Claudine was very responsive to all communications. The apartment was very clean and had nearly everything we needed. The view from the apartment is spectacular. The only downside is that it is not an easy place to find and the road to the apartment is very narrow. Once you have found it, all is well.

Thank you for your wonderful review. "Escale Incanto" enjoys an exceptional location. Situated on the Greenway, it is a true delight for hikers. It is close to magnificent sites such as Villa Carlotta, Isola Comacina, and Villa Balbaniello, accessible on foot or by boat; visits are therefore very easy for guests. For those who don't want to travel by car, the bus stop is located at the foot of the residence. The apartment offers many other advantages to those who stay there, which is why it is with regret that everyone leave "Escale Incanto" and its exceptional view of the lake and mountains. I have wonderful memories of you both and would be delighted to welcome you again. Kind regards, Claudine

A truly stunning location

Escale Incanto enjoys a fantastic position overlooking Lake Como, with a beautiful 180 degree panorama from the large balcony. The apartment is well appointed and spacious for a couple or young family (as we were), with great outside space and a lovely pool area. Sala Comacina is a pretty little village and is well placed to allow access to the beautiful lakeside towns nearby. Como and Milan are easily accessible, as are the regular ferries to other parts of the lake. A wonderful base from which to explore this spectacularly pretty area.

Thank you so much for your spontaneous comment. The position of "Escale Incanto" is strategic, unique not only for the fantastic view of the lake but also for trips to famous places or to the cities, for walks along the Greenway or in the pedestrian streets of the old Sala Comacina. The apartment and its outdoor spaces have been designed so that 4 people feel at ease and at the same time, can enjoy the extraordinary outdoor environment. I was very happy to welcome you and I would be pleased to see you for another fantastic holiday at Lake Como.

Very pleasant stay at Escale Incanto

We had a great stay at Escale Incanto. Claudine gave us a warm welcome and provided us with a lot of information about the village, the surrounding area etc. The apartment was very clean and cosy and had all the necessary equipment, also for our little boy . The view from the balcony was really magnificent!! The pool was a very nice extra and we enjoyed it very much. One small downside, it is not easy to get to the apartment with a buggy, since the road is very steep and there are a lot of stairs.

I thank you for this observation ; I will buy one that I will make available to couples like yours with a small child . From " Escale Incanto", the view on the lake and surrounding is unique and fascinating .

Fantastic views of Lake Como

Nice appartment with beautiful views. Claudine, the host, could not have been more helpful. She recommended a pharmacy and called ahead to speak to them in Italian for us. The apartment is very secure being gated and has its own garage. We liked Sala Comacina because it felt less touristy than some of the other towns on the lake but there are a lot of steps getting to and from the village! Thanks again to Claudine.

Beautiful Place

We enjoyed the spectacular view from our front balcony overlooking the Lake. Our hostess, Claudine, was very helpful, particularly getting us checked in and checked out and picked us up at the Bus Stop. Access is much easier if you have a car, as garage parking available. We came by train and bus. The only drawback is for people with any kind of mobility issues. The good news is the view is great, the bad news is that there are a lot of steps either going down to the village or up to the access road. But, if you are in good shape and have no mobility issues, it is a great choice.

Amazing views and local experience

We had an amazing stay! Our host was very helpful and gave us a personal tour and detailed explanation of the property at check in. The views from the balcony were breathtaking! I enjoyed having meals out there or a glass of wine. We had a car so could easily explore the area. However there are steep and narrow roads so beware if not confident driving or if you plan on walking on foot as there are not standard sidewalks and some spots you have to walk on narrow roads. We got use to this and also learned that we could take “the greenway” path which was safer but not lit at night. Pool was also very continent as swimming in lake como in area not ideal. We found the apartment older but well maintained and it had all conveniences present and was clean - we were able to use cleaning supplies provided to make sure it was clean to our standards which we didn’t mind. We would love to stay again in the future!

Beautiful Views and Lovely Apartment

The apartment is very nice with a gorgeous view of Lake Como. You can sit on the balcony and watch the boats on the lake with your morning coffee. You can watch the lights come on, as the sun sets, of the city across the lake, with a glass of wine. You can also see some of the magical events at the famous Villa Balbianello. The apartment is situated on a hill, so be prepared to hike some steps either up or down. I recommend renting a car in Como to make easier to travel around the lake. We used Aziz and his taxi service to travel around and he was excellent (+39 375 557 3459). Claudine Henry was an excellent host. She greeted us when we arrived and showed us around the apartment, and how everything worked. It has all the necessary amenities. She also showed us where and how to get to all the places that we were interested in seeing. We would highly recommend this apartment in Sala Comincina!

Fantastic holiday

We have had a fantastic time in "Escale Incanto" at Lago di Como. Before our holiday, Claudine sent us an excellent and very useful description how to find "Escale Incanto". Arriving there, Claudine has welcomed us very nice and friendly. She showed us the very beautiful appartment and explained all extras to us. The appartment has had everything we need: top equipped kitchen, flat iron, ironing board, clothes drying rack, washing machine... It was the first time we have had such an excellent equipped and cleaned appartment, so thank you very much for this, Claudine! Additionally amazing have been all the flyers, visiting cards of the restaurant around and Claudines explanation, which could be interesting for us. The view over Lago di Como has been amazing. We could enjoy it from the entry, the balcony and the garden. Sometimes it was really hard to turn away and stop enjoying this view. Fantastic, especially in the summer and the narrow Sala Comacina, has been the underground parking very close to the appartment. Anyway, we did not need the car every day. We could walk (a lot of stairs) down to Sala Comacina and the stop of the passanger ship haven't been to far away. After a hot day the big swimming was always fantastic. We have had two wonderful weeks in "Escale Incanto". Thank you very much Claudine!!
