The best thing about this place is the location with the beautiful view, close proximity to restaurants, shops, and ferry. The apartment was nice enough for the short amount of time we spent there, small but cozy. The steps were doable but challenging with luggage. The check in was all via electronic, no personal contact so depending on your preference…

Communication with host was not great. Asked about coffee in the apartment and never received a reply. Shower door was cracked and held together with duct tape. Couch was stained. View and location were the only great thing about this apartment. Would stay somewhere else next time.

Inside the room was very clean except the living room coach was very stained. The balcony is barely one chair wide sitting sidewise. The kitchen only has two water glasses. The coffee maker only takes espresso pods which there was only three, for our stay. The location was great. Communication with Wonderful was very frustrating . With a couple of days before they sent a link to a website for checkin that wanted what I consider too much personal information. So i called the listed phone number . The agent that answered instructed me to a email picture of our passport. Which I did. No response for the email. After that i called a dozen times but the phone hung up on me every time. The day before I tried WhatsApp text which i got a response . They wanted another copy of passport which we sent. The day of travel we finally got information about location and enter code. At property the access the wifi didn't work. After several texts and days they fixed it on the last night of our stay. None of the texts to WhatsApp was answered timely. Also i tried to reach out to VRBO and was very disappointed in the lack of communication with VRBO.

This apartment was in an awesome location with a spectacular view of the lake. The place was clean with a ton of storage space, but pretty sparsely appointed. We had some difficulty gaining access, as the wonderful italy management process required a contract and tourism tax be paid prior to arrival. Communcation was through WhatsApp and I have better, more prompt response with other properties. Bellagio is a beautiful town but also very busy with tourists. In hindsight, staying at one of the other villages: Veranna, Menaggio or Lenno and then taking a ferry to visit Bellagio could have worked better for us.

Great views
The apartment location was terrific with an amazing lake view. There was an ant infestation throughout the place and was told it is common and to spray it ourselves, which was disappointing. We shouldn’t have to be exterminators while on vacation. Host was not that responsive. Location was definitely the best part.

Lake Como Dream
Stay here. Book it IMMEDIATELY. Worth every penny. It is a beautiful flat and could not ask for a better location. We had no issue dropping our luggage and then parking somewhere else. Don’t let that scare you away. If you’re a light sleeper and go to bed early or sleep late, know that a ferry is directly outside the flat and does use it’s horn upon arrival and departure.
