Casa Pini

We loved everything about this accommodation! The staff were great and very helpful. The hostess was very accommodating asking how everything was and gave us recommendations. The room was well equipped if you wanted to eat in. The outdoor area was lovely and all rooms had a private dining table. But my favourite was having the cats and turtles and dog who were around the place from time to time!

The extra paid breakfast was a little disappointing, the bread was a bit dry and the juice was a cordial. And the extra coffee was filter but there was an pod machine in the room. Would have preferred to pay a little bit more and have a nicer breakfast.

The location is good.

There was an awful smell in the apartment. We were told that previous guests used to cook something with spices and garlic and there is nothing that can be done. So we had to keep the windows opened despite the cold and rain. It was really horrible and very annoying:((

Beautiful bed and breakfast with great service. A little hard to get to as the buses are very busy. There is a convenience store, brilliant pizzeria and very easy access to Bellagio and other ferries. Highly recommend especially if you have a car or are happy to walk.

good service

few more vessels and items should have been available

Of all the villages surrounding the Como Lake, Griante seems like one of the least touristic ones, which was positive for us. The more touristic villages were easily accessible by boat. Our Casa Pini Host gave us a clear written overview with all the boat options. Our B&B was calm. We had a tiny patio where we could hang out in the sunshine with a beautiful view of the mountains and the San Marino church (you can also take a hike to that church, offering you an amazing view of the lake). There were 4 or 5 cats roaming the accommodation. One of them came to say hi from the very first moment we arrived and she was our friend for the entire stay. There was also a cute dog and a couple of turtles. Animal lovers will be charmed by their presence. The host was very kind, helpful and spoke English very well, something that is not always a sure thing in Italy. Our room had a small kitchenette with two pots and a pan, so it worked well for preparing uncomplicated dishes. Around the corner there was a local pizzeria, we went to eat there twice and enjoyed it both times!

At the beginning, we had a little trouble with the internet connection. It was fixed rather quickly for my husband, but my own phone kept having difficulties with connecting. The connection wasn't very strong. To be honest, you don't need a lot of internet when you are in this beautiful landscape. You just want to enjoy the view.

Friendly and helpful host! We liked the pets as well.

Wonderful scenery, clean and huge room, the host was so kind and helpful! Totally recommended
