Isn't it wonderful to feel like you're on vacation all year round? Maybe it's because I was born here, but for me, Lake Como is the most beautiful place in the world! Together with my wife Stefania, we will do everything to make you feel comfortable and share these beautiful sensations with you. We look forward to seeing you!

Far from the traffic and pollution of cities, Sorico is the ideal place to spend pleasant moments of relax, sport, culture, good food and adventure on Lake Como.

Super hospitable reception by the host. Beautiful location on the north side of Lake Como. The lake and various restaurants are within walking distance. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was sufficient and delicious. The B&B is located along a busy road, but definitely recommended.

The Swallow is our favorite place! We have been coming here for years, both in spring and summer. The place is made even more magical by Stefania and Gianpaolo, fantastic managers of B&B Il Nido dello Svasso, who know how to welcome and make guests feel comfortable excellently.

My husband and I stayed one night at B&B Il Nido dello Svasso and to say that we had a great time is an understatement. Extremely clean and very welcoming room. The owner waited for us even though we arrived after dinner, around 10:00 PM. Furthermore, in response to our request to check-out later, if possible, the owner accommodated us even though there was a reservation for the next day and allowed us to stay until 12:30. Needless to say, highly recommended and if the opportunity arises, we will definitely return.

Equipped with all the comforts, the owner is really kind and helpful, located right on the lake which is accessed via a pedestrian entrance. In short, a good base to stay in comfort… Good and plentiful breakfast.

Guest House Il Nido dello Svasso is a structure also equipped with a pleasant garden ideal for enjoying moments of relaxation and is located near a pedestrian path that allows you to walk along the lakeshore easily and without the need for special footwear or equipment. The managers are friendly and helpful with the guests.

At Guest House Il Nido dello Svasso life is a real blast, there is no risk of mishap with the soft mattress! Follow Giampaolo's lead, he's a real ace of irony! Book at Guest House Il Nido dello Svasso and you will never fall down... come on, what a blast!

This bed and breakfast is a clear recommendation and goes on our list in case we come back to the area. Welcoming hosts, spotlessly clean accommodation, and a generous, delicious breakfast. If one wants to nitpick, it's the location on the road. But the rooms face the lakeside, providing a view of the lake and the mountains. Perfect!

damiano

Great place, great hospitality, clean and tidy place, we had a great time, only a 9 rating for the location which personally I would have rated higher due to the calm and tranquility the location offers but the lake is splendid and obviously there are other wonderful places, we will definitely return, highly recommended place.

Very clean and tidy. Comfortable bed and very quiet location where the structure is located. Very nice garden where we could have a snack under the pergola. Very convenient for a walk by the lake. Very clean. The owners are very courteous. Definitely recommended.

Correct room. Very clean. Lake view from the room. Adequate and tasty breakfast. The big downside is the very busy road passing right next to the house, so a bit complicated to sleep.

We had a great time, very pleasant and comfortable structure, and the owners were available but not intrusive. I recommend it!

Grazie per l'ottima recensione, troppo buoni! A presto!

donatella

B&B located 50 steps from the lake shore in one of the most beautiful and picturesque areas of Lake Como from a naturalistic point of view. Extremely kind, helpful, and attentive managers to the care of the B&B down to the smallest details. Large room, very clean, comfortable beds. Excellent and plentiful breakfast. Highly recommended for both couples and families.

The kindness and simplicity with which we were welcomed was superb. The breakfast prepared for us in the morning was fabulous. It will definitely be our choice for every time we need to go to Gera Lario.

I spent 6 nights with my husband and our daughter. We stayed in the attic converted into a triple room, with a small private bathroom. Very clean and welcoming environment, window with lake view. Very quiet place but close to several tourist locations. We also took advantage of the bike rental service with a beautiful tour on Pian di Spagna and up to the mouth of the Adda. The owners are very hospitable and at the same time discreet. Gianpaolo is always available for directions and advice on various itineraries. Excellent and abundant breakfast. Absolutely recommended.

Great place in a recent building, beautiful garden, possibility of bikes, abundant breakfast with homemade cakes and/or cookies, and above all, the manager Giampaolo very kind, excellent connoisseur of the places in the area and a 'jack of all trades' for history, geography, botany, and much more. A truly pleasant vacation.

The structure is very well maintained and clean. Convenient for the town center, lake, parking, garden, and quietness. Excellent breakfast served in the beautiful garden. Through a small gate, you can access the lake directly. The owner is very kind and helpful. Good quality price ratio. Recommended.

From the very first moment, the courtesy of the two owners made us feel at ease. It's a shame about the adverse weather conditions; otherwise, we could have commented on a "post-breakfast" morning cycling along the lake. The room was a lovely attic with simple but rustic furnishings. The adjoining bathroom was equipped with all comforts. A small misunderstanding: my partner and I wanted a private bathroom. In reality, if there had been other guests in the B&B, we would have had to share it. Another important aspect. Included in the price is the "Carta dello Svasso", which is a small booklet of discounts ranging from dining to bicycle rentals, up to interesting guided tours in the area. In short, we recommend it to everyone, and go Sampdoria!
