Buongiorno! My name is Anette de Boer and I have been living and working as a dietician in Italy since 1987. It is a real pleasure for my compatriots to enjoy the Italian life in the midst of my current villagers. The last two weeks of August I stay in the house myself and then take the bike to the local beach or to the bay "Riva Bianca", just before Varenna, a true jewel on Lake Como.

In the weekends I go into the mountains, where you can go hiking. Many trails start walking 20 minutes uphill from the house. A visit to nearby Milan or Bergamo is also definitely worth it. Add to that the many excellent restaurants, aperitifs and cappuccinos and you have "La Dolce Vita!".

Had a wonderful time in Mandello Del Lario!
We were welcomed with coffee and got a lot of tips!
You stay fit because you live on 4 floors.
The location is fine! Small lack of a slightly more spacious balcony to ...

This makes me very happy. I especially put the 10 on hygiene in my pocket, in appreciation of the hard cleaning. The remark that the balcony is long and narrow and not a terrace is justified. The laundry will be dry in no time,...

What a beautiful picture you have added of the waterfalls in Bellano! I am very happy with the appreciation of the location of the house. People often think that sitting right by the lake in the old village center would be the ...

In the period from July 30 to August 6 we were hospitably received by Anette in a nice apartment in Manedella del Lario where there are good opportunities to go to the lido (beach) and by train to Milan and other cozy villages ...

Thank you for so much appreciation. It is mutual. The house was left so tidy that I wondered if you had been there at all. I have just finished two weeks in my own house and it is and remains a pleasure in Mandello del Lario. <...

Cancelled in 2020 during the first lockdown, we didn't dare. We did make the deposit and Anette asked if we wanted to come again next year. That was actually fine. But we ourselves found it difficult to capture anything now.
