Appartamento Helvetia

We really had a wonderful stay at Appartamento Helvetia. The apartment is clean, functional and thoughtfully furnished with all basic amenities, including a washing machine. It is very close to many restaurants, ferry points and bus stations and has a stunning view of the lake and the promenade. We ate at the restaurant Helvetia (below the apartment) on 2 nights and found the food to be absolutely delicious. Our hostess, Ivana was friendly and very helpful too. On the whole, great value for money .... Strongly recommend.

Nothing

Fantastic location the ferry terminal a 2 minute walk and similar for bus services

Nothing excellent property

The view from this apartment at sunrise was exquisite. Many restaurants within 100 metres, very close to the ferry station.

If you are staying in Lake Como you need to have parking included. I had the filter for free parking selected and yet the host informed me that the parking is not free, you need to pay between 9 am - 6pm. OK fine, this is Italy there is nothing free here, but the parking is only for 3 hours max which is not time enough to do anything. But this was consistent throughout all of Lake Como not just Tremezzo. There was supposed to be hiking trails, what a joke. Your hike is on the side of the very narrow road where people consistently drive 50 kms over the 50km limit, so enjoy the hike, taking your life in your hands. There is nothing green at all, just car exhaust. I have 2 children between 7-9 I would be a negligent parent if I even considered this "hike". Of course I never bothered to try the hike as I could see the road from the car and I didnt want us to die on the road.

Spectacular veranda with great views over the water that we sat on any chance we had. Nice bathroom/bedrooms. French doors to the veranda from living room and bedroom.

Street noise very loud but could have worn earplugs. Not enough garbage cans in the apartment. Nothing that would keep me from staying there again though!

Nice location to visit Lake Como, near to the ferry station. Beautiful apartment, GREAT host! Many restaurants around.

Huge apartment for two-bedrooms. Large balcony with an incredible view. Clean. Convenient location. great restaurant downstairs.

You can beat the views!

There was no air conditioning. I didn’t realize that when we booked it, I’m pregnant and that was a little rough but it cooled down a bit they provide fans and we left the doors open to get a breeze. If you don’t need AC then this shouldn’t be a problem!

There was no breakfast included with this rental. Though not expected. However the apartment had everything one would need to make there own meals. The Halvetia Bar is below and serves coffee and breakfast items after 8am. The Halvetia is also a great place for lunch or dinner. Or the Glam Café is 100m from the apartment and also serves a wonderful coffee and croissant. The owners were friendly, generous and helpful. All (pre-check in) email inquires to the hosts were responded to within hours. The shower is ultra modern and provided a lovely experience. The location provides easy access to all transportation. A great local to explore from.

It could use a coffee machine or press for early morning risers.
