We were warmly welcomed by Cinzia and Marco in Gravedona and they accompanied us by car to Livo and then helped us with our luggage.
The apartment is in the middle of the village with a view of Lake Como from the balcony.
It is equipped with everything you need and everything was very clean and tidy. There is really nothing missing and, above all, all the appliances work perfectly. There are also enough dishes to fill the dishwasher.
The area around Lake Como is beautiful and there is a lot to discover.
We can only recommend this apartment.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Merci à Cinzia et Marco de leur parfait accueil et grande disponibilité. La Ghema Mountain House est très bien aménagée avec goût, offre des espaces bien répartis et dispose d'un très bel équipement.Nous avons aussi été ravis du village de Livo, avec beaucoup de charme et de caractère, et une situation parfaite pour entreprendre directement du village promenades et randonnées dans les splendides montagnes environnantes. Il faut juste savoir que les sentiers d'altitude ne débutent qu'après quelques kilomètres de beaux chemins boisés. Très pratique aussi la disponibilité au village d'une petite épicerie pour s"approvisionner en pain le matin. Nous avons beaucoup aimé et avons envie de revenir!
Livo ist ein kleines Dorf, von dem aus schöne Wanderungen in die Berge gestartet werden können. Comer See nur ca. 15-20 Autominuten entfernt. Wohnung sehr gut ausgestattet, Cinzia und Marco sind sehr aufmerksame und nette Gastgeber.
We werden beneden in Gravedona opgewacht door de eigenaars die ons voorreden naar het berg dorpje Livo . Ongeveer 10 minuten rijden van alle drukte beneden. Het enige kleine minpuntje is het brengen van de bagage , jexauto zet je ongeveer 100 meter verderop neer, in eerste instantie leek oeroud verlaten dorpje maar niks is minder waar pal onder huisje 100 meter lopen een oergezellige pizzeria op dorpsplein . De toeristen die er zijn hoofdzakelijk mountainbike of wandelen . Het huis is van 1690 en mooi gerenoveerd . Vandaar uit mooi uitvalsbasis naar Como meer of zelf Zwitserland . We hebben ons prima vermaakt
Das Haus war super sauber es hat auch an nichts gefehlt Die Betten waren sehr bequem Cinzia und Marco waren sehr nett und hatten immer ein offenes Ohr wir kommen noch mal zurück
Appartement parfaitement fonctionnel et impeccable dans un petit village à 10min sur les hauteurs de gravedonna.
Nous avons pu faire de la randonnée directement depuis le village mais aussi se baigner au lac.
Nous avons été parfaitement reçus.
Wir waren für eine Woche in der schönen Ferienwohnung.
Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und ist renoviert. Der kleine Balkon hat einen Blick auf den See, dort kann man die lauen Sommerabende genießen. Wir waren mit unseren Hunden dort und man kann direkt von der Wohnung aus zu tollen Wanderungen starten. Cinzia und Marco sind sehr freundlich und alles hat super geklappt!
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Wohnung absolut empfehlen!
Tolle Wanderungen direkt von der Ferienwohnung möglich. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung war sehr gut, die Vermieter sehr nett und beim Check in / out sehr flexibel und kooperativ. Bei Fragen waren sie schnell erreichbar und hilfsbereit. Vielen Dank an Cinzia und Marco.
