One thing to keep in mind is that the road to the property by car is quite winding and a bit of an adventure. If you enjoy driving, it’s no problem at all – and the route is absolutely worth it, as the Bed and Breakfast is located in a completely peaceful and quiet area. Also, make sure to check if the cable car is running. It takes you down to the town in just a few minutes, and you can leave your car parked up top. It’s a great and easy option, especially if you want to avoid the drive down.

This was truly one of the most amazing stays we have ever had. The breakfast is absolutely phenomenal, fresh, locally, and beautifully prepared every morning. The house and rooms are wonderfully designed by Giovanni, with so much care and a unique artistic touch that makes the whole place feel truly special. The view is simply breathtaking, probably the most beautiful we have ever seen. Nicoletta and Giovanni are the kindest and most thoughtful hosts. Nicoletta does everything to make your stay perfect. She helps with restaurant reservations, gives great tips for places to visit, prepares amazing Aperitivo if you wish, and even puts together snack packages for your day trips. Giovanni has created a magical place with the Kerami, where you can fully relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. We left feeling completely recharged and full of unforgettable memories. Thank you so much, we truly hope to come back soon!

Such a beautiful place, and the view, even though it was a bit cloudy some of the days, was absolutely amazing. The host was the sweetest people and the breakfast was amazing, they were so caring about you. We loved to stay there. Only thing was that the cable wasn’t opened yet, and therefore we had to take the narrow roads, but Giovanni was so kind to offer to drive us down to the city. Will definitely come back!

Cable car from Pigra to Argegno only runs on weekends out of season - will need a car when it doesn't run. (This may change in 2025.)

B&B category does not do this place justice. More like a 5* Boutique Cabin Hotel and Spa in a quiet quaint mountain village location with Como Lake views to die for right from your bedroom. The rooms and building are a showcase of high end design with exquisite attention to detail in everything from art to decor to taps and door handles. The husband and wife team go way above and beyond to make your stay comfortable with heaps of local knowledge. The breakfast spread is a thing to behold in itself... tasty local seasonal produce made with love. You will leave this place refreshed and spiritually renewed. Como town is about a 30 minute drive with smaller towns like Argegno, Intelvi, and Lenno closer. Great hiking and biking options right on your doorstep.

We liked everything. Only advice to anyone driving there...take a small car and a lot of nerves and patience while driving through the narrow snake like roads. Otherwise it is all worth it once you get to the B&B.

With the view the B&B offers..what's there not to like?? Giovanni and his wife are simply incredible hosts. From the amazing breakfast to the appetite they offer after a long journey there. You will feel taken care of throughout your stay there. Highly highly recommended.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at BB Larium, and it was an absolutely perfect experience from start to finish. The hospitality was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of welcome. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The food at BB Larium was outstanding. Each meal was carefully prepared with fresh ingredients, showcasing the best of local cuisine. Breakfasts were a highlight, with a variety of delicious options that catered to every taste. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into every dish. The views from the property were breathtaking. Whether we were enjoying a meal on the terrace or relaxing in the (hot)tub, the picturesque scenery provided the perfect backdrop for a peaceful getaway. The natural beauty of the surroundings added an extra layer of tranquility to our stay. Overall, BB Larium exceeded all our expectations. The combination of outstanding hospitality, delicious food, and stunning views made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfect escape.

The Best Place in Como! Highly recommended! Beautiful view, warm and welcoming owners. Home cuisine, calm place, heights of mountains, fresh air!

Stayed in May 2024

It’s a very small B&B (which we loved) so not a place to stay anonymous or have tons of privacy. No problem for us but some people might care

We loved the view, the breakfast, the service, the hot tub and the village more generally. Would love to come again.

I loved my stay here. The hosts were very hospitable, made me feel like at home. The breakfast was amazing. Also the sauna and other amenities. The view from the room is breathtaking. A must-do when in the area.

Stayed in July 2023

Everything! The view was breathtaking, the people were really nice and the breakfast was delicious. The room was super clean and it smelled nice as well. We felt very welcomed. The owners gave some really good suggestions on what to do and where to go. They even booked some reservations on behalf of us (because of the language barrier). Overall it was a pleasant experience, 10/10.

Prepare for an adventurous drive on narrow streets to reach the b+b.

Exceptional experience. The hosts are amazing and welcoming people, the place itself features an astonishing architecture. Breakfast was truely speaking the best I ever had in a b+b. Everything was clean and new. We were looking for a place to relax and unwind and 100% found what we were looking for!

Unfortunately, the bad does outweigh the good for our experience. When I booked this B&B, I did not do enough research to see where Pigra was located which was entirely my fault. You 100% need a rental car to enjoy this property and reach it. It is a decent drive up the hill and there really isn't a good town with many food options nearby. The streets are insanely small to get up and down and on some occasions they can be very dangerous (especially on the days that the clouds are low). Each day we had to drive to and from the B&B for lunch, dinner, etc. There is an airtram now that delivers you to the closest decent town, however the hours aren't sufficient for its use case (Only available Fri-Sun 10AM-6PM). We also did not know that the owners and hosts would also be living at the resident which eliminated some privacy we are used to. At times we felt like a guest in someone's house, especially when we would get knocks at our doors at random times. My husband started feeling bad the second day we were there and we decided to buy some items for dinner to bring back and eat. I did store a few items in the shared community fridge downstairs, but when Nicoletta noticed me removing them, she seemed rather irritated and started saying something about how this is a B&B and not an apartment. Maybe I misunderstood, but it seemed like I was in the wrong for wanting to eat dinner in that evening. At times, I felt like we didn't have as much freedom as we should have had. The last item that made the stay not as enjoyable was the smell in the room of our bedding. When we arrived it had a very strong perfume smell (which was lovely, but could be overbearing for anyone with allergies) and then a bad odor like wet dog. I awoke constantly the first night to new smells of it. I asked Nicoletta if dogs were allowed at the B&B and if any had slept on the bed and if we could get our sheets changed.

The views and the aesthetics were amazing and unreal! It was great to have a gorgeous view to wake up to each day, though some days the clouds were so low that we couldn't even see the lake! The breakfast was superb and enjoyable each day and the hosts were more than accommodating on items to eat and drinks - always making sure we were full! The sauna was so nice after a long day of travel and probably one of the highlights of the property! Nicoletta and Giovanni also prepared a lovely apertif for us one evening and it was by far one of the best I have had. Nicoletta also helped me prepare other food for ourselves.

Location was appalling, but otherwise you would not get the view, so tough titty. The road up to the b&b was not described accurately in their description. It was dangerous at best.

The view

Stayed in August 2023

Was cold in rooms and the hosts were lowering down the heat levels even though we mentioned our preference of 22 C. The hosts sometimes were a bit too pushy with their ways of doing things and keeping the rooms we rented. Didn't really have much privacy and quietness as we wanted, felt some pressure from the hosts of constantly knocking on the door and explaining how things should be done. Received a lot of impractical advises just for the sake of advises and for showing the politeness. While we were taking sauna the host came to us three times to ask if we were already finished. Quite disturbing. We moved some design purposed things around inside our the rented room (e.g. opened books on the window sill thay were taking too much space) and asked not to clean the room since we wanted to have rest, however Immediately after we went out the cleaner entered the room and changed everything back, even moving our personal belongings. In general, it felt like the hosts were trying to be too helpful and polite and cautious but sometimes it just gives an opposite impression.

Nice location with amazing view on Lake Como out of the window. Very clean, good design. Comfortable. Has a good sauna. We never managed to try the outside bath, since it was rainy all day long. Also they have a fire place. The hosts tried to be polite and helpful.

The property itself is a dream. Nothing not to like about it. The only thing that was a bit scary was the drive up the mountain (at least for us who come from Florida, USA, the flattest place on earth haha). But it’s so worth it once you get to the top!

This is one of the most beautiful properties I have ever stayed at, and I travel quite a bit. The house is beautiful and the views are stunning. Even though we caught a bit of a cloudy lake como while here, it was still one of the most beautiful views. The rooms are fantastic, so modern and comfortable , and smell delicious!
