This property is outstanding. We wanted to stay closer to switzerland (where we were headed after Lake Como) and wanted to be out of the thick of the crowds. This ended up being perfect. The house is composed of an upstairs apartment and a main floor apartment. We rented both. In-laws were upstairs and our family with baby was downstairs. The house is so well built that we heard nothing from either apartment. The house is a very leisurely 30 minute walk from the town of Colico which has a lively lakefront, much more authentic than we found in Bellagio and Tremezzo. It is also a 2 minute walk to the lake where there is a beach, a food kiosk, etc. We took our coffee down there every day. Each day we arranged an activity. The first day we did a two hour boat tour from Colico to Bellagio and back. Perfect way to get oriented to the lake. The second day we did a bike tour. We biked with a guide to an agri-tourism farm for a fabulous lunch. The third day we drove to Villa Carlotta and took the ferry across to Bellagio. We were so glad we stayed in Colico. Davide, the owner, was so easy to work with and he has a fabulous restaurant that is on the same property. We had dinner there one night, really outstanding food, and brunch on Sunday which was delicious. This is the perfect arrangement for people who want a less touristy, more authentic Lake Como experience without the crowds, but still close enough to see waht the fuss is all about!

Pros: Friendly host Only 200 meter to arrive at the lake Nice whirlepool! Especially at night Great house! It‘s worth it! Cons: For go shopping you need a car! Otherwise it‘s very complicated and a long way.

Loved our time at this property. We had 14 people and it worked out great. Location so close to the lake was fabulous and we could easily get to the ferry and train stations. Host David was fabulous and always available. Going to Bellagio and Varenna and Mennagio was great since there are no lines at Colico and it is quiet, peaceful and away from tourists at this property. I would recommend and would go back again to this property. Grass area was great for our grandkids to play on and hot tub was a nice plus.

Pros: We were two families, ten people including a baby, and we had an amazing time at this place! The house is literally just 2 minutes away from the beach. The check-in process went very smoothly. Davide greeted us and showed us around the house. He is a superb host who takes great care of his guests. The house was incredibly clean and had all the necessary kitchen equipment. Every morning, we received fresh bread and croissants. Milk, water, and coffee were always available. I’ve been to many places, but this was a completely different experience! The whole family felt so well taken care of. Every day, Davide warmed up and cleaned the jacuzzi. I would recommend this place 100%. The price is worth it for such a new and clean villa. Thank you, Davide!
