Utterly Charming

The medieval tower apartment was absolutely perfect for our little family! We loved the history and charm of Breglia. Lucia is incredibly knowledgeable about the village and the surrounding area, and provides a ton of information that we used to plan our time there. I would encourage anyone hesitant to just go ahead and book. This is an absolutely wonderful rental with so much to enjoy in the area.

This is a beautiful character property in a beautiful medieval village. Lucia is very pleasant, has excellent communication skills and knowledge of local attractions. The terrace attached to the property is very nice and the village offers excellent walks for those who enjoy walking. It is perhaps not suitable for those with limited walking abilities. We really enjoyed our stay and will be going back for sure.

À 20mn en voiture du lac de Côme par une petite route de montagne qui offre des vues extraordinaires, s'endormir au son du brame du cerf, ce fut un séjour atypique et magnifique. L'accueil et la gentillesse de notre hôtesse, qui a veillé sur nous avec beaucoup de discrétion, nous a fait apprécier son gîte douillet, calme et tranquille.

Wer Ruhe sucht, der ist hier richtig.

Wir hatten wunderschöne Tage in Lucias urigem Turm in Breglia. Wir wurden herzlichst empfangen und mit nützlichen und hilfreichen Tipps geradezu überhäuft. DANKE dafür! Der Turm hatte alles was unser Herz begehrte. Vor allem die schöne Terrasse, auf der wir jeden Morgen bei Sonnenschein frühstücken konnten, hat uns sehr gefallen. Vom Turm aus starten viele Wandermöglichkeiten, was wir sehr begrüßt haben da wir das Auto so kaum bemühen mussten. Fatzit: Sehr zu empfehlen. Es war toll!

Ein schöner Urlaub in netter Umgebung

Lucia ist eine sehr nette, hilfsbereite und gute Gastgeberin. Direkt nach der Buchung, kurz vor der Ankunft und auch während des Aufenthalts gab es von ihr einige Vorschläge für Wanderungen und gute Tipps für Ausflüge und Besichtigungen in dieser schönen Gegend. Die Kommunikation hat gut und unkompliziert auf Englisch funktioniert. Am Abreisetag gab es bei der Übergabe eine herzliche Verabschiedung. Auch ihr Mann zeigte sich in der ganzen Zeit sehr hilfsbereit. In dem beschaulichen Dorf mit einem empfehlenwerten und stets gut besuchten Restaurant mit fairen Preisen in direkter Nähe und in der Ferienwohnung haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Wohnung ist genau wie in der Anzeige beschrieben. Gerade bei hohen Temperaturen im Sommer lässt es sich dort besser aushalten, als direkt am See. Alles in allem ist die Region für einen entspannten Urlaub sehr zu empfehlen.

Wunderbare Natur, ruhiges Bergdorf, sehr nette und zuvorkommende Vermieterin

Wir konnten zwei Wochen lang durch ausgiebige Wanderungen die nähere und etwas weitere Umgebung von Breglia genießen. Dabei sind wir bevorzugt direkt von Breglia gestartet, weil es ein sehr guter Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen ist. Im Dorf und in der Ferienwohnung haben wir uns ausgesprochen wohl gefühlt. Unsere Vermieterin Lucia hat schon vor Beginn des Urlaubs durch ihre sehr nette und unkomplizierte Kommunikation alles getan, um uns behilflich zu sein. Vor Ort hat sich diese tolle Unterstützung bis zum letzten Tag fortgesetzt! Für unsere Ausflüge an den Comer See haben wir auf Empfehlung von Luica meistens die Busse des öffentlichen Nahverkehrs genutzt. Dass fanden wir auch wesentlich entspannter, als selbst mit dem Auto dort unterwegs zu sein. Alles in Allem ein sehr gelunger Urlaub - vielen Dank an Lucia!!!

Ruhiges Dorf und schöne Landschaft

Wer den Trubel am See meiden will ist in diesem ruhigen Dorf gut aufgehoben. Wanderungen vor der Haustüre, ein Restaurant am Ort, das sind die Pluspunkte. Menschen mit körperlichen Einschränkungen sollten jedoch wissen, dass es vom Parkplatz bis zur Wohnung einen steilen und holprig gepflasterten Weg gibt und rauf in die Wohnung eine steile Treppe. Im Schlafzimmer kann man meist nur gebückt gehen, weil die Deckenbalken niedrig sind. Das Bad ist recht klein und die wohnung insgesamt nicht besonders hell. Wem das nichts ausmacht, der ist bestens aufgehoben im Mittelalterlichen Ambiente des Turms.

Staying in a small village has many great offerings

From the moment we saw the pictures of this medieval tower, we knew we had to stay here while touring around Lake Como. We were not disappointed! Lucia was the perfect host, not only prompt in meeting us to guide our way up to the tower but guiding us towards points of interest in/nearby the village and in the mid-section of Lake Como. Her well drawn maps showing hikes around the village along with her personal interest in our doing the hikes nearby was contagious. We are glad we listened to her advice. We particularly enjoyed returning back to our lodging and sitting around the fire in the fireplace, sipping wine and reflecting over the fun we had during our stay.
