Il Giogo Mandello del Lario, Lombardy

House was not really clean. Gas stove dirty and paper with stains and food remains in the drawers. Perfect view, beds not so comfortable and unfortunately it is not possible to communicate with the owner, because he only speaks Italian. A nice man indeed. WiFi was very bad.

The house, the terrace, the meadow, the view, everything was great! However, the interior is very sparse. We didn't have very good weather and had to spend meals and some evenings inside, it wasn't comfortable. The sofa bed, which is in a dark corner, is worn and old. The bed/mattress was way too hard for us. Noisy, the landlord lives below. The kitchen is very sparsely furnished. Nice house for nice weather!

Very good location between mountains and the lake. Very friendly owner. Absolute privacy, but also contact with neighbors easily possible. A village shop with a bar 200m above where you can pre-order baked goods. No WiFi in the house, but can also be an advantage ;-). Hiking trail in the mountains can be reached quickly, the road to the lake is a bit too far to walk, ok by bike, but steep (approx. 160m difference in altitude over a length of 1.5 km). Free parking at the train station, then 250 m walk to the lake.
