Dario was a pleasure! His English is limited, and my Italian is virtually non-existent, but he brought along his neice who translated. Ferries weren't leaving from Castro during Floating Piers as far as I could tell, so Dario lent me a bicycle to get into Lovere to get them from there. The apartment is right on the lake with spectacular views and a wonderful restaurant just down the street. All in all, I found Dario's place to be totally 5 stars in every regard. Don't miss it!
