The view from the terrace was the only positive element

"Very nice and quiet, but also a LOT of walking to/from town."

8.0

Pro: This place is quiet and tranquil, far away from the throngs of people taking selfies and tik tok videos at every scenic spot in town. Very nice get away from the crowds. Super cool views and nice patio overlooking the lake.

Con: This place is quiet and tranquil because it is 2 miles south of the main town. No public transportation to it, so if you don’t have a car, it is 2 miles of walking each way to get to town (up steep hills and many steep stairs). And the only stores for supplies (food, coffee, etc.) are in that town 2 miles away. There is at least a restaurant in the area for dinners.

"Girls Italian trip"

6.0

The views were stunning

The location, description on booking.com very misleading. Getting around on foot is difficult due to the steep inclines to the property. Bed uncomfortable, main shower went from warm to cold very quickly

"Far too isolated without transport"

2.0

Two bedroom apartment with enough space.

Without transport it’s awful. A long uphill walk from anywhere, no shops or restaurants anywhere near. The photos make it appear to be lakeside whereas it’s a long way from the lake. We had to stay an unwanted night in Tirano after the Bernini Express because there is no entry after 1900.

"Check in is terrible"

5.0

The check in is a real problem. The person who was supposed to welcome us was not kind. She rushed us to arrive there by asking where we are in every 30 minutes. We were going there by car and got really stressed on the way. The owner told us that check in was between 14 and 19. We initially planned to arrive there around 17 and due to traffic and some accidents we got there around 18. The last hour was terrible with all the messages. We could not even stop to buy some groceries on the road. I was trying to explain to her the situation but she was not understanding. They should certainly figure out a way of self check in.
