Dani and Giulio are incredible hosts, and make you feel like family as soon as you arrive. They picked us up from Colico (the nearest train station) and even dropped us off for our train home. Giulio’s cooking is fantastic, and Dani uses her expertise as a former tour guide to give you the heads up on any day out you can think of, complete with itinerary and places to eat. The real ‘wow’ factor, however is the view. Absolutely breathtaking, even on a cloudy day. The pictures fail to capture the jaw-dropping scale and beauty of those mountains.
Must do: Borrow the free bikes and cycle to Colico through the nature reserve. Try Giulio’s cooking. Use the hot tub.
Must go: Get the ferry from Domaso, and buy a day ticket to Menaggio (quite small, nice views) Varenna (the pick of the three) and Belaggio (very touristy)
Day trip to Chiavenna. Beautiful Medieval town nestled in the Alps.
We can’t rate this place highly enough!
