We were so happy here for 3 months in this cozy ground floor apartment. It is simply furnished with everything you need. In warm weather, we ate on the terrace with a great view of Lake Como. Wifi is spotty. The landlords and their dog are so wonderful.
Everything you do requires walking either up or down the cobblestoned, narrow street. The bus stop is a 15 minute walk—it is 45 minutes to Como. The ferry stop is a 30 minute walk which goes to numerous towns on Lake Como. There is a tiny grocery store and 3 restaurants within a 20-30 minute walk (one is a butcher shop as well). We did “big” grocery shopping when we went to Como.
Walking along the Via Verde trail from Maltrosio to Laglio is accessible with a five minute walk. If you do not need luxury, fast food or lots of services at your fingertips, this apartment is a great choice. There IS a parking spot though we made do with bus and ferry service. With trains to Switzerland and other parts of Italy for side trips.
