Mehrere Mängel
Wir waren zum 2. mal in dieser Unterkunft. Leider hat dieses mal die Heizung nicht funktioniert. Wir haben den offenen Kamin dann eingeheizt. Aber da das Haus nicht isoliert ist, kühlt es sehr schnell aus. Am zweiten Tag haben wir einen Elektroofen gefunden mit diesem ist es gegangen. Leider hatten wir kein WLAN der Router hat nicht funktioniert. Auf Nachfrage könnte das Problem auch nicht behoben werden. Die Vermieterin ist sehr schlecht zu erreichen. Erst auf mehrmaliges nachfragen erhielten wir den Code für die Eingangstür. FeWo- direkt war uns da nun zum zweiten Mal sehr behilflich. Vielen Dank.

Wochenende mit Freunden
Super Haus, genau wie in der Beschreibung. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Kritik: Haus sehr schwer zu finden. Bitte Weg-Beschreibung hinzufügen. Leider wurde uns der Schlüsselcode zum öffnen der Tür nicht geschickt. Deshalb standen wir eine Stunde vor verschlossener Tür. Der nette Mitarbeiter von FeWo- direkt konnte uns, dann telefonisch weiter helfen. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Plesio était trop isolé.
Il n'était pas facile de trouver " la casa del nonno Cesco", la rue n'était pas indiquée et était inconnue des rares habitants croisés dans le hameau. Heureusement que mon épouse parle bien italien, elle a pu demander de l'aide à des personnes très aimables qui ne connaissait que le nom du grand-père pas la rue. Les indications nous ont été données que le jour même par SMS, personne sur place pour nous accueillir, c'était un peu compliqué de trouver la maison. La petite place de Plesio était petite et le parking pas suffisant grand pour 3 voitures, il était difficile de rouler les valises dans les rues où il n'y avait pas grand monde, aucune commodités, nous étions loin de tout, isolés mais au calme. La maison était bien équipée, la décoration un peu trop rustique à notre goût mais cohérente avec le site et c'était propre. la literie de la chambre principale grinçait, et la chambre à deux lits pour enfants, pas assez confortable pour des sexagénaires, le robinet de la salle de bain avec baignoire giclait, il faudrait changer le joint. Autrement, rapport qualité prix, rien à dire, mais pas de terrasse avec vue sur le lac, dommage car le site est beau, on ne voyait le lac que depuis le balcon de la chambre parentale et en se penchant. Nous étions trop loin de tout dans un hameau sans vie, ce n'était pas ce à quoi nous nous attendions, mais globalement, ça allait.

2 Tage comersee
Camilla‘s Haus war wunderschön! Es liegt in einem ruhigen Dorf in den Bergen - ca.15min von menaggio und Tourismus entfernt. Es ist empfehlenswert Rucksäcke zu haben, da der Parkplatz etwas entfernter liegt (ca 5min zu Fuß) und zum Haus kleine verwinkelte Gassen durch die autofreie Altstadt führen. Im Haus mangelt es an nichts - es ist toll renoviert, die zimmer sind großzügig und der kleine Innenhof mit Liebe gestaltet. Von einem Balkon hat auch einen Blick zum comersee! Wir hatten leider nur zwei Nächte dort wären aber gerne länger geblieben!
