Beautiful apartment in a perfect location we had a great time ! Alessandra is a wonderful host !

We just spent 4 nights and we had a wonderful experience Alessandra was a great host very helpful. I would highly recommend.

My wife and I were very impressed with Alessandra's apartment, having been in so many others over the years in Italy. Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen and bathrooms were completely stocked and the robes and slippers were like an upscale hotel. The furniture was very comfortable . Alessandra is very well organized, with tons of info on everything around Como. Lots of good restaurants and shopping close by. Grazie mille per tutti Alessandra Tom & Nancy

The place is absolutely beautiful. It is in a great location of walking streets. We had a car and we parked in a garage several blocks away. Had we to do over we would have taken the train up from Milan and not driven. Everything you will want to do you can do by walking. The owners were great! We would stay there again if we ever go back.

Alessandra and the Secret garden was just perfection! from start to finish, area was great walking distance from shops and restaurants, apartment was gorgeous and spacious, clean and on a lovely quiet street. Thank You!

Alessandra & Riccardo were very gracious and helpful hosts. Their home is so beautiful! They thought of everything we could need . We feel lucky to have stayed at their lovely home in Lake Como:)

Positives: Very caring owner. Good welcome. Good communication. Great location. Tons of extras such as teas, coffees, toiletries. Beautifully furnished. Very modern. Negatives: Air conditioning by portable units that had been removed at time of stay. There were fans but we were hot at night during our mid September stay. Can hear footsteps from upstairs due to the old structure of building. Overall: We had a great stay and definitely would return.

A lovely apartment in beautiful Lake Como. The common rooms are very impressive, the pictures are very accurate. The kitchen is very well outfitted, while we only had breakfast and an afternoon snack in we could have prepared a full dinner with all the cooking utensils and supplies provided. All the daily essentials are provided. The furnishings are all high quality including very comfortable beds. Having a washer and dryer was also very handy. Finally we cannot say enough positive things regarding the hospitality of Alessandra and Riccardo they left us feeling like guests not customers. Riccardo drove us to the train station on the morning of our departure. Our only disappointment is that we didn’t stay longer.

Large modern apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. Well stocked kitchen has everything you need and Allesandra is a great hostess. Restaurants, market and shopping nearby within easy walking distance. Sightseeing requires driving or public transportation but well worth it, Lake Como is beautiful

The Secret Garden is so lovely! The accommodations were spacious, upscale, furnishings plush (I'm an interior designer, so am in the know). Alexandra and her husband were so very gracious. Could not have asked for more. Absolutely recommend highly!!!

Alessandra has been a wonderful host and the apartment was simply stunning. It was equipped with everything we need and was super cosy. Walking distance to the lake and restaurants all around. Very much recommend it!

Location très sympathique et bien située. Seul hic les 2 chambres ne sont pas indépendantes. Ceci devrait être précisé dans l'annonce.

Thank you Alessandra.....everything was wonderful

Great location and very comfortable accomodation. Alessandra and her husband were perfect hosts. We were two mature couples from Australia and for us this was the perfect location and accomodation to really enjoy Como.

Alessandra has thought of everything a traveller could want and has been very generous and thoughtful in this very well appointed apartment. The secret garden is both a surprise and a real bonus. Parking at a nearby station made it simple and convenient. It is perfectly located for exploring Como and we had a wonderful time.

The Secret Garden is in a lovely location and is spacious. The heating was excellent, hot water supply no problem and the neighbours are quiet. The bed linen was high quality. The kitchen had great supplies of utensils as well as some cooking supplies. The apartment was exceptionally clean. Thank you Alessandra.

Alessandra has thought of everything. The apartment itself is beautiful and in a great location. Walk out the door and you are straight into the narrow streets of Como with cute shops and cafes all in walking distance. The apartment is stocked with all the extras you might need.... pasta, sauce and even a panettone and bottle of wine!!!! We loved our time here and will be back soon hopefully. Alessandra was also very kind in helping us get medical attention for our daughter who had some ear problems. I give our stay 10 out of 10 and highly recommend this apartment and the lovely people who own it. Grazie Alessandra ... stai molto gentile See you again soon. X

Ce bien correspond en tout point à l'image que nous pu observer sur le site tant au niveau de son aspect (plutôt standing) que de sa situation au centre de Como. Le parking fermé est à 5 mns à pied pour 10€ par jour. Si j'ai trouvé les plafonds superbes il n'en est passé de même concernant la famille vivant au dessus. Pour le moins que je puisse dire, ils sont exagérément bruyants c'est dérangeant !!!!!! . Certainement dû à des planchers/plafonds anciens sans dalle provoquant des craquements intempestifs à chaque déplacement. Dommage d'autant qu'Alessandra est une personne accueillante et sympathique.

We had the recent pleasure of staying at "The Secret Garden", a luxurious and beautifully decorated modernized apartment, situated in the historical center of Como, Italy. Shopping, restaurants and markets are all just steps away and the ferries running to all points on Lake Como are also just a few blocks away as well. We also set out to explore with an easy 30 minute drive and day trip to Lake Lugano, Switzerland for sight seeing and lunch, which was a nice outing. We had dinner in the apartment after shopping in a nearby market and enjoyed having our breakfast in the bright and lovely kitchen. Our hosts were so kind as to have several breakfast items and coffee for convenience as well. I really enjoyed the sparkling bubbly water as it was quite refreshing after a day out on the lake. Another discovery nearby was the patisserie a stones throw from the apartment. The croissants and cappuccinos were an absolute treat for us, not to mention the chocolate shop. On our final night we found a romantic spot for a special dinner at Cibooooh. This lovely home will be one that we fondly remember, for the attention to detail, the pristine, sparkling marble floors and chandeliers and all the comforts of home. Our hosts were so gracious and we thank you for opening your lovely home to us and other travelers as it offered us a truly unique Italian experience. Alessandra and Ricardo we thank you!

Das Appartement liegt im herzen der altstadt, aber abseits der touristenströme und ist sehr grosszügig eingerichtet. wir haben die wenigen Tage sehr genossen und werden wiederkommen. Como und Umgebung haben sehr viel zu bieten. grazie alessandra
