We stayed in the Faggeto Fantastico for more than a week during our trip to Lake Como in October 2019.
During our short trip to Lake Como we, unfortunately, had some bad luck with the weather and so we spent a lot of time inside the apartment. But given these circumstances, we made ourselves comfortable and appreciated the coziness of the apartment. Luckily there were also a few sunny days and all in all it was a wonderful time at Lake Como.

The Fagetto Fantastico has a modest collection of Italian furniture and decor. The apartment’s interior is modern and comes in bright colors. A spacious living room with two big couches and a round table are perfect for relaxation.
Internet and connectivity
The WiFi is working very well, which makes it attractive for working in the apartment or streaming movies in the evening.

The weather at Lake Como might also get cold early and late in the year. Therefore, the apartment is equipped with a heating system throughout all rooms.
For added comfort, a fan, an electric fan heater, and a dehumidifier are provided on top.

In the living room of Faggeto Fantastico, you’ll find a Smart TV with a soundbar, a Blue-Ray & DVD player, and several USB outlets to enable device connectivity. Even Netflix was usable during our stay (which apparently was quite important on rainy days).
