The cleanliness was the only thing that felt good.

I recently stayed at Foresteria Lombarda La Spiaggia for three nights and was extremely disappointed with the experience. Here are the main issues I encountered: 1. **Poor Breakfast Quality:** The breakfast provided was of very low quality. There were no fresh options, only some buns and sandwiches with ham and cheese. Each person was allotted one boiled egg, and no additional sides were offered. Overall, it was a very disappointing start to each day. 2. **Small and Uncomfortable Room:** Despite booking a room with a lake view, the room was incredibly small. It was too cramped to enjoy staying there comfortably. 3. **Lack of Privacy:** The setup felt more like a dorm room than a private accommodation. The owner has an office just behind a wall and was constantly walking around, which made us feel like we were always being watched. The walls were very thin, and we could hear everything, making it impossible to relax. 4. **Damp and Uncomfortable Conditions:** There was no electrically heated radiator in the room, so our clothes and the entire room remained damp throughout our stay. It rained heavily for two days, and nothing could dry out, including the bathroom. 5. **Unappealing Area:** The surrounding area was not appealing at all. It's a small village with nothing to do and barely any restaurants. The "beachfront" is just a mooring place for boats with a rocky surface, not suitable for relaxation or enjoyment. 6. **Overpriced and Poor Value:** The owner seemed more interested in making money than providing a good experience. We were expected to order from his menu for evening dinner, which felt restrictive. The overall experience felt like a rip-off, considering the poor quality and high price. In conclusion, this stay might be suitable for older individuals who do not require much

Breakfast was freshly prepared each day, and there was always a good selection of eats allowing for any allergies. Good nutritious balance meals were eaten each day. Marco and Chiara the hosts were the perfect partnership for savouries and sweets. During our stay we had fantastic evening meals; again, everything was freshly sourced and produced to a very high standard. Marco was very knowledgeable about the area and offered great tips and advice which helped us plan our days of exploration of Lake Como and the Lombarda regions. His insights were priceless and he and his wife went the extra mile for us. Very warm and friendly hosts with cracking accommodation. Looking forward to a future visit to Foresteria Lombarda as there’s much more to see and do including hill walking and the many views of Lake Como.

Wish we could have stayed longer than planned as our time at this location was first class. Could not fault our stay, it was brilliant, well worth the money.

Quiet Area, Beautiful Scenery, Marco and Family made this an amazing trip with their hospitality, we will always stay with them when we come back! Also the breakfasts were amazing!!

Our four night stay was more like visiting with friends, Marco and family were excellent hosts, friendly, helpful, great cooks and nothing was too much trouble! We had the mountain view room that has a small balcony and I'm glad we had that one. The bed was super comfy and huge, the room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and the secure parking an added bonus. We had fantastic breakfasts and eat there on three evenings as the food was excellent, freshly prepared with vegetables from Marco's garden.

Absolutely nothing! we honestly cannot fault anything.

Clean, beautiful view overlooking the lake. Variety of home cooked breakfast

It was summer and the locals use the beach so it was noisy and people talking till late at night

Speciality items freshly cooked for breakfast, different each day, which were very nice. Fabulous views. Excellent hospitality. Nice to have the option to have dinner. Very flexible with breakfast times.

Although there was a rain shower, there was no separate spray for hair washing. A rack or shelf in the shower was not available so was difficult to place soap, sponge and other toiletries within easy reach as they had to be placed on the shower base area.

Everything it’s an absolute gem! It has a station and lake shuttle close by as well as pool and public beach. It’s right on the lake what’s not to love

Nothing and anyone that has anything negative to say needs to take a long hard look at themselves

A truly exceptional stay with wonderful hosts in Marco and his wife, Chiara. Wonderful room, excellent food and even better quality of service which I feel was second to nothing I have ever experienced before. My partner is gluten intolerant and the hosts went out of their way to facilitate and cook dishes which enabled her to receive the same quality of homemade cooking as others receive. This accommodation comes very close to the perfect 10/10 in all regards. NB: This is a 2 room accommodation so don't expect hotel facilities

The only negative, and I realise for many this would be a positive, is that the accommodation does require transport in order to access nearby town(s). However, the secure parking, if you have a car, is a tremendous bonus.
