With SUV, 2 e-bikes, staying 6 nights, we were looking for free, safe parking, breakfast, optional dinner, a more quiet, scenic location but away from super busy and overpriced Como central area. 200 year old classic farmhouse, in the woods, children and dog friendly seemed to be unique proposition. In the are close to Como, Maggiore, Lugano Lake District attractive base.

We loved this property, we only wish we could speak Italian, to avoid using google translate 😄

Amazing

Nothing

Einen Fliegengitter am Bad- und am Schlafzimmerfenster wäre nützlich gewesen.

Location is exactly what is informed and what can be expected from a farm-stay. Arrival down the lane with animals to one side and mais fields to the other - is great. Real cosy court yard used as restaurant. This place has everything to get very happy feedback from ALL guests (if just the owner would read the reviews about his staff)

There was a problem with our toilet, that was actually disasembled when we came. Ower tried to fix it but it only worked once after that. Asked to have it fixed again later, but as owner was gone we had option to change to a smaller room away from our other room. So I ended up spending time to fix the toilet my self - (at least to it would not be running water all the time). Not a big issue and at least they tried to solve for us. Main problem which is so sad as the place truly has big potential: As many others have already written - there seems to be a huge problem with staff. From first second we arrived, we felt like they prefered we did not come. Some office "staff" were more or less hanging in the chairs counting seconds to get out of there. Not friendly. In spite there was not many guests the restaurant staff were running around like chickens with no read. When passing our and other tables they were busy looking down, in stead of seeking eye contact. everyone tried to look busy and were stressed. When one came to ask if he could service us and we told what we needed - he said "okay okay, but I must first help that other table as they are waiting for me". Later he was angry that our kids had taken an ice-cream from the fridge eventhough it was him self that had told we could take it. Over all sad. I hope the owner will spend some months during low season to work with his staff, so future will be positive.
