Avr. Valutation: 9/10Our accommodation was very clean and the rooms were spacious with modern bathrooms. There was a large comfortable living room for the guests.The breakfasts were very good and substantial. Our hostess was really lovely and she spoke fluent English. She was very helpful in that she spent some time advising us on where we should go and what we should see. En route to Italy a bottle of brandy broke in our son's luggage and our hostess happily washed and dried all his clothes.She also left tea and coffee in the living room so that we could help ourselves during the day/evening. Casa Pini also has newly built selfcontained units which looked very nice which we would request if we were to visit again. We highly recommend Casa Pini.

Avr. Valutation: 9/10Michele and her father were extreemely nice. There was a problem with the room. We ordered two rooms but the nice family that stayed in one of them could not leave so we got a room with 5 beds which was a little inconvenient but we mannaged . And they appologized for it all the time and reduced the price. We only stayed one night so it did not bother us too much.

Our room was quite cold as the radiators turn off when they get too hot. Also, they are renovating the bed and breakfast, and the work was occuring directly outside our bedroom window -- and they started at 8am! Thankfully we just needed a place to lay our head, but the noise was certainly not pleasant.

Avr. Valutation: 10/10We stayed at Casa Pini during the off peak season in late December and thus had the advantage of not having to deal with a lot of the tourists that come during the peak season. Michela was just wonderful, generous and very accommodating. Our rooms and bathrooms were excellent and of a good size. It was a good walk down the hill to the ferry and shops which were not far from the B&B. The scenery, naturally is just beautiful. We would be more than happy to return to Casa Pini at Griante and recommend it to anyone wanting to stay around the Lake Como region.
Nothing really. Whilst this doesn't have anything to do with the B&B, I wish the Summer Cruises that are available during the summer peak times were available to us in the off peak season. It would've been so nice to cruise the lake on the day we were there as the day was cool, but it was just ideal & perfect for that type of cruise. We caught the ferry to Belagio though and that was delightful.

Avr. Valutation: 10/10It was a lovely place to stay and from which to base day trips. The walk up the steps from the main road and bus line was lovely and breathtaking (both in its beauty and the number of steps required). We liked the small village and the personal warmth of the people. The staff were extremely helpful in assisting with bus and train schedules and providing information about the area sites and things to do. They also provided help with booking further accommodations after we left Griante. We loved being able to open the window, listen to the nearby church bells ring the hour, and let the cool mountain air fill the room.
When the B&B was full, there was a shortage of hot water in the shower. Breakfast was adequate but became a little boring after a week. The restaurants closed from mid-afternoon until 7:00 pm. Wireless internet is not provided.

Avr. Valutation: 8/10We stayed from 26.03.09 till 04.04.09 The Casa situates in a good place, from where farries run to main villages which are worth visiting. There are buses in the area but be aware that in low-season there are few of them. From Como town it takes apprx. 50 minutes by bus. Last bus leaves at 20-30 and taxies are too expensive (70 euro for taxi vs 8 euro by bus). In any case write / call Casa's master Michaela, who is realy very nice and helpfull. She will describe you the current situation with buses, weather etc. We were lucky as there were no bells when we stayed (FYI it's not a person who himself rings the bells, but it is done automatically). So on my opinion it's not worth heaingr them every half an hour. Take an advantage of the vilage to have a few hikings in it and surroundings. It is very cosy and picturesque. There are villas of famous people situated in this village.
There were few misunderstanding with beds ( we wanted two twins, but when we arrived late at night we had to stay in a double) But this was corrected next day and we enjoyed twin bed room the whole holiday.
Also if you need some knives, folks and cups - don't forget to ask about what exactly you need
The weather was mostly rainy when we stayed in the spring . 5 days out 9 was raining.

Lake Como is stunning, and staying in Griante situates you perfectly to enjoy it to the fullest. Casa Pini was comfortable, accessible, and friendly. We were able to park our rental car out front and walk down to the ferry to go to Bellagio and Varenna. Our hostess was extremely helpful in assisting us with maps, ferry schedules, and ideas for what to see. Don't miss the view from San Martino above Griante, or the equally impressive view from Castle Vezio situated above Varenna across the lake.
