Essentia Guest House

Surely a nice place, with a beautiful view, and the owner is gentle and available. On the other hand, there's. a visible lack of maintenance and housekeeping as per the attached photos. Various insects in the room's corners (mainly spiders and insects in the spiderwebs), the bed of the SUITE was a complete disaster, extremely squeaky we woke up during the night multiple times (and we are not picky people at all), and the pillow uncomfortable, which we could expect from a low/mid quality Motel but not from such an expensive "guest house" in the MAIN SUITE. Visible Tv cables in the main room. Good the Jacuzzi but there is a lack of maintenance in the back garden too. The food is average/low quality. It's also impossible to move from/to the structure without the owner's assistance and car.

The room was large a bedroom a sitting room and toilet/shower room. Plenty of space for two travellers and a child. The views are the attraction of this guest house just magnificent. We did walk down twice to the village centre to collect our car and back once, which was a struggle for us but it is doable. We would have appreciated more room in the bathroom for our toiletries and medicines. On the day we arrived a bottle of water would have been greatly appreciated we just did not have time to pick up a bottle. The breakfasts were fine just as we ordered them the night before and served at the time we ordered them. We ate once there and what we had was very good and the red wine was reasonably priced and very good. We would have eaten there more frequently but the menu did not change the nights we were there and it was quite limited. It is a good spot for touring the lake, Bellagio is not far away and from there you can get a boat to most places - villa Carlotta is well worth a visit. we did not see neither were we offered ant time in the spa tub not sure it was available.

Tercera parada, Lago Di Como. Sitio ideaaal, aunque para una noche no merece del todo la pena, por todo lo que hay que armar hasta llegar al hotel (a lo alto de una de las montañas que rodea el lago): el anfitrión muy servicial y amable, viene a recogerte a un punto concreto, un garaje (lugar que se tarda 20 minutos en coche desde Como); esto es así porque se necesitan coches muy estrechos y pequeños para llegar a la casita… toda una aventura, eso sí, alucinamos cómo cruzan las callecitas esos coches tan pequeñitos y a qué velocidad, como buenos italianos por supuesto😝. Se recomienda no llevar maletas grandes. La habitación grande era ideal, muy limpia, salón incluido y buen baño. Vistas emocionantes. A destacar el desayuno, tan preparado…muy rico el café italiano y los huevos revueltos😍 esto sí que lo hubiéramos repetido. Para la vuelta, vuelven acercarte al punto de encuentro, donde tienes el coche (de alquiler, en nuestro caso) aparcado.

Comment rester objectif ! Alors commençons par Redecilla del camino... Bon c est pas"La petite maison dans la prairie".... Mais plutôt le territoire de la nationale 120. Pas de commerces et la localité fait un peu penser à un village espagnol écrasé par la chaleur un dimanche après midi.... Personne !.. Mais il y a l albergue essential qui nous sauve de nos 6 ou 7 heures de marche. Hôte exceptionnel... Demander lui du bethoven au piano et Pink floyd à la guitare... Il excelle. C est super propre. Cuisine 5 étoile et accueil parfait. Après plus de 1200 km sur le camino frances assurément dans le top 3 des albergue visitées.

Schon die Anreise von Como aus in das kleine Örtchen Molina war fabelhaft in den engen Strassen am Meer. Der Besitzer Gianluca hat dich super frühzeitig per Whatsapp gemeldet mit alle. infos. Dann konnten wir an einem gesicherten Ziefgaragenparkplatz im Bergdörfchen parken und Gianluca holte uns mit seinem kleinen Panda 4x4 ab zu seinem Guesthouse. Die Fahrt dorthin war ein tolles Abenteuer pur. Dort angekommen genossen wir erstmal den traumhaften Ausblick. Später bereitete uns Gianluca dann ein tolles mehrgängiges Abendessen mit ebenfalls tollem Blick auf den Comer See. Am nächsten Tag reisten wir nach einem tollen Frühstück wieder ab und kommen gerne bald wieder.
