Welcome!
Welcome to our house! We are happy to host you and hope you have an enjoyable and relaxing stay. This page is designed to provide you with all the information you need to make the most of your experience, while respecting the home and the rules of the Nativoo tribe.
The apartment is managed by Nativoo, a benefit society that pursues measurable and concrete sustainability goals in its bylaws. The apartment is part of the NativooForGood project, which pursues sustainable development goals for short-term rentals in the Lake Como and Valsassina area.
LA ROSETA CARAMEL apartment located in Via Pino n. 4A , is located on the ground floor from the pedestrian entrances , offers a bright living area with a kitchenette and direct access to the panoramic terrace, a double bedroom and a large bathroom. It can accommodate up to 4 people, thanks to the two single sofa beds in the living room. For larger groups, it can be booked together with the Créme apartment, for a total capacity of up to 8 guests.
It is easily reached by car, by train from Fiumelatte station, or on foot, taking 20 minutes to walk along a historic medieval path that once connected Lecco to the upper lake.
Location that will give you a unique experience in the heart of one of the most iconic villages of Lake Como, where you can admire fiery sunsets from the large terrace overlooking the lake. The apartment, recently renovated and furnished with care, is located within a detached house dedicated to short-term rentals.
Fiumelatte is known for having one of the shortest streams in Italy, about 250 meters long, and for its fascinating characteristic of flowing only from March to October, then disappearing in the winter months. This phenomenon has aroused the curiosity of travelers and scholars, including Leonardo da Vinci, who mentioned it in his writings.

The regulations may change, so to be on the safe side it is best to refer to the City’s website: SITO WEB
In Italy there is an obligation to report guests of non-hotel facilities to the police headquarters. The house manager is responsible for collecting and verifying guest data and reporting them to the police headquarters within 24 hours for stays longer than a day and immediately for stays shorter than 24 hours.
Failure to submit data in the timeframe prescribed by law is a criminal offense.
Italian law provides that for short rentals (i.e., up to 29 nights) it is not necessary to file a rental contract; nevertheless, for greater protection and clarity between the parties Nativoo calls for the signing of a set of house rules that clarify the obligations and rights of the parties.
About 24h before check-out Nativoo will send a message containing useful information to better manage the release of the property.
These rules can be viewed at this link: www.nativoo.it/check-out
