Reviews of Il Vicolo

Great location

We selected the superior one bed apartment with lake view, unfortunately if you go when the trees are in leaf you can’t see the lake!

Very central & plenty of space in the apartment to relax

Our juliette balcony was lovely sitting out there. The fridge was clean and good size. Plenty of storage in the bathroom. Good size studio. Sheets were a good quality and fresh. Fantastic position. Refreshing water. Air con was great. Comfortable pillows.

Dull lighting. Dish cloths very dirty and worn. Table runners were both stained and dirty. Old towels ‘looked’ like they hadn’t been washed, although they were clean.

Location, property style, cleanliness, friendly staff

One bathroom, but it’s ok

Absolutely loved the location, in the middle of everything. You can reach everything on foot. Great views in each direction. The host was very helpful, friendly and easy to deal with, great welcoming. Supermarket, backery, restaurants, shopping, taxis around the corner.

Elevator is a little bit slow, but should not influence your decision to stay here.

Great location. Well equipped Great host

Nothing

- Amazing location with a direct view on the cathedral - the balcony where you can sit et enjoy the sparrows - the equipment (AC/dishwasher/washing machine/coffee machine ...) - the check-in and out were really fast and the staff very helpful - overall we had a wonderful time in Como and this apartment is really great for a family

- the only negative point is that there wasnt a bathroom/toilet on the upper floor (we booked the duplex) which can be inconvenient during the night with young children. - there are noises (music, people talking) coming from the street but it didnt bother us at all and it's quite expected as the location is central.

We stayed here with our large family of seven and had a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic—right near the Duomo and surrounded by plenty of restaurants, cafes, and shops, all within easy walking distance. We felt very safe in the area and appreciated how clean and well-kept the apartment was. The views from the property were beautiful, adding to the overall charm of the stay. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, which made everything smooth from check-in to check-out. There was plenty of room for all of us to be comfortable, and we never felt cramped. It was a great home base for exploring Lake Como, and we would definitely stay here again.

Nothing!

Very clean, excellent location, helpful host

None

Close to everything except railway station 12 minute walk from Como S Giovanni. Advised to get a Taxi but they seemed reluctant to take the fare saying it was only a short walk. Streets laid out on a grid formation just walk straight ahead down the steps through park. You can cut over one block to the right by small church and large trees and then walk to Cathedral The apartment off a small side lane by Cathedral main entrance. Has air conditioning .

All Good.

Excellent location, modern and clean.

Very spacious and well equipped and very well located.

Unfortunately the main bed is not comfortable and extremely noisy when turning over in bed during the night or when just getting on/off the bed.

Spotlessly clean. Marvellous central location. Comfortable with modern fixtures and bedding.

Some noise at night and early morning but not too much for busy town centre. Stairs dark and lower elevator lobby was dingy.

Location was brilliant, very central for restaurants and activities. Air con in all rooms, very clean,. We had a 2 bed and 1 bed apartment. Host was very helpful.

Excellent location in the centre. Spacious and comfortable apartment and a comfortable bed. The lift made dealing with luggage easy.

It is disappointing that this superior room with lake views is only relevant when the trees have lost their foliage. There are no lake views during summer. We were looking forward to relaxing on the balcony, looking at the lake, but this was not to be. For most bookings, I would imagine this would be the situation and I don't think it should be promoted as a room with lake views..

Location as discribed, interiors as described, however appartment unfit for living due to unbearable traffic noise

Owner advertised lakeview in winter and with small trees. Now however lakeview is fully blocked by mature trees. Coastline, promenade and plaza also fully blocked since the trees are close to the building. Major 24h traffic route directly below the bedroom windows. Roaring busses made sleeping impossible. Windows are so thin, you can hear people talking in the street. Even the noise from the bypass road on the opposit side of the plaza, beyond the trees is still quite imposing. Large construcion, which is not declared in owner's owner add, directly opposit the bedroom windows. In the morning, construction noise further adds to the excessive noise problem. This appartment is unfit for rental!

The place was clean, the host greeted us and he was Friendly. Center of town good location. No issues, gave us a place to store luggage after check out to walk around until our train arrived.

Contemporary furnishings and modern conveniences. Very clean. Great location. Alexandro was very accommodating and helpful, as was Sergio.

Graet location!! Very nice apt. Well equipped.

The location was perfect! Central to everything in Como. The apartments were clean and well stocked.
