This gorgeous apartment in Dorio was amazing. The views from the terrace are breathtaking. The apartment has all the modern conveniences and is tastefully decorated.We found the beds extremely comfortable and clean.The apartment is in the quiet town of Dorio, which we enjoyed because Varenna felt too touristy for our tastes though accessible by car. Sue, the host was very responsive when we needed to contact her.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this stunning apartment with a view. Thank you Sue and Martin!

A lovely spot with gorgeous views of Lake Como. In hindsight, I am surprised that some stayed here without a car, as transportation around the lake can be a bit of a challenge. But we found it ideal with our little compact that fit just fine in the cozy garage and easy enough to pop in and out to journey off to the local towns and beyond in our week-long exploration of the area. You certainly are not staying in one of the busy, popular locations when you rent this apartment. But if you like things a bit removed and a bit more peaceful, this is your place.

Outstanding!

This apartment is a great find! stunning views and large and well equipped. The pictures in the website do not do it justice! We loved just sitting on the terrace, having supper and looking out onto the lake. The host was exceptional in her communication and we found the apartment easily. We had hired a car for our stay, but you could easily stay here without a car. The bus stop is at the bottom of the road - 10 mins walk up/down the hill. The bus would take you all around the lake.Thanks Sue for a great few days.

Stunning view, nice place

Pictures don’t do justice to the view that awaits the renter of this apartment! The lake and the surrounding mountains are stunning. The apartment is nice and comfortable with a great balcony to enjoy the view. I would recommend getting there during the day since it can be a bit tricky at night. Pay attention to the fact that there are 3 flights of steps to climb, but if steps are not a problem, the view is totally worth it!!!

We stayed at this property for 10 days and thoroughly enjoyed it! The apartment was clean, tidy and had everything we needed along with a stunning view over Lake Como. The location was perfect, being located in a small village which was in easy reach of tourist hotspots along the lake via car or train. We would highly recommend. Thank you.

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.

Comfortable home with great views.

We found this a great place to relax, especially sitting on the deck overlooking Lake Como in all its different personalities from hour to hour and day to day. The kitchen is well equipped and the leather couches comfortable. Although Sue and Martin live far from their condo, they responded promptly to requests for assistance. We discovered the one-hour hike from the condo up the mountain only late in our stay: it was exhilarating and afforded stunning views of the lake. The bakery lady in Dorio was friendly and helpful. Our two favorite restaurants in the vicinity were the castle restaurant in Corenno Plinio and Il Crottini. The local fare and service were truly memorable. Our stay was delightful and we would highly commend this place to others.
