I can't say enough nice things about this villa but importantly, Francesco made our visit exceptional! He became our 'go to' person for everything - including transportation throughout Lake Cuomo, to/from airports and a personal boat tour on the lake on his vintage boat. We did the boat tour the next day after arrival and became quite familiar with the towns we wanted to go visit. One day, after a long day of touring one of the quaint villages, Chef Umberto came to the villa and had a delicious dinner ready for us. This home is worth your while. We were not disappointed.

The kitchen/frig was stocked with snacks and breakfast food to hold us over for the entire stay. Lovely place to relax and enjoy the view. Easy access to the town and ferry. We would stay here again if back in Como! Wine cellar was also fun to explore and find some delicious wines to try. ##### Nikki S.

Francesco came the next morning with Cornetti for our family and friends to enjoy.The property is impeccable with perfectly groomed lawns, amazing views, and a great location within walking distance to the local town of Argegno.

We also had his chef come in one evening to cook for us. Ample amount of food was amazing. I highly recommend both the boat and chef…well worth it! Francesco also came through with a driver one day when we had our driver cancel. We could not have had a better stay! If you are on the fence, book it! ##### Lorrie S.

He is truly that as he takes care of you like you are his family. Anything we asked, he provided with ease. We enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by the chef and served impeccably. It was my husband’s birthday dinner and we had a cake and sparklers!! Beautiful location offering village charm with full access to the other lake locations. Should we decide to visit Como again we would choose the Villa again. ##### sondra h.

The views from the villa are breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed the patio from the first cup of coffee in the morning to dining al fresco in the evening. We took a tour of Lake Como with Francesco who has lived in the area his whole life and took the ferry to visit Bellagio and Varenna. The bedrooms and living room were very comfortable and there is a game area downstairs. We travel as a family every other year and everyone agreed that the villa was the nicest place that we have ever stayed. Francesco was very helpful and had coffee and snacks ready for us. We would love to go again! ##### Emily R.

This, by far, has been the best house we have ever stayed in. Francesco surpassed all of our expectations. We loved him and the villa. Chica also helped us on a daily basis with any questions. I highly recommend taking a boat tour early in your stay with Francesco. He will inform you about the towns, the ferries, restaurants, the lakeside villas. Chef Umberto’s meal was fabulous. We could not ask for more. Francesco will see to your every need. Absolutely wonderful! Thank you Francesco! ##### cathy m.

To be honest, we think this place was better than the pictures (and the pictures looked pretty good). It was simply perfect for our family holiday (8 people including 2 kids) and we can't imagine a better place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Lake Como. The house and gardens had so much space, and was so comfortable, we didn't really want to leave. Bedrooms & Bathrooms really well laid out. The lounge and dining room had heaps of light and opened up with incredible views of the lake. Our favourite parts were afternoon games of Bocce with food & drinks at the outside table; jumping into the Lake from our deck; table tennis battles; an evening birthday dinner under the stars. Thank you Francesco for a perfect holiday. We hope to return again one day! ##### Bevan R.

Francesco, the owner, is a dynamic and warm person who is easy to deal with and always available if you need him. He helped us with dinner reservations, cabs and connected us to the most amazing tour guide in Milan. He provided a chef for breakfasts and for several dinners. He sent us to an amazing winery that was near the Swiss border. Anything we needed was addressed. The house is beautiful. The setting is amazing! There were 6 of us and there was room to spread out and just enjoy the glorious views. The house is located on the lake which means you have to walk down a long steep driveway to get in or out. The town is not far and the ferry is right there but the walk into town is a bit tricky because the roads are narrow and while they have a walking path, it is a bit hairy and we were all "senior citizens."And Francesco did help with that too. We loved our time there and recommend it highly! ##### Joan D.

The Villa is only approximately 1.2 km walk from the Argegno, where there is a ferry stop and restaurants. From here we caught ferries around the lake to various villages and gardens, they were beautiful. However, the highlight of our stay was the villa with its beautiful garden, set right on the lake & constantly changing vistas over the lake. How often do you get to stay in a villa on Lake Como? Out of the seven days we spent half the time just staying at the villa. We read, sketched, listen to music, drank Bellinis and even went for a swim in the 17° lake. The host, Francesco, could not have been more obliging. He was always available on WhatsApp and would turn up if necessary with a big smile on his face. I could only say, this was an experience of a lifetime. ##### Catherine W.
