LISTING DESCRIPTION
Il Garovaglio is a 2 bedroom apartment with a fantastic zen garden in the centre of Como. It is a short 10 minute walk from Como Cathedral and just a short hop to the lake with all of the wonderful bistros, bars and pizzerias. The apartment is stylishly decorated and fully furnished with all that you might need be it for a long weekend or a longer stay.

THE SPACE
If it’s a lazy time you are after, look no further than the master bedroom which has a large, comfortable bed with direct access to the garden where you can relax in the morning with a cup of coffee or a glass of fizz in the evening.
There is also a double sofa bed in the living room, a retractable single bed in the office area and the kitchen is well-equipped for real Italian cooking.
Whether you are staying with us for work or pleasure, there is a mini office space to accommodate any internet browsing you may need to do, a complimentary laptop to use and even a printer (yes, we've got ink and paper!).
Be sure to enjoy the garden while you stay with us. With sunshine during the day into the early evening, if you don’t want to leave the comfort of the apartment, you can sunbathe in private or just enjoy an aperitivo and lunch on the terrace.

GUEST ACCESS
You have complete access to all areas in the apartment, the garden and the garage. Take special note of the height in the garage though, roofboxes on a 4x4 may be too tight a squeeze!

GUEST INTERACTION
Whilst we no longer live in Como, we are always on hand if you need assistance. If you need advice on things to do, places to visit or restaurant tips, simply drop us a message and we will respond immediately.
Since the building is quiet and secure, you can be assured of absolute privacy whilst you stay there. In the event of problems, we have full remote access so you never need to worry about being locked out!

AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING
The apartment is equipped with air conditioning throughout at your control.
This also functions as heating during the autumn and winter months and with underfloor heating throughout, the ambient temperature is always pleasant.

MATURE GUESTS
The space is great if you have a little more trouble getting around but still want to enjoy all that Lake Como has to offer.
Located on the ground floor with a lift from the car park and a short distance from all the amenities in town makes the apartment a great choice.

LUGGAGE
On departure, if you don’t want to carry your luggage around, you can leave it in the centre of town at BAG & GO LAKE COMO, 9 minutes walk away (we hold no responsibility for luggage held here but other guests have used this service).

FLOOR
The apartment is on the ground floor.
There are no stairs to be taken and a lift from the garage.

SIZE
The apartment is 85 square metres (915 square feet)
The garden is 40 square metres (430 square feet)

QUIET
The apartment is extremely quiet and there's no noise.
The adjacent road leads to Brunate and as it’s one-way, traffic is light for most of the day apart from peak times.
The noise is limited by the fence in the garden and double-glazed windows and doors in the apartment.
You can be sure of a good night’s sleep, even as a light sleeper, with floor to ceiling external blinds that are controlled automatically.

ECO FRIENDLY
The house is Energy Classification "A" (least consumption and carbon footprint).
Appliances are also all in class "A".
The electric energy is from 100% renewable sources.
The toilet paper is recycled.
Coffee pods are biodegradable.

LIGHT
Both the bedroom and the living room have big windows allowing lots of light in.

What a fantastic apartment we just stayed in - we were sad to leave so soon. Situated in a quiet and safe area the apartment is still located within an easy walk to everything. Ap and Andrea are fabulous hosts and extremely thoughtful in leaving refreshments for us on our arrival. The check in was super easy and we were made to feel at home straight away. Thank you Ap and Andrea! Perfect Hosts and a Perfect Apartment.

This apartment was beautiful and is a great space if you want to chill with a couple of friends. It was situated a couple of minutes away from the busy centre of Como which was nice if you prefer a quieter area. Amenities fantastic! It had everything I personally needed ( iron and ironing board, great hair dryer, washer and dryer, and a very comfortable bed).

We had a wonderful stay at Andrea's air bnb! He and his father were very welcoming, thoughtful and reactive to answer all our questions. The flat was perfect, very well located at the city center close to all touristic areas, restaurants, with supermarkets, traditional supermercado coperto and sunday market at 2 min. The private parking was really an avantage to visit the region with our kid. The flat is very clean, bright, nicely decorated. It is also modern with air conditionning, dishwasher, washing/drying machine, very good wifi, and central thermostat etc. The bed was very confortable, better than our own! There is really all you need in the flat, like coffee, oil, salt, products for the dishwasher, washing machine etc. which is an added value when travelling light, Andrea also kindly arranged a baby chair and baby bed for us. We were delighted by the special touches like the fresh fruits, bottle of water and bottles of wine when we arrived! It would be our pleasure to come back again in the region and stay in Andrea's flat. Thanks a lot! -- Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour à l'air bnb d'Andrea! Son père et lui ont été aux petits soins et tres réactifs pour répondre à toutes nos questions. L'appartement était parfait, situé dans le centre-ville, tout pres des activités touristiques, restaurants, avec des supermarchés, le marché couvert traditionnel et le marché du dimanche à 2 min. Le parking privé était vraiment un plus pour visiter la région avec notre enfant. L'appartement est très propre, lumineux et joliment décoré. Il est également moderne avec climatisation, lave-vaisselle, lave-linge / sèche-linge, wifi efficace et thermostat central. Le lit était très confortable, plus que le nôtre! Il y a vraiment tout ce dont on a besoin dans l'appartement, du café, de l'huile, du sel, des produits pour le lave-vaisselle, une machine à laver, etc. Ce qui est un réel plus+ pour voyager léger, Andrea a également arrangé une chaise et un lit bébé pour nous. Nous avons été ravis par les petites d'attentions comme les fruits frais, l'eau et la bouteille de vin quand nous sommes arrivés, merci beaucoup, nous reviendrons avec plaisir!

Andrea
Owner
Hi, we are Sarah, Andrea and Edoardo, a family of 3 now living near Milton Keynes in the UK.

I'm English and my partner Andrea is Italian and we lived for many years in Como (where Andrea is originally from) before deciding to move back to the UK.

We love travelling, and other than Italy we really love the wild coast of Portugal, fossil-hunting in Dorset and sailing in Croatia.

We love giving our guests a "home from home" feeling when they come on holiday and always offer help and advice on places to eat, things to do etc when they come to stay.
