The main house is beautiful and about a 40 min walk / short drive to Lecco. The apartment itself is high spec/modern, comfortable and clean. The host, Paula, is friendly and gave us some tips. The main disappointment with the property is the lack of privacy. The Pool is directly opposite the host's living room which has large French windows exposing their house and so we didn't feel comfortable using the pool once. The apartment is also directly above the host's bedrooms, and so guests are asked not to make any noise before 9am or late at night. That is a very reasonable request, but we had not realised the flat was situated above the owner when we booked (you cannot see the actual house in the photos). Therefore, we hardly spent any time at the property, apart from late at night. However, the gazebo in the photo houses a table tennis table which was fun. Be sure to speak to the host about how to correctly separate your waste to be recycled in Italy. We were embarrassingly not aware of this! I believe we were supposed to have also cleaned the bed sheets (we didn't!), and the kitchen should be left cleaned. Our advice to future guests is to conduct some research if you wish to spend time in Lecco; we didn't like the area as much as other places around lake Como and the food we had there was very poor. Having a car is a must, in our opinion. Overall - a very pleasant time at lake Como
