Stunning views, nice and quiet. That said, if you don’t like driving up mountain roads then this is not for you. Not much in the local village of Selva so you have to go down to the lakeside to find shops etc. Nearest big supermarket is in nearby Colico. Nearest beach is in Domaso but the beach at Piona in Colico is much nicer for swimming. Main issue is that because you are up in the woods there are a lot of insects. Unfortunately the place has no fly screens or net curtains so you have to close the shutters and the place gets very hot at night. The pools/waterfalls shown nearby are about 400m away. - not really deep enough for swimming but good fora dip.. That said worth a visit. However, the “lower” path which leads to the best pools is a bit more of a trek as the path is quite overgrown and you will have to scramble down some banks. There are markers on trees to help as the instructions provided are not great. Not for those with mobility problems. The Upper path is quite steep but easier to navigate - but the pools aren;t as big.

Authentic home with beautiful views of Lake Como!

the house, the garden, everything is very beautiful and quiet!

First of all, we want to thank you for a lovely vacation. The area is beautiful and the access to it was so comfortable. We really enjoyed it. We enjoyed the apartment, which was neat and clean. The apartment was so well organized inside and it was the perfect size for our big family. The sunny terrace was absolutely perfect for relaxing. Montemezzo, Gera and Gravedona are great places to stay. There are a lots of restaurants and cafes and also very good wine bars. We loved Lake Como - it was paradise! We will take advantage of it again.
