Essentia Guest House

The rooms are simple, but nice and there is everything you need. The view on Lake Como is epic!! We had the junior sweet with 3 windows and from all of them you can see the lake. Incredible! The drive to the house is an adventure as it goes strait through the historic village of Molina. The host gave us a ride when ever we needed. Without any delay after having announced it 15 minutes before as agreed. Furthermore there is a hot tub of cause also with lake view!! Really awesome! But the best of this guest house is the host Gianluca. He is the perfect host, friendly and serving and always aware of his guest's wellbeing. The breakfast and dinner served is also perfect. The dinner was extremely tasty. So all in all more than expected and a beautiful guest house. Clear recommendation in all regards!!

Surely a nice place, with a beautiful view, and the owner is gentle and available. On the other hand, there's. a visible lack of maintenance and housekeeping as per the attached photos. Various insects in the room's corners (mainly spiders and insects in the spiderwebs), the bed of the SUITE was a complete disaster, extremely squeaky we woke up during the night multiple times (and we are not picky people at all), and the pillow uncomfortable, which we could expect from a low/mid quality Motel but not from such an expensive "guest house" in the MAIN SUITE. Visible Tv cables in the main room. Good the Jacuzzi but there is a lack of maintenance in the back garden too. The food is average/low quality. It's also impossible to move from/to the structure without the owner's assistance and car.

The room was large a bedroom a sitting room and toilet/shower room. Plenty of space for two travellers and a child. The views are the attraction of this guest house just magnificent. We did walk down twice to the village centre to collect our car and back once, which was a struggle for us but it is doable. We would have appreciated more room in the bathroom for our toiletries and medicines. On the day we arrived a bottle of water would have been greatly appreciated we just did not have time to pick up a bottle. The breakfasts were fine just as we ordered them the night before and served at the time we ordered them. We ate once there and what we had was very good and the red wine was reasonably priced and very good. We would have eaten there more frequently but the menu did not change the nights we were there and it was quite limited. It is a good spot for touring the lake, Bellagio is not far away and from there you can get a boat to most places - villa Carlotta is well worth a visit. we did not see neither were we offered ant time in the spa tub not sure it was available.

A stone house on the hill with an amazing view over the lake. Friendly host and great service. There is an option to hike further up the mountain, which we did and really like. All and all we highly recommend this place!

Comment rester objectif ! Alors commençons par Redecilla del camino... Bon c est pas"La petite maison dans la prairie".... Mais plutôt le territoire de la nationale 120. Pas de commerces et la localité fait un peu penser à un village espagnol écrasé par la chaleur un dimanche après midi.... Personne !.. Mais il y a l albergue essential qui nous sauve de nos 6 ou 7 heures de marche. Hôte exceptionnel... Demander lui du bethoven au piano et Pink floyd à la guitare... Il excelle. C est super propre. Cuisine 5 étoile et accueil parfait. Après plus de 1200 km sur le camino frances assurément dans le top 3 des albergue visitées.
