Avis Maison Peltrera - flying over Como

Our stay was for 5 days with my spouse and 3 sons (all 18+) and son-in-law. Property was big enough for 6 of us adults with a lot of beautiful windows for cooling down the apartment. It didn't help there was a major heat wave in Italy the time we were staying but the property mgr brought us an additional 2 fans to help as apt is without a/c. There was a pool on the property all to ourselves so that was a huge help after a long hot day of sight seeing and a great way to cool down. Most European homes & businesses do not have a/c so you cant be to afraid to sweat when visiting Italy, lol The only downside were the steps up to the apartment. You definitely need to be in moderate shape to walk up these everyday if not a couple times a day if needed. It was hard with all our luggage but we managed just fine. We always slept with windows open at night as it usually cools down at night. We rented 2 little cars for 2 days for sightseeing & had no problems w/parking near the apt. The apt is located in walking distance to Como and the restaurants, shops & the ferry station. If you have never been to European cities keep in mind the businesses shut down for lunch/break times so plan accordingly when wanting to shop and etc. We would do things early & eat while the businesses close, restaurants stay open & then you can relax for lunch. Apt mgr was great w/communicating to us if we had any needs or questions. We would stay here again for sure.

Lovely place to be based to explore Como and the lake, as other have said quite a few steps up from town, so moderate fitness required. Would recommend.

Host charged us money for damage previous guests had done and admitted it. VRBO has done nothing to help us.

Close to town and train station, lots of steps walking up to the property but doable

A great apartment for an affordable summer stay in Como. The view was incredible and the place was very private with sufficient space for a family of 4 (and more). The only challenge was the walking distance to amenities and sites (or more accurately - the number of stairs to get back to the apartment from Como) - although it can be overcome.
