Guest Reviews

• Annnalisa (9/5): - Accoglienza e disponibilità
• fabio (6/5): - Camere ok che poi sono appartamentini ragazza gentile che mi e venuta a prendere in auto non c'è la facevo Pezzo di strada da fare a piedi non per tutti io che sono grasso fatto fatica poi strada buia di sera ci vuole una pila
• Alessandro (5/5): Male - Accoglienza e semplicita La posizione è scomodissima. L’accessibilità a dir poco impossibile. Non ero stato avvisato prima. Mi sono comunque adattato, essendo motociclista, ritengo di sapere affrontare situazioni similari in sicurezza. Tuttavia, un comune cliente una volta deve essere accompagnato su. Quindi resta sostanzialmente bloccato dentro. Va bene tutto, ma deve essere evidenziato tale aspetto in fase di prenotazione. Inoltre, la prima serata mi hanno comunicato che la cena non era disponibile. Sono dovuto scendere con la Torcia alla mano in un sentiero buoi per raggiungere un locale nella parte bassa e poter cenare. Assurdo. Non tutti lo avrebbero fatto, giustamente
• Jérôme (8/5): Dernier mètres d’accès difficile, mais vaut le détour! - L’accueil, la patronne très sympathique, le cadre tranquille, le restaurant. La situation originale et qui isole de l’agitation! L’accès problématique si l’on tente d’y accéder avec son véhicule surtout en cas de pluie ! C’est pentu glissant et non goudronné mais il a moyen de parquer 200 m plus bas et monter à pied par un petit sentier.
• Louie (1/5): SCAM! Travelers be cautious about the misleading positive review! - NOTHING! Our stay at Agriturismo La Selvaggia was a complete disappointment and I strongly advise future travelers to be cautious about the misleading positive reviews. From the beginning, the experience was unpleasant. Deborah picked us up in her dirty car and drove us up a very dangerous, narrow, winding road barely wide enough for one car. The property itself looked neglected, with weeds everywhere and a deserted, run-down feel. She pointed us to some stairs, saying we could use them to reach our parked car. When we tried, there were no signs or directions at all, and we got completely lost trying to find the way back. The room we were given smelled strongly of mold, the bed was extremely uncomfortable, and we even found bugs inside. This is not what you expect from a so-called farm stay. The outside experience was equally disappointing. There was nothing authentic about farm life here, just a poor setup in bad condition. After seeing all this, we told Deborah we would only stay for one night instead of two. She agreed and promised to refund the second night as long as we didn’t leave a negative review. Unfortunately, she did not honor her word. This shows exactly why so many reviews are positive: they are solicited under false pretenses, not genuine experiences. This was by far the worst accommodation of our trip, unsafe, uncomfortable, and dishonest. Travelers deserve to know the reality before booking.

• RoSvO (7/5): - Prachtige locatie Locatie moeilijk te bereiken. Restaurant was gesloten. Dit wisten we niet en hadden dus geen avondeten. Minimaal 1/2 uur lopen naar stad en ligt op zeer stijle berg. Goed informeren waar je kunt parkeren. Daarna wordt je opgehaald om over een slecht stijl pad naar boven gebracht te worden.
• emanuela (8/5): -
• Guest (6/5): Ei ehkä enää toiste. - Sijainti oli kaunis ja osa henkilökunnasta oli tosi ystävällisiä. Huone oli siisti. Emme tienneet, että omalla autolla ei pääse perille. Henkilökunta haki meidät parkkipaikalta ja matka jatku heidän autolla niin kapeaa ja jyrkkää tietä pitkin, ettei sitä voinut edes tieksi sanoa. Pakko sanoa, että loppumatka hirvitti ja olisi ollut kiva tietää jo varatessa, että oma auto pitää jättää kauaksi hotellista. Osa henkilökunnasta oli ystävällisiä ja puhui tai edes yritti puhua englantia. Saimme ohjeet soittaa heille, kun olemme tietyssä osoitteessa - puhelussa vaan pyydettiin laittamaan sähköpostia, vaikka kerroin että meillä on varaus. Kun jankkasin asiasta, niin sai laittaa myös wa viestin. Lopulta joku tuli hakemaan meidät. Auto oli kauniisti sanottuna parhaat päivänsä nähnyt ja olisi kaivannut siivousta. Aamupala oli suomalaiseen makuun erittäin kevyt, lähes olematon.
• Soeren (9/5): Top Unterkunft mit wunderschönem Ausblick - Die Lage der Unterkunft ist wirklich traumhaft. Man schaut von der Wohnung direkt auf den Lago di Como und direkt neben dem Haus verläuft ein Wanderweg, der einen zu noch schöneren Aussichten führt. Die Wohnung an sich ist liebevoll und modern eingerichtet. Die Besitzerin ist auch sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Ortskern und damit auch der See ist zwar ein gutes Stück weg (ca 35 bis 40 Minuten runter und eine knappe Stunde rauf), aber schön und nicht ganz so touristisch wie andere Orte. Das hauseigene Restaurant und vor allem der Blick von dort sind auch sehr zu empfehlen. Wir haben unsere Zeit in vollen Zügen genossen. Die Kücheneinrichtung könnte etwas üppiger sein (v.a. scharfe Messer), ein paar Haken an der Wand zum Aufhängen von Kleidung wäre super und mir persönlich war die Matratze zu hart.
• Tong (1/5): -
• Caitlin (9/5): -
• Celine (9/5): - Le cadre magnifique, le resto super agréable avec des mets locaux. La qualité et le professionnalisme du personnel
• allagar (10/5): - Очень красивое место над озером в окружении сказочных гор! Удобный номер,мебель на улице и частный бассейн! Невозможно доехать до места на своей машине
• Rory (10/5): A truly remarkable experience, warm hospitality, exceptional food & wine. - The location is so beautiful, the rooms are very comfortable but restaurant is simply amazing. The food was exceptional, really really good cooking and when it’s paired with the house red & white it just made for such a memorable experience. Vanessa is an amazing person and host, truly showcasing hospitality at it best. Very kind and very helpful. An amazing experience. Everything was simply perfect.
• Nigel (7/5): Grat location and great food. - Great location and evening meal was excellent. Not a great location for driving so be aware. Parking in the lower village was terrible (road was not passable to accommodation by mini van). However, owner did pick us up and did help us park which was appreciated. Chalet was not 100% complete, with some outstandinhg work to be done (air con and finishing touches), but it was ok for the one night we were there.
• Joanna (10/5): Wow! Wow! Wow! - The location is absolutely stunning unbelievably beautiful and rural.! The host is amazingly helpful and proactive! The dinner in the restaurant was unbelievable. I think the words dondi the justice to this place. Probably the best places I have ever stayed, even though I have been in almost 50 countries.
• Lisa (9/5): A highlight of our trip to Italy for sure and would definitely recommend and rebook - The view was spectacular Quit serene ,a hidden gem The most delicious restaurant on site ! Owners receptive to request and very helpful and go out of their way to accommodate Highly recommended!
• Torsten (9/5): Beautiful little hotel surrounded by nature - This is a very special place, unlike your average Hotel in the village. La Selvaggia is at the upper end of Mandello in the middle of the beautiful nature away from everything - almost like a mountain hut. We were in Mandello for the Moto Guzzi Festival and we really enjoyed being able to get away from all of the people and the noise when going back to the hotel in the evening. The property is very well kept and there is a beautiful pool as well. You can see in everything that this is an owner run family business. It's just got this family touch. We only got to meet Vanessa and she was super nice. While we liked the fact that this place is a bit remote, it might not be right for everyone. It's a 7-8 minute walk from the parking up to the hotel on a nature path. Nothing crazy and a lovely walk but if you are not so stable on your feet, it's not ideal. Vanessa will be happy to offer you and your luggage a lift between the parking and the hotel (quite an experience) but of course she can't do it every time you come/go. Would have loved to stay a little longer and try their restaurant on the premises. Same goes for the pool.
• Anna (8/5): Good relaxing stay - Clean, spacious, comfy, in the middle of the naturue, yet very close to Mandello town and the lake/beach. Very kind staff. Good restaurant on location. A nice hiking trail nearby. You can't arrive there by car unless you have a 4x4. Otherwise they will come pick you and your stuff up and will bring you down at check-out - it's quite uncomfortable to move all your stuff from one car to another twice, and may be an issue if you stay there for more than a few days (you have to do quite a hike to/from your car). May be an issue for elderly and people with kids.
• Kitti (10/5): A quite mountain hideaway with a magical landscape in a familiar and funny environment - Awesome location. Very friendly stuff. Great fun in their restaurant and lots of delicious food, for a very good price. I liked all and I would come back
• Deckers (8/5): Not best price/quality - Good restaurant Nice apartment Ongoing construction works during our stay starting in the morning I missed the "Wow" factor which justifies the price
• Girts (7/5): Good -
• Lauren (9/5): Superb -
• Lorena (7/5): Good -
• Simon (10/5): Perfect escape - Loved the remote location, very comfortable accommodation, fantastic food and very friendly staff. We will be back.
• Marco (7/5): Cute place if you're fit or don't mind a bit inconvenience - The apartment was nice with a spacious bathroom and a decently equipped kitchen. The AC came in very handy. Although it's mentioned that it's located above the town and might not be accessible with all cars due to a dirt road , I think a bit more transparency would do them good. Fact is that the aforementioned dirt road is hardly accessible by car at all. Unless one is a seasoned off-road driver, I'd say nobody going on vacation there would manage to navigate this road without getting stuck or damaging their car. This means that you have to leave your car at the edge of town somewhere on the road, which sometimes required some improvisation. Then you either gotta call them to pick you up or you walk about 10 minutes on a tiny, steep trail which is partly overgrown and can be slippery due to loose pebbles on the ground. Doing so when one is not that mobile on foot or maybe with small children or when it's dark, is quite an adventure. Us being a young and relatively fit couple, it didn't pose an issue but it sure surprised us because the description didn't do a good job at setting the expectation which is why I wanted to detail the location here.
• Noah (10/5): Exceptional - perfetto ! everything is good , nice place and hosting , vanessa is so kind , we hope come again. grazie mille :) j
• Plamena (7/5): Great views, peaceful, very friendly people - Very nice and welcoming staff, options for both breakfast and dinner, amazing views, options for hiking, nice to be able to sit outside of your room and enjoy the lake views People with small kids should think twice before booking as it is not the easiest place to get to on foot. A bit more varied breakfast would have been nice. The rooms were not cleaned, bins emptied and towels were changed only upon a request - over 5 nights it would have been acceptable to have at least once a room refreshment.
• Adrian (8/5): would recommend very peaceful place - the location was very beautiful, amazing view of the lake. restaurant had lovely food, they let us try the traditional kitchen. parking, as car was parked away. if you have an sub you will not be able to park up due to narrow road leading to the actual hotel.
