    The location is great but not much around - you have to travel to lecco or como if you want more options for restaurants or bars.

    It was a stunning, modern property with beautiful views and everything you need. The host was very welcoming and gave us good recommendations! It was quiet and safe.

    Picobello Lago is an excellent place to stay who wants quiet area but easy access all famous locations by train. Our apartment felt like new and everything you could think of was provided. Hosts are easy to communicate with and provided us with additional tips for worth visit places and restaurants. Very easily accessible by train from Milan and easy to access famous locations around the lake.

    Noisy neighbors in other rooms, the house is either wooden or with thin walls because you can hear everyone walking on the stairs etc.

    well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, great location! however we stayed in both the room and the apartment during our stay and we liked the room more, bathroom was better and it was cozier :)

    We all travel to experience different cultures and see beauties of other countries or parts of it. Everyone is different which is what makes it exciting. We are not Italians and as such we have different customs. We eat continental breakfast (bread, ham, cheese, tomato etc). When we were having our breakfast downstairs someone made us feel a little uncomfortable by commenting on what we ate because it was different and not their usual breakfast. I'm sure it wasn't intentional but sometimes it's better to say nothing.

    Lovely quiet location compared to Varenna/Bellagio/Como/Leco). We had a room with a balcony with nice views. There is a common area with a large table in the lower ground with access to a garden with seats. This property comes with parking spaces which are outside at the back of the property. The room has a couple of plates, caps, glasses, cutlery, kettle, tea, coffee machine with coffee. This room doesn't have a kitchen which I didn't realise when booking but that was my mistake. However the hosts let us use a private kitchen downstairs for breakfast preparation which was very helpful. They also gave us recommendations about restaurants, parking, what to see and were happy to help with anything. The bed was comfortable with good quality bedding and one large duvet to share. Most of the restaurants have siestas/breaks at various times between 14 - 18 (times differ) and are closed. We arrived at Mandello on Monday at 14:00 and all restaurants were already closed even though Google stated some are open until 3pm. We went to a place that made sandwiches. We were driving a car and traveled to several places. One of them was Varena (extremely busy already at the end of April, bear this in mind as the number of people was enormous) so we were happy that Mandello del Lario was a quiet town. The ferry from Mandello goes twice a day on some days. If you want to take it plan in advance and book your tickets online as they sell out quickly. There are also buses and trains. Roads are narrow. If you are not a skilled driver taking public transport might be less stressful. As we traveled to different parts around the lake we paid between 1.50€ to 3€ per hour for parking. The touristic towns are very busy and a lot of parking is full. You may need to take a few rounds before you find anything.

    Everything was perfect from the moment we saw the building. Kaja (the owner) is very detail oriented person and you can see that this place is top quality. The apartments are very clean, anything that you need is in there. Kitchen with living room and small balcony was ideal for quick lunch or late dinner. Bathroom was clean with towels change every few days. Bedroom with separate wardrobe and big bed plus small desk was ideal for us. Kaja was very helpful on every step of our vacation. Really recommend this place as we definitely would like to get back here. Absolutely top quality!

    It wasn't a deal-breaker for us, but keep in mind that there are no lifts at Picobello nor at the local station and if you intend to arrive or leave by train, you might have to take your luggage up or down a flight of stairs, depending on the platform.

    We had the nicest stay at Picobello. Our room was very spacious and impeccably designed, with a view of the mountains plus our own little balcony. Kaja, one of the hosts, welcomed us and gave us lots of useful tips on how to get around (they have even set up a corner by the entrance with some booklets and guidebooks). In the room we found complimentary sweets and infusions and while we didn't have a kitchen, we had everything else we could need for a meal: a mini fridge, plates, cutlery, cups and napkins. We also appreciated that they had left some umbrellas for the guests to borrow, as we got some rainy days. As for the location, while Mandello isn't exactly one of the most touristic spots, we actually liked it as a getaway from the hustle of other towns along the lake. It still remains perfectly comfortable to get around: you can take direct trains to Varenna, Bellano, Lecco and Milan, or a ferry to Bellagio or Lecco and from there to Tremezzo, Menaggio, Lenno and many more! Picobello itself is just a short walk from both the train and the ferry stations (about 10 min) and just 5 mins from the lake. There's also a number of restaurants close by, and we particularly liked the bakery on Via Alessandro Manzoni (I'd say don't leave without trying their pistacchio cannoli or the mushroom pizza, but really everything was superb and fairly priced.)

    Amazing place with a super lovely host who gave us a lot of recommendations and was always up for a chat. Big, comfortable and modern room with own balcony as well as several common areas (balcony, garden, living room). Good value for money and loved the location in one of the calmer, more authentic towns around lake Como. Would love to come back!

    Everything was perfect! Really!

    We were surprised how the owner welcomed us! She was so supportive before our arrival, she gave us the tips how it’s better to come. After we arrived she showed everything by herself with a lot of explanation and a big pleasure. Give us some travelling, local food and places to eat great food. Our flat and the house were full with a small details those let us feel like in our own home. There were two spectacular terraces to have a great evening with the vie to mountains. I can’t express myself how I like it. Really highly recommended to everyone for one night or longer stay. Fantastic place!
