Waterfront vacation rentals in Lake Lugano

Abbiamo soggiornato io e mia moglie nell’appartamento di Nertilia corrispondeva a quanto elencato sul sito. Appartamento molto pulito e curato nei minimi particolari. Host disponibili e ci ha dato indicazioni e consigli sul lago di Como. Ci siamo trovati benissimo lo consigliamo.

Absolutely wonderful stay and amazing host. The apartment was exactly as described and the views and location were perfect. We loved sitting on the balcony, looking over the water and watching and hearing the people below. There are 2 wine bars just outside the door and also many restaurants. Alberto picked us up at the station and explained the apartment and area. Giorgio’s kindness was immeasurable. The trains had unexpectedly stopped running and he personally booked our transportation back to Milan and drove us to meet a new express bus. We could have never done this without him, as this was unpublished at the time. What a wonderful man! Varenna is a beautiful small village and there are many outstanding restaurants and things to do. Our highlight was taking a cooking class with Chef Marco, Chef’s Table, and later dining at his new restaurant, La Scarpetta. We recommend visiting the villas in town, taking the Taxi Boat to Villa Balbianello and hiking to the waterfall in Fiumelatte.

Wonderful stay and the view is amazing. The hosts are proactive and went extra mile to ensure not only my stay at their place but also the visit to Varenna is comfortable. They even went out of way to inform me that the trains are not working on the day of my vacating and in case I plan to leave Varenna, they suggested alternate modes and booking details. Very responsive, and kind to respond to me even at 11 pm in the night. The place is clean and cute with all you may need for a great stay. The bed is comfortable. The cute note they shared while vacating, and a beautiful handwritten“thank you “ note sealed the deal for me ❤️

Excellent location. Stunning views of lake como and the alps from the balcony

Serena was extremely helpful - booking us taxis for our departure and giving us recommendations for the local area. The place was perfect for 2 couples and just outside of Varenna. You can train to Varenna from Fiumalatte station in about 5 mins. The way down from Fiumalatte station to the Airbnb spot is tough with luggage and hard to find, though.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful location. At the water, short walk to the ferry, right next to restaurants and gorgeous balcony. Andrea was very informative and so helpful and accommodating. All of the instructions and advice were much appreciated. He was available to answer our, many, questions. Thank you!

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.

Ettore's place was perfect for my wife and me! It matched the description well and was very clean. It is perfectly located right by the Varenna square and a short walk down to the water. Ettore picked us up off of the train and helped us get settled. Upon check-out we walked to the train station which is about 10-minutes away. The best part of the apartment is its location. Out the front door there is an excellent restaurant (Il Cavitappi) and wine shop (In Vinis Veritas). Albergo del Sole is a couple of (short) blocks away and is perfect for pizza. Gelato and breakfast stops are also very close. We rented a boat for the day and the dock is also very close to the apartment.

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 !

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.

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.

Michele’s Airbnb is truly exceptional! The photos are beautiful, but the apartment is even more stunning in person. We loved the peaceful setting away from the crowds—it was the perfect place to relax and take in the breathtaking views. The apartment was fully equipped with everything we needed and was especially well-suited for my dad, who uses a wheelchair. We felt so comfortable and at home. I’ll definitely stay here again the next time I’m in Como. It was hard to say goodbye!

The historical castle was simply an amazing place to stay, no complaints, the location is stunning and the neighbourhood peaceful and welcoming. I loved the beach next to the castle. It was very easy to communicate with Maurizio.

Es war wunderschön. Die Unterkunft bietet alles was das Herz begehrt. Bobby war ein super Gastgeber!

Paola met us for check in and was extremely helpful from the moment we booked the trip even after checkout when our plane ride to Milan cancelled last minute she helped us find new transportation. The space is beautiful and close to everything!

This is an amazing property located water front with a charming walking path surrounding the lake. The views are magnificent. There are a couple of nice eateries nearby and jumping on the ferry is fairly easy..via uber or taxi. We hit a couple of rainy days but didn’t mind tucking in and relaxing with a good book while engulfed in breathtaking surrounds. The residence is squeaky clean, very well equipped and comfortable for a small group. Deborah was very responsive. We highly recommend this property.

Ottima casa, ottima vista. Appartamento completo di tutto davvero, come essere in albergo, ci siamo trovati molto bene e sicuramente torneremo!

Site exceptionnel avec vue sur le Lac, très bel appartement avec une immense terrasse. Hôte particulièrement accueillant. Magnifique séjour.

Great studio, very clean and as described, a very well thought out space. Hosts have really thought of everything you might need. Great communication. Would recommend you consider the stairs and ceiling height if you are tall.

Wunderschöne Wohnung in zentraler Lage mit Seeblick Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in dieser wunderbar gelegenen Wohnung. Die Unterkunft befindet sich sehr zentral – alles ist gut erreichbar – und die beiden Balkone mit Blick auf den See sind ein echtes Highlight. Zwar verläuft eine Straße in unmittelbarer Nähe, doch der Geräuschpegel war überraschend niedrig und hat unseren Aufenthalt kaum gestört. Die Wohnung ist top ausgestattet, es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Alles war sehr sauber und gepflegt, man merkt sofort, dass hier mit viel Liebe zum Detail gearbeitet wird. Ein großes Plus war auch die herzliche Gastgeberin. Wir hatten das Glück, sie persönlich kennenzulernen, was den Aufenthalt noch persönlicher und angenehmer gemacht hat. Besonders gefreut hat uns auch, dass Hunde erlaubt sind – für uns als Hundebesitzer ein klarer Bonus! Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Just brilliant! One of the best places we stayed in across our 3 mths in Europe!! For Lake Como it was absolutely perfect! Very highly recommended indeed!!

Der Aufenthalt bei Nadine und Raymond war sehr schön. Das Airbnb verfügt über alle nötigen Dinge, ist super gelegen und bei kleinen Fragen haben Nadine und Raymond immer schnell reagiert. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Die Unterkunft ist sehr gut gelegen und liebvoll eingerichtet. Ideal für Familien mit Kindern! Die Kommunikation war einfach und unkompliziert. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Wir waren vier Tage in der Unterkunft und haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Die Unterkunft ist liebevoll eingerichtet und es gibt alles, was man braucht. Es lohnt sich auch, einmal zu Fuß in den Ort zu laufen und durch die kleinen Gässchen zu schlendern. Unten an der Hauptstraße gibt es einen kleinen Feinkostladen, der es uns sehr angetan hat. Innerhalb von 10 Minuten ist man in Stresa und in 20 Minuten in Arona, wo man gut shoppen kann. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
