La Corte Del Gallo (MXP) - Superior Apartment
Stayed here for 4 nights while visiting a friend and doing business. Tha apartment had everything you could want or need for a long extended stay if needed. Plenty of space, gated complex, and the breakfast kit every morning is a nice touch! Trains run past the complex til about 11pm, but this was no bother for me, and they go fast, so I doubt it would bother most visitors! 5 stars all around, will stay here again when I come back in June ❤️

Fiò & Giò - Whole building - Varenna, Lake Como
A nice set of rooms very close to everything that matters in Varenna. The accommodations were clean and Debora did a wonderful job communicating all information needed for the stay. She is very kind and friendly. The view from the roof is absolutely stunning and deserves some time during your stay with wine and snacks (weather permitting). I would stay again. A couple additional points to share: 1) All rooms are above ground level, so if someone has any mobility concerns, this might be an issue. Furthermore, there are lots of steps everywhere in Varenna. Be prepared to work your glutes. 2) It can be a bit noisy at night, so, if you are a sensitive sleeper, you should grab some ear plugs/buds to help block out noise. The church tower across the street rings all day, including night and early morning.

Gaia Apartment No. 3
The apartment offers good space for a family (2 adults/2 children), is practically furnished (for simple cooking, built-in boxes, board games), is clean and in a good location in Ascona. The hosts were straightforward. Check-in/out were flexible by arrangement and were very accommodating to us. A fine bakery is right across the street from the apartment and the restaurant diagonally vis-à-vis is also highly recommended! Thanks again

Friendly Home
The place is nice and clean, host was very responsive, friendly and helpful. Having coffee and little snacks included makes it even better!

The little nest,Studio in Varenna,near the station
I had a great stay! The host was very welcoming, responsive, and made sure everything was perfect. The place was clean, cozy, and just as described. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend it to others!

At Betty's in the village
The property was located on a mountain by the lake. You had a beautiful view of the lake. The description and communication with Elisabetta worked flawlessly. The place, terrace and parking were exactly as described in the advertisement.

Sweety ecoapartment near the lake
Thanks for the wonderful stay. The place is very nicely decorated. I loved the many lovingly designed details. A nice surprise was the full fridge and the fine things for breakfast. Massimo and Viviana were very friendly and the communication worked out great. I really enjoyed the time and would book the place again anytime.

Come stay in our "Little Nest"!
since we were already here last year, of course we already knew everything. For us, the few days were very relaxing again and we would come back anytime. the apartment is spread over 3 floors but that did not bother us. also that no TV is available, we can only see as an advantage. Sometimes away from everyday life and all the luxury stuff. There are plenty of other possibilities in Ticino. That's luxury enough. Thank you, gladly again.
House rentals in Lake Como

Lilla house LAKE VIEW with garden
We very much liked the house and its surroundings. Perfect for those looking to discover the area of Lago di Como. Very close to Varenna and with an amazing view of the mountains. A place to come back to!

Small vacation home
Quiet and relaxing stay. Communication was easy and efficient. Accessible by train, 10-15 minutes walk from the station. Thank you for everything:)

Well-served three-room apartment
We had the pleasure of staying at Stefania's house in Osio Sotto and we couldn't be more satisfied! The area is quiet, the complex is very nice and well maintained, and the house was impeccably clean. Stefania is an exceptional host: kind, helpful and understanding. Despite our delay due to the flight, he welcomed us with great courtesy, making us feel comfortable right away. If you are looking for an ideal place to stay to visit Leolandia (only 8 minutes by car!), this is undoubtedly a perfect choice. A positive experience in every respect. Super recommended!

Villa Rita with pool 5 min from Varenna center
Beuatiful old house with amazing atmosphere and spectacular views. 🤩 If we would come back to lake Como, we would definitely stay in Vila Rita again.

Dream lake Panorama - garage in the centre Varenna
Everything about this stay was more then perfect, the view was incredible and worth staying here for this alone! having both parking spots was handy, bed was incredibly comfortable, one of the best showers I’ve used, communication and recommendations are the best we’ve ever experienced from a host, they made a great trip even better, The walk into the town is fine, very scenic and chose to do it on a couple of occasions. Couldn’t recommend this place and host enough, already looking trying to stay here again.

La Chiesina Casa Vacanze
Excellent place to stay and great hosts. Nice area, it’s about an hour’s walk to the old city, a bit more if you follow the greenway but a nicer route. Parking place is at the property and easy to find. Highly recommended.

House in the woods
we had an amazing stay and can only recommend this place! thank you Naomi 💕

FamilyHaven: lakefront, stunning view great place!
An Unforgettable Stay at Lake Como – Perfect for Families! We had the most wonderful experience staying at this Airbnb in Lake Como! The location was absolutely perfect – everything we needed was nearby, yet it still felt peaceful and secluded. And the view? Simply breathtaking! Waking up to those stunning lake and mountain vistas every morning was an unforgettable treat. The apartment itself was superb in every way. Spread across three spacious stories, it gave our family plenty of room to relax and enjoy ourselves. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the comfort levels were top-notch, making it feel like a home away from home. The host was fantastic, with clear and fluid communication throughout our stay. Any questions or needs we had were promptly addressed, which made the experience even more stress-free. I would definitely recommend this Airbnb, especially to families with kids. With so much space and such a convenient

Picinque "B" Como Lake
The airbnb was perfect for a couple of nights in Como, our host was very helpful and responsive. 10/10 would recommend

Casa Vacanza Castagna
We had the pleasure of staying at Cinzia’s place for one night, and we truly enjoyed our stay. The check-in was smooth and Cinzia was always responsive. She was very friendly and had already put some delicious fruits and eggs from her garden for us. The place was cozy, clean, and had almost everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The view from the bedroom was beautiful, especially with no mist on the lake. There was a supermarket and a bar nearby if you needed anything. Since Nesso has plenty of stairs because of the topography, I suggest not going with heavy baggage or suitcases. Ponte della Civera is a must-visit if you have the time. If you don’t have a car, you can use bus C30 from Como, I suggest you check the timetable on the app and buy your tickets in advance; it can get quite crowded. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely book again.

Cottage: Lakefront View COMO Parking AC
The lockbox to get your keys is not located where Google maps says for directions. it took a some time to locate where to get the keys. it's in town across from the ferry. near the ice cream shop.

Porta Rossa: The cozy retreat
If you walk to Porta Rossa, it's like going into a little fairytale world. Resiga is small and homely, with many alleys, plants, and no matter where you look, you discover something new on every corner. The apartment is located in a very old house and lovingly furnished, a highlight is the romantic courtyard. There is plenty of parking either directly on the lake or slightly up the mountain (each about a 3-minute walk incl. Stairs). The location is very quiet, the equipment perfectly sufficient and the bed very comfortable. There were even heatable in the beds for the cold autumn nights. You can quickly reach the region around Intra by car from where many ferry connections leave, a pizzeria is within walking distance. Birgit was always accommodating and easily accessible. We were very happy to immerse ourselves in the fairytale world of Resiga and highly recommend it to everyone! :)

Villa Damia, directly on the lake
We had a wonderful stay. Riccardo’s home is wonderful and as described. The lake and Mountains View are breathtaking. A great place to relax and be peaceful. Walkable to Menaggio and easy to take the ferry to other towns like Bellagio and Varenna. Riccardo is a great and responsive to all questions. Can’t wait to go back again!

Petza Apartment
Perfect stay, adorable host very welcoming and caring. This small apartment is very cute and very clean located in the heart of the village, very accessible. Restaurants and bars nearby. Argegno is a very pretty picturesque village on Lake Como Loved our short stay!

Ester's House, Lenno. LAKE COMO, Italy
This apartment is in a perfect location for a mid-lake visit to Lago di Como. It’s a few steps from the Lenno ferry stop, an easy boat ride and walk to Villa Carlotta and Villa del Balbaniello, respectively, and is situated right at the waters edge with jaw-dropping views of the lake and mountains from the living room, primary bedroom, and one bathroom. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We were met at the ferry and they were very flexible about a late check out. The maps and ferry schedule provided were helpful as well. The apartment is absolutely stunning. High ceilings, big windows, and elegant and sophisticated interior design. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were great. We appreciated many of the design choices, like the hideaway coffee machine and art complementing the furnishings. Lenno was quiet during our April stay and I imagine the experience could be different during high season. Regardless, we hope we can visit again. This is a very special place.
Your guide to Lake Como
Welcome to Lake Como
Take one look at Lake Como, and it’s difficult not to fall in love. Though it’s only the third largest of the Italian lakes, there’s a special kind of magic on its Y-shaped waters, one mixing a celebrity-approved landscape with natural charm. Located in the Lombardy region near the Swiss border, the three 16-mile arms of the lake are lined with waterfront towns and neoclassical villas, while the waters lure visitors to enjoy activities such as sailing, swimming, rowing, windsurfing, fishing, and diving.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Como
There’s no better time of year to stay in one of Lake Como’s villas than in the summer, when both the water and land temperatures are at their highest. While the weather can also be humid (especially in July and August), that doesn’t seem to stop the crowds, making it also the busiest travel period. Many also opt for the shoulder months of May and June or September and October, when days are still pleasant, making these times fairly busy as well. The Lake Como International Music Festival, with live orchestral and chamber music played in villas and gardens, draws visitors during these popular travel months. Winters can have quite a bite, with low temperatures around the freezing mark in December and January, but it’s also time for celebration with the Città dei Balocchi (City of Toys) holiday festivities.
Top things to do in Lake Como
Bellagio
Bellagio sits at the triangular tip of Lake Como’s two southern arms and comprises all the charms of an Italian lakeside village. Here you’ll see stone staircases lined with boutiques and cafes, gardens and groves bursting with colorful blooms, and a charming waterfront fit for a postcard.
Villa del Balbianello
As proof of just how idyllic this 18th-century mansion perched on a promontory is, it often doubles as a Hollywood film set and a celebrity wedding venue. Guided tours of the villa show a glimpse into the eclectic life of its last owner, Count Guido Monzino, who led Italy’s first Mount Everest expedition.
Museum and Gardens at Villa Carlotta
While the opulence of the 17th-century villa impresses with its decorative rooms and art collection, it’s no match for the calm elegance of its botanical gardens, dotted with azaleas and rhododendrons, overlooking the waters in Tremezzo.
