Scalcoggia Vacation Rentals

"We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Andrea’s apartment. It was even nicer in person than in the photos. The view of the lake was amazing from all the windows, it's amazing to have a shower with a view. We had some rainy days while we were there, but we didn’t mind too much because you could just sit and watch the lake from the huge windows in the living room, and also from the balcony that has a small roof so you can step out there even in rainy weather. The apartment has a wood pellet stove, which was very nice to have since we didn’t have such good weather. The kitchen is equipped with anything and everything you could need. Andrea was very kind and helpful, and it was very easy to communicate with him through WhatsApp. Overall it was an amazing stay, we would absolutely stay here again."

"Spotless room and service"

"Amazing hotel. Therme spa was the highlight. Really enjoyed myself, wished I could have stayed longer. Next time will come back in the summer. "

"Oreste and Veronica are gracious hosts with a warm and comfortable home in Vercana. The home is as-presented except that the pergola on the patio is now beautifully covered with jasmine, not the wicker shade. Good for families with a 2nd bedroom with bunkbeds & full-sized bed. Master bedroom has a comfortable king-sized bed and a window with that amazing view. Plenty of clothing storage for longer stays. Patio area is sturdily fenced with a self-locking gate (safe for children); soft, real grass (not astro-turf); a small garden plot with ornamental plants; rosemary for cooking. Outdoor dining table comfortable for 4-6 persons. Shower large enough for 2 people or an adult + child for getting the little-ones bathed – also comfortable for larger guests. Plenty of hot water. Good kitchen to cook in. No ice-maker that we saw and little room for ice trays in the freezer. Ask the owners about this – they may have a solution. Care has been taken to ensure a comfortable and stylish stay. Garage is good for smallish vehicles. Discuss parking needs for groups (4-6?) requiring larger vehicles. Fairly level entry & exit to garage - important for cars w/standard transmission. Our favorite time of day was morning coffee or evening cocktails outside with that magnificent view during the chiming of the church bells, which start nearby and continue sequentially down the lake valley, creating a peaceful and melodious moment that was charming and romantic. Thank you Oreste and Veronica!"

"First, be aware that you need to follow ALL of the signs that say, “Runchee.” Your GPS/Apple Maps/Google maps will NOT take you to the hotel/B&B. Parking is easy. Find the place is not. Breakfast: if your idea of breakfast is bread and butter, coffee and cake, then you’re in business. Don’t expect a real meal. I paid in advance and the lady running the place chased me down to pay for my stay. Mistakes happen."

"A lovey property with a beautiful view. I would highly recommend."

"We are very grateful to Paolo for his fantastic hospitality! We had an amazing view of Lake Como from the garden! The kids enjoyed the Waterfall which provided a refreshing dip after a very hot day! Overall a wonderful experience and delightful stay in Como"

"This was an excellent experience. Rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Breakfast was awesome. Gojko and his team were wonderful. All in all a perfect place to stay at."

"We really enjoyed the uniqueness of the apartment as well as the location. We had our two daughters with us (19 and 25), the bedrooms were a little tight, but we understood that would be the case when we booked. The check-in process was a bit tedious (first time I've had to send pictures of the water and electric meter before and after a stay). The architecture and decor of the apartment was well thought out and probably the highlight for us. The only negative part of our stay was the bugs (mosquitos mainly), we stayed in late June, so maybe it was just the time of year. There were no screens on the windows (understand this is common in Europe), but because of that we could not open the windows and the apartment was hot (one more fan would be nice). The only other minor complaint was the internet was not working. The owner was very prompt in reply, giving us things to try and even sending someone there to look at it. But it never worked for us during our 3 days there. I don't fault the owner for this, these things happen. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others."
