“The Perfect Lake Como holiday base!”
We booked flights to Italy before we had found any accommodation, and this was to meet with family to celebrate my Dad's 60th birthday. We fell in love with Il Mulino (The Old Mill) from the pictures, and when we arrived, the photos do not do it justice!! This made the perfect base for travelling around the lakes. The house was immaculate, and everything you could possibly think of needing in a self catering house has been provided. The kitchen was especially well equipped and we ate meals in the house most days. We visited Varenna, Como, Bellagio, Lezzeno from the house and all were within good travelling distance in a day. The lane is extremely narrow as described, and it did mean that we needed to find parking elsewhere for the larger vehicle we had hired, but this was easy and caused no issues. On the last day, we went to the restaurant of the Hotel Villa Aurora that manage the Old Mill. It was AMAZING!! Our only regret is not eating at this restaurant earlier in the week - the service was amazing, the views perfect and the food out of this world! We cannot wait to go back, it was a superb holiday. Many thanks to Margherita and her team - we absolutely cannot fault the hospitality!!
