    What a beautiful view!
    The sounds of silence! After spending a week in Paris on our trip to Europe, we traveled to Lake Como to stay in this beautiful property in Dorio. The idyllic location is not only beautiful it is also quiet. If you were looking for a place with natural beauty to relax, this is the place!

    First visit to Lake Como
    Sue and Martin are great hosts and made sure we knew how to get keys etc. The apartment has beautiful views and well equipped. The only thing that keeps it from all 5’s is location. I think it is easier if you have a car. There are no taxis that we ever saw in Dorio. It is a difficult climb up to the apartment when hauling bags. We are good hikers and once we knew shortcuts to town and train, it was easier. We had a couple of rainy days, so we were hrateful we had such a nice place to enjoy when out of the rain. Thank you Sue and Martin!

    Fantastic apartment with amazing views over the lake
    It was very clean, lovely furnishings. Everything you need for a holiday. Incredible large balcony with uninterrupted views of the lake. Walking distance to the train station, beach and excellent bakery/village shop. The walk back to the apartment is up a steep hill. Note that we have a big car and had to park it on the road next to the apartment building. Also for parking in and around Lake Como, a smaller car would be better so we found being near the train and ferry very helpful and we didn't need to use our car the whole time we were there.

    Few day stay in Dorio
    Whether it was poor research on my part or something else we were all a little surprised at just how small the town of Dorio was upon our arrival. The home was great and provided us what we needed for our stay. Supposedly you can be fined up to 300 euro if you get throwing trash away in the wrong containers wrong which made us very worried and we ended up taking our trash with us when we left ha! The view was incredible and Sue was very attentive to checking in prior to our trip. If you are looking for a quiet getaway with very little access to groceries, restaurants, people, etc. then this is the perfect spot for you. We were not made aware of the Dorio train station until we googled it ourself, which was a HUGE win for us so we could transport between towns. If you are driving then this location is perfect as you can make your way around as you please. If you are taking the train and do not have a car then it may not be the best option unless you are okay with being tied to the train. There is one small restaurant in town, which is over 1/2 a mile down a hill and it had an incredible dinner our last night. Lastly, if you are hoping to use the taxi service to get from place to place be aware that you need to speak Italian or have someone is able to to help you.

    A great spot to relax and see Lake Como
    Sue was great with the communications up front, the condo is great and well maintained. The location is nice and high to see beautiful Lake Como while on their deck enjoying a drink. Within a 15 minute drive, there are multiple ferry opportuniste to explore other lake como areas. Bellagio from Varenna is a must if you have the time. We will be back to the area sometime soon and will stay here again or recommend to others. The parking is a bit tricky, but with a good spotter, it’s a three point turn for a medium size vehicle. Thanks Sue Ryan and Roxane from New Brunswick Canada

    Great location, beautiful views as per the pictures, very quiet when we visited. Only downside offered was the garage - really shouldn’t suggest anyone attempts to get in it

    This was a great place to stay. Clean, quiet, great view, but a little isolated.
    We loved staying there, but it was difficult walking there from the train station with our suitcases. If you rent a car, the parking is still difficult, but if you enjoy not having a car and walking, it was really beautiful and peaceful! We loved it anwill try to come back!!

    Wonderful Holiday
    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The view of Lake Como is incredible. We found Dorio to be very relaxing and hospitable. I highly recommend the restaurant at the castle just down the road. The Sentiero Del Viandante is a must also and is only a short walk up the road.

    Perfect apartment
    Amazing property, even better than it looked online. Stunning views from a beautifully decorated stylish apartment. Everything you could want for a special break. The hosts were amazing, especially when I managed to leave my bag on the train! Sue arranged for someone to bring a spare set! Definately visit again.
