Hi, I am visiting Lake Como in late September and am trying to get a gauge on how often the ferries will run. I'm specifically looking for a Sunday between Tremezzo and San Giovanni. The ferry schedule for that far out has not been posted on the Navigazione Laghi website yet so I was wondering if anybody remembers from previous years. Thanks!
My fiancé (30M) and I (29F) purchased 1 half of a duplex in Massachusetts 3 years ago. The duplex is a standalone building and is not a part of a larger complex. It is governed by an HOA trust with bylaws, and the 2 trustees are 2 owners of the units (my fiancé and the other homeowner).
Before purchasing the home, we looked up the other homeowner and saw that it was owned solely by a woman who had lived there since the building was built in 2005. When we moved in, the homeowner and her boyfriend introduced themselves and were polite. My fiancé and the boyfriend agreed to take turns mowing the lawn (it was July).
Shortly after moving in, we began to have problems with the boyfriend. He suddenly one week stopped mowing the entire lawn and only mowed the portion on his side of the building. He also would play very loud music for hours and hours on end, all while his girlfriend (the homeowner) was not home. The bylaws specifically state that any speakers should not be played at a volume that can be heard in the other unit. The music would stop just minutes before she pulls into the driveway. The boyfriend does not seem to have a consistent job and is home almost 24/7. He does not drive/have a car and rarely leaves with his girlfriend. The girlfriend is gone most of the time, coming home occasionally late at night or in the morning. At this point we did not have the homeowners phone number and did not want to confront the boyfriend and cause conflict. We lived with blaring music for 2 years.
Things escalated in December of 2025 when the boyfriend began coming to our door to harass and yell at us about the shared driveway. He was very aggressive when speaking to my fiancé at the door. After one unsuccessful attempt by him demanding we move a visitor’s car, he called the police. An officer came to both units and ultimately relayed to us that he explained to him that it is private property and there is nothing the police can do about the car.
There was another incident when my fiancé and I were eating dinner at our kitchen table with a slider door to our deck and backyard beyond open. The boyfriend was roaming around the yard behind and beside our unit and then began to yell at us through the screen door from the yard.
We eventually got the homeowners phone number and reported these incidents to her, asking that all contact go through the trustees via text message. We also continue to experience the loud music from the boyfriend when the homeowner isn’t home. We occasionally text her and ask for the music to please be turned down. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t.
The boyfriend has essentially ruined our experience in our home. His aggressive behavior makes me feel unsafe to do things like sit on my deck alone or have guests over. At times when we just want to enjoy a nice dinner or relax on the couch, we have to listen to blaring music. Any advice on what to do would be appreciated. It is difficult to see a remedy other than moving, which we are not in a position to do until at least next spring.
