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.

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 drove Francesco’s boat around the lake to see all of the sights, including Varenna, Bellagio, and the beautiful Villas surrounding the area.Would visit again - 6 out of 5 stars. ##### Lee M.

We enjoyed so many things about the house including morning coffee on the patio, evening bocce tournaments, a wonderful dinner cooked by Chef Umberto, a wonderful boat tour of Lake Como with Francesco, and much more. Francesco is an incredible host. He even provided some groceries to start our week along with pastries on the first morning. Wonderful! ##### Libby M.

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.

He contacted us days before our arrival to make our arrival as easy as possible. The home was spectacular, clean, spacious, with fantastic views from every window. He was kind and had the basics for us so we did not have to run to the market for first day essentials. The home was centrally located on Lake Como, perfect for avoiding the crowded major city. Francesco was a warm welcoming host, made us feel like we were family visiting him. Absolutely a wonderful experience we will cherish for many years. Thank you very much Francesco for your hospitality! ##### Mario N.

Everything was better than expected. Our family of 5 stayed here and only wish we could have stayed longer then five days. The pictures do not even come close to how beautiful this villa is from the bocce court to the wine cellar it is truly amazing. It is located only minutes from the town which offers great restaurants, shops and cafes. Across the lake is Bellagio which is worth visiting. Lugano is also just a 30 minute drive away. Francesco is very accessible and makes you feel at home as well as offers great suggestions for places to eat and things to do in the area. I would highly recommend staying here and would rent this villa again without hesitation. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bevan R. 19 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Simply Perfect! 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.

I’ve traveled quite a bit and have stayed in many vacation rentals. The experience with Francesco was top notch. He was very prompt in replying to any questions or special requests that we may have had prior and during our visit. Being that this villa is owned by his family makes pride of ownership and personal experience top priority for him. The villa itself was very well maintained and spacious. It offered bocci and many areas for guests to sit and watch the lake activities. I’d recommend Francescos chef (Umberto) to prepare a meal for you and guests at the villa. Again exceptional dinner experience on the veranda. If your lucky to book a personal tour of the lake with Francesco will be the icing on the cake of your visit. Look forward to visiting again! ##### Kevin Y.
