L'appartement de Luca est parfaitement situé, propre et avec du charme. Merci pour l'acceuil, Luca est très accomodant.

The apartment is much bigger then expected and is very clean also close to the station and lakeside.Just needed another comfortable chair.

We loved the location, really convenient to local restaurants and the beautiful Lake Lecco. The accommodation was lovely, better than the photos, really spacious, clean and a little bit quirky.

Ottima esperienza, Luca è stato disponibile e puntuale, e la casa è perfetta, e molto più grande di quanto sembri dalle foto.

Ottima posizione vicino alla stazione centrale pur restando in una zona residenziale, ambiente pulito e confortevole

Wir haben uns in Lucas Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt. Sie ist sauber, geräumig und interessant eingerichtet. Zu Fuß ist man ganz schnell am See, bei Geschäften und Restaurants (im Ristorante Larius war die Pizza sensationell!). Luca hat SMS auch immer sehr schnell beantwortet.

Superbe séjour dans l'appartement de Luca. L'endroit est calme, spacieux, propre et charmant. A deux minutes à pieds du lac, c'est l'idéal pour visiter Lecco et ses alentours. Luca a été un hôte très agréable qui a fait le maximum pour être disponible et nous renseigner. Nous recommandons !

Tutto perfetto! Luca è stato gentilissimo e disponibile!

EEN WARM Welkom vriendelijk en gastvrij, Kregen een fles wijn uit de wijnkelder aangeboden zo leuk.

Beautifully modern apartment, well equipped with everything you need. This apartment boasts stunning views of the lake. Lorenzo is the perfect host and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you again! :)

Lorenzo is the perfect host. He met us at the station and helped with our luggage. The apartment is truly beautiful and immaculate. Lorenzo has thought of everything. It is equipped to perfection with enough crockery and cutlery to throw a huge dinner party! The view never ceased to amaze us and it really is 'sunset on the lake' as the sun hits the lake directly in front of the apartment at sunset. We loved the kitchen, the furniture,the attention to detail, the extremely well stocked cupboards, and our own wine cellar! Bellano is charming and residential. We also met Lorenzo's parents who are very warm and welcoming and lovely people and attended a concert in the local concert hall designed by Lorenzo- he also designed and built this amazingly beautiful house. We loved it all and hope to return one day. If we were to return, we would try to hire a car as it was difficult for us to climb the 258 steps up from the town. Lorenzo helped us a lot with lifts and we are very grateful. We are in our 60s though and I have arthritis in my knees. So we did ok with the climb. It's easier to walk on the road than take the steps. We far preferred this part of Lake Como to the part down towards Como. It is far less commercialised, a real community and you can easily get to all the highlights such as Bellagio,Mennagio, Varenna, Lenno. I don't need to tell you about shops as Lorenzo is excellent at that. Thank you to Lorenzo and his family for a wonderful week and for preparing such a lovely apartment for us and for the bottle of Prosecco which we drank sitting on the balcony overlooking the pool and the lake. We are missing it already and have to be content with our back garden with no lake. This was the first time we had used Airbnb and what an introduction! I don't know if others will live up to this but we shall try. Grazie mille, Lorenzo e la tua famiglia.

The most amazing Air B'n'B - I can't stop thinking about! The studio is huge and the photos do not do it justice. You literally cannot take your eyes off the view. Bellano is pretty small but with a car you're fine and you can take boats from Verrano to Bellagio and other spots. We stayed 2 nights and had the perfect trip. Lorenzo very friendly and accommodating. Couldn't have asked for a better stay and can't recommend highly enough. Stay here!

Wonderful place close to the lake!! The house was superb and the hosts were absolutely welcoming!! We will definitely be back. :)

Everything about Lorenzo's place is awesome! The view is amazing, and the pool is better than it looks in the pictures. Lorenzo is one of the nicest Airbnb members I have come across. He was very responsive, and welcoming. The sofa-bed is not your standard sofa bed, it is very comfortable and well designed. The apartment is well-equipped with kitchen items, coffee, and tea.

Apartment is very modern, well designed and well equipped and provides for really comfortable stay for a couple or small family in friendly open space set up. The views of the lake are truly breathtaking. The location of the house ensures privacy while you are still walking distance to Bellano down town and railway station. We truly enjoy staying at Lorenzo's place and hope to be back one day. Lorenzo was always available for any inquiry.

I almost hate to leave this review because this place is so great that I want to keep it all to myself! The property itself is clean, super comfortable, stylish, conveniently located with an amazing view of the lake. Lorenzo is a fantastic host and the town is the least touristy on the lake, offering a respite from the crowds at bellagio and verrena. Quite simply it's just so so wonderful. We want to go back ASAP!

Cinzia en haar zus hebben ons heel hartelijk ontvangen. Het huisje is helemaal in overeenstemming met de foto's en dat op een toplocatie. Wat een geweldig uitzicht. Het italiaans diner dat Cinzia en haar mama voor ons klaarmaakte was absoluut fantastisch. Een echte aanrader!

The lake house was wonderful. It was on a nice calm part of the lake and an easy drive to local restaurants and shops. Cinzia and her family made us dinner for our first night and it was wonderful! She had all the necessities for you available, and had other items in the pantry and fridge available to purchase. There is parking available, and the house is right on the main road. There is some noise from the cars and train, but it wasn't very bad. We had a very peaceful stay at the house and would love to return for our next getaway.

Week - end parfait dans un lieu incroyable, Cinzia et sa famille ont été très accueillant et sympathiques. Un tout grand merci pour cet accueil chaleureux et le repas que vous avez cuisiné pour nous qui était délicieux !Grazie Mille Cinzia !!!

Cinzia was very prompt in all communication. She offered to provide a traditional Italian home cooked meal for a price. We accepted and enjoyed the meal thoroughly. It was outstanding and great to have a dinner for us already on the first day of our arrival. The complimentary bottle of wine and the many kitchen cooking basics, like olive oil, balsamic vinegar, coffee, tea etc. we're very nice to have. This unit was very clean and provided modern appliances. It included a high tech shower with vertical jet streams, wand shower or rain shower from above, 2 upper blue lights that would stream light rays down on each side. This reminded me of Start Trek, "beam me down, Scottie." The shower also had a switch to turn the radio on so you can turn up the volume and perform you first Italian opera if you want to. The unit is right on the lake. Every morning I had breakfast outside by the lake and a few ducks or swans would come by to greet me and then continue on their way. The only draw back to this unit is that it is too far out of town from Varenna to walk to so having a car would be good if it's important to you to be able to walk to town. The taxi service is expensive. It costs us 15 E each time we used the taxi (and that was for a one-way ride). You could walk to Lierna, which we did, but Lierna is a much smaller town than Varenna and there isn't much to do there except a couple of restaurants and a grocery store. I highly recommend this unit for honeymooners. The gardens are really colorful and cute and the isolation might be the perfect setting for . . .

Cinzia was very patient with us as we missed our train to Varenna and we're a little late to check in. The house is wonderful though if you're 6'7" like myself you may find certain doorways a little low. The house is directly on the lake and there was coffee and tea provided so we were able to sit outside in the morning with our drinks and take in the beautiful view. The house is a little outside of Varenna but you can take the train from Varenna to Lierna which is the city closer to her house. Tickets for that train can be purchased at the Sister convenience store about two blocks from the train station if the train station office is closed. Overall we would highly recommend this place. We wish we could have stayed there longer.

This is a place to unwind, and slow down. The view itself will help you to sit, exhale, and relax. Cinzia gave us a warm welcome to this lovely cottage. We threw our itinerary out the window, and just sat and admired the view, relaxing, reading, enjoying good wine. We had a lovely meal in Varenna, but cooked several evenings in her fully equipped kitchen, basking in the sunset and the view of the lake. It's an easy walk into Lierna, where there is an excellent small market for dinner supplies, and a five minute drive to Varenna. Highly recommended.

This is a very special place. It is quite secluded and this is its beauty. It's wonderful waking up to such incredible changing views. The fact that the property has a sauna makes it all the more desirable to go into the lake for a dip. Very special to have the lake to yourself for a swim! We were without a car but managed to get around by train and cabs. If you are going to rely on the train be sure to check the schedule as they aren't very regular - they appear to be on the hour to Varenna. Bare in mind it's about a 10-15 walk to the train station. The cabin is well equipped with basic provisions (the homemade pasta sauce is a must have!) and the supermarket isn't too far for a top up (10 minute walk). The cabin is very cosy and I would recommend it for 3 people (who aren't too tall) although it was a bit tight with our luggage. Staying at the cabin was a very special way to experience the lake - I would definitely return.

We had a lovely family holiday in Lierna. Breakfast with the ducks by the lake, walking around the hills, homemade pasta from the restaurant up the road. Perfect.

A 200% satisfait L appartement est spacieux , d une propreté irréprochable et très bien situé avec vue sur le lac et la montagne. En se qui concerne Mr Alvaro on ne peut pas rêver mieux c est une personne très accueillante prévenante et d une extrême gentillesse il nous a accueilli comme quelqu un de sa propre famIlle et à eu de tres bon conseils on se qui concerne la visite de la région. Endroit à conseiller à qui quonque voudrait visiter le lac de come On y reviendra Merci Mr Alvaro

Dès notre arrivée Alvaro a été très accueillant, chaleureux et prévenant (boissons fraiches, et produits de premières nécessité à notre disposition). Logeant au-dessus de l'hébergement, nous nous sommes sentis chez nous, Alvaro étant discret et restant disponible. Il connait très bien la région et les activités à faire (montagne, lacs et évènements). Si vous êtes passionné de voyages, lui aussi ! Dommage que notre anglais ait été si limité ! L'hébergement est bien situé, à 5 mn à pied du cœur de la ville de Mandello et à proximité directe du lac. De petites plages où l'on peut se baigner sont proches. Nous avons été enchanté et avons regretté de partir, malgré un séjour de plus de deux semaines... Il n'est pas impossible que nous revenions!

Unser Comersee Urlaub war ein großes Vergnügen. Vor allem weil wir die Unterkunft genauso wie auf den Bilder und der Beschreibung vorgefunden haben. Super sauber, sehr gepflegt und total gemütlich. Unser Gastgeber Alvaro hat uns einen herzlichen Empfang bereitet und uns bei Fragen über die Gegend oder bei unseren Planung für Ausflüge sehr geholfen. Alles in allem ein super schöner und gelungener Urlaub. Wir würden jeder Zeit wieder kommen und können "Villino Lario" nur empfehlen. Vielen vielen Dank für die nette und liebevolle Gastfreundschaft. Monika und Martin

Koimme itsemme erittäin tervetulleeksi ja hyvin vastaanotetuiksi. Saimme kaiken tarvitsemamme informaation ja asiointi sujui englanniksi oikein mainiosti. Asunto oli viihtyisä ja erittäin siisti ja sijaistsi hyvällä paikalla. Thanks Alvaro, we felt us very wellcome and welltreated. Our host Alvaro spoke good English and gave us useful information for the questions we had. The apartment was very cozy, clean and well located. We enjoyed our staying a lot. Do recommend if looking for a place to stay next to the lake Como.

We've have very much enjoyed our holiday in Villino Lario! Alvaro is a very kind person and made us feel at home straight away. The house has everything you need. There is a private outdoor space in the front and in the back. The veranda in the back looks out over the shared garden where Alvaro put a swing and played football with our son. Very close to the appartment there are some nice quiet beaches. Mandello is a nice town and has boat and train connections to other towns around the lake. Thanks again Alvaro!

Our stay here was perfect and we couldn't have asked for anything else as we had everything. Alvaro was a fantastic host and was quick at replying to any communication. On arrival he gave us a detailed explanation on the area and the apartment. The apartment was very clean when we arrived and were presented with a bottle of local Prosecco in the fridge as well as a huge Italian traditional Easter cake. We had full use of the dishwasher and the washing machine (with detergents provided). The area is in a quiet residential street extremely close to the lake. The town is perfectly situated for a stay at the Italian lakes. It has a ferry stop, train connections to Milan & have fast roads up and down the lake. We highly recommend staying here and we look forward to stay here ourselves.

The property is very close to the Lake and there is a small beach close by. We arrived too early which was no problem at all. From the beginning, we felt very welcome. The internet was very poor, but the moment I informed Alvaro, he sorted it out through a booster. The kitchen and the property was well kitted out. I would highly recommend the property and Alvaro as host.

Great stay at Alvaro's place. I can really recommend the place. Alvaro was always very helpful. We have enjoyed it very much. Trank you Alvaro!

Pulizia. Comodità e gentilezza dell' host e dei suoi condomini. Consigliata!

È un posto meraviglioso, si respira area pulita, una bella casa, un bel panorama. La mia famiglia e io ci siamo divertiti un sacco!

Ci siamo trovati bene in casa. Andrea non era in zona nel periodo della vacanza ma ci ha accolti un suo vicino gentile e disponibile. Fantastica Introbio.

It was a little adventure to get able to find a house. As we was late Andrea was able to leave a key to her neighbor Fransicko and he met us almost at 11pm. The house itself ok for short stay. Everything what you needed you we were able to find in the house.

Ci siamo trovati molto bene per la nostra settimana bianca in Valsassina. L'appartamento é comodo e funzionale, ci siamo stati comodamente in 4, 2 adulti e 2 bambini. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Simpatico il tavolo a bar che permette di pranzare senza sgombrare il tavolo normale. Inoltre c'è da segnalare l'assistenza del gentile signor Franco. Gli impianti di risalita di Barzio sono a circa 15 min di distanza, c'è vicinissimo un supermarket (il Consorzio Agrario), e pure la bellissima cascata del Troggia.

We had a wonderful time in Introbio and the surrounding mountain area. The flat is comfortable, and charming, and equipped with all you need. Andrea was a perfect host and waited for us already at the gate. The communication went very well. A little hint to foreigners: coming from Bergamo or Milano with the car, follow from Lecco the direction signs to "Valsassina". In Introbio take the second road sign to the center. The neighors in the house were very welcoming and helpful. Also, the people in the nearby shops and restaurants impressed us with friendliness and helpfulness and couln't be deterred by our insufficient Italian. We enjoyed our week in Introbio very much and if time allows us we will be back.

This is a wonderful house. The pictures do not do it justice. The downstairs has a small but very functional kitchen, a dining area and a great fireplace. The upstairs is a fantastic bedroom with several beds the view of the mountains as the sun rises is spectacular! We didn't get to enjoy the outdoor space due to the rather but Gloria had a fire waiting in the fireplace when we arrived. Communications was very good, they made arrangements to meet as and guide us to the house. A wonderful experience!

Thanks for a great stay- the flat was lovely; clean and well-equipped with outstanding reviews. We'd return!

Ottimo soggiorno! Casa di pietra tipica valtellinese in una zona tranquilla, tra i vigneti a 5 minuti di macchina dal centro di Traona. Proprietari gentilissimi; ci hanno fornito indicazioni per arrivare facilmente e ci hanno fatto sentire come a casa. Zona ottima come base per fare passeggiate in montagna (noi siamo stati in Val di Mello, a 40 minuti di macchina). Weekend perfetto!

Bel posto e bella casa. Gloria gentilissima, ci ha anche accompagnati alla casa che le indicazioni con le mappe non erano corrette e ci ha fatto trovare il camino con il fuoco già accesso vista la giornata fredda in cui siamo arrivati. Casa ben pulita e con tutto il necessario per una buona permanenza. Bella zona per passeggiate. Ci sono anche gatti socievoli nei paraggi

Siamo stati a Traona per le cantine aperte e la casa di Gloria è in una posizione perfetta!Immersa tra i vitigni di Nebbiolo,la casa gode di una vista fantastica su tutta la valle.Siamo stati anche molto fortunati perché abbiano potuto vedere gli abitanti della zona che,come una volta,vendemmiavano a mano.Momenti speciali!Gloria è stata molto carina,gentile e premurosa,peccato solo esserci stati così poco...da tornarci!

Een heerlijke week gehad met de kinderen (10-13) ondanks wat kwakkelend weer. Heerlijk huis in een rustige wijk aan het rand van een bos. Een slimme indeling met slaapkamers die lager liggen in de grond en dus lekker koel. Lekkere lounge ruimte bovenin t huis met mooi uitzicht. Vanachter t huis beginnen allerlei wandeltochten en moutainbikeroutes. Onderaan het dorp zijn we wezen surfen. We zijn met de kinderen in de trein naar Milaan geweest. Vanuit Colico 1,5 uur langs de meren rijden en uitstappen midden in de stad... ideaal. Zwembad is fris, maar onze kinderen hebben het heerlijk gevonden met wetsuits (was begin mei..). Heerlijk terras voor t huis, met een buitenkeuken voor een fijne BQ. Valentina is zeer behulpzaam met ideeen voor in de omgeving en hulp bij allerlei praktische vragen. Echte aanrader !!!

Logement superbe, piscine agréable . . . Et idéal pour visiter la région du lac de Come . . . Bref tout était parfait ! Merci.

Valentina is a perfect host. The contact with her was very fast. We could reach her easily and she helped us with all request we needed. The house and surrounding is a beautiful place to stay. From the terrace you have a stunning view over the lake and scenery. We enjoyed our time there very much and would definitely recommend it.

Petit endroit de paradis! Jolie vue et logement vraiment super. Accueil chaleureux de Valentina.

We just spent two wonderful weeks at Villa Paradiso. We received a warm welcome by Valentina, and she was available at all times when needed. The house is very sweet and even though there are no curtains you have lots of privacy, since you are in an extremely quiet area. The house is very well equiped, the shower is wonderful, and the pool even more! The location is ideal to do nice daytrips around Lake Como.

Aaahh ... We're so sorry we had to leave this lovely place with its great lake view after one week only. Myself, my wife and our two adventurous kids enjoyed the comfortable house and its lovely and quiet surroundings right from the start tremendously. And the lovely warm weather (early april 2015) helped our 'holiday' feeling as well, of course. As for our hosts : Valentina's and Paolo's help and advise was very welcoming and charming, and it made our holidays a success and one we will remember ... As well, the lake and its region have so much (views, walks, resto's, ...) to offer, that we will have to make a repeat reservation soon to visit everything we didn't get to this time. Thanks Valentina and Paolo !

Myself and my family had a wonderful stay at Villa Paradiso two weeks ago. The villa is exactly as shown in the photos and is very clean and comfortable for the four of us (my daughter's are aged 6 and 9). Valentina was an excellent host - friendly, helpful and available when we needed her. The villa is well stocked with the basic essentials for self catering and there was a lovely basket of fruit and also water/milk waiting for us when we arrived. The location is stunning with wonderful views over lake Garda as you drive to the local town of Colico. A car is essential though as the villa is located up on the mountain side. There is plenty to do in the locality and we had a wonderful week. Our only negative experience was on our last evening when there was torrential rain during a storm and the water leaked in through the skylight window into the corridor in the basement leading to the bedrooms. It was possible to contain it, but obviously this would be an issue if it had rained more than once. When we let Valentina know she immediately took action and was in touch with her builder to rectify the issue. I have no doubt that it will not occur again. In summary, I would highly recommend Villa Paradiso to those travellers who like to get away from the busy areas and enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside with beautiful scenery. We hope to return again soon. Thank you Valentina for a wonderful stay!

Das Haus ist sehr schön, alleinstehend und sehr ruhig. Mit schönem Blick auf den See. Der Pool ist perfekt und sauber. Die Umgebung ist sehr schön, mit vielen Wander- und Ausflugsmöglichkeiten. Für die Anfahrt ist ein Auto nötig. Die Einrichtung ist perfekt, alles vorhanden inklusive Gasgrill. Die Schlafzimmer liegen im Untergeschoss, was auf den ersten Blick befremdlich erscheint, bei Sommerhitze aber absolut Sinn macht, da es dort schön kühl bleibt. Valentina ist eine sehr nette Gastgeberin! Sie schaut regelmässig nach dem Rechten. Wenn es eine Frage gibt, ist das SMS innert kürzester Zeit beantwortet. Oder sie kommt gleich vorbei, da sie in Gehdistanz wohnt. Kurzum: ein gelungener Urlaub, wir kommen jederzeit gerne wieder! Noch ein Restaurant-Tipp in der Nähe: Sci D'Oro, unbedingt ausprobieren (vorgängig reservieren)

Voldeed volkomen aan de verwachting. Prachtig uitzicht over het meer. Kompleet en mooi appartement. Verblijf met auto is aan te bevelen. Je moet wel goed ter been zijn. Voor ons was het pico bello.

Amazing apartment with stunning views looking over the lake. Great value for money. I am glad we had a car, we rented one from Malpensa airport for next to nothing and explored Lake Como at our own pace. Would highly recommend this apartment!!!

Milly's place was the first stop in our honeymoon trip and we couldn't have imagined anything better - the place is spacious, light, with an amazing view and comfortable. The terrace is a wonderful place to have a morning coffee and evening wine, the neighborhood is quite and nice, the walk to Bellano is exactly what you need after a big, delicious portion of pasta and wine in the village. The area in general is very nice, because it's not the tourism center but you have enough to do and see there anyway. We definitely recommend staying at Milly's, but for greater comfort, rent a car - that way you'll be able to see much, much more of the area.

Fantastic apartment with incredible views of Bellano! This apartment has everything you need for a relaxing holiday - if you don't have a car just be prepared for a fairly steep 10 min hike up from the town centre each day after your travels - we didn't find it a problem but less mobile/active couples might! Bellano is much less "touristy" than Varenna and Bellagio and is the perfect base for a stay on Lake Como - cannot recommend this apartment highly enough. Thank you Milly and Beppe!

It's a very nice apartment! Very clean and bright. Everything is like on the pictures, quiet and beautiful place on the hill. Milly and Beppe were very nice and friendly and met us at the train station in Bellano.

Our stay at Millys was perfect! We really loved our vacation in Bellano. The apartment was beautiful, very clean and the view on the lake is breathtaking!!!!!! Our hosts were lovely and kind. It was a great experience to stay there! We highly recommend it!

Beautiful house with a view, just wish it wasn't so high up in the mountains. Exactly as described and we received a warm welcome from milly and a bottle of wine the next day. Would stay again if in the area. If traveling without a car be prepared to walk a lot as getting a taxi is almost impossible.

The apartment is all that it is described to be and more. It’s location up in the Bellano hills affords a perfect view of the lake from every single room and incredible sunsets. The apartment is spacious, clean and completely functional and the hosts have ensured that anything one can possibly need is available. The hosts were helpful and provided excellent instructions in advance and both Milly and Beppe were there to welcome us when we arrived and even thoughtfully left us some basic groceries (pasta and sauce) to cook a meal in case we had not come prepared. The apartment is in the Ombriaco neighborhood up the hill and away from tourist spots (it's a 20 min climb up from the lakeside). Having a car might make it easier to reach the apartment in the first instance but otherwise is unnecessary and parking in the narrow and steep roads can be quite difficult. It’s much more fun to walk up and down to the lake and use the ferry and the local trains to get around and once there we did not use our car at all. This is really a place where reality exceeds expectations and you end up feeling ‘oh wow this is even better than what I thought it would be’. Bela and Siddhi

Three of us girls stayed at Chicco's place for 5 days and loved it! Communication was excellent, right through the booking process up to the day we left and he texted us several times during our stay to make sure all was well :) The photos and description of Chicco's house are accurate (except that there is now a double hide-a-bed in the living room, which was not an issue for us at all.) It is a very "homey" place with a pretty garden out front where we enjoyed our morning coffee. It was always cool inside, despite being almost 30C outside, which made for good sleeps. Also, the neighbours were lovely and friendly. All the basic amenities were provided, which makes this property a good value. We really appreciated that the kitchen was stocked with all the basics, and a few extras--coffee, oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, milk, fruit...I have stayed at many properties where there is not even salt & pepper provided, which is a real pain, not to mention the added expense, so thank-you, Chicco! Wifi was excellent--very important to us--absolutely no issues with connectivity or speed. The location in Perledo is quite a hike from Varenna. We walked down only once--although the paths are good, it's very steep and took almost 1/2 hour as it's not super well-marked--so we chose not to walk back up. Thankfully, Chicco had referred us to his Uncle Marco who operates a local taxi service and was there within minutes when we called for a lift :) Chicco booked dinner for us at Il Camminetto for our first night. It was excellent--we highly recommend it! The restaurant owner picked us up in Perledo and dropped us off after dinner as well--service above & beyond! Another dinner suggestion at the beach club restaurant was really good too. Lunch at Bar Milano, in the village of Perledo was a great surprise--only 15 euro per person for 3 courses + salad, water & wine! You eat with the locals and can enjoy an amazing view from their terrace. This is a well-kept local secret ;) We had a fantastic girls-vacation in Lake Como, and a big part of this was because of the friendliness of everyone we encountered--from Chicco, to his lovely mom Guilianna, to his Uncle Marco, to the neighbours and even the staff at the Club in Varenna where we enjoyed spending a couple of lazy days sunning, wining & dining by the pool. The people we encountered were all so warm and welcoming. Varenna is the perfect spot for a peaceful and relaxing vacation, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Thank you for everything, Chicco...we will be back! Best wishes from your Canadian girls!

This is a great choice! Chicco is a very friendly and committed host who takes time to show you everything the house and surroundings have to offer. It's a very charming house in the hills of Varenna (Perledo) with plenty of space in and outside. The view of Varenna, Menaggio and Bellagio is amazing (also at night). One of the two (!) gardens offers fruits and herbs. For our energetic young dog this place was perfect, she could run around freely (and the Varenna dog beach, the only one at Como lake, is nearby).

Chico was a gracious host. Always available on phone and visited daily to make sure we were ok and to give us fresh coffee. The house is amazing. Right in the mountains. Enough space for four. Very cosy environment. The views were breathtaking. The walk up and down to the house gave us a workout. Some may be willing to walk. Others may not. A taxi one way costs 10 euros. Chico has a connection with a local taxi driver.

Chicco's place was a great way to spend our time in Lake Como. The house was as advertised and the views were even better! I would recommend having a car or being prepared to spend decent $$ on a taxi as it is quite a ways up the hill. However, it was the perfect romantic retreat!

Trevligt hus med fantastisk utsikt. Läget är perfekt för att få lugn och ro. 5 min med bil ner till Varenna, en väg som kräver bil, väldigt stor höjdskillnad.

We had a wonderful time at Chicco's place! We spent three nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The house is spacious and the views are unbelievable. Chicco was the most gracious host we have ever had. He met us at the train station at 11pm after our flight was delayed 2 hours. He came back the next morning to show us around the house and garden and to drive us to town and checked in with us multiple times to make sure we were okay. It was perfectly clean and the bed was comfortable. The only downside was the wifi only worked the first night.

Chicco was a wonderful, transparent, easy going host. Before confirming the reservation, Chicco reached out personally to ensure that I understood that the space was a significant walk up the hill, and that most would need to take a 10-15 Euro cab ride with luggage. His transparency was certainly appreciated, and warranted. As advertised, the space has an amazing view, but getting there is a legitimate hike. Admittedly, I included the wrong dates in a message regarding train arrival times, but Chicco was patient and diligently worked to clarify the details during the arrival. He showed me around, provided a wide selection of travel brochures for nearby attractions, and best of all, stocked the kitchen with more than the basics: water, fruit, coffee, yogurt, and of course, a little wine to help enjoy the amazing terrace. Chiccos' recommendation for dinner at Quatro Pass resulted in a phenomenal meal. While I wasn't at the edge of my seat for lake fish during my pre-trip research, the Perch Risotto ended up being the best dish we consumed during out trip. It should be noted that the service equally incredible. The only downside was perhaps due to the weather, and not the space itself. Our last night involved a thunderstorm of biblical proportions (as context, the storm had two well travelled Louisiana residents checking the local weather for the freak Italian equivalent of a tropical storm). Even though we managed to close the windows and shudders before the worst hit, water still managed to make it through the bedroom window which ended up doing more damage to the room's rugs and walls in addition to minimal damage to our belongings. Chicco was responsive yet calm when I told him about the situation, but after checking into our next stay across the lake, it was clear that this was no ordinary event. We would recommend this location to the able bodied or those willing to pay the 10-15 Euro for taxi fare each way. The views will reward you for your effort.

Chicco hat uns einen sehr netten Empfang bereitet und uns das Haus gezeigt. Die Lage ist wunderschön am Rande eines kleinen Ortes im GRünen, sehr ruhig und die Sicht auf den See spektakulär. Das Highlight der Wohnung ist die schöne Terasse, auf der man bei schönem Wetter den ganzen Tag verbringen kann. Das Haus ist sehr sauber, die Küche gut ausgestattet. Es gibt auch einen kleinen Kräutergarten aus dem man sich mit frischen Küchenkräutern versorgen kann. Insgesamt hatten wir einen sehr erholsamen und schönen Urlaub in diesem Haus und empfehlen es gerne weiter.
