Location. If you want to sample the night life of Como, then you need transport (car, taxi etc), walking is not recommended (long winding, narrow, dark roads between location and town). Accommodation is clean but quite basic. Wifi ‘sketchy’.

Pleasant staff, quaint property full of character, lovely gardens, distant views of Lake Como. Communal breakfast perfect for meeting other travellers, simple but fresh and filling.

Only 2 people around being the lady that does the reception and takes you to your room and prepares the breakfast and the lovely cleaner every day. Somewhat lack of staff around in the evening so you were left to your own devices. Although stated they would be there till ten in the evening we were having to be the welcome party to the guest who arrived early in the evening. Instructions were left for people arriving but! Was told off by the owners who didn’t introduce themselves to us as we couldn’t find the bottle opener so I went into the kitchen as I had done to lion for one again as I had previously! There was a couple with some dogs who were eating in the kitchen not in the eating area for guests who we had said hello to earlier but I was told this was a private area and what was I doing in there!! I said I was sorry but I didn’t know you were the owners as they should have introduced themselves as the owners. I was a bit annoyed being spoken to like that! Overall a lovely stay as we were there all week but please let people know and have things on hand and not to let us creep around!! We are not to know!

Lovely villa, although in the town it’s a very winding road to get there but that is described but well worth it for the view!

The bed was soooo hard! I don't think I would have been able to sleep on it for more than one night. Was a little dissapointed. Also the breakfast was a little lacking. The coffee wasn't great, sort of seemed like insta coffee. but the garden to eat your breakfast in is so cute and cozy.

the character of the Villa is unmatched. So cozy and our room was beautiful decorated with charm. We had a deluxe room which was very large with its on bathroom which was fantastic. It was so nice to have our own parking spot and the house cat was super cute :)

A quirky B&B style hotel with its heart back in the days before mass tourism hit Como. The villa is set high on a steep hillside overlooking Como. Accessed by a narrow road with twisty hairpin bends. Fun to drive and easier after you’ve done it a few times. The villa is run by a lovely couple who are renovating it bit by bit. The parts we saw were very authentic in style. We opted for a room with a separate ( private) shower room which was just across the corridor from our room. The view from our bedroom was spectacular…..down the hillside to Como and right out across the lake to the hills. Perfect to gaze out at ( especially as the room had no TV. Who needs a TV anyway, with the whole of Lake Como to take in) There is WiFi but we didn’t use it. When we closed the window and wooden shutters it cut out any noise from the road outside, and it didn’t bother us much with the window open. Breakfast was served around a big dinning table and enough choice for most people including a huge basket of fresh croissants. There’s safe, free on site parking, and although we couldn’t sit outside ( due to torrential rain) there is outdoor seating again with amazing views. Guilua and Guido thanks for being so welcoming.

No breakfast taken room only

Property needs some TLC...has potential to be exceptional (great flowers and space). Rooms were pretty hot with limited ventilation (though our host kindly tried to help). Can't escape highway noise (maybe a water fountain could mask it some?)

Friendly host was great. Incredibly wonderful view! Very nice property.

With this concept everything was fine.

Its not what I expexted, but we liked it more an more for every hour. It’s not a copy hotel. The view over the city, the garden and the athomosphere was fantastic.

You need a car!! A 15 minute drive to the city. Difficult to find car parking in Como. There are no longer any walkways or steps down to Como since the freeway cut off access. Freeway noise prevented you from opening the window. A fridge in common dining area would be good for self catering options.

Views! Easy, free parking on premises. Charm and character of the building. Guido was very friendly, easy going and helpful.

Traffic noise, private separate shower room was used by other guests. With a poor phone signal access to Google maps was intermittent so it took us a long time to find.

Wonderful view, rustic and historic home with character. The host was charming.

Would have liked kettle in the room. However It is available downstairs.

Lovely old Italian homestead overlooking the lake

The building is beautiful and the view is gorgeous

Too close to the road

The owner was very friendly and helpful and the villa is old, full of character as you would expect :-) .

The place is located on a hillside with a direct view of the Lake, despite being an old property, it maintains the spirit of an old Italian villa. Guido is an excellent host, he took care of everything and make us feel comfortable..

Highway is very close and very loud, check-in between 18 - 20:30 is very late

Beautiful place, huge garden and veranda

Breakfast was disappointing. Juice, water, pastries were not kept topped up.

Interesting property with very helpful host.

Check in time window was limited. Far from centre of Como. It didn't bother us, but there's noise from the highway nearby. Breakfast ok.

We liked the view, helpful host, outdatet but clean rooms. Good hard beds.

Stayed in July 2023

The location was inconvenient and not accessible by public transportation. I also think that the check in time is late at 1800. This makes it difficult to plan your stay if you are switching hotels.

The villa was gorgeous and made me feel like I was traveling back in time.

There was no refrigerators in the room, also some rooms had proper portable air conditioning devices while some had only fans. Really difficult to access, some info about buses or taxi would have been helpful before stay.

Owner was super friendly! Room spacious with gorgeous rooms, also outside terrace and dining area really comfortable.

The breakfast was basic but not dissimilar to others we have experienced in Italy.

The house was very old and had a rustic charm but was absolutely spotless.

The wifi signal is only available in the ground floor. Yes, it's a place to disconnect and not work but you should be able to make a whatsapp call in your room. Not as a negative point, indeed the location was perfect for us but you definitely need a car to reach in and out.

This place takes to you back in time. Located in a wonderful garden with a beautiful view, you feel like time has frozen when you step inside. The villa has kept its original spirit with the nice decoration and furniture without giving away from cleanliness. Definitely an experience for people who do not look for chain hotels without spirit. We stayed in a room with private bathroom, I would not prefer to share this with other people. As I understood not every room was like this. For us everything went fine.

breakfast was terrible. No on room coffee facility and only a kettle in a closed of dining room. cat on the dining table
