Weekend with family
We came here with our four children for a short weekend to experience Lake Como. The apartment is very clean, spacious and has lots of shelves. It was in a super cute town that we enjoyed thoroughly. Very close to neighbors but not too loud. The swimming beach is a very short walk from the rental, we enjoyed walking through the town with our two toddlers. It was great to have such fast and easy access to swimming. The patio is fenced in the front, so we were able to enjoy it with our toddlers running around. Bellagio and other towns were a short drive away. If you come early enough, you can score some parking spots. We didn’t have a problem both days that we were there. We walked the town with a double stroller and it was totally manageable. There’s a secret beach next in San Giovani that we took the small tour train to (right next to the ferry ticketing area). Great spot, with a cafe. Over all we enjoyed our stay, if was a wonderful way to experience the lake life. At night you have a view of the town across the lake all lit up, so beautiful. One downside there is no a/c, which made it difficult to sleep at night. There was one fan that we shared between the two bedrooms. The toddlers needed the shades closed which prevented any airflow and made it very stuffy but the fan helped. This is not a surprise to us, just not something we are used to, but we survived! Another thing to note, you can only run one machine at a time. We ran washer, dishwasher and shower and ended up with no electricity. The problem was resolved quickly and it was not a big deal, just a heads up. Otherwise, everything was organized! There’s a huge binder with all the tourist info. It was a great stay, loved it!
