A fantastic paradise to stay! Brunella and Giovanni are lovely people who make you feel very welcome and have plenty ideas what to visit. The house is lovely, well equiped and spacious for 2. The outdoor space is briliant, you can choose plenty of sunny or shadow places. And with the best view ever at Lake Como you don’t want to leave the house at all. We surely come back! Thank you Brunella and Giovanni!

We initially chose Carate Urio b/c of its location midway between Como and Lenno, which were the venues for a weekend wedding celebration we attended. As it turned out, staying at Sans Souci was itself a highlight of our 7-day stay. Both the dining/living area and the spacious bedroom downstairs offered lovely views across the lake. And since our hosts themselves live in the small house during the winter months, the place is fully furnished with appliances, comfortable chairs inside and out, and a wall full of books in multiple languages. Brunella and Giovanni were most helpful in mapping out routes to drive and suggesting restaurants, museums and villas to visit in the area. Despite the 30 or so steps required to reach the house from the designated parking lot down the hill, we 70-year-olds felt like youngsters coming and going to the local lakefront! A marvelous way to experience Lake Como, with gracious hosts who respected our privacy while always being available to answer any questions. Highly recommended!

Beautiful house with the most amazing views of the lake. Comfortable and tastefully furnished, with access to all amenities. The owners live at the top of the garden and are on hand for any needs, at the same time you have privacy. Brunella was so helpful, communicating before we arrived and giving us important information. Later giving us tips on all the things to do in the area and where to eat. She could not have been kinder or more helpful. She even reserved a table for us at a local restaurant the first night we arrived, and provided us with coffee when we forgot to buy some and there was cake in the fridge for our breakfast! I really have nothing bad to say about this. Would have loved to stay longer.

We enjoyed the coziness of the bright house with a lot of comfort, the beautiful garden and the beautiful view. the hospitable welcome by Brunella and Giovanni and very helpful personal tips to explore the area. A place where we would like to come back again!
