We chose this as our base for a first ever short (3 Day) trip to Como. This was squeezed between 2 days in Milan on either side of the visit to Como - a week in total. My reason for selecting this venue was that it had a small pool & sun deck which I thought I might use to relax between 2 busy days in Milan. As it turned out I did not spend very much time at the pool as there was so much to see and enjoy in Como itself. There is a number of noteworthy features to this venue, which is at pains to point out that it is not an hotel. The property is beautiful and located in a quiet part of Como. The limited services provided are well delivered. Booking in was efficient and the proprietors have a welcoming and informative guide book and very useful hints on places of interest and restaurant tips. The suites are fairly basic but are large and provide all of the items you would need for a short stay. Our suite had a small but attractive balcony which caught the sun most of the day. The pool was neat and tidy and well looked after but caught the sun only up until early afternoon due to it’s proximity to the surrounding private houses. In fairness this may have been partly due to the time of year. To counter the fact that there is not always staff on the premises, guests are given 3 keys - 2 of which open the external entry gate and the normal entrance door - the third key is for your suite. The staff encourage you to pre-select your breakfast preferences by completing your requests (on their breakfast menu) before 7 pm the night before. When you sit down for breakfast the staff recognise your specific breakfast choice from your key fob! We are not big eaters in the morning however I imagine some guests might find the breakfast fare a bit ‘modest’ if they were hearty breakfast types! It is important to comment on location. We were well aware from previous reviews that the Suites were a bit away from the main drag and that there were steps to negotiate going and returning from Como itself. It is a decent walk from the Suites into Como itself and the steps were steep and would definitely not suit people with walking difficulties.
