Beautiful view and good location! Super nice host, clean room, comfortable bed and really relaxing holiday atmosphere house. Lovely breakfast on the terrace!

Marie and her husband made us feel like home! The views are just stunning, especially sitting on the porch each morning, getting a well served breakfast, that you could see Marie took time and great effort to make for us. Marie was also really helpful with recommendations or questions for the Lake Como area. Our 3 nights at Villa Monte Bianco, was without doubt some of the best on our 14 day Roadtrip through Europe.

Nothing!!! Highly recommend to everyone

We had an absolutely fantastic time at this beautiful place. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with exceptional warmth and hospitality. Marie is a truly amazing host: she went above and beyond to make us feel completely at home. Everything we asked for, she did with genuine care and kindness (and a big smile!!). It felt like we were part of her family: a rare and heartfelt sense of connection that made our stay so special. The location was INCREDIBLE! From her home, we had quick access to several stunning hikes, and within just 15 minutes we were enjoying meals at amazing local restaurants. The facilities at the accommodation were also perfect: clean, well-equipped, and thoughtfully arranged down to the smallest detail. (Especially the beautiful place for breakfast and swimming pool we loved!) In short, this is a place we would return to without hesitation. A stay where the warmth of the people is just as impressive as the beauty of the surroundings. Thank you, Marie — you’re truly one of a kind! ❤️

The walk to & from the villa is a steep 20 min walk & during the heat can be quite a challenge, especially getting up when it's 30+ degrees in heat. But we are quite fit & enjoy walking so managed the walk often twice a day but I would imagine for some people it would be a challenge. Having said that, Marie kindly transported us to & from the villa with our luggage when we arrived & and left, which was a great help.

We had an amazing stay at the Villa Monte Bianco. Marie, the host, was so friendly & hospitable. She honestly could not have been more accommodating & this really made us feel comfortable & relaxed during our stay. The room itself was very clean, well equipped & the bed was comfortable. Despite there not being air conditioning. You really didn't need it as the rooms are naturally cool & the fan was adequate to keep you cool enough at night. The views from the balcony outside the room are stunning & having breakfast in the morning with the view was a nice experience. The villa is in close proximity to the lake. About a 20-minute walk & there are restaurants & a supermarket close by for convenience. The villa itself is beautifully situated & and it's certainly quiet, peaceful & tranquil. In fact, the whole of Mandello del lario felt like that most of the time as it was away from all the hustle & bustle of the main tourist areas but easy to access by train or bus if you want to take a day trip which we did. It takes 20 mins to travel to Varenna or Lecco by bus or train & booking transport is easy using the trainline app.

Absolutely nothing. Everything was wonderful.

Maria and her husband were exceptional hosts and could not do enough for you. Every aspect of our room was perfect, and the bathroom was stunning. The location was perfect, with stunning views of Lake Como.We can not recommend the hosts and Monte Bianco highly enough.

Leaving.

As we were traveling by train, thankfully Marie picked us up at the station as it is a long walk uphill to Villa Monte Blanco. The breakfast, with a few options was served on the patio with a view of the lake. A great way to start the day. Marie, the hostess, was always available to assist with all our questions and gave us excellent directions to do the waterfall hike. (Including recommending La Perla Restaurant for a beer and lunch on the way down.) She also suggested a day out on the ferry to Bellagio, where we had lunch, then a ferry to Vareena and a train back to Mandello del Lario. A really great day out. I am so glad that we found Villa Mont Bianco and booked it for our stay in Mondello del Lario.

The owner and hostess was so friendly and helpful and always made sure we had the best stay. A bit of a hike up hill from the train station, but transport (of luggage) was offered for free. Nice and quiet rooms and excellent breakfast served outside with lake view.

We loved the property location, no negative comments from our side

The property was in a good location, clean and very cozy. Not far from the good restaurants and a good walking distance to the city.

One of the curtains was recently damaged, so we could only have complete privacy by closing the shutters. This will certainly be fixed in the future.

We had a wonderful stay at Marie's Villa Monte Bianco. It is not easy to choose where to stay by the large Lake Como. This villa has the perfect location above the charming village of Mandello del Lario. It is the perfect base for visiting Varenna, Lecco, Bellagio, or even taking the train to Milan. From a path behind the villa, you can also immediately start hiking in the mountains, along rivers, or all the way to waterfalls. The villa itself is fully equipped, with charming room with a bathroom, excellent beds, a small fridge, and the necessary amenities such as a hairdryer, kettle, coffee maker, and cutlery. There is no TV, but we did not miss it. Breakfast is served on the balcony. Marie coordinates the breakfast content and the desired time with you. The hostess was very friendly and thoughtfully suggested activities. Despite the less favorable weather, we had a wonderful holiday at Villa Monte Bianco.

It is a bit of a hike up the hill but after a big dinner you appreciate the walk anyway.

Marie was the most amazing host! She totally made our stay. She was so kind and helpful. The view from the property was amazing!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house has a wonderful view of the mountains and Lake Como, which we could enjoy from the porch while having breakfast. The breakfast was delicious and fresh, and we always felt satisfied. The room is very clean, with a modern and spacious bathroom. We received a very warm welcome. Marie, the host, was very hospitable and always ready to help us. Thank you, Marie, for making our stay more enjoyable! I definitely recommend it!

Nothing it was amazing

This is the best place we have ever stayed. The location was great, with an amazing view, a lovely pool to swim in and extremely peaceful! We stayed for 4 nights and it just wasn’t enough time. There is so much to do here. The host Marie was just exceptional, so friendly, lovely and extremely helpful! She provided us with so many great recommendations, ones being the hike to the waterfall which we would never have known was there. She really made our time amazing! I couldn’t recommend this place enough!!!

Villa Monte Bianco is the most relaxing and rejuvenating holiday spot in Italy. I felt instantly taken care of by our host Marie, who was able to look after us for the duration of our stay. The room is not only gorgeous, but the Mandello area is a must see! Can’t wait to visit again sometime soon

Absolutely nothing we didn't like!

There are hosts and there are hosts... Marie is an absolute ANGEL! From start to finish. Accommodating our late arrival, amazing breakfast, fabulous recommendations, great warm chat and friendliness, and even preparing us a breakfast to take on the morning of our early flight back home!! We cannot recommend Marie and her place enough! Excellent location away from the bustling Bellagio, Lecco, Vasana and Como yet perfectly situated for all. We'll definitely be back!

Location: the elevation of the property from via Statale was very steep and made it not possible to come and go from the property by foot during the day. Facilities: there was no TV and no air conditioning. There were no fly wire screens which made it problematic to open windows for fresh air. The pool was at the front of the property, overlooked by the family home, namely the family external covered dining room and bedroom and use of pool would be shared with family members. The guest rooms are at the rear of the family home. Therefore, there are no views of the lake from the guest rooms. There are beautiful views of the mountains from outside the guest rooms, where a table and chairs are placed for meals. Bedroom size: The bedroom was small which felt cramped as blinds needed to be kept closed for privacy. The small size made it difficult to move around the room. Privacy: privacy was limited by the absence of a blind attached to the glass external door. As a result, from the bed, I saw a family member and other guests walking past our bedroom.

The breakfast was generous and very nice. The bathroom was renovated and modern. The bed was very comfortable and the location was quiet and tranquil.
