Residence Dorio

  : Fantastic location with a beautiful balcony and pool view, the host was also very responsive and friendly. Easy train links for getting around the lake - we would recommend to anyone wanting to explore the area.
  : Up a steep hill - very walkable with our backpacks but may be a struggle for anyone with more luggage!

  : very little
  : extremely outdated, cobwebs all over, very old furniture, up a very steep hill. It still shows pictures of when it was first built which was clearly a long time time ago

  : As expected, good view, spacious and clean
  : Parking a bit challenging with a big car, but we were able to find a spot outside so all good

Pleasant
Traveller Type:
  : The property has an exceptional view
  : The place and area in general has a lot of bugs and insects, and you will need a car to reach the property because you cant walk there by foot

  : The view was incredible from both the balcony and the pool. The apartment was equipped with everything we could need and has plenty of room for the 4 of us. The hosts were amazing. Replied very quickly and offered great service. The local restaurant in the village was lovely with great staff and good food/drink - this was a life saver as the only option for drinks later in the evening (from 9pm), although not open every day. The pool was lovely and we mostly had it to ourselves which was an added bonus. Although Dorio is slightly outside, it is easy to get around to the main towns via train and ferry. There are trains every hour which run up and down the lake. The village or Dorio itself is also very nice and I would recommend walking below the train line along the lake (took us a few days to find)
  : Most my negatives are out of the host control. The hill up to the property was very tough. We are young, fit people and we really struggled to get our luggage up there. The hill also refrained us from wanting to walk up it more than once a day so it determined a lot of our planning as we didn't want to come back and go back out again. If you struggle with fitness, walking etc I would recommend a car which is a shame because it's not needed for the rest of the trip. If the property offered a shuttle for the luggage up the hill when we arrived that would have been a massive benefit for us. It is difficult to get supplies too as you have to carry them up the hill. You also need to get a train to supermarkets so can't pop out easily. Public transport stops quite early so you will have to be back to Dorio by 9pm. Taxi's are extortionate in price (56-80EUR for a 10 minute journey). We got a quote from two taxi companies the hosts gave us the number for and there was a huge 30EUR difference which was odd. One night we got stuck without food as we planned on getting pizza at the local restaurant but it was closed so we had no option other than to order a pizza as there was no transport running. Great idea to offer a Pizza takeaway but unfortunately the food was horrendous. Considering we were in Italy and I am really not picky about Pizza, it was the worst I have ever had and was very expensive. The crust was like cardboard. Pool had cleaning equipment in it sometimes in the morning when we wanted to swim and weren't sure if we'd be allowed in

  : Its spacious and has an amazing view.
  : The swim and jacuzzi was on different floors than our flat. Also you can hear your neighbours since the walls are not noise insulated.

  : Great location, lovely apartment with a pool
  : The apartment would hugely benefit having aircon or fan in every room as it's very hot in a summer and one fan for whole apartment I'd not enough.

  : We liked Amazon Prime. View was really great.
  : We struggled with wifi last day. Parking and getting there is much easier with smaller car.
