[*LAKE VIEW*] Cosy apartment near the lake
The aparment is exactly as described and as all the other reviews have said. Lovely space, great location. It does get quite noisey over the weekend though, with the sounds and music from all the restaurants and bars down at the lake drifting up. One night the very loud music went on until just after midnight. A small unpleasantness - but still, to be aware of.

Gondola Apartment - "Residence La Darsena"
I honestly don’t think I could recommend this place more if I could. From the amazing communication with Emi, the extremely clean and well looked after property to the VIEWS… it was just perfect! I cannot express how incredible the views are from this property, we kept saying it just doesn’t look real, this is certainly the place to go! Emi was also so helpful and lovely, she was able to get all our reservations even though I left it so last minute, she was also at hand when we needed help or guidance, she just made the whole experience so smooth it really made our experience that much better. I thank you so much for a trip of a lifetime!

"Vista Arbostora"
Thanks so much to Romy for her wonderful hospitality. Your place was clean, cozy, and truly felt like a home away from home. We’ve enjoyed every moment of our stay.

Casa Cordelia - A Jewel on Lake Como
Such a cute place to stay! The town is adorable and in a great location. The hosts were very responsive and helpful at all times! Highly recommend this place!

A balcony in Bellagio - lake view
Excellent location. Stunning views of lake como and the alps from the balcony

Lake Front Apartment - Lenno
Benedetta was a wonderful host, and very helpful providing clear instructions and helpful suggestions. We loved the location of her beautiful and well-equipped apartment, close to restaurants and the waterfront walkway as well as on the edge of the famous Villa Balbianello! There was a lovely serenity in the space after the bustle of busier towns around Como, and we appreciated the opportunity to let in the fresh air and relax in the lovely space!

Romantic lake and mountain views in the heart of Lugano
Excellent location, extremely responsive host, and very generous amenities stand out. Luisa consistently checked in with us and offered support for anything we needed. We had some difficultly finding the apartment since there is new building renovations next door, so the building didn't look open. Luisa updated the entrance picture so that it shouldn't be a problem for upcoming guests. This is one example of Luisa's responsiveness to her guests. The shower is small and may be an issue for larger people. We didn't have a problem with it. Many amenities (coffee, chilled water, shampoo, hand soap, toilet paper) were provided which was greatly appreciated. Overall, it is a comfortable apartment with friendly hosts in a perfect location.

Great Lake View Artist's Apartment
After a long day of traveling Judith met us at the apartment. She was absolutely one of the most welcoming hosts I have ever met. She gave us the full tour of the apartment and showed us how to use everything. She had a beautiful plate of strawberries and cookies waiting for us. The apartment is beautifully decorated and well appointed for anything you could possibly want or need. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in while away from home. Judith had 4 different ways to make coffee including a little espresso machine. She made us dinner reservations and sent recommendations on where to go and what to see. We all loved her! The sunsets from the balcony were stunning. The little town of Ispra was so lovely to walk around and peacefully after days spent exploring crowded areas. Ispra feels like “real” Italy.

Lake Como Roof Top of Comacina Island
Monica’s place was outstanding The pictures did not do justice to the views Wow! Monica was very good communicating with us right from the start Check in was very straightforward and she even left us a bottle of Prosecco and water Monica is very thoughtful and her place was spotless and well furnished She responded very promptly to all our questions and offered great recommendations for transport , shops and restaurants Overall our stay was beyond our expectations and we are definitely coming back next year Hopefully by which time the C10 bus may be regular 😂 and on time !

Casa Gioia in a private nature park
Enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of this place for four days. Everything spotless - and with all amenities. House sits in a private park with a couple of other houses. True paradise - we would love to come again. You can walk down to the lago - though ended up taking the car most of the time to get to restaurants. A couple of very nice ones in the area - Riva/Shaka (beach club vibe), Osteria Vairano (magnificent view), Rodolfo (excellent local cuisine)

Le Allegre Comari di Ossuccio, home plus wellness
We had a wonderful week at Carmen's house. The location in Spurano/Ossuccio was perfect because it was quiet yet within easy walking distance of local bars and restaurants. The Greenway provides good walks around the area, including accees to the chapels of the Sacri Monte. The sports bar in Ossuccio was great value for money and we also ate at the lido in Sala Comacina. From there you can also get the boat to the Isola (very peaceful - we had the whole island to ourselves) and you can find Amalia Ostinelli's grocery store for all your essentials. The kitchen diner is superbly equipped and stays cool even on the hotest days. The bed is really comfortable and the whole house is beautifully presented... old and quirky but with all the modern comforts you would expect. On top of that you're literally a few steps from Lake Como. We loved the spa, especially the jacuzzi. All in all we loved it. We were sad to leave and could have happily stayed another week. We hope to return one day.

Villa Damia, directly on the lake
We had such a great time visiting here. It was a bit of a walk to the house but very doable. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Riccardo was extremely responsive during our visit too. Menaggio was the perfect area to stay at Lake Como. All of the charm and half of the crowds. We Hope to come back again someday.

WATER FRONT. Romantic, with private garden.
Perfect airbnb for your stay on lake Lugano!

Rustico in a fairytale mountain village
This was the most unusual lodging I've ever been in on a road trip The house had everything I needed and more. My favorite spot is the upper terrace. I was lucky enough to spend a few evenings there, processing all the content for the day to the sound of birdsong. It's not easy to get here, but it's worth it. When you open the door of this house, it's like stepping into a fairy tale. Unforgettable experience, thank you!

Casa Juno on the Lake
This home is absolutely stunning! Daniel warmly welcomed us on the first day and gave us a tour, making us feel right at home. The location is fantastic—perfectly situated between Bellagio and Como with breathtaking lake views. The bedrooms were incredibly spacious, and the open-concept kitchen allowed us to cook while enjoying the scenery. One recommendation: rent a small vehicle, as the roads are quite narrow and can be challenging if you're not used to them. Overall, a fantastic experience—we’ll definitely be coming back!

Idyllic over Verzascadelta
The listing matches the listing. Very well located and easy to access. Ideal for 2 adults and 1 child. In addition, nearby there are restaurants, bakeries and shops within walking distance.

Villa SamarCasa, the perfect place for your getaway
What an extraordinary place- it fully exceeded our expectations. Fresh flowers and beautiful gardens really made us feel like we were in the lap of luxury. Such a beautiful and comfortable home! We will be back!

Casa Bellavista Gandria
Amazing stay at this apartment/house by the lake. Complete with all kitchen necessities. Heater and AC available. We had one sunny day but managed to have a nice stand up paddle by the lake connected to the house. The view is just incredible and the host is helpful enough to accommodate our needs. Very close to the city center and Italian border. I highly recommend and will consider to come back again!

Villa Bertoni - Stunning view on Lake Como
Amazing to stay in such a grand building right by lake

Casa Luisa Apartment
Beautiful apartment in a central location with lake view We had a great time in this wonderfully located apartment. The accommodation is very centrally located – everything is easily accessible – and the two balconies overlooking the lake are a real highlight. Although a road runs very close, the noise level was surprisingly low and hardly disturbed our stay. The apartment is well equipped, we didn't lack anything. Everything was very clean and well maintained, you can immediately tell that a lot of love for detail is put into the work here. A big plus was also the warm host. We were lucky enough to meet her in person, which made the stay even more personal and enjoyable. We were also particularly pleased that dogs are allowed – a clear bonus for us as dog owners! We would come back anytime and can fully recommend the place.

Lakefront Apartment in Verbania 1
Unfortunately, I can only give 5 stars, which I did. Actually, I think we should give it more stars. The communication before our trip was already flawless and we received answers to questions and even information about the local conditions in a timely and quick manner without being asked. Check-in and check-out went smoothly. We didn't miss anything in the apartment. You can book there and unpack your suitcase and enjoy your vacation. Really!!!!! Andrea, keep it up. You can tell by the love in the detail that you live and breathe renting and not just to make money.

Masia Holiday Apartment Como Lake 013075-CNI-00297
Great place to stay for our visit to Como. Really appreciated how clean and comfortable the place was. Would stay here again

Maison Mela Caslano-100m from the lake- be happy
We felt very comfortable in Pamela's beautiful apartment. Very loving, thoughtful furnishings, everything you need, very personal and lovingly designed. Absolutely perfect for us as a family with 3 children!! Caslano is a pretty place, we still had the street food festival. Pamela's tips for the grotto and take-away pizza were awesome!!!

Dolce Vita House
We stayed at the property for four days and enjoyed the time very much. The accommodation is lovingly decorated and there is everything you need. It's also worth walking to the village and strolling through the small alleys. Down on the main road there is a small delicatessen, which appealed to us very much. Within 10 minutes you are in Stresa and in 20 minutes in Arona, where you can shop well. We will be happy to come back!
