Amazing view of the lake from the property. It’s a 40 minutes bus ride to Bellargio but Sophie and Luca are wonderful and flexible with their shuttle service to and from the bus stops

This place is a unique gemstone. It’s an adventure to get to it, but you won’t have to do the driving, you will have the most memorable drive through ancient town built into the side of the mountain and the owners car will get a couple of more scratches but it’s all worth it. The view is the Best we have encountered in Italy and you will meet the owners pets and maybe will have the pleasure seeing their flying squirrel that lives on the fig tree. Amazing experience.

Thank you Gianluca & Matteo!!!
The host went above and beyond helpful. Our flight was delayed, our Uber cancelled twice, we ended up getting there 3 hours after last check in, but Gianluca & Matteo were there for us and saved the day by getting us safely to the guest house. A fantastic breakfast with spectacular views, I would recommend this place to anyone.

The house is a throw back into another error but the setting is absolutely stunning with views north across Lake Como bookended by lush, green steep mountains. You need to be met by the homeowner Gianluca in the small town of Molina and he picks you up in a small fiat. You leave your car there and he comes to collect you and your luggage. The reason is simply, once you set off up the hill, as the car barely fits between the ancient homes on either side of the cobbled stone narrow street. Don’t worry as you won’t be isolated during your stay (you can if you choose) as he will shuttle you back to your car. From within hours of your check-in Gianluca will WhatsApp you all the arrive details to include map directions to the dinner, breakfast and drinks menu. He and his staff, including Stella on breakfasts are extremely attentive. If you want medicinal quiet, it’s doesn’t get any better than Essentia!!

Amazing view the owner Gianluca was a great host. The room is very spacious and excellent breakfast in the morning. He gave us a ride to the nearest bus station and picked us up. Slightly away from the main attractions however we did all of that during the day and relaxed in the evening

We really enjoyed our stay at Essentia Guest House. Gianluca went above and beyond. Met us to shuttle us back and forth to the location, his dining options were excellent, and he even took us to the local train station. This is a quaint and charming experience with gorgeous views of lake como, and you really feel immersed into the culture. Highly recommend.

Wonderful place to disconnect and relax. Gianluca was an awesome host and picked me up at the bus stop (I didn’t rent a car). He also accommodated my vegetarian meal requests. Really beautiful view of Lake Como from the hills. There is a hot tub to relax in the evenings, very nice place, room had a fireplace as well. Superb experience, I read and relaxed and left energized for more adventures.

The host and staff are all very helpful and hospitable, especially with their shuttle car service, considering the property sits along a private and extremely narrow windy road that goes up the mountainside, which is inaccessible by bus or private taxi beyond a certain point.
