    Shower a little tight but are tall and managed ok.

    Very clean. Comes with so many extras including free snacks and drinks. Location is perfect as central to everything. Host Ren is very welcoming. Breakfast provided by Ren was 10/10 and could not complain about anything. Bed was very comfortable and there was so much to like about this stay.

    There is no number on the building (is not visible from the street), pay an intention on the singboard!

    Renata is just an amazing hostess! Lovely place! Water, Cola, snacks, tea are for free. Clean and nice decorated room. Tasty breakfast on the terrace. 3 min by walk from the pier. Many thanks !

    Great location, in a wonderful town on lake Como. Great for the ferry port and the train station (or replacement bus currently) The room was clean and tidy, along with a spacious clean bathroom.Very good continental breakfast with lots of choice and a good view of the mountains from the breakfast area. The hosts may not have spoken great English but managed to communicate everything we needed, they were both super friendly, accommodating and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend.

    The staff (a couple who owned the B&B) were so lovely. My partner and I are learning Italian and they were great to practice speaking with, very friendly and helpful. The location is a short walk from the lake and places to eat. Also close to the starting point of some good hikes/walks.

    We had a wonderful experience staying at Renata’s place. She was incredibly welcoming, and the house is in a fantastic location. The room had everything we needed, and there was even a toothbrush - a thoughtful touch that was especially helpful for someone like me who always forgets to pack one. We especially enjoyed a delicious breakfast on the terrace. We would highly recommend staying here and would happily return in the future.

    Renata and Antonio are very hospitable and helpful hosts. Wonderful breakfasts in the garden with a view of the mountains and lake. Comfortable bedroom with air conditioning and fridge. Great location 5 mins walk to ferries and just a little further to centre of town. A great place to stay!

    Location could not have been better. With the train not in operation, the bus stop was at our front door. Perfect if you are pulling luggage. Host was very friendly. Served us breakfast early because we had a scheduled boat ride early in the morning. She was lovely

    My cousin and I stayed here and highly recommend it! The hosts made us feel extremely welcome and were very helpful even before arrival. There was a train strike scheduled for our day of arrival so we were a bit concerned about how we would get there from Milan but the hosts gave us lots of information and alternative transport methods. The breakfast setup was lovely and we were sad to leave! Grazie mille Renata e Antonio

    Wifi very slow and gets interrupted. the host usually has to reboot the router. automatic light sensor in the bathroom annoying. one window overlooking the street, I had to keep it closed. hosts don't speak English, but are nice. the train was not in service (from mid June till September) and we had to use the bus to commute to Lecco

    great location to visit the area. very close to the lake. very close to the ferry. good restaurants nearby. good breakfast. nice hosts. there was air conditioning.

    The room is in the ground floor so not much view of the lake, but still the neighborhood is very pretty.

    The room is clean and the location is very easy to reach from the train station. The hosts are very accommodating and the breakfast was also a nice addition to our stay.
