly!:)

There was absolutely nothing we did not like, but be aware there are quite a few stairs to the top floor (about 50). I am 62 and fairly active, so it was not an issue for my friend and I. And we had two x 15kg luggage as well, so make sure you are strong to haul your luggage up the stairs! There is a nice buzz from the cafes around in the evening, but all you had to do was shut the windows at night time to sleep which were very soundproof.

We flew to Milan and then took two trains, one to Milan Centrale and the next to Bellano, the accommodation about a 7 minute walk from the station. The location of the apartment was perfect, each room had an amazing view of the lake (not the bathroom though), with a beautiful back drop of the hills and mountains. All the rooms were nicely appointed. Ferry port just across the road which was very handy. Little deli and bakery a couple of doors down, so we would pick up freshly baked bread daily, along with other bits. A few cafe bars and restaurants all within walking distance. It was the perfect base and nice to come away to a quieter place at the end of the day. You are right on top of the Orrido di Bellano gorge which is worth a visit. Good base for Bellagio, Varenna and Mennagio which we did all by ferry. Trains and ferries ran to time for us. I emailed the host a couple of times and he got back to us very promptly. If I get the opportunity, I would stay there again.

View and location.

Good communication with owner. Fantastic location overlooking the lake and the ferry, clean and comfortable, close to station, ferry and a variety of cafe’s. Traffic usually died down at night, some noise from cafe’s below but it was wonderful being able to observe the vibe that is Italy.

Very well located, communication easy, clean and spacious.

3rd floor but worth climbing for the view!

Amazing location with the best views from all rooms....except for the bathroom! Comfortable, warm and well furnished. So close to our favorite trattoria on the same road (poste) which had really genuine food and local flavour

Nothing. This was perfect in every way.

Its location was amazing opposite the water. Maria was so easy to deal with and the apartment well appointed (even with the little things in the kitchen like paper towel, paper, salt/pepper, sugar and oil) to help make it feel like home. The beds were really comfortable. Bellano is a small town and we walked the hills and took trips to Lecxo on train and ferry down to Como (make sure you book the fast ferry back)

A smart TV that allowed for streaming services would have been nice.

The location was amazing - overlooking the lake from every room, and lots of good food options within 2 minutes walk. Ferry port within 2 mins too. Rooms were also huge which was most welcome.

Everything was great for us, but keep in mind there is no lift/elevator, and you need to walk the stairs to the 2nd florr. Not too bad for Italian standards, but not suitable for disabled people.

The location of the apartment is great. The closest grocery store and restaurant/pizzeria is literary 1 min from the apartment. 1 min to the ferry if you want to enjoy the lake and discover other cities. The view to the lake and mountains is fabulous. 5 min walk to the Orrido di Bellano gorge (very beautiful, highly recommended to visit). The apartment looks renovated and clean. Car parking in 5 min (a few cost-free spots) or paid between 8:00 and 20:00 (as of OCT 2024 1,5€ / hour) at the lake (2-3 min walk). In the later case, it can be paid via the App remotely.

They can do with providing more mugs - there were only 2 mugs available.

The apartment was spacious, modern and very comfortable.and exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect - it had a lake view from all the rooms and is close to the train station and ferry terminal.

The cleanliness the layout of the apartment the location was perfect

It is noisy because of the bar just behind and we had a bad WiFi … but maybe just when we were there.

The apartment is very clean, big and confortable. Really close to the place to take the boat. You can do everything by boat. No cars needed. The owner was very helpful and answer quickly. Beautiful view ! Bed are really confortable

Amazing location and views

As mentioned by others, because of its location, could be too noisy at night to sleep with the windows open. Once closed the noise disappeared. Also the pillows! Need to invest in new pillows as some are almost flat and hard. The shower door was missing so it was impossible not to soak the floor.

Very central, short walk from the railway station (6 min) perfectly situated for the ferry. Very clean and comfortable beds. A nice surprise that there was a washer. Bars and restaurants seconds from the door. Good size master bedroom and not a bad size 2nd, both with king size beds. Both with lake views.

In the main bedroom the bed mattrasses were overused however we have told it to the host already.

The location was more than perfect, apartment was bright, spacious and clean. Bed linen was so nice :)

A microwave would be useful. A heads up that it’s on the third floor and no lift — but wide stairs but no handrail so one need to be a bit fit if you are lugging around large suitcases.

The apartment is in a beautiful location with wonderful unobstructed views. In the event of a train transfer it is a relatively flat walk of about 400metres. The apartment is spacious and lots of light from the lake facing windows. The windows in the sitting room and bedroom are wall to ceiling , double glazed and with external shutters. There are a number of restaurants, cafes and a bar nearby and the supermarket is a 5 minute walk away. Bellano is far less crowded than Varenna or Bellagio with cheaper eating and accommodation and what appear to be more local presence. Ferry access to Varenna , Bellagio and a number of other northern towns is by ferry. The train link was suspended while we were there due to a landslide however when that is operating cheap rail transfers are available along the eastern edge and back to Milan.

Stairs! Stairs. We recommend the apartment - but not if you have a problem with 3 flights of stairs.

Great apartment. Spacious room. Location is fantastic - near Ferry, short walk to train. Restaurants and gelati next to building. Terrific views of Lake Como and dolomites.

No lift , but we knew in advance, and the workout was good after all the food we eat! :)

Brilliant location. The apartment is very clean , bright and well equipped.

As end of Oct it was quite chilly in the apartment. Also would prefer a better quantity sheet that was white rather than patterned as didn’t feel cosy.

It was exceptionally clean and spacious and lovely views of the lake. The sitting room was comfortable and the bath room fantastic.
