A window over Lake Como - stone cottage with amazing view and private garden

Casa Alice is a two floors romantic stone cottage, recently renovated, with an amazing view over the lake Como, fresh private garden, barbecue, old watering hole and a stream that runs down the lake. From all the house windows and the garden there is an exceptional view over Lake Como. The neighborhood is very quiet, with limited car access. The peace and serenity of the place are exacerbated by the creek going slowly down.

Casa Alice can accommodate up to 4 people but it is ideal for couples or a family with two children.

On the ground floor there are the living area composed by kitchen and living room connected by a charming wooden frame and the full equipped bathroom (hairdryer included). The living room has satellite TV. The kitchen is equipped with dishwasher, toaster, microwave oven, coffeemaker and refrigerator.

Upstairs there is the master bedroom with a beautiful wooden roof. It has a double bed and a single one. On request it is possible to add another single or a children's bed.

On the basement there is a storage room for bicycles and sports equipment.

It is available a conditioner for the hottest days. 5 GB wifi internet traffic included at EUR 5.

The house has a garden overlooking lake Como with barbecue, deck chairs, table and sun umbrella.

Casa Alice is located in the heart of Piumona, one of the oldest and traditional area of Gravedona, on the northernmost part of Lake Como. Almost all the Piumona's traditional houses are stone made and gathered around the square where lies an ancient fountain fed by the brook during it's journey down to the lake Como.
From Casa Alice, it's garden and the pedestrian road, you can enjoy the magnificient view of Lake Como, from Bellagio to Colico and to the beginning of Valtellina and Valchiavenna.

Gravedona downtown is at less then 2 chilometer by car, about 20 minutes walking down, along pedestrian ways.
Gravedona is the star of northernmost part of Lake Como. You can visit the numerous churches, especially the Romanesque one Santa Maria del Tiglio and the Renaissance one Santa Maria delle Grazie. Inside medieval Palazzo Gallio there is always same show or exhibition to see.

You can walk along the pedestrian alleys that lead you to the main squares and the beautiful lakeside promenades. Summer's evening are filled by music, street markets and parties. Don't miss the 14 August fireworks show.

Restaurants, bars and ice-cream shops overlook the lakeside front.

Sports lovers can be satisfied in Serenella, a lakeside neighborhood with tennis and soccer playground, sailing school, swimming pool, beach, running trails. Bycicle's paths are available in the area, starting from lakeside promenades to difficult tracks on the mountain slopes.

Two playgrounds will be the joy of your children.

Menaggio and Cadenabbia, where there are ferries to Bellagio and Varenna, are about at 15 minute drive along beautiful and scenic coastal roads. Don't miss Villa Carlotta in Tremezzo and Villa Balbianello in Lenno.

Of course you can take a boat, a ferry or use public transport from Gravedona to every attraction of Lake Como.

Comfortable house with fantastic views
This is a property with a beautiful view of Lake Como. It was nice to meet Paulo and his father. Paulo was very friendly and helpful. The house was well kept and ideal for us and our daughter. It was very hot when we were there but the cooling unit in the bedroom helped. Gravedona was ideal for lakeside walks,the ferry, swimming and water sports. We are all a bit fitter having chosen to walk up and down the hill from the lake to the house!

Absolutely fantastic
This is the perfect location if you want a peaceful and relaxing holiday. The property is really old on the outside but really modern and clean on the inside. Everything you could reasonably hope for is provided. The views over the lake are amazing from both house and garden. Be aware though that you either need a car or be very fit to get into town. The path down is very pleasant but very steep. Paolo was a great host, happily meeting us at midnight to lead us to the property. He gave us some really good advice on places to visit in the area. Gravedona itself is a lovely, quiet, little town with bars and restaurants etc scattered along the Lakeside and within the narrow, steep cobbled streets leading from it. There is plenty of free parking available, some with time limits (get a disco orario from a newsagent) Of all the places I've been, this would be the closest to getting a 100% rating

Empfehlenswert!
Kleine, aber feine Ferienwohnung mit traumhaften Blick in einem idyllischen Ort am Comer See; ursprünglich und trotzdem modern. Ein sehr netter, zuvorkommender Vermieter, der auch im Ort wohnt. Für eine tolle Auszeit geeignet, gerade jetzt im Herbst war es wunderschön und nicht überlaufen.
