Alles bestens!
Machen wir es kurz: wir haben für nächstes Jahr bereits wieder gebucht :) Es war für uns ein rundum gelungener Urlaub und wir können uns den anderen Kommentaren nur anschließen. Die Straße vor dem Haus und die damit verbundenen Geräusche störten uns jetzt z.B. nicht.

Lake front beauty
Our stay at Franco’s house was perfect from start to finish. Our plane was delayed but he waited to meet us. The house was even better than the pictures, the location is perfect the size of the property is great for 5 adults. The lake level room is perfect to store your supplies for a day on the beach and with a toilet and shower it’s perfect to use after a swim in the lake. This visit marked my parents 13th trip to this area so we have stayed in many places. We have booked to go back again next year so that should tell you how wonderful the house and Franco is. He even took us to the train station when we couldn’t get a taxi. He is so helpful, checking in on us via WhatsApp to see if we needed anything and dropped off some fruit fresh from his garden. If you are going to stay anywhere then this should be your first choice.

Alles perfekt!
Die Wohnung ist toll. Alles war wie beschrieben und sehr sauber. Franco ist ein sehr toller Gastgeber und war immer ansprechbar. Wir waren mit 2 Kindern sowie mit SUP und Paddelboot in der Wohnung. Sowohl SUP als auch Paddelboot konnten problemlos im Keller untergebracht werden. Somit konnte man sich auch spontan und ohne viel Aufwand an den öffentlichen Strand direkt vor der Haustüre aufmachen. In Fiumelatte selbst ist es ruhig und entspannt. Fiumelatte ist ein idealer Ausgangspunkt, um sich in die nächstgelegene Stadt Varenna zu Fuß zu begeben. Wir werden bestimmt nochmal wiederkommen. Leider ist sie nächstes Jahr schon ausgebucht.

Only one issue...
We very much enjoyed our stay at the house and Franco was very helpful and brought us to the market because there is no market nearby. The market that is mentioned in the ad that is right across the street has been closed for two years now. The house was very clean and right on the lake, which was very nice. The only problem was the walk into town. It is about a 20 minute walk to the beginning of the town, and 30 minutes to the ferry. It's not so much the time it took, but the walk was not pleasant as it is along a very busy street with cars going rather fast and you have to walk single file as there is very little room between you and the cars. At some point during the walk there is no sidewalk. Walking back to the house after dinner in the dark, we would put our phone flashlight on to make sure the cars saw us. I couldn't imagine doing this walk with small children as you can't really hold their hands during the walk as there is not enough room to walk two-by-two. Taxis are not often around either. Other than that, the house was absolutely perfect and Franco was always available to answer any questions.

Meer dan fantastisch!
Een prachtige 3 verdiepingen tellende goed onderhouden woning, direct gelegen aan het Comomeer met fantastisch uitzicht over de bergen, het meer en de plaatsen Bellagio, Menaggio en Varenna. Meer hoeft eigenlijk niet verteld te worden. Maar ik doe het toch. Want deze woning is echt heel bijzonder. Geen woning in deze prijsklasse is zo mooi gesitueerd aan het meer. Een klein publiek strandje direct achter het huis, vind ze maar eens! Het prachtige en pittoreske Varenna is op loopafstand maar de kinderen (9 en 12) waren wij zo blij met het strandje dat wij niet veel op pad zijn geweest. Een bijkomend voordeel is dat je ook vanaf het balkon zicht hebt op het strandje. Dus wij konden de dag rustig beginnen terwijl de kinderen al gingen zwemmen onder ons toezicht vanaf het balkon. Er is in Varenna een uitzichtpunt waarbij een bordje staat ‘200 steps to a romantic view’. Geloof mij, het uitzicht vanuit deze woning en het strandje is vele malen mooier. De woning zelf is van alle gemakken voorzien, schoon en fris. De bedden zijn opgemaakt, er zijn voldoende badlakens en ook is er een wasmachine. Er was door de eigenaar Franco zelfs wat lekkers klaargelegd in de koelkast bij onze aankomst. Franco is vriendelijk, discreet en behulpzaam. Parkeerplekken zijn schaars, maar gelukkig weet Franco een paar plekjes die meestal vrij zijn. Deze zijn wel wat verder van de woning gelegen maar voor ons was dit geen probleem. Absoluut een aanrader! Franco, grazie mille per la tua ospitalità. Abbiamo apprezzato la tua casa. Se potessi dare dieci stelle lo farei. Saluti!
