The fat cats of foreign aid: Ministers 'to target consultants paid £500m by the taxpayer'
- Probe launched by International Development Secretary Justine Greening
- 'Poverty barons' making millions in consultancy fees from the aid budget
- Nearly £500m paid last year to firms working on Third World programmes
- PM pledge to increase aid budget to 0.7% of national income of GDP by 2014
- TaxPayers' Alliance: 'Looks like a very bad deal for the taxpayer'
- Tory right-wingers say money should be spent to help the needy at home
One firm profiting is London-based consultancy Adam Smith International
Probe: International Development Secretary Justine Greening has launched an emergency audit following revelations that 'poverty barons' are making millions in consultancy fees from the foreign aid budget
An emergency audit was opened last night into revelations that 'poverty barons' are making millions in consultancy fees from the foreign aid budget.
Nearly £500million was paid out last year to firms that work on Third World programmes. Some give their directors seven-figure salaries.
The probe was launched by Justine Greening, who was appointed International Development Secretary against her will in David Cameron's Cabinet reshuffle this month.
Miss Greening, who is an accountant
by training, has demanded a rapid explanation of apparently extravagant
spending and is said to be going through the Department for
International Development's budget 'line by line'.
will be sure to bring an accountant's eye to DfID and will be looking
extremely closely at every single area of spend to ensure value for
money for the British taxpayer,' said one source.
'She has ordered a full report on all the issues that have been raised on her desk by the end of the month.'
One of the firms to profit from the
ring-fenced aid budget is Adam Smith International.
The London-based
consultancy, which promotes the free market in poor countries, has
received contracts worth tens of millions of pounds in a single year.
work includes building schools in Pakistan, developing the free market
in Nepal and reforming the tax system in Afghanistan.
Young, a director of both ASI and its parent company Amphion Group,
made more than £1million in 2010. He receives a salary of £250,000 and
paid himself a dividend of £800,000 two years ago.
Defending his payout to the Mail, he said it was a one-off dividend accumulated over many years, adding: 'I don't think it's particularly helpful to take pot-shots at success.'
Mr Young, who lives in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, said: 'For a very modest outlay the tax revenue of the Afghanistan government has gone up to £2billion.
'I don't know if you think it would be better to hand the few million it cost to do that to the people in Afghanistan?
'When people think about aid they think about just handing out money to people, but it's more complicated than that.
was one occasion where we were paid out a substantive amount in
dividends that represented profits from a number of years.
William Morrison: £1m dividend
Andrew Kuhn: Paid £125,000
Peter Young: £800,000 payout
Amitabh Shivaastava: £1m
William Morrison: The 41-year-old Bristol University graduate has worked on economic reform in Bangladesh, Pakistan and India and helped set up the post-war government in Iraq.
His basic pay at Adam Smith International is around £150,000 but two years ago he took a dividend from the consultancy of more than £1million. He lives in upmarket Lewes in East Sussex.
Andrew Kuhn: An economist, he has worked in the Palestinian West Bank but is currently in charge of Adam Smith's work in Afghanistan.
He also banked a dividend of more than £1million two years ago and is on a basic salary of around £125,000. Home is a flat in fashionable Earls Court in central London.
Peter Young: As head of strategy and operations for Adam Smith, Mr Young, 53, boasts expertise in 'resource allocation'.
He is on £150,000 a year and claimed an £800,000 dividend in 2010. He has a luxury home in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
Amitabh Shrivastava:
The 43-year-old has toured 25 of the world's most impoverished
countries, including Rwanda and Sierra Leone, and boasts particular
expertise in 'making markets work for the poor'.
His annual salary is also in the £125,000 range, again boosted by a £1million-plus dividend two years ago.
He lives in affluent Wimbledon in south-west London, but was yesterday working in Afghanistan. He declined to comment.
our company makes relatively modest profits for doing a very
difficult and challenging job in very difficult and dangerous places.
you think no one should make a profit out of that sort of activity?
It's like saying no one should make a profit out of the medical sector,
or judicial system.'
William Morrison, the managing director of ASI, received a salary and dividends worth £1.3million in 2010. Directors of the firm are on an average of £125,000 each, while contractors earn up to £850 a day.
A fellow director of Mr Young and his colleagues at ASI is former Tory defence secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind, whose party takes a stern line on wasteful foreign aid.
Yesterday, Sir Malcolm, 66, did not respond to a request for comment.
In need: Nearly £500million of taxpayers' money was paid out last year to firms that work on Third World programmes. Some pay their directors seven-figure salaries
Another firm which was paid around £6million from DfID last year is a subsidiary of the Marie Stopes abortion rights charity.
It carried out work in India, Africa and Nepal. Its highest paid director was on £233,000 – £80,000 more than the Prime Minister.
The highest paid director at another consultancy, Maxwell Stamp, doubled their salary and is now on £326,000.
Good intentions: But is Britain's aid budget falling into the wrong hands?
The firm raked in £16.4million for its work on legal services in Bangladesh and discouraging child marriage in Ethiopia.
Foreign organisations have also cashed in. Washington-based Search for Common Ground took nearly £4million for providing support to the 'electoral cycle' in Sierre Leone.
The Clinton Foundation has also taken a slice of a £200million contract to advise on forestry while consultancies in Uganda and India are also winning contracts.
David Cameron has pledged to increase the aid budget to 0.7 per cent of national income of GDP by 2014. That would see DfID's budget rise from around £8billion to more than £12billion.
That pledge has yet to be enshrined in law and Miss Greening's appointment could make it less likely that it will be fulfilled.
The growth of the budget has angered Tory right-wingers who believe taxpayers' money should be spent on helping cash-strapped families at home who are struggling with the recession.
Matthew Sinclair, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: 'Ministers have insisted that they need more money to help the world's poorest, but taxpayers will be appalled that hundreds of millions of pounds is being channelled to pricey consultancy firms.
'Sometimes external expertise can be useful, but systematically spending these vast sums on consultants looks like a very bad deal for the taxpayer.'
Millions on India HQ... just as handouts stop
By Daily Mail Reporter
Gratitude: Indian finance minister Pranab Mukherjee described Britain's £280million a year as 'a peanut in our total development exercises'
Britain is spending millions building a foreign aid headquarters in New Delhi, even though our annual aid handout to India of £280million is expected to stop in 2015.
The massive aid bill came into question after it was pointed out to ministers that booming India is so rich it now runs its own space exploration programme and dishes out foreign aid itself amounting to £2billion a year.
India even said it neither wanted nor needed the cash, with finance minister Pranab Mukherjee describing Britain's £280million a year as 'a peanut in our total development exercises'.
But despite the row, and the imminent demise of British aid to India, the Government is now spending a fortune on the new base.
Opening next month, the HQ will sprawl over 40,000sq ft – the size of a hypermarket – and will incorporate 18 meeting rooms and 280 desks. The furniture bill alone will be £400,000.
A spokesman for the Department for International Development said the offices were being shared with the British High Commission and would save money for taxpayers in the long run, despite the high start-up costs.
He added: 'The struggle to squeeze our staff and High Commission officials into one building meant more compact furniture had to be bought.'
Last year the DfID spent £900,000 on hotels – many of them five star – and spent some of its £280million budget for India on payouts including £20million to two consultancies so they can advise India on how to run its health service.

Lindsay Mitchell calls this benefit camouflage…I call it stealing from the taxpayer…they had no need for the benefit, even though they were conducting an illegal business.
Here's a perfect example of people using a benefit as camouflage (albeit not a very successful one). I mean they surely didn't need the money.
Three solo mothers, one of whom is known locally as "the queen of green" and is seven months pregnant, have been sent to prison for a cannabis operation that netted them up to $340,000 in four months last year for selling "tinnies" from a state house in Napier.
A "tinny" is a small tinfoil-wrapped package containing between 0.6 and 1.2 grams of cannabis, which sells for about $20.
Business was so good during the four months that they sold a $20 tinny every minute and the number of customers so great that their cars would clog up the street…… The four offenders, who are all beneficiaries, appeared for sentencing before Judge Tony Adeane in Napier District Court last week.

Iowa has transformed its agricultural economy over the past 50 years to a diversified one that covers a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, food processing, financial services and biotechnology. Des Moines is a major financial services hub, with big employers like Principal Financial and Wells Fargo. Iowa's average five-year unemployment rate is fifth best in the U.S. and a reminder that the state fared better than most during the recession. Iowa scores strongly on both regulatory environment and business costs, which are 10% below the national average. More »

300+ te Huur · Nesso
Très content de notre séjour chez Silvya et Gigi. L'appartement est refait à neuf avec beaucoup de goût. La situation est parfaite dans un village à 20 km de Bellagio. Pas de probleme avec le parking, ce qui est un atout . La vue de l'appartement sur le lac est magnifique. Les hôtes sont très gentils. Merci encore.olgaMay 2016
The apartment itself was amazing. It was very beautiful and modern and the location was magnificent. Silvia gave us a very warm welcome and we got to meet Gigi a bit later on the day. They were very nice people and ensured us we could always contact them when we needed to. We had to call them at 10 pm when a storm made the power go off, but Silvia and Gigi were very happy to help! Nesso is a very quiet little village and about a 20-25 minutes drive away from Como, the biggest city nearby. I would recommend this place to anyone.GuusJune 2016
AMAZING!!! We had out little Honeymoon at Como Lake and it was just perfect. The apartment is directly at the lake so we had the best view. The apartment is lovely, you see and feel that everything has been made with love. Silvia and Gigi were great host. They showed us everything and gave us some great tips. We will definitive come back.NataschaJuly 2016
Thank you so much for hosting our stay in your beautiful apartment. We loved it! The apartment was very spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped. We really appreciated the many thoughtful touches e.g. the little torch and sewing kit in the bedroom and the delicious bowl of fruit and milk and juice on arrival. Also, the location was perfect - right next to the lake, near to the village and swimming area. Thank you for your helpful suggestion for restaurants and information to help us get around. We had a blissful weekend and were so sorry to leave. We hope to see you again another time! Best wishes Tracey and MichaelMichaelSeptember 2016
I can't begin to express enough how wonderful this experience was at Silvia and Gigi's apartment!!! From the moment I booked to the moment we left Italy they were so helpful with every query I had and made us feel so welcome when we were there. They picked us up from the airport upon arrival and also dropped us back for our return flight which I cannot thank them enough for. They kindly left materials in the apartment providing us with info on buses, restaurants, things to do etc. The apartment itself is absolutely beautiful. It is tastefully decorated and is spacious enough for up to 4 guests. It was clean, comfortable and we loved every aspect of the place from the wooden beams to the doors opening onto the lake! The views of the lake are absolutely stunning. Especially from the bedroom. Pictures just do not do this place justice; it has to be seen firsthand. We loved every minute spent in the apartment. Silvia and Gigi had also kindly left us some pastries and fruit and juice etc. This was very welcome! The apartment was in a perfect location between Bellagio and Como. We found it easy to get to the nearby towns via bus. I wish we had stayed here longer. Our trip to Lake Como was perfect and I'm sure this has a lot to do with Silvia and Gigi's excellent hospitality. Thank you both so much. We will be back!SabaJuly 2016
Tolles Apartment, nette Gastgeber, wir kommen bestimmt wieder!AndreaAugust 2016
My two sisters and I stayed 4 nights in your lovely flat, and we enjoyed it very much. It was a wonderful view out over the sea and we loved exploring the nice little town Nessa. We went to the little grocery nearby every morning to buy fresh bread and fruit and loved the charming old and narrow streets. We also took the boat for a trip on the sea, amazing view! We were almost sad to leave your cosy flat and hope to come back some day. Thank you very much for the stay!Inghild UrsinAugust 2016
My friends and I had the most amazing time at The Blue Boat Apartment! All the pictures were exactly true and what we experienced. I am particularly a picky person especially when it comes to cleanliness. And this place surpassed my expectations 100 times over! We cooked dinner a couple of nights shopping from the 2 nearby supermarkets. There were plenty of pots, plates, bowls for all 4 of us. We used the dishwasher which was very helpful too. The hosts were extremely quick to respond to any questions I had. They were gracious enough to pick us up from the train station and even provided fresh fruit, flowers, juice and milk in the fridge upon our arrival. Hearing the water hitting the lake was so relaxing and soothing. The views were spectacular. We took the ferry to Bellagio/Menaggio and the bus to Como center. Both were convenient. I highly recommend this hidden gem and would go back to The Blue Boat Apartment in a heartbeat! I didn't want to leave this magical place!CathyOctober 2016

We had a great stay here. Nesso is a beautiful village and Casa di Ada is a great apartment to get a feel for the area. The perfect place to relax!PaigeSeptember 2016
Nous avons passe un tres bon moment a Nesso et au bord du lac de Come. Ce qui nous a beaucoup plu, est la chambre separee pour les enfants, et la chambre des adultes, permettant a chacun d avoir son espace le soir. La cuisine est tres fonctionnelle et tres pratique lorsque l on veut cuisiner pour les enfants. L appartement est tres pratique pour les proprietaires de chat: carrelage par terre, ouverture sur la ruelle tres calme. Les indications de Sonja, ses reponses tres rapides ont ete tres agreables. Et l accueil de Laura est tres amical, ponctuel, et detendu. Le diner magnifique dans son home restaurant au bord du lac est une superbe introduction au Lago d'Como!cecileOctober 2016
We had a wonderful time at Adas House! The village is beautiful and the view from the terrace just stunning. Everything was as described, and Laura gave us a warm welcome. You can take the boat from Nesso to Como or drive to Bellagio in 20 minutes to cross the lake from there to Varenna or Menaggio. You could not find a better place to stay! We definitely recommand Adas House to everyone who wants to have a beautiful time at Lake Como.StefanieSeptember 2016
The place and the area were fantastic. It rained the entire time, but we walked in the rain with no problem, beautiful scenery, friendly local people etc. There is a great little grocery store minutes away to walk... the woman there was very friendly and helpful, a great selection of fresh produce, wine, dairy, meat if you eat it, and packaged goods.Sue October 2016

The host did a great job communicating about the arrival time and was super flexible - we changed the arrival time. It was a very spacious place for my wife and I and would be comfortable for 4 if needed! I cannot say enough about the location. It was absolutely everything that we wanted, very quiet and a spectacular view of the lake from every window of the house as well as the patio of course! It is somewhat tricky to find and there are a good amount of stairs to go down to get there but that's only because it is so close to the water! overall I loved the place and wish I could stay longer! If I go back I will look to book it again!DanielJuly 2016
The house has a very beautiful view and the person hoste us has been very helpful. We are quite enjoy the quite night and have well sleep there. Had better buy some food if you arrive very late Saturday or Sunday because the only grocery store nearby will be closed.Ming HueiNovember 2016

Serenas chalet is hugely picturesque and unique. From the seats, to the table, to the sink, it is truly special. It was a great experience to stay in what I believe is an old mill; the house and the village of Nesso truly make you feel like you have stepped back in time 100 years, so it is the perfect place for some R&R. Serena was away when we visited, her mother picked us up from the bus stop and drove us a short drive up the hill to the house. She made us feel welcome and explained everything about the house and area really well. The bed is comfortable and the balcony overlooking the stream is a great feature, during warmer weather it would be nice to have breakfast out there. Serena provided all the necessities to cook a meal; pasta, oil, tinned tomatoes etc. Also coffee, water, beer, champagne and breakfast were all provided. Nesso is a small, typically Italian village. Just the one restaurant, 3 bars, a few grocery stores and a pharmacy. The bus service is great around Como and runs regularly through Nesso, so you can catch the C30 from Como which also runs right to Bellagio which is nice to visit for the day. You must of course see the Roman bridge which is about 300 steps down from the main road, with great views of the waterfall and lake, it's very serene. Overall I would 100% recommend this listing, you won't be disappointed.GedOctober 2016
Serena was very hospitable. There was a bottle of champagne waiting for us upon arrival and she had gone as far as buying us dinner when she heard we would be arriving late.RonaldJuly 2016
Very good! We enjoyed our holiday at Al Mulino!MarcOctober 2016
io e la mia ragazza abbiamo passato un fine settimana presso il Mulino di Serena. l'abitazione é davvero particolare e permette un soggiorno unico, dalla veranda la vista é ottima, é stato un piacere farci colazione. Serena e stata disponibilissima, dall'aspettarci al parcheggio al darci indicazioni sulla casa e sui dintorni. Trovare una bottiglia di vino e l'indispensabile per colazione/pranzo é stata un'ulteriore bella trovata non da tutti.FabrizioSeptember 2016
Great place, quite unique , would stay again !!!Leonardo COctober 2016
Ottima accoglienza, ambiente molto ben ristrutturato. Consigliatissimo !saraSeptember 2016
This place was delightful and Serena was an excellent host with great communication. The only slightly thing you need to be careful of is the Airbnb location details will not be accurate when copied into (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN). So double check you have the correct address with Serena as a mistake may cost you an hour and 30 minutes detour.BhupinderJuly 2016
Serena was super friendly, kept checking in on us on our way there, and received us in town in an easy to find place and took us to a free parking spot at her place first and then to Il mulino, where she had left a bottle of sparkling wine to receive us and some basic cooking and breakfast supplies, which is a nice touch. She was nearby and available during our stay, even though we didn't need to call her. Nesso is ridiculously pretty, as is the general area of the Italian lakes. DO NOT miss the pontino and waterfall if you stay here - ask Serena - you need to walk down to the lake to see it. The apartment is rustic, that's the whole point. And it's fantastic in terms of atmosphere, including a terrace to have breakfast by the mountain torrent which we loved. Waterfall noise is not a problem, the windows do a really good job of bringing it down to a lullaby level. We loved it. The facilities are as spotless and clean as you can be in an old stone building in a small Italian mountain village. It is however in a little canyon next to a waterfall and without much sunlight getting through the thick stone walls so it was a bit damp. Not enough to really bother us, but a de-humidifier would be a stellar adition. Overall it was a lovely experience considering we only stayed two days and one night. We loved Nesso. As you can see yourself from the pictures (which are 100% accurate) and Serens description, this is best suited for people who like rustic and atmospheric places. If that's your thing, this is not to be missed. Thanks Serena for your hospitality!PabloSeptember 2016

Leuk en net appartement. Prima als tussenstop om de omgeving te verkennen. Wij dachten aan de foto te zien dat de accommodatie en tuin had bij het meer maar dat is niet zo. Wel kan je daarheen wandelen, het is een terein dat van de eigenaar is. Enige nadeel is dat je raam direct naast t straatje is en de mensen op straat nogal luidruchtig kunnen zijn.EstherSeptember 2015
Es war ein super Aufenthalt. Die Wohnung ist zweckmässig, am Morgen kann es laut sein (Ohrstöpsel nicht vergessen...) und mit dem Auto ist es in den engen Gassen nicht jedermanns Sache, aber es lohnt sich. Vor allem den Privatstrand, also einen Strand ist es nicht aber ein Paradies auf Erden und genauso wie auf den Bilder wenn nicht besser. Man fühlt sich in einer anderen Welt. Einfach einmaliger Platz direkt am See mit 4 Einstiegsbuchten, diverse Schattenplätze mit Liegestühlen, ruhe, kein Mensch weit und breit, ab und zu ein Boot welches vorbei tuckert. Sogar ein Dusche hat es! Den Abstieg von der Strasse herunter erfolgt durch Oliven-, Zitronen-, Pfirsiche-, und Figenplantage. Einfach traumhaft. Man kann auch einen Stuck mit dem Bus fahren, muss also bei grosser Hitze nicht 1,5 km der Strasse entlang laufen. Wir gingen am Abend noch nach Bellagio mit dem Bus und das ist auch eine Reise wert. Danke Cinzia, es war wunderbar! Lise und StephanLiseAugust 2015
Appartement propre, bien équipé et joliment décoré. Supérette, boucher et bistro à proximité. Ceci rend la vie très facile dans une ville construite sur une forte pente ! Par contre, ça peut être bruyant le soir et le matin. Les ruelles de Nesso ont du charme et la ville est très bien placée entre Côme et Belagio. Nous avons pu prendre facilement le bus et le bateau à partir de Nesso pour nos visites. Cinzia nous à accueilli avec gentillesse.PeterJuly 2015
Cinzia was very nice and welcoming. The room was clean and tidy, and it was just as it looked in the pictures. It's a basic room with kitchen and bathroom, and if you're just looking for a place to sleep, this is good enough. There's a grocery store and a bar (Cafe) just downstairs. It's nice to have close by but also creates quite a noisy morning, since all the cars and mopeds park right under your window. The highlight of this place is CInzia's farm. It's a beautiful terrace farm that goes down all the way to the lake. We came with our car, and parked inside. From there you walk down the terraces passing lovely lemon trees, until you get to the bottom, where you'll find beach beds in the shade, right on the water. It's a beautiful, quiet spot, all to yourself. The only thing I might note is that the access to the water is not ideal. It's a stone slab and some might feel uncomfortable with it. I sure didn't mind, I took a dip and the water was great. This makes this listing worth much more than the room it provides.AlonJuly 2015
The apartment is small but clean and nicely decorated. It has everything you need. It is located in the center of the little village, there is a bar and an alimentari on the opposite side. Cinzia was really very friendly and helpful. She brought us to her beautiful farm (some minutes away from the apartment) where we spent the whole day relaxing in the sun and swimming in Lake Como. She even lent us her towels because we forgot to bring our own. Don`t miss the farm, it is fantastic. It is a big area but very private, we really enjoyed staying there.KarlJune 2015
Cinzia was extremely helpful in communicating to us throughout the process or arrival, check in, during our stay and departure. The apartment is simple and cozy but has everything you need. The village is authentic and quaint to give you an amazing feel of Nesso. Cinzia gave us access to her exquisite farm which was very generous and gorgeous.MarkOctober 2016
The apartment was very beautiful and cozy. All kitchen appliances included. The neighbourhood was very quiet, next to small supermarket and free parking. Cinzia offers free visits to her ecologic garden and private beach. (two km from Nesso's downtown ) She was very nice and helped us to find the place with clear instructions. I highly recommend this apartment and village in order to explore the rest of Como's lake.AnaJune 2016

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time in Nesso at Domenico's place. The apartment exceeded our expectations, it was luminous, spacious and even the knives were sharp. Nesso is truly a diamond in the rough and cannot be overrated with serene waterfalls in the woods, picturesque places around every corner and a welcoming community of locals. Finally, Domenico and Nadia were the most welcoming and warm-hearted hosts. Even when we arrived very late in Nesso due to traffic, they guided us to the apartment and made sure that we had everything we needed. We highly recommend this apartment!RobertSeptember 2016
Domenico and Nadia were perfect hosts: Very nice and friendly, flexible even when you arrive late and always there if you have questions or problems! The flat was very spacious and clean with everything you need (washing machine, dish washer etc.) in a really beautiful neighborhood! I would always come back!KaddaAugust 2015

The apartment is absolutely magical! It's just down a small cobbled street from a beautiful old church, and the view of the lake and surrounding mountains is lovely. Inside, the kitchen is very well-stocked, the apartment is well furnished (loved the double-reclining couch!!) and everything is newly renovated and clean. Meanwhile, Nesso is a great place to stay on the lake, with some great hikes, restaurants, and historical buildings to check out. There's also a pizza/seafood place just uphill from the apartment that was delicious. Rosa is friendly and responsive, altogether a great host. Do yourself a favor and stay here! If we could have, we would have stayed for weeks. :)BrendanJune 2016
Perfect place for a romantic stay around lac como. Rosa made us feel at home and was very (very very) kind and welcoming (thank you again for your patience!!). the appartment is exactly as depicted and the litle terrasse is ideal for enjoying the vue with some aperol spritz and a few slices of italian specialties.pierre alexandreAugust 2016

Ecaterina was very helpful is sending us directions and instructions prior to arrival. She showed us into the house and gave lots of info about the local area. She also left us some bits and pieces in the house, milk, butter, jam etc. The house is only accessible by car but the drive is worth it. Situated in a beautiful little village up an endless series of hairpins. The house is accesed via a litle alley. The highlight is the balcony which has stunning panoramic views along the lake and valleys. The apartment is basic but clean and comfortable, the well supplied wood burner makes it very cosy. An excellent restaurant is just round the corner (Bella vista) and you can go for some picturesque walks in the woods just behind the village. Bellagio is only 30min away. A calm, beautiful spot to Base oneself in the lakes region. A slice of real Italy.WilliamOctober 2016

Beaucoup de charme pour cette petite maison, parfaitement conforme à la description et aux photos. Nesso est une bourgade très calme, à l'abri de la cohue. La plage est toute petite mais elle est vraiment à deux pas de la maison, idéale pour piquer une tête après une journée de visite. Nous n'avons pas eu le plaisir de rencontrer notre hôtesse qui était à l'étranger, mais son amie nous a très bien accueillis et s'est montrée très disponible.sylvieAugust 2016
Le logement proposé par Miriana correspond exactement à la description. Il est très bien agencé pour une semaine de vacances, rénové et meublé avec goût. Et surtout... idéalement placé pour profiter du lac. La chambre donne directement sur celui-ci, et les deux balcons permettent de profiter d'une superbe vue, le temps d'un apéritif ou d'un petit déjeuner. De plus, une petite placette donnant directement accès au lac se situe à quelques pas... Le logement est très spacieux pour deux personnes, et convient également à une famille avec deux enfants (un grand lit+2 lits simples). Nesso est un petit village au calme olympien, idéal pour se reposer, mais également pour profiter du lac, grâce à ses petits chemins donnant sur un panorama spectaculaire. Pour résumer : aucune hésitation pour ce logement et cet emplacement idéaux !MaximeSeptember 2016
We had a great time at the Lake of Como! We stayed in Mirianas apartment in Nesso for a week and had everything we needed. The place seems to be newly renovated and has its own charming style. The kitchen ist fully equipped. There are two loggia / balconies with lake view, one of them ist really nice, the other one looks over a small stone beach, frequently used. The apartment has one double bed on the second floor and two beds in the room just by the entrance. There are in fact no rooms, so no door to close in order to separate the living room from the bedrooms. Its more like a loft. The only thing we missed was wifi as there is almost no mobile data reception in Nesso. Nesso is a very old and small village, with stone houses, stone streets, bridges and so many stairs!!! And many nice views! We found just one small grocery, one restaurant and a pharmacy by the main road. There are also a couple of bars near by. The people are very friendly and welcoming! Ask for Laura when you are in Nesso, as she cooked for us the best home made lasagne and risotto!PetyaSeptember 2016

The house and the view is beautiful and Miriana and her house keeper is very helpful. There is not much sun on the two balconies, but there is a small public plateau 10 meters from the house from where you can swim, enjoy the sun and the sunset together with the locals. Nesso is very small with many stairs, but there is a small shop close by, private parking and a few sights to see to. Nesso is less touristy than other cities, which is wonderful.AnnaAugust 2016
From my first communications with the host to the depositing of keys, everything went smoothly. If you are looking for a restful retreat in sublime surrounds this is the place! From every window there is a breathtaking view of the lake. Your hardest decision is which living area to have an afternoon Spritz or will you step a few down a few cobble stones to the lake of a dip.NandaAugust 2016

We had a great time at Giulia's apartment, the view on the lake is amazing. It's very nicely furnished and Nesso is a great starting point to discover the lake.GunnarApril 2015
Beautiful! Stunning! Romantic! Picturesque! This apartment has the most stunning views of Lake Como, with French doors either side of an open log fire, you couldnt ask for a more romantic scene. Our host ensured we had plenty of wood to keep us going throughout our stay, and welcomed us in true Italian style, a bottle of red :) The apartment has everything you need; functional kitchen, clean and tidy bathroom and central heating. The apartment is located in Nesso, a short 15 minute drive from Bellagio, a beautiful lakeside town with fantastic cafes, bars and restaurants. Nesso is also a little over an hour from Milan Malpensa airport - perfectly suituated to spend a day in Milano if you wanted (we did). Definitely hire a car and take the Bellagio ferry over the lake to Cadenabbia and take a drive around the stunning, multimillion dollar lake side houses. George Clooney owns a stunning property on this side of the lake. All in all, if you're looking for somewhere to take the women of your dreams, take her here to this apartment, to the location she would have dreamt of as a girl.NDecember 2015
We had a lovely time here, but there's a lot to be aware of before booking for more than a few days. The view is indeed incredible. You cannot tire of it! However the apartment is not only very old fashioned (I think one can live with this), but actually very old and often quite dusty. The kitchen isn't well equipped for anything except making pasta. There are various appliances that need checking and replacing and nothing in the kitchen felt particularly clean. The biggest issue for us is that the apartment is advertised as having air conditioning but this isn't the case. It was 36+ degrees (C) and we had a 9-month-old baby, so this was a big frustration and disappointment for us. There is just a small table fan in the bedroom, but it's such a tiny room, it was awkward to try and place it to help our baby sleep. It also meant that my husband and I melted (and didn't actually sleep at all), as we didn't have any air blowing on us all night. I suppose it would have been less of a problem if we didn't need to 'share' the fan, and could have moved it around the apartment. It's a shame there's no balcony, and it's just open windows for the view. Once dusk sets, you need to close the windows so the mosquitos and bugs don't fly in (we made this mistake on the first night, and boy was it a mistake). So again, we just melted, it was so uncomfortable. The apartment has a fireplace, so I imagine this is a cosy place in the winter when you don't need to worry about the heat and bugs but can still enjoy the view. Nesso has many steps to everything, and there isn't always a pavement, so if you're relying on walks with the buggy, it's actually quite dangerous (much like the rest of the coast). There are also A LOT of steps up and down to the apartment and the pool. Nesso is really well placed between Como and Bellagio, both of which made for great day trips (we had our own car). Rosetta the porter was lovely and helpful. The welcome bottle of wine on the dining table was a nice touch too. The apartment has the evening sun, and is cool in the mornings. The pool is great, clean and has a beautiful view. The water temperature was good too, even for little babies and the WIFI worked fine every day. This is by no means a 'bad' place to stay; on the contrary, we had a great time. You just need to be aware of the little things that accumulate, especially if you're staying more than a few days and/or you have children. Seven days was too long for us here, the heat, steps and age of the apartment took its toll on us, but for just a few days it probably would have been fine.FrancescaJuly 2015
The apartment is in great condition and clean and exactly as advertised. The location and the view from the living room are in one word: amazing. We were not receive by Giullia but the concierge Rosetta, and she told us about the important things about the house. In the apartment there are more information about the Como lake area and the restaurants around Nesso. Nesso is a small village and hence you are more likely to go to Como or Bellagio (picturesque villages), where you can admire more touristy things. General terms: we are at home in Nesso and Giuilla's apartment very much. We will definitely return in the future.Joe HokAugust 2015
We loved this apartment! The views were exactly what we needed for a relaxing vacation on Lake Como. Positives: - Two mini-balconies that gave a lot of light & gorgeous views - Going for late-afternoon swims at the pool - Strong wi-fi - Easy & timely check-in process The only drawbacks were 1.) there actually isn't air conditioning & the afternoon sun makes the apartment warm and 2.) the bathroom sink stopped draining on our first day & wasn't fixed during our stay. However, neither of these stopped us from loving our stay in Nesso. Thank you, Giulia, for sharing your beautiful apartment with us. Suggestion: - If you're considering this apartment, know there are a lot of steps up from the ferry. If you have luggage you don't love carrying long distances, it might be easier to take the bus into Nesso. The bus stop is extremely close to the apartment!MeganJuly 2015

The apartment is even more beautiful than it looks in the photos, and Laura ensured that we were made feel welcome upon arrival. Laura had provided some food and juice for us which was a lovely touch, so it meant we could relax as soon as we arrived. The apartment was spotlessly clean and very well kept, with a dishwasher and fully stocked bathroom kitchen etc. I would recommend renting a car during a winter visit as shops and restaurants in the area are closed, but we knew this before we chose the apartment and it didn't affect the holiday. The views and location are specatular, the water's edge is a five minute walk from the apartment. Parking space was ideal and practical. I would recommend the apartment to anyone, and thank you to Laura and her family for making our trip special!GraceDecember 2016
We spent a great time in careno, half way between belagio and como. The apartment is close to the bus stop (plan for tickets in advance to avoid the fee when taking them in the bus). The view is splendid and the village really calm, you'll want to plan for earplugs because of the bell tower next door. It stops at night but will wake you up too early.... Communication was perfect, no issues what so ever. Auguri!romainJanuary 2017
Laura and her husband were very welcoming and were willing to let us check in a little early. The location is BEAUTIFUL! Great view from the patio. Beautiful church and houses near by. Nice walk down stairs to the beach and lake. The road outside is very narrow so not conducive to walking on the road to other near by villages. Check in and check out might be an issue because the hosts have to let you in rather than just leaving the key somewhere.ErSeptember 2016

WOW!!! is the best way to describe our first Airbnb experience. Nesso is a hidden gem. Ettore and David were incredible hosts, and now friends. Please if you are really looking to be in an area where the "Tourist" invasion has missed, and you seek to feel the real Italy, STAY HERE!! Even though we didnt rent a car, and the walk up was a little physical (unless you have problems with walking or stairs) it was breath taking. If you drive you can park close, but even then if you enjoy a good outdoor walk, take the stairs during your stay. Even walk all the way down to the lake. We took the bus from Lake Como. It was very easy to reach Nesso in 25 min. and can also reach Bellagio by bus. All for less than $4. Please feel free to message me, if you want extra great tips. But rest assured that when you arrive, Ettore will have everything you need.KeithOctober 2016

Lake Como is the most beautiful place I have ever seen and Careno is so relaxing and wonderful. You could be content with just looking at the view for the entire duration of your stay. The 300 steps down to the beach and Trattoria are part of the charm but a killer coming back up. A few more days in Careno we would have been iron man fit! We loved the old priest's house. It was perfect for our family, very rustic and comfortable. Oh and the views! Absolute beauty from every window. Dinner at the Trattoria del Porto is wonderful, fish specialties from the Lake and the Zambra family are fantastic hosts, not only serving dinner but acting as caretakers of the ancient Roman church and helpful tourist information and assistance. I only regret not having booked a longer stay.NevaJuly 2016

Wir hatten tolle Tage in Careno (besondere Empfehlung für den Aufenthalt: Wanderung auf den Monte San Primo oder den Monte Generoso (auf der anderen Seeseite) mit grandiosen Panoramen). Wer einen Luxus-Komfort-Neubau sucht, sollte vielleicht etwas anderes am Comer See buchen. Wir zumindest waren höchst zufrieden.ChristophOctober 2016
Une maison rustique, charmante, bien équipée (à part un réseau wifi capricieux) (URL HIDDEN) d'une vue magnifique. Un endroit parfait pour profiter du lac.richardAugust 2016
Ralph was v prompt and helpful. We loved the authentic and charming priest's house. Careno is v special also. We loved exploring the lake on the ferry day pass, and recommend the trattoria in the port and hiring SUPs. An amazing stay. Thank youGemmaSeptember 2016
Where can you even start with this house?! The town it sits in makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. The house itself, although also old, is well taken care of, clean and has all the amenities you could need. In fact, my husband remarked that it was the best stocked kitchen we've ever had at an AirBnB place. Ralph even made sure there was milk and juice in the fridge, as well as coffee, sugar, and even a bottle of wine! As for the rest of the place, there is a surprising amount of space and the beds are very comfortable. The internet wasn't working while we were there, (which Ralph had notified us of well before our arrival) but there was a television and a selection of games - which we also didn't use much because of THE VIEW. Out both bedroom and living room windows is the most spectacular view of Como. You'll find it hard to look away. Outside the house, there is a stairway down to a small beach with great swimming access, as well as a lovely trattoria where we had one of the most amazing fish meals of our lives. Overall, I couldn't recommend this place more. Ralph is easy to communicate with and responds to inquiries quickly. He was a wonderful host and we look forward to staying in his amazing house again soon.StefanieAugust 2016
We had a lovely 3 nights at Ralph's old priest's residence. The views are amazing however as you are up high, it is very steep to walk down to the water's edge, especially when trying to walk back up again. The place is older and not your modern type accommodation however is well kept and well stocked for travellers. The location between Como and Bellagio is great but it is a challenging road to navigate as it is not overly wide. The main things to note with Ralph's place is that parking can be hard to get in height of warmer months, especially weekends when we were there. We had to park over a kilometre away as the closer parking was completely full all day. The place also is not overly child friendly. Ok if you have children over 5 but younger is a lot more challenging given its steep position and there are not too many towns nearby where the kids can get down to the water. We did however like the authenticity and loved the nearby BellagioCatherineJuly 2016
The village is amazing, with a beach downstairs, a great restaurant, and a little dock, just perfect to take a boat to visit another village around the lake, without taking the car. The house is great, just as it's described. The view on the lake is wonderful. The kitchen is well equipped, someone has brought us clean linen and towels each week of our trip. Ralph is very available, that's so great ! We had problems of access to the internet, and he has made everything he could to help us. Thank you again Ralph ! He also asked his friend to help us in Careno to have a parking spot when we arrived. Again thank you, both of you ! I definitely recommend this place to everyone !AmandineJuly 2016
We stayed for three nights during a stopover to south France in Careno. We really enjoyed the authentic atmosphere of the old priest house, right next to the church place, in the small mountain village with its narrow streets and paved paths and stairs. It's a little bit like traveling back in time to a less stressful period perfect for us to calm down before traveling further. The house provides all you need especially a well equipped kitchen. Everything was clean and the furniture are a carefully curated mix between antique and straight modern design. We travelled with three kids, our smallest was at the time of travel, nearly one year old. So we were happy that Ralph's house provided a portable baby bed and a high chair. In the house is one small stairway (described in the house information) which could be a problem with toddlers - but not for us. Parking is a little bit difficult in Careno first we passed the parking spots in the village and we needed a second attemp to find the parking lot next to the church which Ralph described it's not obvious that there is a lower Parking stage below the (mostly occupied) lot on street level. On the lower level parking even with our large station wagon was no problem. The road to Como is tight and has some tricky curves but it took less time with every trip we made :-). Traveling to Como with the boat is a nice alternative. We'll keep the wonderful days in Careno in pleasant memories and our kids asked if we'll stay again in Careno someday. Ralph was a very caring host and correspondent very responsive. We can hole heartily recommend the old priest house.MarkusAugust 2016

De verwelkoming was in orde. Alle mogelijke uitleg gekregen in verband met het verblijf. Als ook alle info over de omgeving. We hebben alle vertrouwen in deze mensen. Een leuk verblijf. Zoals op de foto. Terras aan woning en in de tuin hebben we veel gebruikt.DirkJuly 2015
Samen met mijn vriendin heb ik hier een heerlijk verblijf gehad. De sleutel konden we ophalen bij een toeristenbureau in een dorpje verderop. Daarna werden we de weg gewezen door de medewerkers van het bureau. We kwamen aan in een heerlijk schoon appartement waar aan alles is gedacht. Uitzicht over wat huizen en het meer. Prachtig! Goed te bereiken per auto, met eigen parkeergarage. Grenst aan een weg maar geen last van gehad! Goede Wifi. Het appartement is onlangs vernieuwd en dat is in alles te zien. Veel buitenruimte ook! Dank voor het heerlijke verblijf!DaanAugust 2015
Super appart avec une vue sublime sur le lac. 2 grands couchages confortables. Le vrai plus est la propreté ET le garage fermé car pas évident de se garer dans le coin.MarieMay 2016
Logement conforme aux photos, fonctionnel, bien agencé et très propre. Nesso est assez isolé situé à environ 20 mn de Bellagio et 30 mn de Cômo, pas de commerces ou alors bien cachés...., 2 ou 3 petits restaurants, il faut utiliser la voiture car l'appartement est en hauteur avec une jolie vue sur le lac, idéal pour les personnes souhaitant se reposer. Nous avons été accueillis par une agence située à Lezzeno à environ 10 km de Nesso, qui nous a sommairement décrit les activités autour du lac et avons fait la connaissance de la propriétaire, charmante et très sympathique, qui nous a conseillé des lieux à découvrir, malheureusement le jour de notre départ !!AnnieAugust 2015
Die Betreuung und Beschreibung war ausgezeichnet! Die Wohnung war genauso schön, wie es die Fotos versprechen!Nikolaus August 2015
Cet appartement est une très bonne surprise ! ! Je dirais qu'il est beaucoup mieux en vrai que sur les photos avec des matériaux neufs et de très bonne qualité. Le quartier est très bien avec une jolie ballade/baignade à faire en bas du village. L' accueil à l'agence était cordial. Je recommande vivement cet appartement pour une famille ( notre cas) ou deux couples.AntoineAugust 2015
The appartment was nicely located in the quiet town of Nesso with a beautiful view on the lake from the terrace. It had all the facilities you need and especially the possibility to park your car is very useful. In all, a very nice starting place to visit the central lake area, either by car and or ferry.ArthurJuly 2016
Superbe vue depuis le balcon ! Cet appartement est tout confort, propre et agréable. On est pas tout à fait à côté de la plage, mais en voiture ce n'est pas loin ! Un petit bémol : l'appartement se trouve dans un virage, et les italiens ont tendance à klaxonner tout au long de la journée pour avertir de leur arrivée...MarineSeptember 2015

We had a great time at Lake Como, but the apartment Casa Sylvia was disappointing. The decor of the apartment looks better on the photos than the real thing. The furniture is worn and the apartment is quite dark. The garden with the pool is nice, but unlike the pictures in the ad, there were no sunbeds at the pool. We found the apartment not very clean. There were cobwebs on the ceiling in the corners of the room. There was a bad smell from the dishwasher and the kitchen drawers. Not all kitchenware was washed clean. All in all we find the price not fair. We have not met Stefano and Xavier during our stay. A neighbor acts as landlady. Her we saw only on arrival.EdzoSeptember 2016
Excellent place to stay while traveling around Como. Stefano's apartment is just like advertised. The view from the living room is priceless. Stefano was very responsive. The entire arrangement was flawless. Highly recommended ! Thank you Stefano !PaulaJuly 2016
Hello, we stayed in this appartment for 1 week. We = me, my husband and my 1 year old boy. View: just stunning although we may have missed a terrace sometimes. Rooms: perfect size, calm and dark at night. Good temperature, we slept very well. Kitchen: well equiped. Bathroom: ok This was a great spot to spend our summer hollidays. But, very important to know, certainly with a kid or lots of luggage: from the parkin area there are a lot of stairs to arrive at the apt. Good to know and I was very happu y we stayed for a whole week! Also for the pool: some stairs to do, and you need a bath head. Luckaly there were some in the bathroom we used. Nesso is a cosy small village and there are easy visit possibilities by boat or bus. The only inconvenience was that the wifi connexion was off for 2 days and that it was difficult to receive some information from Stefano. Luckaly the neighbour Rosetta helped us very well with everything we needed. We had a nice holliday in this apt and we would recommend this place to others.StephanieSeptember 2016
Wonderful stay by the lake in Nesso. Apartment had everything we needed and more--you can really tell hosts want to make sure guests have everything necessary during the stay in a beautiful and well kept apartment. Xavier was great with correspondence and the location was perfect for exploring the surrounding towns by the lake. Highly recommended.DahyeJune 2015
Fabulous stay in Nesso, the apartment was exactly as described and the pictures provided were completely accurate. Modern decor and fittings, breathtaking view of the lake and a warm and friendly welcome with good communication from our hosts and caretaker. Nesso is very small but there was a lovely restaurant and small shop open when we arrived for the essentials. If you are looking to cook I'd try and shop in a larger town like Como on the way. Make no mistake, the roads leading up to Nesso are not for the faint hearted, we hired a larger car and regretted it! Parking at the apartment was very welcome. Como is hands down one of the most beautiful places on earth and Nesso is an excellent base to see both Como and Bellagio. Weather wasn't great for us so didn't use the pool, all in all, we were very pleased to have chosen the apartment and had a great time in our four days there.DavidSeptember 2015
Xavier initially made contact and informed me Rosetta would meet my wife and I. Xavier and Rosetta were both extremely helpful and easily contactable. The apartment was as advertised. Clean and tidy with excellent facilities. The view was breathtaking. We woke in the morning to the sound of birds and the most beautiful views of the lake. In the evenings we enjoyed just sitting in the living area soaking up the spectacular view as the sun set The apartment was in a complex and was secure and safe. We had a car and had our own parking spot allotted which was very convenient and allowed easy access. The pool was magnificent. Well maintained and with a lovely grass and garden area with amazing lake views. Internet was fast and reliable. We chose Nesso for affordability and the views and weren't disappointed. We were aware that we would need to travel to Como to shop etc. We did this by car and also by boat. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this apartment.JonathanJune 2015
What a lovely place! Sam and Xavier have tastefully decorated this very clean two bedroom and they've thought of everything. We had a wonderful time. The beds were comfortable, sheets and towels clean and nice, and everything was new. Best of all was ye amazing view. Can't wait to go back!CarolynJuly 2014
Väldigt fint ställe att bo på! Vacker utsikt, fräsch lägenhet. Rekommenderar starkt att ha med sig egen bil, då det ändå finns parkering och är rätt långt till närmaste affär. Dock passa er för trafiken till Como och Bellagio, vägen är väldigt smal och kurvig.FjodorJune 2015

Wonderful house wonderful host full of attentions! We have passed 3 days hiking and visiting the beauty of the lake bank ! Recommended ++Pierre-LouisJune 2016
Luigi var meget god til at tage i mod. Huset er ikke så let at finde, men Luigi var meget villig til at løbe det halve af byen rundt for at finde os. Huset var perfekt og stemte helt overens og mere til med beskrivelsen. Alt i alt, en vært og lejlighed som stemmer overens med prisen.Jeppe SølagerMay 2015
Luigi was extremely hospitable. He met us on the main square of the village and helped to drive on these wonderful but very narrow streets to the house. The house was perfect! All we needed were here. We liked the dishwasher, it saved hours for us! 2 restrooms are perfect for 2 couples! :) No queues in the morning ;) And now I'll tell you the best part. There is a waterfall in front of your balcony! We spent great time in the evening listening to the waterfall! There is a fireplace in the house. Don't make our mistakes! Turn off your phones and relax in front of the fireplace (WiFi was good so we spent a whole evening surfing the Internet :()! And there were very friendly lamas just around the corner :) They are beautiful! We loved this house, it was the best experience we have ever had!LeonidMay 2015
We have stayed at apartments throughout Europe, and Luigi's is by far the nicest! It is large and comfortable with every amenity (except for some reason, a cutting board). The place is spotlessly clean, and the wifi is fast and strong. The only drawback is possibly the location. Luigi arranged via email to lead us up to the place since it is hard to find. We arrived during a huge thunderstorm and he was nowhere to be found. Fortunately, we found a bar with wifi and I was able to contact him. Then we followed him up a very steep and narrow road to the house (don't bring a big car!!) Unfortunately, it rained almost the entire time we were at the lake, so we weren't able to enjoy this house's many amenities like patio, hot tub, bikes and amazing view. That did make the satellite TV all the better though. If you don't mind staying a bit out of the way, I highly recommend Luigi's place. He is very friendly, brought us food and drink to welcome us, and was extremely helpful with everything. An excellent host and property.TracyJune 2015
Луиджи и Андрейна замечательные хозяева - внимательные, отзывчивые на любое пожелания и просьбу. Они встретили нас в ночи, и все равно все показали и рассказали об окрестностях и достопримечательностях. Квартира очень уютная, очень чистая , продуманы любые мелочи - и на кухне, и прочие бытовые мелочи. дети были в восторге от камина, свечек, фонароков, которые украшали нам вечера. Великолепный водопад и вид на озеро добавляли положительных впечатлений. Огромное спасибо за чудесный отдых!!Aykanush May 2015
Super séjour, le logement est au top et ne manque de rien. La vue des 2 balcon est splendide, dépaysement assurée. Baignade possible dans le magnifique lac de come à quelque minute de la maison seulement. Le propriétaire est très sympathique et au petit soin pour ses hôtes rien à redire. Seul bémol l'accès à la maison à pied peut s'avérer sportif, à déconseiller au personne âgée. Sinon aucun regret.arnaudAugust 2016
Wszystko było bardzo ładnie przygotowane. Luigi wyjechał po nas do centrum Nesso. Piękna okolica i każdy zakamarek kryje niespodziankę. Zwyczajny spacer po Nesso zaskoczył nas wieloma niespodziewanymi widokami. Okolica spokojna. Bezpieczna. Luigi odpowiedział na wszystkie pytania. Polecił restauracje, kompieliska i atrakcje okolicy. Polecamy miejsce! Dwie uwagi. Wąskie uliczki prowadzące do domu przepiękne, klimatyczne, magiczne ale... Trzeba bardzo uważać żeby bezpiecznie wyjechać. Jedyna rzecz której mi brakowało to KAFETERKA :) Pozdrawiamy Luigi :)BaśkaAugust 2016

It truly is the perfect nest on the lake! We arrived late but annarosa was waiting for us off the bus and we were welcomed to the apartment down small stone alleyways and had wine, chocolate and a splendid view from the balcony. It was a great stay in Brienno. We loved it and we were very comfortable. Highly recommended for a romantic hideaway!TristanSeptember 2015
We spent 2 nights at stefano's place in brienno. The place is exactly lile the pictures, the balcony with the view on the lake is perfect. You can enjoy the calm of the lake with no disturbance. The village of brienno is really calm and the main road is passing under it which leave the streets safe and calm. There are a few parking spots at the beginning and the end of the village. You will then need to walk for 5min max to reach the flat. Regarding the organization, everything was perfect. We were welcomed by Annarosa and elisa who provided all the necessary information. There were food already in the cupboard in case we needeed something (Pasta, oil, beer, water, wine, coke). We couldn't ask for more.AntoineAugust 2015

Très agréable sejour dans ce logement qui bénéficie d'un cadre reposant et d'une vue directe sur le lac. Situé à 25 min de Menaggio par la route (sans traffic). Petites Attentions à l'arrivée très agréables (bouteille de vin, chocolat...) Idéal pour être au calme et se reposer. A noter le matelas un peu ferme.leevyAugust 2016
We absolutely loved this charming place! Elisa greeted us and made us very welcome, leading us through winding stone passageways down to the the apartment. It is very cozy and bright and equipped with everything we needed. It is right on the water just as described and the views are incredible! We spent most of our time on the balcony enchanted by the gorgeous scenery. We hope to return some day. Our only regret is that we could not stay longer.KathleenDecember 2015
We could not have enjoyed our stay any more than we did. Eliza welcomed us at the bus stop and walked us to the home. The pictures posted do not do the location justice, it is a beautiful location on the water and the narrow stone street it resides in were really fun to walk through. The stocked pantry and complimentary bottle of wine/chocolate made our stay what it was. With little to no shopping in the village on a holiday, we were able to eat like kings and drink like fish (elegantly). When we wandered up the stone paths up the hill, we were surprised to find an abundance of well marked and truly beautiful trails winding through an old village. It was the highlight of our trip, and should be endorsed more with this location.BryanApril 2016

Wow...We just love Casa Alicia. With the most amazing View, the most wonderful gracious Hosts, the most perfect clean and modern apartment.... We most highly recommend staying here!!!! We had to force ourselves to leave this beautiful and tranquil spot each day to enjoy Lake Como...and some days we didn't leave at all- it was so relaxing and homely!!! Nesso is the perfect spot to base yourself... A short bus ride to Bellagio...and an easy bus ride to Como... Ferry stop is only a five minute walk away!!! Val's attention to detail in her beautiful apartment make it THE perfect place to stay in Lake Como. Thank you Val... And thank you Gary for looking after us, it was an absolute pleasure meeting you both!!! Suellen & MikeSJune 2016
Beyond expectations. Yes one needs to be mobile to negotiate the 250 cobbled stairs to reach the apartment but it just adds to the charm. I could not recommend this host and the apartment more highly. A little pocket of heaven.TaniaJuly 2016
Val was nothing short of an absolutely perfect host! She was easy to communicate with, beyond helpful and readily available to answers questions. The cottage exceeded all our expectations. The entire home was decorated perfectly and had every amenity you'd need to have a perfect stay. The place was spotlessly clean with a few pleasant surprises to make our stay even more enjoyable! It may be a lot of steps down to the cottage, but rest assured every single step was worth the cottage and the view! There's help available with your luggage for a small fee and trust me, it's worth every penny! The community is quaint and the locals are very lovely people! We cannot wait to come back next year! This is the must stay place in Nesso!!!!DANAEOctober 2016
We have enjoyed numerous AirBnb's over the past several years and bar far this is the best property and value we have found!!!! Val had everything spelled out to a T. Upon our arrival, Val met us in the Piazza of Nesso and showed us to our luxury accommodations for the next 5 days. They had recently renovated the property and spared nothing to provide maximum comfort and relaxation for their guests!!!. Val and Gary have compiled a complete guide to their property as well as identified numerous attractions, places to eat and activities for the surrounding area. A couple of noteworthy mentions include; attending the weekly farmers market in the upper Piazza on Monday morning. This is truly local and the vendors with their fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses and authentic Italian delicacies are truly amazing. This is off the beaten path of the tourists, so practice your Italian. What an experience that afforded us to prepare healthy breakfasts and romantic dinners. The next item on the list was an experience of a lifetime. Take the Funicular from Argegno, (just a short ferry ride from Nesso) to the mountain town Pigra. From there you hike down 4 miles though magnificent countryside with spectacular views of Lake Como. You pass through smaller towns like Corniga off the grid, with stone homes built in the time of the Romans, centuries ago. Truly remarkable, breathtaking views and steeped in history. One of the most outstanding hikes my wife and I have ever enjoyed. These adventures recommended by Val, separate her as a host from the numerous we have encountered over the years. If you are planning a holiday, vacation or brief romantic getaway, we could not be more supportive of this location and the hosts willingness to provide everything imaginable. The property is situated right on the waters edge. As you sit on the terrace sipping your wine and enjoying local fare, you are looking at one of the most picturesque views imaginable. Unobstructed. . . truly romantic!! After spending 3 weeks across Europe, we are already planning an extended stay here in Nesso for next year. Don't just take our word for it. . . experience it for yourself. You will be amazed !!! Jack and WendyjackJuly 2016
We enjoyed the stay at Val's appartment very much and had a wonderful time. Val is friendly, caring host with very flexible suggestions for our special requests. We stayed in a perfect designer appartment, furnished with exquisite taste, perfect view on the lake and liked the detailed information booklet. The way to the main street takes a few minutes, but the steps are easy to manage and after 3 days we already felt more fit :-)MarkusSeptember 2015
Val was a wonderful host, making sure all our comforts were met. She met us at the carpark and offered to help us with our bags. Once in the arpartment we were presented with a complementary bottle of wine to enjoy whilst taking in the most incredible breath taking views of the lake. She had lots of information on how to get about. The apartment was home away from home. It was comfortable, stylish, modern, clean and well equipped. What you see is what you get. If you can handle the stairs to get to the terraced arpartment we highly recommend this place.DavidJune 2016

After consuming copious amounts of alcohol during the festive season, it might do the majority of the population good, if South Africans resolve to follow the recent trend in the UK, where an increasing number of Brits have swapped booze for healthier beverage options, such as tea, for an entire month. This is known as 'Dry January'.
Rooibos protects skin from the sun
From a soothing beverage to beauty elixir, Rooibos tea is one versatile brew. Now researchers have discovered that it can also undo some of the damage caused by the sun's harmful rays.
Rooibos lowers the risk of diabetes? [Recipes too!]
Rooibos tea – already considered one of the nation's favourite beverages – has the potential to delay and prevent the onset and progression of type 2 diabetes (T2D)
SA Rooibos IP innovation to be presented at WIPO congress
The extensive trademarks and patents protecting two of South Africa's unique botanical treasures, namely Rooibos and Honeybush, has caught the attention of the international community where the Minister of Home Affairs, the Honourable, Malusi Gigaba has been invited to deliver a keynote address at this year's 56th General Assembly of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO).
Is Rooibos the fountain of youth?
South African wonder herb, Rooibos, is sure to turn the anti-ageing revolution on its head following a new round of research into its anti-ageing potential beyond that of its well-known antioxidant properties.
Rooibos price hike clarified
Ernest du Toit, spokesperson for the council says while market forces will determine the final price of Rooibos the increase is unlikely to be as high, because the production cycle of Rooibos runs over four years.
