Lovely house close to the lake with panoramic lake and mountain views

Casa Rossa offers lovely accommodation with amazing views of both lake and mountains and set within the rustic cobbled streets at the heart of the historic centre of Acquaseria yet only a short few minutes' walk to the nearest beach. Casa Rossa is stylishly furnished and equipped to a very high standard. Arranged over two floors, the entrance hall on the ground floor is warm & welcoming with a 'wine cellar' for you to enjoy - all we ask is that you replace any empty bottles for our next guests. The layout of the house is 'upside down' and the 2 bedrooms are on the ground floor. The master bedroom has a king sized double bed and the second bedroom has twin beds. Both bedrooms have efficient ceiling fans and share a small private terrace with lake and mountain views. A bathroom with shower completes the ground floor accommodation and a spiral staircase leads up to the first floor.
The first thing you will notice at the top of the stairs is the panoramic view before you. Patio doors running almost the full width of the front of the house open onto a private terrace - lake, mountains and sailing boats take up the entire vista (180 degrees and beyond). The terrace has a table and chairs and there are also a couple of sun beds for those who want to spend a lazy day 'at home'. It is a real sun-trap all year round and it's great to slide wide the doors and enjoy some indoor/outdoor living. The lounge is furnished with a soft brown leather sofa and armchair with co-coordinating cushions, rugs and throws. This is complemented by an antique wooden trunk with lamps and spotlights to showcase the wonderful wooden beams in the vaulted ceiling. A contemporary glass and chrome dining table completes the room. There is free wifi, and a flat screen TV with satellite channels. Weather conditions affect the signal but the TV has USB ports and scart sockets so feel to bring your own streaming device if TV is imperative. There is a DVD player which also plays CD's and a small selection of books, DVD's and games are available.
The kitchen is open plan so shares the view from the lounge and is fully equipped with fridge freezer, microwave, dishwasher and all the other kitchen essentials that you would expect from first class accommodation. The first floor also boast a very convenient second bathroom with shower and washing machine.
There are multiple free parking areas around the village close to the house but please note that the house is in the ancient Borgo which is a maze of cobbled streets with some steps and climbs which may make it difficult if you are of restricted mobility.

Beautiful Italian Experience
The views and atmosphere are fantastic. The accommodation is great. The only issue is the standard "staying in an old Italian place" problem - Parking. It would be a good improvement to have guaranteed parking for the accommodation.

Wonderful location,
Casa Rosa worked great for us, location was superb. Dealing with owner was a dream, the unit was as described and view outstanding. Parking was not a problem and it is close to nice resturants with good food. Allowed us to hike every day. Acquaseri is a wonderful village away from the tourist spots. Would definitely stay again

Casa Rosa was as described and perfect as a quiet place away from crowds but still an easy distance away from action if desired. Recommendations for places to eat and things to do really puts it over the top! We hope to get back someday!

Immersive experience
Though quite challenging to find, once we arrived we were all so pleasantly surprised. View is beautiful, apt set up worked so well with my daughter, myself and 2 adult grandchildren. Walking up the cobblestone steps was a workout we weren’t prepared for, but after doing it several times, our bodies adjusted. Cute little town, however, one of the 2 restaurants was closed during our stay. We rented a car, took ferry from town to town, ate at many nearby places. Really enjoyed cappuccino and croissants at local bar in the morning. Dawn was very responsive to all my questions; was greatly appreciated. Thank you

Stunning vista
We had a lovely break at this house. The views are lovely in the day and at night,. The house is in a good location although the village itself doesn't have a lot going on. We were just out of season , however, so may have more to offer in the busier times. We did enjoy the local bar and pizza restaurant and the local shops were great. This house is in a good position for visiting the area surrounding the lake. The ferry was in the next town, about 10 mins away by car. It was easier to get to all the other local attractions too. The house itself was well equipped and had everything we needed. Dawn was a good host and answered any questions we had very promptly. There was lots of info in the house and Dawn messaged us with other tips and ideas. Overall we had a great break and would stay here again

Fabulous Home
We visited Casa Rossa at the end of July and the view was more breathtaking than the pictures on the website. It was my husband and I and our two teenage kids. We had plenty of room and all the amenities. Dawn gave us such great recommendations. We loved our visits to nearby villages and our speedboat rental at AC Boat rentals was a highlight. We went out on the lake for 4 hours and loved it!!! I would stop at Carrefour for big groceries (10 min drive) before getting to Casa Rosa and then keep up with fruit from the local fruit vendor. He was super nice and his produce was gorgeous. For the Americans, don't touch the fruit, he will choose it for you and he knows better than we do. Have a fabulous stay!!! We did.

Splendid views on the lake
The apartment is well-equipped with everything you need, especially in the kitchen. Nice balcony with splendid views on the lake. The place is a little hard to find despite a genuine effort to guide guests with maps and photographs. People in the village are friendly and helpful. The big drawback was that there was no WiFi most of the time, which was not due to the antenna / router but rather a problem with the provider. Another less serious issue was that the parking garage could not be used, as a neighbor’s car took too much space. But there are public parking spaces.

Incredible Views of the stunning Lake Como
When we first arrived and drew back the curtains to the balcony we were blown away by the most amazing views of the Lake. It is quite breathtaking. The small but perfectly formed apartment was well appointed. Having said that the main bedroom is particularly large and it was great having the two bathrooms as we had two teenage girls with us! The village itself had a lovely bar with terrace at the rear. Great for sundowners overlooking the lake. Two good restaurants and a small general store, green grocer and butcher/cheese shop. The owner Dawn was very prompt to reply to any queries we had before we arrived and sorted out a couple of minor points we had when we arrived immediately which we were very grateful for.

Lovely apartment with great views
We loved staying here amongst local people, and the view of the lake and mountains was spectacular. We had great fun swimming in the lake near the property and the fruit shop and pizzeria at the bottom of the hill were a delight. Everything was easy and communication with Dawn was great. We would definitely stay here again but would probably hire a car for a little more flexibility. Finally, it was very refreshing to find an owner who didn't ask for extra funds on arrival for cleaning and possible damages. Overall a great apartment in a delightful area - thanks Dawn!

Formidable
Le logement est parfait : spacieux, très bien équipé (electroménager, ustensiles de cuisine, vaisselle, plaids, parasols, parapluie) tout y est! Comme chez soi. Les chambres sont équipées de ventilateurs au plafond, ce qui est très appréciable. Mais comme elles sont au premier étage elles restent fraîches. A noter que l’appartement est accessible après une bonne centaine de mètres en montée. Le village est superbe mais il demande un petit effort physique. La situation est idéale. Juste en bas il y a une petite plage agréable avec un petit restaurant. Il y a aussi un loueur de bateau qui permet de visiter le lac en bateau (ça vaut vraiment le coup!). Menaggio est à 10 minutes de voiture et de là on peut prendre le ferry pour aller sur Bellagio, Varenna et les autres villages. C’est superbe!

Toller Urlaub
Wir hatten eine super Zeit. Die Wohnung ist schön, sauber und gut eingerichtet. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war sehr gut, es gab immer schnelle Antworten und alles hat reibungslos geklappt. Der Ort ist toll, es gibt Bade- und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und die Kinder waren täglich im frei zugänglichen Cage Soccer sowie dem Tennis- und Basketballfeld. Die Parkplätze sind rar, aber das gehört zur typischen regionalen engen Bauweise. Wir waren rund um zufrieden und sprechen eine klare Empfehlung aus!

Toller Ausblick, aber zu heiß
Die Wohnung liegt in der Altstadt des Ortes. Hier kommt man nur zu Fuß die kleinen Gassen entlang. Vom Strand bzw. dem kleinen Ortszentrum muss man ca. 700 m bergauf gehen, was im Sommer anstrengend werden kann. Vom nächsten Parkplatz ist es nur ein kurzer Weg. Die Wohnung ist wirklich sehr gut ausgestattet. Es fehlte an nichts. Die Betten sind bequem. Der Ausblick vom Balkon ist zu jeder Zeit grandios. Was uns nicht so gut gefallen hat: der Kühlschrank scheint etwas überfordert zu sein. Ist außen sehr warm und kühlt nicht richtig. Die Terrasse ist eher ein Balkon. Mit Tisch und 4 Stühlen ist dieser voll. Hatten wir uns größer vorgestellt. Ein wirklicher Minuspunkt ist die Hitze in der Wohnung. Von unserer Woche hatten wir die meiste Zeit gefühlte 38 Grad Außentemperatur. In der oberen Etage waren immer mindestens 30 Grad. Das wird auf Dauer sehr unangenehm. Kochen war für uns daher nichr möglich. Im EG, in den Schlafzimmern war es besser. Schlafen ging allerdings nur mit dauerhaft laufenden Deckenventilatoren. Am vorletzten Tag/Nacht hat es sehr viel geregnet. Danach war das Klima sehr angenehm und auch in der Wohnung gut auszuhalten. Trotzdem danke für alles.
