Post Date: June 4, 2013
Every year, the U.S. Sentencing Commission, which writes the federal Sentencing Guidelines, suggests changes to the guidelines. These are known as guideline amendments. The process starts when the Commission publishes a list of priorities – issues it wants to tackle – and asks the public for feedback on whether that list is right.
The Commission published its 2014 list of priorities on May 30. You have until July 15, 2013, to comment on that list.
FAMM always responds to the Commission's priorities, and you should, too. It's important that the Commissioners know the public is paying attention to what they do and that their actions matter to thousands.
So, please carefully read the list of priorities linked here, which includes an explanation on how to comment. If one or more of the priorities strike you as important, please write the Commission, citing the amendment by number.
FAMM supports all but one of the priorities. The priorities that are especially important to us are listed below with a brief explanation. Feel free to write about these and any other amendments that matter to you.
Amendment #1
Continue the Commission's work in Congress to reform mandatory minimum penalties and promote reforms it suggested in its 2011 Mandatory Minimum Report. These include, among other things:
o Adopting a safety valve, like the one currently used for drug defendants, for low-level, nonviolent offenders convicted of non-drug crimes;
o Expanding the current drug safety valve to apply to people with more criminal history than currently covered;
o Reassessing the severity of two- and three-strikes drug sentences;
o Eliminating "stacking" of multiple gun sentences; ensuring extra sentences for recidivism apply only to defendants with prior gun convictions; and lowering the current 25-year mandatory minimum sentence for second gun offenses.
Amendment #2
Possibly amend drug sentencing guidelines "across drug types." This is code for what we call "All drugs minus two" and means the Commission is considering reducing sentencing guidelines for all drugs by two full levels. Long-time FAMM supporters will remember that the Commission lowered the crack cocaine sentence guideline by two full levels in 2007 (and raised them back again in 2010). This is a longstanding FAMM priority that we have urged the Commission to act on. It would shorten drug guideline sentences (but would have no impact on mandatory minimum drug sentences).
Amendment #4
Study and possibly amend the guidelines covering economic crimes, including examining the "loss" table.
Amendment #5
Continue studying definitions of "crime of violence," "aggravated felony," "violent felony," and "drug trafficking offense."
Amendment #6
Continue to study recidivism and what circumstances increase or decrease it and how such information could be used to reduce costs of incarceration.
Amendment #7
Undertake a study of sentencing related to violations of probation and supervised release.
Amendment #8
Possibly amend the policy statement guiding judges who are considering compassionate release. FAMM is very interested in expanding the use of compassionate release for prisoners.
Amendment #9
Review and possibly amend the guidelines for firearm offenses.
Amendment #12
Promote in Congress the Commission's recommendations from its 2012 report on child pornography sentencing, which found that nonproduction sentences are often severe.
FAMM opposes Amendment # 3
We do not want the Commission to promote legislation that will make the federal sentencing guidelines more mandatory by eliminating some of the discretion judges currently have. The Commission's recommendations can be found in its 2012 Booker Report and our opinion of it can be seen here.
Finally, for the first time in our memory, the Commission asks that public comment "address the issue of reducing costs of incarceration and overcapacity of prisons" as it relates to each priority. This is very important because as a matter of law, the Commission is supposed to take prison capacity into account when creating sentences. It has never done so, however. This is an important step for the Commission, because for years it has created and increased sentencing guidelines that have helped fill the federal prisons to overflowing.
So, please write to the Commission before July 15, 2013. The letters do not need to sound lawyerly. They simply need to refer to the specific amendment(s) you are writing about (use the amendment number) and explain in plain language why the amendment matters to you. Feel free to share your own experience with sentencing if you have one, and how that has informed your opinion.
Letters should be addressed to:
The United States Sentencing Commission
One Columbus Circle, N.E., Suite 2-500
South Lobby
Washington, D.C. 20002-8002
Attn: Public Affairs – Priorities Comment.
You should not expect an answer. We will keep you informed about the amendment process as the year unfolds, as well as how many letters the Commission receives from the public.
Thanks so much!
My best,
Julie Stewart, President
June 4, 2013

A nice chapter overall! It was good seeing Gray being badass for once.
This chapter begins, as usual, with the ranking. Then we see Natsu, Lucy and Mira wondering how they'll get out of there. Are they that stupid? Mira, Happy, Lily and Carla couuld give them a lift from where they fell couldn't they? I guess they could prevent themselves in the first place...but anyway.
As obvious as it was, Gray prepares to fight Rufus. Mavis reminded me of a filler character, by saying that her calculations were not wrong even now, but she says that it is of grave importance that Gray defeats Rufus, if they want to stand a chance againist Sabertooth.
We finally get some background on Mavis' strategic meeting with Team Fairy Tail. She said that Rufus had to be beaten first, and Gray insisted that he fights him. She then said that Gray's feelings can overcome even her calculations (is this what we call Nakama Power?) And she asks from Gray to prove her wrong.
Gray attacks Rufus with his Ice Make spells, but fails to land a hit. Rufus shows his formidable skills, and is able to use the various spells he's memorized in order to create a new, unique spell. He attacks Gray with an Ice-Lightning based spell, which, according to me, looked AWESOME and I can't wait to see it animated. Rufus then proceeds to kick Gray's ass with a Wind spell, and at the same time "forgetting" Gray's ice-shield, which caused it to vanish.
Gray then tells Rufus that he never loses to the same opponent twice (kinda true, if we take into consideration Lyon, Racer, or Angel in the fillers) and uses a new spell, named "Ice-Make:Unlimited". Now that was simply AWESOME! He created his own Ice Make Arsenal, consisting of a big number of different Ice Swords, and commanded them to attack Rufus at once.
However, Rufus survives, because he has memorized Ice magic. And now, the part I did not understand. Rufus attacks Gray with flames, but obviously, since Gray used to fight with Natsu all the time, he was able to stand this and took his ice swords, attacked Rufus with an ice technique, defeating him. If Rufus had memorized ice magic, then why did he lose to those ice-based attacks, which were obviously weaker than the previous huge ice attack? Anyway, it was a pretty awesome (albeit short) fight, and Gray won. Obviously. Much to Mavis' relief.
Oh, and something else. Gray with Rufus' hat.
Personally, I liked this chapter. I guess it's because we haven't seen any fight for a while. I liked the spells, the moves, the backstory everything. I just wish it was a bit longer. I give it 8/10. What are your thoughts?

Queretáro Vacation Packages
Queretáro is Mexico's former historical capital. This village in the hills of central Mexico has played center stage in some of the most important chapters of the nation's history. Visit Queretáro to experience this history and to explore some of Mexico's most ornate architecture.
During the early 1800s, Queretáro was a headquarters for Mexican revolutionaries, who sought independence from Spain. Later in the century, when France invaded Mexico and established Maximilian I as emperor, Queretáro is where he was captured, tried and executed by republicans. Visit the Hill of the Bells, just west of the historical center of Queretáro, to see where Maximilian was executed.
In 1917, Queretáro was the site of the signing of the Mexican Constitution, which is still in effect today. Visit the 19th-century Teatro de la Republica (Theater of the Republic) in the historical center, where the constitution was ratified.
The historical center of Queretáro also has several superb examples of Mexican architecture. The Temple of Santa Rosa de Viterbo is a stunning hybrid of Mexican Baroque and Islamic architecture. Marvel at the lush designs inside the 18th-century temple, including walls covered in solid gold picture frames. At the Museum of Arts of Queretáro, admire the courtyard lined with intricate archways.
Outside of the historical center, Queretáro reveals an even more ancient history. Look for the massive Aqueduct, built in the early 1700s, which cuts horizontally through town. Nearly a mile long (1.3 kilometers), the brick waterway still provides Queretáro with running water today. Drive 4 miles (7 kilometers) outside of town to see the archaeological site of the El Pueblito settlement. The centerpiece of the complex is a 100-feet (30-meter) high tiered Toltec pyramid, called El Cerrito, from the third century B.C.
Buses and trains run to Queretáro from Mexico City. You can also arrive by plane at the Queretáro International Airport, with flights to and from Houston. Double-decker buses provide tours around the city. To explore beyond the city center, it's worth renting a car.
Accommodation in Queretaro
Queretaro offers a good range of places to stay. Expedia's hotels in Queretaro page lists all hotel deals.
Highly recommended Queretaro hotels include the Doña Urraca Hotel & Spa, which can be found at 5 de Mayo 117, and La Casa del Atrio, located at Allende Sur 15. Should those options not fit the bill, the Holiday Inn Queretaro-Centro Historico, Ave 5 De Febrero No 110, or the Casona de la Republica Hotel Boutique, Hidalgo #4 Centro Historico may be more your style.

If you read my blog on a regular basis you have probably read a post (or two!) about the Kohl's Cares program. I am a HUGE fan of Kohl's Cares and I LOVE the products they offer.
If you are unfamiliar with Kohl's Cares, it's a special collection of products that Kohl's sells year round to help raise funds for children's health initiatives nationwide. Kohl's gives 100% of the proceeds from these products to charity.
The Kohl's Cares collection of products change every few months. Each product is only $5.00.
I was an avid reader growing up. I loved reading so much that I saved many of my favorite books from my childhood and passed them on to my children. Now that my kid are grown, I put all my books – as well as their favorite childhood books – in storage, awaiting the day that I can read these books to my grandchildren (and Lord willing, great-grandchildren).
What I love about the Kohl's Cares collection is that they usually offer a book/plush combo. They often carry beloved children's book as well as a plush toy from the book. Each are sold separately ($5 each). As a "set" ($10) they make a WONDERFUL gift. What child wouldn't want to snuggle with a cuddly plush animal while reading (or being read to) a delightful story book.
If you have a child who is invited to birthday parties often, or plenty of nieces and nephew, I would recommend stocking up on the book/plush "sets" so that you have great gifts at a moments notice. Not only that, you are helping to raise fund for children's charities. It' a win-win situation.
Kohl's Cares doesn't only sell children's books and plush toys – the have products for grown ups as well.
The Kohl's Cares collection changes every few months. I keep Kohls.com bookmarked on my computer and check the site once a week to see if there are new product available. You can also check them out at you local Kohl's store. The Kohl's Cares products are usually found new the cash registers.
Currently the Kohl's Cares collection features award winning children's books from renowned author/illustrator Leo Lionni. Lionni wrote and illustrated one of my favorite books from my childhood – Frederick. It's a story about an adorable little gray mouse. Now I need to find a little red flower to put in his hand/paw.
When I found out that Kohl's Cares was offering not only the book Frederick, but also a matching plush toy, I knew I had to have the set. In fact, I tend to buy all the book/plush combos whenever possible. I like decorating our bookcase with them. Because Kohl's Cares offers new products ever few months, I get to change the book/plush combo often. Then I just rotate them throughout the year.
One set I keep out all the time – Put Me in the Zoo. I love the plush. He's so soft!
The products are only available for a limited time and once they are sold out they are gone. That is why I am quick to purchase them.
Kohl's Cares has always been kind enough to send me free samples to review whenever new products come out (THANK YOU KOHL'S CARES!). Then I purchase all the additional products on my own with my own money.
The books are hardcover books with dust jackets. If you go to any bookstore you'll end up paying MORE than $5 for the same book.
The plush animals are also a high quality. I have many of them and they are made exceptionally well. Some might think a $5 plush toy would be made poorly. That is not the case at all. They are made very well.
Here are the items currently available through the Kohl's Cares program.
- Frederick book and mouse soft toy
- A Color of His Own book and chameleon soft toy
- It's Mine! Book and frog soft toy
- Cornelius book and crocodile soft toy
- Swimmy book
- Tote bag
- 101 Kids Activities book
I was sent A Color of His Own, chameleon plush toy, It's Mine! book and plush frog, tote bag and 101 Kids Activities book. I purchased the book Frederick and plush, as well as Cornelius book and plush on my own.
I work with children from 1st – 7th grade. The 101 Kids Activities book is awesome! It's filled with great ideas that I can easily utilize with the children that I work with. Most of the activities use products that are found around most homes and/or classrooms. It's a great book to have on hand for a cold, winter day or rainy days.
I cannot say enough about the plush toys. I love them! They are absolutely adorable! I'm a big kid at heart and I adore these sweet plush toys.
Sometimes I donate the products where I work. Other times I keep them for myself because they are just too cute to part with.
If you would like to check out the Kohl's Cares collection visit Kohls.com and search for Kohl's Cares. Or you can just go straight to this page. You can also find the products at your neighborhood Kohl's store.
Remember – each item is only $5, and 100% of the sale of these items go to children's charities.
Are you a fan of Kohl's Cares? Have you purchased any of their products before?
If you would like to read my review on other Koh's Cares products simply type in "Kohl's Cares" in the search box hear on my site.
These specific products will be available through early April, or until supplies last.
*I received some free products to review. Additional products I purchased on my own with my own money. There was no compensation. The opinions expressed are my own and not influenced in any way.

"Excellent care and treatment"
About: Ayr Hospital / Accident & Emergency Ayr Hospital Accident & Emergency KA6 6DX
Posted by Edinburgh patient (as ),
I wrote my feedback about 3 weeks ago, but it doesn't appear here so I am trying again as I really want to the staff to know how much I appreciated the excellent care and treatment I received.
I broke my ankle (quite badly) and ended up in A&E on a Saturday night. I was accompanied by a couple of friends who have been able to tell me what excellent care I received (as I was in shock and can't remember much). The staff on duty repeatedly reassured me and explained everything carefully to me friends.
Ms Gibson and her team were fabulous. She has done a fantastic job on patching me up and a young man in her team (don't remember his name now) was really kind and patient in explaining the procedure to me - SEVERAL times - as he knew I hadn't taken everything in. The whole surgical event is a bit of a blur but I do remember being constantly reassured and looked after. Thank you Ms Gibson, I will continue to do my bit now to get the best result and recovery for all your good work.
Finally, to all the nurses on station 10 - you are great. Thanks to all of you.
Special mention to the physio (and her student at the time who were great) and to the OT covering station 10. You all do a great job.
I am not from Ayr, so I was even more appreciative of all the care and attention I received, being away form my family and support.
We are quick to criticise but not as quick to praise, so can you please make sure everyone mentioned in this email gets to hear about my positive comments?
Response from Eunice Goodwin, Patient Feedback Manager for NHS Ayrshire and Arran, Quality Improvement and Governance Team, NHS Ayrshire and Arran 2 years ago
Dear Edinburgh patient
It is so important to be able to give and receive all feedback, so thank you for your persistence. I will be extremely pleased to pass your very kind words to as many staff as possible. It really makes a difference to staff to feel valued when they are providing an excellent service and I am convinced it helps them to continue to provide that level of service for others. Is it the ripple effect? like a smile, it can be infectious. I hope your recovery continues to go well.
Best wishes,

Following their amazing debut EP "Soundtrack For a Quiet Place" (2013), Italy's Elara release their new post-rock instrumentals today. The new album is called In the Depths of Time, in an Ocean Made of Stars and it comes just like a huricane.
Elara is a solo project born in 2007, after the break-up of the Italian metal hardcore band Mildewed. The first EP, entitled "Starry Night in a Cold November" had a great success. At the beginning of 2011 the solo project became a band. Alessio and Vincenzo joined the project and together they started a new journey where the old songs were played with a new sound mixing ambient, post-rock and classical music. In September 2012 the band signed for Fluttery Records and recorded a brand new 3 songs EP at the Domination Recording Studio. "Soundtrack for a Quiet Place" EP was born in February 2013.
"In the Depths of Time, in an Ocean Made of Stars" is Elara's second studio album. This is a record that we love to define as 'intimate' because it has been created slowly, in home sessions. During these session every member of the band suggested melodies and ideas that have then created the whole: a surge of melodies that create an actual concept. A concept that came together almost by chance, taking inspiration from one of Tolkien's masterpieces, The Silmarillion, in which the English writer succeeds in describing the creation of his imaginary world through a 'musical battle' between divine creatures. With the same spirit we tried to compose a coherent sequence of movements and melodies that would run one after the other, create expectation, suspension and sudden explosions. All these effects were created to lead the listener through the whole 30 minutes recording to the final definition of a perfect universe: everlasting and covered by an infinity of stars, bright remaining of the battle that just ended.

Adam Austin hasn't spoken to his brother in years. When they were teenagers, their sister was abducted and murdered, and their devastated family never recovered. Now Adam keeps to himself, scraping by as a bail bondsman, working so close to the town's criminal fringes that he sometimes seems a part of them.
Kent Austin is the beloved coach of the local high school football team, a religious man and hero in the community. After years of near misses, Kent's team has a shot at the state championship, a welcome point of pride in a town that has had its share of hardships.
Just before playoffs begin, the town and the team are thrown into shock when horrifically, impossibly, another teenage girl is found murdered. When details emerge that connect the crime to the Austin brothers, the two are forced to unite to stop a killer - and to confront their buried rage and grief before history repeats itself again.
Michael Koryta, long hailed as one of the best young thriller writers at work today, has written his greatest novel ever - an emotionally harrowing, unstoppably suspenseful novel that proves why Michael Connelly has named him "one of the best of the best".

"great suspense story"
this is a great reading of a great suspense story. Love all the football and small-town type of stories and feel to it. very much enjoyed.
I'm open to any book as long as it is true to itself.
"Well written"
This is very well written, but I think the pace was very slow. Some reviewers have said that they did not like all the Football references, but I was wondering if it was a part of the pace which was already slow only making it slower.
"Very entertaining"
I listen to Audible while I run and this book kept me wanting more miles to continue listening! Great writing and narration.
Audio books get me through my drive time, laundry time, grocery shopping, everything that would otherwise be a chore. I love audiobooks!
"Way too much football and not enough story."
I normally love this author but this book was a disappointment. I am not crazy about football and at least one-third of this book went on and on about the details and nuances of football games and specific plays and terminology I did not understand. The author made more of an effort to explain the various types of guns to the novice reader who may not be a gun expert than he did in explaining all the football details which I didn't understand and couldn't care less about. however, I will continue to read this author's books because he very rarely disappoints me. If you are a fan of football, you will probably love this book.
"Great story with multiple parallels suggested."
The story itself was quite good. Have enjoyed the authors writing style. Robert Petkoff is an excellent narrator, and I recommend books that he's read. It was a worthwhile read. However, there was a morality and religion aspect that wasn't fully explored. The author clearly started out with intent to challenge the position of Faith, but did not follow up through the climax and resolution of the story. he touched on it, and then it just disappeared without explanation. Instead, more secular and pragmatic themes were explored, and they won out, although without examination.
"Short Of The First Down..."
I'm afraid I have throw my lot in with Melinda and Brad here among reviewers. Bought because I'm a big Petkoff fan...didn't finish it, unfortunately.
Even speaking as a fan of football (tho' professional), there was indeed way too much of it and not enough to keep the thing moving for me.
I may dig in and force my way through the rest at some point, but my queue is too backed up to not move along to something more compelling.
I rate as follows: 5 Stars = Loved it. 4 Stars = Really liked it. 3 Stars = Liked it. 2 Stars = Didn't like it. 1 Star = Hated it -The Great Mutato
"Can't go wrong with Friday Night Lights,"
Koryta tells a mean story that captivates and brings you into the lives if the characters. His dialogue is believable and you can't wait to find out what happens next.
"Great twists and turns--"
This is a well constructed plot-- very engaging.
Good display of the driving power of guilt.
Different voices for different characters-- consistent with their development.
There were times that was true.
NO! The first book I listened to by this author was Those Who Wish Me Dead and I LOVED IT, since then I have listened to The Ridge, So Cold the River and now The Prophet and although I love football, i just don't understand why it seems the author needs to kill the best characters in these stories....
I am about to give up on this author, I was so excited after Those Who Wish Me Dead,as that book made me laugh, angry, laugh and just love the book, but every book since that has been a total disappointment. since Koryta decides to kill the most important character. I had pre order Last Words but now I am hesitant.
I love his performance.
It made me mad that Adam dies.

Amazing apartment and welcomed warmly by Lorenzo and his girlfriend, they very kindly gave us a bottle of prosecco and lots of information on what to see and do around Bellano. Great base to explore Lake Como from and the view from the apartment is breathtaking whatever the weather! Would love to visit again in future.Jason2016-05-05T00:00:00Z
So where should I start.. This apartment was so nice -I strongly recommend this place! The view was absolutely amazing, and the apartment had everything! Lorenzo was a very nice host- he made sure that everything was good for us - which it was :) Bellano is a cosy little city- and near by you varenna- which also was really nice ... The weather wasn't that good- but that didn't matter with an apartment like that :D I would definitely come back!Theresia2015-06-14T00:00:00Z
This is one of the best places I have been so far and Lorenzo made our stay very pleasant. The Studio was even better than the pictures and the Apartment is new and very modern. Grocery stores is just 5 minutes down by car or you can walk down, but coming back up can be tiring. If I get another chance I will be back again to this 5Star PlaceJOSE2015-04-09T00:00:00Z
More than perfect stay, Lorenzo is a very nice host and attentionné.L'appartement is just beautiful: beautiful, practical, comfortable with a beautiful view of the lake. Thank you for everything!Dominique2015-05-05T00:00:00Z
It was an incredibel experience. Everything was perfect and Lorenzo was very helpful. The only thing that I'd criticse is that Airbnb charged me in USD dollars resulting in an extra 40€ on top of the originally agreed price.Maria2016-01-05T00:00:00Z
This place is simply breathtaking and the accommodations are unbelievably comfortable, clean and elegant, with a cinematic view on the Alps and the Lake, there is a beach close by, beautiful cities to visit: Bergamo, Lecco, Como, and Milan an hour drive away. We have never lived such a complete experience of Italy. We have simply fallen in love with the place and were very sad to leave. Lorenzo, is very nice. He was always available for us and have given us great tips. We have stayed in a lot of Airbnb places but were never as overwhelmed with satisfaction as this time!Sara2016-08-01T00:00:00Z
Lorenzo and his place are the epitome of awesome! Lorenzo is the most accommodating host who picked us up from the ferry and took us to the grocery store before it closed. Communication with him was very good and he helped us get to Bellano when we took the wrong train. Once we arrived at his home Lorenzo gave us a bottle of prosecco out of his wine cellar and introduced us to his absolutely breathtaking view and place! We highly recommend this beautiful place and loved hiking from Bellano to Varenna. It is about a two hour hike with stops for pictures every minute and was one of the highlights of our trip! Every morning when you wake up to that view it's a dream!Thank you for everything and we will definitely be back to como again! One of our favorite places of earth. thanks for sharing your place with us ! Lana and JaredLana2016-10-14T00:00:00Z
Couldn't recomend this air BnB more! This property is truely one of a kind & the only place I will ever stay at when I return to lake Como! This property honestly takes your breath away when you step in the front door & Lorenzo was the perfect host. Stop looking - book this apartment now. You won't regret it (-:Jade 2016-11-04T00:00:00Z

Hosts were great - they made everything very easy.Michael2015-09-08T00:00:00Z
We had a delightful stay at Cà Roncate. Davide and Kerry were excellent hosts - helpful, welcoming and thoughtful. They provided outstanding restaurant recommendations, make sure to ask. The apartment is comfortable and the views are spectacular - well worth the narrow drive up (compact car is a must!).Brit2015-04-18T00:00:00Z
A beautiful place, with an amazing veiw! We never meet Davide, but check in and out was really easy, and Davide helped us with what we needed!Herman Luca 2015-06-26T00:00:00Z
We spend wonderful 2 days at Davide's place. Pictures really show how the house look. Davide provided us enough for us to make our breakfast for 2 days. We were really thankful about that. Best way to get there is definitely by car, once you get there the views from Ca Roncate are breath taking.Mercedes2014-12-31T00:00:00Z
This apartment and location is just amazing! The flat is exactly as good as shown in the pictures, very clean and cosy with the most breathtaking view! The accommodation was easy to find and the easiest way to travel around in this area is by car, so I don't regret getting a rental car (tubs up for private parking lot), meaning I could explore the shores of beautiful Lake Como and easy drive down to the city of Cernobbio! The hosts Davide and Kerry were super nice and gave me useful tips about supermarket, hiking trails (a must do!) and a good restaurant! The only small inconvenience was that the wifi caught a problem at the moment of my stay, but I guess internet problems can happen to anyone anywhere and Davide and Kerry were very nice and brought me and internet key and a small gift as a compensation. I have absolutely no complains about this place, I warmly recommend it and I had a super good time there and will for sure be back!Lena2015-03-30T00:00:00Z
Davide and Kerry were great hosts. Prompt and responsive, they were always available for any questions. One of the best airbnb apartments we have stayed at. The view is unexplainable, much better in real life! You must stay at Davide and Kerry's place to get the true Italian Como experience. Mani and ReshMani2016-05-06T00:00:00Z
Staying at Ca Roncate at Kerry and Davide was wonderful and relaxing. The view is great. The house has everything you need and is ideal for exploring the surrounding area. But we were glad to come back again and again to our activities and on the terrace to enjoy the rest of the day 200m above the lake. Kerry and Davide were very nice, they took care of our well-being and gave us lots of tips for our week's stay. The highlight was the evening dinner, where you get together with Andrea, a nice 3-course menu proffered and we still sat together at (much) wine until late at night and lots of laughing. Thanks for the nice time. We will be back!Frank 2015-08-23T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful time! The view from the patio is incredible. We cooked a few nights in the kitchen and spent the mornings relaxing on the sun loungers taking in the view. Very clean, very comfortable. A few things: The drive up is intense. Especially the first time. Sharpe turns, single lane, locals driving fast... You definitely need your own car. The bathroom and shower are basic and tiny with not a lot of surface to put toiletries but very clean. The water taxi service is a great way to see the lake. I wish we had known in advance that you could see the lake by sea plane. They were booked up while we were there. Overall, very charming and comfortable.Danielle2017-04-01T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful home to spend the last day of our journey through Italy. Andrea was there to meet us when he said he would and the house was easy to find. He also agreed to take us to the Airport very early the next morning. The all made us feel very welcome.Christine and Guido2015-04-21T00:00:00Z
Andrea is very helpful host. He gave us map of Bergamo and explained where and what to see, where to eat. He helped us to park our car for free. House is amazing, it's really old and authentic. It is close to the city center and the airport. Room was big and clean, breakfast was OK. Thank you, Andrea!Daiva2015-09-02T00:00:00Z
Andrea it's a great and gentle guy, he came to pick me and my girlfriend at the airport Orio al Serio Bergamo and welcomed us in his home at 11,30pm! The room was super quiet and comfortable. A+Tin Hang2015-02-17T00:00:00Z

This place is amazing! Located in the center of the city in a stunning old building. We had a great time! Andrea, you are a great host, thank you!Agata2016-06-25T00:00:00Z
Andrea is really friendly host.He gave us a map of the city and marked places we want to visit, he also was very kind to gave us a lift to a supermarket in the evening. It was very intersting to chat with him. He rent 2 rooms so there is a chance to meet other travelers (as was in our case) which is also nice experience)Sergey2015-01-05T00:00:00Z
Andrea is a great guy, friendly, laid back and very supportive as a host. Our room was basic but very cool as it is a part of very old building, so there are some nice details that made us feel like we travelled 200 years back in time, which was amazing :-) Andrea showed us a map of the city and recommended some nice places to eat and the next morning he drove us to the airport, another example of excellent service. The best addition to Andrea 's home is his dog Django, perfect host as well, we have to admit :-) Thank you for everything Andrea and see you definitely in the future, we'll be back Martina and MarkoMartina2015-08-30T00:00:00Z

Besides the fact that Giuliano is a very nice host, the place is just unbelieaveble! The nature and animals all around makes the place magical! Many places to see around. very recommended :)Yaniv2015-08-08T00:00:00Z
Giuliano's place is beautiful. It's a short uphill walk from the main road, which makes it quite secluded, and the views from up there are absolutely worth it. The place itself is full of character. We were very happy there and wish we had been able to stay longer. Thanks Giuliano for a wonderful stay.Louise2017-05-08T00:00:00Z
Very nice room and comfortable bed! We enjoyed our stay. It is a bit if a hike up a step path back and forth, so plan accordingly. Guiliano was very accommodating and helpful and will also take your luggage up and down the mountain at the beginning and end of your stay.Mara2014-07-20T00:00:00Z
Giuliano was the perfect host. In preparation he has already told us a plan and information. Giuliano picked us up on arrival and immediately made us feel welcome. The property is very nice, just like in the pictures and the description. We felt very repealed because Giuliano has given us, among other things recommendations and tips. The property is very beautiful, simple and very clean. Lula the dog ensures that you feel safe and protected. The hosts are very discreet and yet on the spot if you want to ask something. English would be an advantage. A Beautiful surroundings. All in all, for us the mark of 1 and two thumbs up ...Claudia 2016-05-09T00:00:00Z
Jiuliano is a lovely person and host, the property is quaint and very loving. The walk is steep, but not very far and the luggage can be brought to the house by freight elevator. The car can park for free at the church. We recommend!Klaus & Angelika2015-09-16T00:00:00Z
The most wonderful airbnb I have ever stayed at! Guiliano and his wife are wonderful hosts, the town is beautiful, amazing views, super clean, private and beautifully renovated. We loved the walk up the hill, the dog Luna welcoming us, the ride on the little train, the outdoor kitchen, and much more and really hope to be back for a longer stay! Thank you so much!jennifer2016-09-17T00:00:00Z
A weekend of two perfect days in Giuliano. The room was very well equipped and nice, so quiet place, with a great view as soon as one leaves the room and a very friendly dog who asks for hugs. The mounted feet to the home in the evening was perfect to digest! In short rebuild again! Moreover Guiliano was very responsive when booking last minute, sending all the information by email.laura2015-04-06T00:00:00Z

What a lovely house! It's full of character, and is certainly unique. We really enjoyed our stay here. Claudia and her husband Roberto are very friendly, and Claudia was kind enough to offer some local confectionary for us to try. They live in the next house, separated by a garden, so there's plenty of privacy. We had a good nights sleep, and would gladly visit again if in the area.Joe2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

Claudia is a super-friendly host. The house is beautifully decorated and spacious enough for a big family. The breakfast included was really awesome!! The facility is located downtown and close to everything. We spend a really good time there. Highly recommended. Thank you Claudia and hopу to see you again!Yury2015-07-02T00:00:00Z

This Airbnb is outstanding in every way. We particularly loved: the peaceful setting, the glorious view, the big bed, the wonderful shower, the well equipped kitchen, the food left for us to have for breakfast, the fast wifi and the bean-to-cup coffee machine. Patrizia is a wonderful lady and a considerate host. So much attention to detail has gone into making the cottage a spotlessly clean and enjoyable place to stay. She was an excellent communicator before our stay, gave us our privacy when we were there but was always on hand if we needed her to offer advice on the area. My only regret is that we didn't stay for longer. This is one of my favourite places I have ever stayed. Stay here; you won't regret it.Katie2016-08-09T00:00:00Z
We had a lovely time in the little house at the top of the hill! Such quiet, peaceful nights and what a view! We felt well-looked after with all the choices for breakfast, the amazing coffee machine and especially the homemade muffins.Anderson2015-06-15T00:00:00Z
The place was very nice, inside really comfortable and tastefully equiped. Outside beautifull located in the green hills with nice view to the lake. I really can recommend this place. We all felt very welcomed by Patricia and she also gave us good tips to go out. Thank you Patricia, we will come again ! Also greetings to your husband.Stefanie2014-05-12T00:00:00Z
Lovely place, very high quality and exceptional taste in decorating. Patrizia and George are wonderful people and their home is stunning. Great place for kids. Dogs are very friendly and loved to be pet.Jon2014-07-01T00:00:00Z
The cottage looks exactly as on the pictures - it is renovated with love. Patrizia is a superbe host. There is all you need for a relaxing holiday. The garden is very sunny and the view over Lake Lugano is stunning. Das Häuschen ist so wunderschön wie auf den Bildern. Es wurde liebevoll renoviert. Man findet alles, was man braucht - von der Kaffeemaschine über den Geschirrspüler bis zum Toaster. Patrizia ist eine wunderbare Gastgeberin. Sie hat uns herzlich empfangen und sogar mit einem kleinen Geschenk und Rosen aus dem Garten verabschiedet. Wir kommen gerne wieder und empfehlen das Pungitopo 100% weiter.Christine2015-05-22T00:00:00Z

Patrizia and her husband are great hosts! They provided us with EVERYTHING we needed (including a fondue and a raclette-set and the best coffee!) - thanks again! The house is located separately on the property of Patrizias house and has a beautiful view on the lake of lugano. Inside everything is decorated tastefully and the living room comes with a playstation. Keep in mind that you need to have a car to get to the place.Simon2015-01-03T00:00:00Z
We had an amazing time! Patrizia was very friendly and welcoming. We travelled with a newborn and she provided all facilities and made our experience memorable. The house is beautifully furnished and offers fantastic views of the lake and peaceful garden to enjoy your breakfast. We were very pleasantly surprised to discover a nice selection of breakfast foods in the fridge and even spring water running by the house. Altogether we would recommend this place as a wonderful and peaceful oasis to relax and treat as a basis to take day trips in the region.Magdalena2013-07-01T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved this place. It is heaven by the lake and we will definitely come stay here again!Jane2017-04-22T00:00:00Z
Great place to stay if you're after a bit of privacy and piece and quiet. Amazing place Lake Como and this house just topped it off for us. We struggled a bit with the wifi but Cinzia helped out a lot to fix the problem and even brought me fresh wood for the fire every day!! Amazing host, amazing house right ON the water!!Michael2017-04-27T00:00:00Z
The stay was lovely. It was only for one night but perfect. The beautiful view, the clean, cosy house and the home cooked dinner relaxed us. We would love to come back to this place. The home cooked dinner is a 'must' :) you won't regret it.Sandra2015-09-02T00:00:00Z
This was a divine cottage experienze and Cinzia and her family were so accommodating. They provided homemade goodies and homegrown items as a gift. The house is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. We are airbnb hosts as well and got to experience the caring and idyllic setting of another really great host and location. Ci è piaciuta Lierna e il lago. We didn't have a car but walked to town, took the local train and ferry daily to explore the lakeside villages. è stato meraviglioso!Gordon2015-10-12T00:00:00Z
This was airbnb at its best. Cinzia was an extremely kind, helpful and reliable host who went to great efforts to ensure we had a great stay. Her and her family made us a fantastic meal and also took us on a boat tour of the lake! The house itself is exactly as described and is a dream setting right beside the lake - very relaxing, comfortable and convenient. I would not hesitate to book again and leave with very fond memories of the place. Thank you Cinzia!Ian2015-10-31T00:00:00Z
Cinzia and her sister welcomed us as soon as we arrived. The directions were easy to follow and she was pretty easy to contact. They brought us a fabulous dinner the first night which started the trip off on the right tone. They also brought us vegetables from the garden a couple of times, which were simply delicious! The entire trip was just perfect- relaxing but close to a lot of activities. The property, while small, is comfortable and well equipped, and the location on the lake couldn't be any better. It is a perfect place for taking in the beautiful Italian scenario, food, and hospitality. Thanks Cinzia- We will definitely be back!Sarah2015-07-11T00:00:00Z
We stayed in Cinzia's place and had a great stay. We arrived late and requested some home made food and Cinzia arranged some excellent food for us! The house has a large garden with excellent views and an amazing fireplace... It is a bit of a walk to the local town so I would recommend a car for anyone who wants mobility. Luckily for us we just wanted to relax and enjoy the scenery so it was perfect.Ri2015-02-22T00:00:00Z

Sara's place was absolutely stunning! Upon arrival Sara and Roberto made the check in process seamless! There a quite a few steps to walk up to get to the place but they helped us with our bags and the view made the steps worth it! The place was clean and well equipped for all our needs! We comfortably fit 5 people. We made lots of memories on the large balcony. There was even ice :-)! Sara gave us some tips and we were off to explore. Sara's mom provided us fresh garlic and tomatoes which was a nice addition to our cooking. They were very helpful hosts!Blake2016-09-13T00:00:00Z
We absolutely loved our time in Sara's house! The pictures of the view from the terrace were what drew us in, and the view was even more beautiful in person. Sara was great about helping us navigate the public transportation system in Como to arrive at her house. We were greeted by her wonderful mother, who showed us around the house and made us feel incredibly welcome even through our very minimal Italian and her limited English. As many of the other reviews have mentioned, you should be ware of the climb up to the house. The steps are not for the faint of heart, but the views from the house are definitely worth it! The other thing we might suggest is that it would probably be best if you rent a car if you are staying here. The neighborhood is lovely, but very residential and it would definitely be easier to get to more of the touristy sites if you have a car, rather than trying to navigate the Como bus system.Colleen2014-10-26T00:00:00Z
Sara and her family were lovely and very welcoming! As other reviewers have said, the trek up the hillside to the house is a journey, but the view of Como from the terrace is totally worth it. The house itself is comfortable and nicely appointed, with a modern kitchen and bathroom. But it's Sara and the townspeople in Moltrasio who truly make the experience. By the our second day, we recognized people from the village and were greeted warmly by them whenever we passed. And don't forget to eat at Trattoria Del Fagiano down the hill.Valerie2015-04-14T00:00:00Z
We spent 17 days in some pretty incredible places in Europe this trip and this was one of our favorites by far. Sara was great to work with and responded promptly to all communication. Her husband Roberto met us in the car park and helped carry our luggage up. The steps up are not bad and after the first trip up you really don't notice the climb anymore. We had an amazing dinner at the local restaurant Trattoria del Fagiano, one of the best meals of our entire trip. The town of Moltrasio is great and the people are all very friendly. The kicker for this place though is the views, we spent a good amount of time on the terrace just relaxing and taking it all in...what a beautiful location. The bed is comfortable, the apartment is very clean and the bathroom and kitchen are great. I cannot recommend this place enough, we will definitely be back in the future.Drew2015-05-31T00:00:00Z
Sara's home was a delight to stay in. The view of Lake Como is incredible and we spent most of our time in the beautiful covered room that overlooks it. The home was very clean. The main bedroom was airy from the breeze of the lake and its four poster bed was comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen were a bit dated in style but both were very clean. Sara and her husband Roberto were very sweet- Roberto met us at the parking lot and carried my bag. Sara's mom also met us. She speaks a bit of French so that was helpful for us. The only comment I would have are that there are significant stairs that you have to climb in order to get from the parking to the house. If you are not a fit person, and even with Roberto helping, this may be a challenge for you.Erin2014-07-25T00:00:00Z
Had a perfect stay in this lovely house! The main thing is the terrace view, which is really breathtaking, but he house itself is also very nice, equipped with everything, as it is mentioned in the description. The bedroom view is the same, as the terrace, so the first thing you see in the morning is beautiful lake surrounded by mountains. the neighborhood is extremely pretty, you can take a long (or a short)) wail right from the door to the mountains or you can walk down to the lake and take the boat to any town or village o the lake. the hosts are very nice people, leaving not very far away, so if you have any problem, you can easy reach them.Alex and Maria2014-05-01T00:00:00Z
Great view, absolutely amazing! Very kind house, super tidy and clean house. The view is amazing, but it takes a little walk up the hills before getting there. But totaly worth it!Renee2017-04-11T00:00:00Z
Just as all the other reviews and photos show - this house really does have the most incredible views. You should not underestimate the climb to get up to the house however, it is hard work, particularly if you have cases or shopping. But the views are definitely worth it. We stayed for three nights, going out during the day and returning to the house in the evening. We did not go out again for dinner, mainly because we didn't want to have to do the climb again but also because it was so nice to sit on the terrace with a bottle of wine and enjoy the view. The house itself was much nicer than I was expecting, the photos do not do it justice. It was finished to a high standard and was really clean. The kitchen had everything we needed and Sara had kindly put some bits in it for our arrival. Check-in was smooth - Sara responded to all my messages promptly and met us in the car park to show us up to the house. Moltrasio itself is quite small. There is a restaurant and a small shop in the car park but we did not eat in the restaurant. At the bottom is the ferry port and there are a couple more bars and restaurants there too. If you, like me, are not a big dog fan then you should be aware that the house next door has three which are out in the garden most of the time. Whenever people walk past they put their heads through the railings and bark, a lot. I personally was not keen on this but they were behind railings and I imagine there bark is much worse than their bite! We had the most wonderful time in the house and would highly recommend it.Laura2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

Very well equipped kitchen. Nothing is missing. The location is ideal for visiting this beautiful region. We stayed there for two weeks and will be back so there is much to do.isabelle2015-08-15T00:00:00Z
The house is beautiful and spacious set in the countryside but at a stone's throw away from Mantua and other remarkable destinations. A few steps from the house there is the river along which intercepts the bike lane Oglio. Ideal for families with children but also for those seeking peace and quiet but also culture and good food. Alessia gave us a warm and friendly welcome and was always available for questions and requests before and during the stay. We plan to go equipped with bicycles!Arianna2016-03-27T00:00:00Z

What an amazing experience! The house was as listed and is overall a great space. Large kitchen with everything you need, great bathroom space and the bedrooms are filled with beds and good for larger groups as well. The house was extremely clean and very comfortable. The house is located in a very small town which is a perfect place to escape for quiet and relaxation. It is perfectly situated and is a central location to visit Parma, Verona, Mantova, Modena and Lake Garda. Most amazing are your hosts: Alessia and Stefano. They are extremely welcoming and friendly and care about your stay. They took us on an amazing walk along the river after dinner. They are also a great resource for info on where to travel to and where to eat. Overall an amazing stay and wonderful hosts. It would be my honor to visit their property again!Kevin2015-06-03T00:00:00Z

The place is perfectly located in central Verona, the room is comfortable and private. Michela is a very sweet woman, who prepared a nice breakfast, and with whom I had a very nice conversation which only made me wish for more time to get to know her! Couldn't have hoped for a better place!Anne-Marie2016-02-28T00:00:00Z
Michela was a great host, and her apartment is lovely. She gave us great tips as to where to go in the city, and even bought us breakfast! The location is wonderful and very central. Highly recommend this place.Meghan2014-08-21T00:00:00Z
Michela is a lovely lady and very caring. She was very helpful to ensure that every aspect of our stay should be perfect - and it was. The room is lovely with touches of antique lace and the lighting is very thoughtfully set up in case you need to move around after dark. The shower is wonderful and everything is very clean and neat. Michela prepared breakfast for us with fresh croissants and coffee which was greatly appreciated. The venue is very central but not at all noisy. There are several restaurants within a couple of minutes' walk and there is a breathy shopping street with all the best shops. The major tourist attractions for Verona are only a very short distance away and it was all very convenient and easy for us. We enjoyed our stay very much and would not hesitate to recommend it.Melanie2016-07-20T00:00:00Z
Michela was lovely and very welcoming - even helped us make a dinner reservation - and the apartment was beautiful and well-situated. Exactly as described. We had a bit of difficulty communicating (tried to explain that we'd be leaving early to catch our flight, but it seemed like that caught her surprise in the morning), and the keys to the apartment were hard to use, but all in all, a great place to stay.Eva2015-03-22T00:00:00Z
A lovely, airy space and in a perfect location for exploring Verona. Michela was a thoughtful and generous host, and I hope we will be able to visit her again.Tawny2015-01-17T00:00:00Z
Excellent location, hosting a unique and unsurpassed quality. Michela meet is a gift of life.Paula2017-04-27T00:00:00Z
Michela is a lovely woman, she is caring and loves a chat. Her apartment is in a fantastic location. It's roomy, clean and comfortable. She provided a nice breakfast. It's perfect for a short stay. If you have a car, you cannot park at the apartment. We found a parking garage about 1.5kms away for 15 euro a night. You can drop your bags off at the apartment with the car between certain hours only.Sarah2016-09-16T00:00:00Z
Michela was very welcoming although we are home it was very discreet. Breakfast was always fresh with pastries and bread of the day and some fruit. She put us different cards available and all information on its housing are easy to access. Apartment very well located in Verona, close to the restaurant, bar and shops. As well as monuments to visit in the city. We recommend it.Junior2015-11-11T00:00:00Z

We had a great week in Villa Torri. This is beautiful place, especially the view from the terrace to lake garda. unbelievable! we had the apartment with the 2 bedroom kitchen/living room and the big terrace for 2 couples and a baby. - definitely enough space for 1 week stay or even longer The apartment is modern, italian style. it was clean and in a ver good shape, nearly new. Andrea and Ugo are fantastic hosts, very friendly and always helpful (thanks for the barbecue!). it was a perfect week and we will come back for sure. thanks again for everything. All the best for Ugo and his family! regards TobiasTobias2016-09-18T00:00:00Z
Many thanks to Andrea and his family for this beautiful Time at "lago di Garda". We visited the lake with our two kids (4 years and 3 months). When you arrive at the Villa you can see over the whole lake. We had a very warm welcome. Everything was shown to us and nothing was missing. The house is so nice. It was rebuild last year and everything is created wunderful. You sit on the terrace and watch the lake. Even from the bed you can see the lake. It's like a dream. In the afternoon we often used the swimming pool and relaxed in the nice garden. You always find a place with or without sun. In the evening you can sit on the terrace and enjoy a glass of wine in a very pleasant sillence. So we had a great time and sure it was not the last Time to go there. And also not the last Time at Villa Torri...Martina2016-09-26T00:00:00Z
Very good arrangement for arrival and departure, the hosts have very nice care of us, the view is overwhelming, quiet, large grounds. We felt very comfortable.Ralf2016-10-29T00:00:00Z
A wonderful stay with incredible See view - just perfect!Zuckermeier2017-05-15T00:00:00Z
We've spent a wonderful week at Andrea's and his family's place. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate and the pool was still too cold, but the rest of the house and flat were perfect! Neatly renovated, well equipped, very clean, quiet and a fantastic view over lake Garda and the mountains. Anyway, a great place for holidays with culture, nature and lots of activities for old and young. But the best of all were the hosts. Although we missed Andrea several times, contact and support via phone, sms were instant and just perfect. And the chats and coffee with his parents were really great. What a nice family! We warmly recommend each of their flats in Torri!Patrick2016-05-02T00:00:00Z
A dream apartment with a unique view. Here everything was right and we love coming back.Stefan2017-04-21T00:00:00Z
We had a fantastic stay at Ugo's and Andrea's house. The appartement was of perfect use for a family of four. Modern, spacious, clean,... We enjoyed the wide terrasse, the beautiful garden and the fantastic pool area with an amazing view of Lago di Garda. We definitely will keep in mind the warm hospitality of Ugo. We're looking forward to visiting this beautiful place again.Uta2017-04-18T00:00:00Z
Perfect location if you want to perceive the real Lake Garda feeling. Andrea and the whole family make your stay unforgettable. Arrive and relax in a calm area with a spectacular view on the lake. Especially sun set while having a sun downer on the terrasse is a wonderful experience. Thanks for these lovely days in Torri del Benaco!Dieter2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

This was our first AirBnB rental, and what an incredible experience we had. The thoughtful hospitality and advice around navigating the area was amazing. The location and place is a gem. Our kids had a great time, and loved the garden including access to garden of Alan's extended family. We will come back, if we ever visit the area again!Anurag2015-04-16T00:00:00Z
Great place! Very beautiful location and friendly owners. Did not have much contact with the owner but everything was perfect.Jon2015-05-22T00:00:00Z
Barbara and Alan were outstanding hosts. Upon arrival, we found snacks, homemade beer, and a bottle of wine, among other things. There was also a very helpful booklet that they have put together on things to do and how to get around town, find the market, restaurants, etc. The town was fairly quiet, extremely beautiful, and easy to navigate by foot. We spent time swimming in the lake and enjoyed some great dinners nearby.Evan2015-07-09T00:00:00Z
Perfect house in a perfect place... hosts were perfect, nothing to add.Joël2014-08-05T00:00:00Z
Thanks for the hospitality and thoughtfulness. We enjoyed our stay. The place is very nice and neat. The lake and surrounding towns are beautiful.Michelle2017-04-04T00:00:00Z
Alan and Barbara were lovely! They set up the cot for our toddler and even brought us milk for him. Great communication and extremely welcoming.Lori2016-10-09T00:00:00Z
A beautiful little flat with an absolutely amazing view. The rooms were of a good size and super cosy and the kitchen was stocked with everything that you need and more. Barbara was also kind enough to leave a nice bottle of red wine as well as many leaflets detailing hikes, ferry timings, bus timetables etc. The apartment itself can get a little cold but presumably because it is in the mountains, however there was a nice little electric heater provided which helped. The directions provided were brilliant, making the apartment easy to find. The venue itself is also great, about a 15 min walk to the nearest port or a 15 min bus ride to Bellagio (where there is also a port). The bus stop is right outside the apartment. Cycling to Bellagio is also an option (with the bikes kindly provided) and this took us about 40 minutes. There are small shops nearby to buy fresh bread but if you're looking to cook a lot then maybe do a big shop at one of the larger towns. All in all it was a great little find for us.Punit2015-10-29T00:00:00Z

The room was very cozy, clean, nice decorated and with a lovely terrace :-) Carla- Elena's mom made us delicios breakfasts and even though she didn't speak English we were able to communicate with her with the help of (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) translate and it was very fun :-) Thanks a lot for the great hospitality!!!

We stayed with Elena and their family only for one night on our way through Italy, but we had a great time. Everyone was very helpful and we could not choose a better place to stay in Trento. The room is very nice and the terrace with the view is amazing.Branislav2015-07-08T00:00:00Z
Fantastic welcome, beautiful room and spotless! District very close to downtown and easy to get to! Amazing breakfast with an apple pie made by Carla!Ambra2016-04-25T00:00:00Z
The B & B Elena Trento, we can not recommend it more. The welcome, the tea and coffee. The breakfast is really liked. The room is accessible via two staircases and is very tastefully decorated and fully equipped. Even a pleasant balcony is available. What we liked especially the helpfulness of the family. No effort too much.Ger2016-05-22T00:00:00Z

Alan came to greet us on arrival and was very kind and helpful. The apartment is the cleanest I have seen, although all our previous Airbnb experiences have been great....this one was outstandingly clean and well equipped to make our stay perfect. Even had access to a washing machine with free detergent. Great kitchen, wine and home made beer with snacks in the fridge. Loads of steps, but you can cheat and take the little side road if your cases are heavy. Lovely terrace with yummy chilli,s which we used in our pasta on the last night. A fantastic place to stay !!Lesley2016-09-24T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful trip to Lake Como based out of Alan's apartment in Lezzeno. Alan was a wonderful host, always in touch and very responsive to any questions or help needed. The apartment itself is in the city of Lezzeno which is very close to Bellagio. We were traveling by car with family, so for us the location was perfect...with easy access to Como or Bellagio. The apartment itself had great views of the lake from the yard, and parking was never an issue. Alan also provides great directions on how to find the apartment. Overall, highly recommend this place for anyone traveling with family and with a car.Arvind2016-05-19T00:00:00Z
Many thanks to Alan and Barbara! They are very responsive and friendly hosts. The apartment is clean, comfortable, has everything you need, a beautiful garden with a huge red cat :)) We spent 5 wonderful days, the place is quiet, fabulous beauty, friendly people and smiling. Thanks also to Alan and Barbara for a surprise - it was very tasty and extremely nice!Elena2014-05-13T00:00:00Z
Had a great time at lezzeno. Came with my dad for two nights, the flat is well equipped and clean. Alan was very generous and left us lot of groceries. It is located in a beautiful area by lake Como not far from bellagio. The only down side is that there is not much parking on the street, we left our car at a private parking of one of the neighbors who was really kind. Overall it's a great deal and I'd recommend visiting there.Dror2014-10-12T00:00:00Z
The place is gorgeous, quiet, with a beautiful lake view garden to eat breakfast or anything. Alan, the owner, and his wife are an exquisite kindness and sympathy. Nearby there are three excellent restaurants accessible on foot, or in five minutes by car you get to Bellagio from which you can take various ferries and move around the lake. Lovely place, highly recommended ...Emma2013-09-13T00:00:00Z
We had a very lovely time with our family in this house in Lezzeno, it is a large and beautiful house with really friendly and guest free hosts. The lake is amazingly peaceful and only a short walk away, and the atmosphere in the village is great. Would definitely recommend a stay.Gertjan2014-07-06T00:00:00Z

We booked last-minuet but Elisa was very flexible and offered us her flat. Everything in there is absolutely new and well furnished so that you can really lean back and relax. The kitchen is good equipped and the bathroom very luxurious. Elisa was really helpful and told us where to finde a restaurant that was still open since we arrived very late in the evening. All in all a very comfortable stay with a nice view in a quiet location. Very recommendable for people who don't want to stay in a big city center but a bit apart and don't mind to drive a little bit to reach the next big city.Marc2016-04-02T00:00:00Z
The accommodation is exactly as in the photographs: large, beautiful and well-kept. We were greeted by the mother of Elisa, who was polite and discreet. The rooms were all very clean. In addition they also did find a Christmas tree in the living room! The village is very quiet, surrounded by apple orchards, suited for spending a relaxing and romantic evenings.Alice2016-12-04T00:00:00Z

What a spectacular place. We spent 2 nights in Varenna and the apartment was everything we had hoped for. Aunt Rina welcomed us when we arrived. Though she didn't speak any English and we don't speak Italian, she gave us the warmest welcome imaginable. The apartment was perfectly clean and spacious and the view was amazing. We definitely took full advantage of the picnic table on the patio. How relaxing! Just make sure you know how to secure all the shutters-- we had a pretty crazy thunder storm one night and the wind was unlike anything I've ever seen!Ashley2015-06-09T00:00:00Z
This home was incredible! Amazing view of Lake Como and the Alps. Best location in Varenna. I'd highly recommend!Isabel2017-04-30T00:00:00Z
We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Luca's lovely apartment. Plenty of room for our family of 4 plus 2 grand parents. We were met by a lovely lady who lived in the apartment below and whilst she did not speak English we understood everything she showed us and went through. Everything we needed was in the apartment and the kids loved the extra space upstairs. We caught the train from Milan Central and the short walk from the Varenna station was easy. Great value for money so would recommend to others. We loved exploring Varenna and the surrounds - make sure you do some of the pretty walks up and around the city through some small villages and castles. We discovered these ourselves by heading up the path next to the apartment but I'm sure the tourist office will have maps. We cooked at home each night with our fresh market produce from Milan. Advise to bring most of your food for self catering although the little supermarket and deli in town had most things. Great trips to Bellagio and Mennagio by ferry - nice walks through the old towns and plenty of shops and cafes to sit at to watch the world go by.Julesvern2014-06-18T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed the stunning views from Luca's lovely apartment in Varenna. We had views from every room and from the patio. Great location being only a short walk from the ferry, shops and restaurants. There were a number of steep steps to the apartment so we'd suggest you pack lightly. Luca's house was clean, comfortable and spacious and it was great having an outside table and chairs to sit at. We appreciated having plenty of hot water and a laundry. We would thoroughly recommend this house to others. Varenna is a fabulous place from which to explore Lake Como.Gai2016-09-27T00:00:00Z
Beautiful views and very convenient location. Comfortable house and helpful host.Theodora2016-10-17T00:00:00Z
How anyone could say one negative thing about this place, we do know! Firstly, Varenna is a magical place. Sitting on the terrace every day with an aperitif was one of our favorite activities. The home itself is so comfortable and well suited with a full kitchen and huge dining room table. There is another stunning view and balcony off the master bedroom that was so lovely to wake to every morning. The house is so easy to get to from the ferry, we literally walked straight off and 3 minutes up the street (yes there are stairs, don't come to Italy if you don't like stairs or hills). Wonderful hosts-one of our favorite airbnb houses to date! We can't wait to return.Alice2017-05-17T00:00:00Z
We enjoyed our stay at Luca's house. Perfect location to train station, ferry and everything else in town. Varenna is a beautiful town. Great views from the house. The only thing that would have made it more comfortable would've been a fan.Donald2016-09-06T00:00:00Z
Luca was not there to meet us but made provisions for someone to be there to welcome us. The residence is lovely and had everything for a lovely short stay. The views are wonderful and worth the walk up hill.James2015-08-10T00:00:00Z

Skip to comments.Businessman Kills Rival for Nice Time With Second Wife
Posted on 05/14/2014 4:42:37 PM PDT by nickcarraway
GOKWE businessman Cleopas Mugwira is languishing in remand prison for allegedly killing a rival suitor he caught red-handed having a nice time with his second wife in a vehicle.
Mugwira yesterday appeared before Gokwe resident magistrate Shepherd Mjanja facing a murder charge.
He was not asked to plead and was remanded in custody to May 27.
The magistrate advised him to apply for bail at the High Court.
Prosecutor Tinei Tirigo told the court that on Thursday last week, Mugwira went to Mapfungautsi residential stands in the town and on arrival found his second wife Gladys Benson having a nice time with a commuter omnibus driver whose name was not mentioned in court papers.
Mugwira became angry and confronted the pair.
He allegedly started assaulting the man with open palms and clenched fists all over the head.
The driver suffered serious injuries and was taken to Gokwe District Hospital for treatment where he was admitted.
However, his condition deteriorated and he was transferred to Gweru General Hospital where he died last Saturday of the injuries sustained from the alleged assault by Mugwira.
A report was made to the police leading to Mugwiras arrest and a murder charge against him.
I have a feeling "second wife" may not mean what you think it does here. I worked with a woman from Africa who told me all husbands have a "second wife". One at home they are married to and have children with, and one on the side they don't live with.
What is "having a nice time" a euphemism for?
>He allegedly started assaulting the man with open palms and clenched fists all over the head.<
Did the clenched fist contain a 12" blade or a hammer perhaps?
There are still operating businesses in Zimbabwe??
Zimbabwe business owner is like a Detroit land baron.
That doesn't seem fair.

Talyxian-Stalkers(日本語:タリクシアン・ストーカー, also called "T-stalkers" or "Stalkers" for short) are creatures that are belonging to group of talyxian species. They correspond to feline in the Earth, hence are treated as "cat" by people.
They are quadrupedal and share many of the surface features to a whole of talyxian creatures, specifically the inorganic parts of their head and various details on their bodies. And they have very various individual particularities on their appearances, especially to heads. Of course, they are not machine, cyborg, or robot beings.
Some of them can talk, but they generally fall into animal beings and non-industrialized life although they have high intelligence. They are technically considered sentient race, but they are generally treated as the intermediate of an animals and a people, they have no perfect 'human right' unlike Eltus race.
The reproductive system and genitalia are very unique among them.
Physical description
As common features of talyxian species, their flesh, tongue, mouth and genitals are gray, as well as their blood.
The angular shape parts of their body are composed of fur that has been compressed and has hardened which results in their body being incredibly robust. All of them have very strong jaws and retractable claws like felines. They are also extremely fertile, and have a slim head to reduce birth pains on their mother when they are born.
Some of them have insects-like antenna on their part which is near to their maxillary tip.
All of them have an incredibly tiny hole of around 1 millimeter located on their cranial region. It goes unnoticed by most and is something that can be considered their "weak spot": If somehow an object the size of a needle is pricked into that hole, the individual will immediately die. Talyxian-rooters are the only ones who do know the exact position of the hole, as well as how to perform euthanization with it.
Generally, all of their newborns born as hermaphrodite. But when hitting puberty, they can choose what set of genitalia they have, in other words their gender. (Everything will be written at next section.)
All t-stalkers have a slightly protruding duct for an anus. Males' testicles are housed within the body as in reptiles and fish. The clitoris is comparatively large in females.
Nipple position also varies between males and females: male nipples are located on the upper chest (as in humans), mature females have multiple breasts on their abdomen (as in quadrupedal mammals). Newborns have nipples located at the middle of the abdomen which develops into one of the above sets according to one's chosen sex.

Some t-stalkers also do not necessarily fall into this common anatomy description.
Reproduction and gender system
When t-stalkers conceive, they will carry two embryos, one male and one female. Soon, however, the male embryo will merge with the female one, causing the child to be born as hermaphrodite. Should this not happen, what would have been the newborn stalker's male genitals will instead result in the birth of a talyxian-rooter. These extremely rare cases of the embryos failing to merge causes two offspring to be born: A talyxian-rooter and a female stalker.
The probability of a stalker becoming pregnant with a rooter after mating is of ~3%, but this increases to ~12% if one of the parents used a rooter's sperm.
In general, all t-stalker newborns are born as hermaphrodites, but they are able to choose what genitalia they will keep when they hit puberty. Because of this, adult t-stalkers have a variety of sexes ranging from solely male/female, to hermaphrodites as well as intersexed.
Regarding their diet, the best nutriment for stalkers is fresh raw meat. They are technically considered omnivorous, but they prefer meats more than vegetables. Stalkers who live in more urban areas often have difficulties in finding raw meats, and instead only have access to processed or cooked foods. That's why the quality of an urban stalker's fur is rather poor compared to their rural counterparts.
Generally they hunt small animals or insects and so on, large one may be able to hunt deer-like creatures. Urban stalkers may do scavenging on garbage bags, some of them may be fed by Eltus people. As for urban stalker who is good for ridding of vermin such as rats, may be treated as 'good cat' by people.
Some of them may be not confined to their common diet, may not do hunting and may eat minerals and so on.
In rare cases, part of them may attack to Eltus race, and eat 'Eltus flesh'.
Ecology and behavior
Despite their high intelligence, they have very low interest in higher intellectual pursuits, instead preferring to spend their time hunting, eating, mating or sleeping.
Urban stalkers can talk some, completely wild stalkers can't talk in most cases. Generally they are living as wildlife, so they don't have completely personal rights unlike other race.
Most of them are treated as "talking feral-cats", t-stalkers who get a job in the same way as Eltus race are few. If they work with Eltus race in city, they are good at helping by wild guess as feral animal. (e.g. as for them who work in digging, they are good at finding superior mineral resources. If t-stalker who works at a dentist exist, she/he is good at finding a decayed tooth immediately.)
It is worth noting that most of them seem to have a strong finicky, biased way of thinking and sexual deviances for unknown reasons, often showing sadistic or masochistic behavior.
They are generally known as docile cats, but part of them having a monstrously violent and sexual deviances may be harmful for Eltus race. Such they are treated as a man-eater, and Eltus people will slay them if injured parties are increased.
