Waterfront vacation rentals in Lake Maggiore

Lovely apartment by the lake. We got up everyday with beautiful view of lake como by the window. Very calmed, not far from Villa del balbianello 6 minutes by car.

Absolutely wonderful stay and amazing host. The apartment was exactly as described and the views and location were perfect. We loved sitting on the balcony, looking over the water and watching and hearing the people below. There are 2 wine bars just outside the door and also many restaurants. Alberto picked us up at the station and explained the apartment and area. Giorgio’s kindness was immeasurable. The trains had unexpectedly stopped running and he personally booked our transportation back to Milan and drove us to meet a new express bus. We could have never done this without him, as this was unpublished at the time. What a wonderful man! Varenna is a beautiful small village and there are many outstanding restaurants and things to do. Our highlight was taking a cooking class with Chef Marco, Chef’s Table, and later dining at his new restaurant, La Scarpetta. We recommend visiting the villas in town, taking the Taxi Boat to Villa Balbianello and hiking to the waterfall in Fiumelatte.

Absolutely a gem of a place. Quiet and away from all the touristy noise but still very convenient location and everything you need at your fingertips. Such a beautiful home that you will wake up feeling like a princess!

This place is wonderful. It is beautifully located overlooking the lake and is very peaceful. I’d recommend this place to anyone staying on the lake. The AC in the room was perfect for the summer heat and cooled it down so fast. I felt right at home in the place. Would love to stay here again

Had the best time in Emanuela's apartment! She was so accommodating when we arrived earlier in the day, allowing us to drop our bags off so we didn't have to carry them about. Once we checked in, she was so helpful with local recommendations and tips. The apartment itself is stunning, right on the waterfront and has so much charm and personality! It allows for easy access to the busier parts of the lake, yet is in a peaceful area! Would entirely recommend the apartment to anyone wanting to visit, and will hopefully visit again at some point in the future!

Ettore's place was perfect for my wife and me! It matched the description well and was very clean. It is perfectly located right by the Varenna square and a short walk down to the water. Ettore picked us up off of the train and helped us get settled. Upon check-out we walked to the train station which is about 10-minutes away. The best part of the apartment is its location. Out the front door there is an excellent restaurant (Il Cavitappi) and wine shop (In Vinis Veritas). Albergo del Sole is a couple of (short) blocks away and is perfect for pizza. Gelato and breakfast stops are also very close. We rented a boat for the day and the dock is also very close to the apartment.

I would give this place ten stars if I could! The view is amazing. The place was just like the pictures and it was nice to have a little kitchenette. Gianluca was so kind and a great host! Definitely would recommend!

Betty and Markus were the most gracious hosts. So thoughtful and responsive and beyond helpful. They are wonderful people whom we immensely enjoyed. The loft has a beautiful position right on the lake and sitting on the balcony was so idyllic. The loft was spacious, exceeding comfortable beds and furniture, plenty of hot water, great amenities, sparkling clean, and Betty had "starter food" in the fridge for us which was so appreciated and helpful. We booked a boat tour of the lake with them for our first morning and it was spectacular! Highly recommend. Betty was very helpful in providing info related to local transportation, restaurants, groceries, and local markets. Fantastic experience and we can't more highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay - would definitely recommend! The apartment is very clean and well equipped (especially the kitchen, there was all the basics you need for cooking along with coffee which was much needed after a day of travelling!). Great views of the lake from the kitchen and terrace and ideally situated - a short walk to Ossuccio lido/sala Comacina and quick bus or 20 minute walk along the greenway to Lenno for bigger supermarkets etc. This was our third time staying in this area of Lake Como and we all agreed that the location was perfect, quiet and beautiful but also close to all our favourite lidos and restaurants. Monica was a brilliant host. She helped us with recommendations for restaurants and also made reservations for us when we needed help which was so kind. She answered us very quickly and was very friendly - we would definitely choose to stay at her apartment again.

This place was beautiful! Lake access and had everything we needed. Carmen was a wonderful host and I hope we are able to return in the future!

Comfortable and clean place with a spectacular view of Lake Como. We had our own parking space which is a must around the lake. We took the bus up to Bellagio one day. Nice seafood restaurant next door. We ate there 2 nights. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful place, with a pool and a view of the lake, a great destination.

Thank you so much for an incredible stay. The apartment is amazing, with beautiful views. Maurizio was a super helpful host and was really clear prior to booking about the building works next door. They didn't effect our stay at all in the 3 days there was barely any noise (i think most the major construction is complete anyway). Maurizio gave us some lovely recommendations and with a car it's really easy to get around. Would definitely recommend and love to come back!

This was the most unusual lodging I've ever been in on a road trip The house had everything I needed and more. My favorite spot is the upper terrace. I was lucky enough to spend a few evenings there, processing all the content for the day to the sound of birdsong. It's not easy to get here, but it's worth it. When you open the door of this house, it's like stepping into a fairy tale. Unforgettable experience, thank you!

Very responsive and easy/flexible check in process. Historical spot with a great location and very kind hosts. Would easily stay again and recommend that if you’re questioning whether to book your stay— book it here!

They say that Bellagio is the jewel of lake como , i believe its Where you stay and also the host , I have been in different places with different and marvelous location but nothing comparable with a place that you feel comfortable in during your stay,and what even makes your stay beyond expectations is the host and i believe Deborah did really made things lovely and easy specially for someone that is not familiar with local customs or the location Simply one of the most beautiful experiences i’v ever had and strongly recommend the place as the photos does not do justice to the place trust me

The view is adorable. The location is the best. Car park is crucial to enjoy your stay and it was available upon request for free.

Great host. Very responsive even though I was always asking questions. Couldn’t of had a better host

Nice location with very cool restaurants/bars nearby and a very kind responsive host.

Cozy and spacious apartment in a great location. Friendly and caring host. The best way to find the place by car is at the restaurant mentioned in the instructions. The address of the apartment was a little in the small streets. Overall, I can recommend!

We loved, this apartment, Bellano and Gianpaolo in that order. The apartment, while in an historic, older building has been completely remodeled and feels like new. It overlooks Lake Como and is an easy walk to restaurants, cafes, sights and the ferry terminal. Gianpaolo was lovely to work with and made sure we were well oriented when we checked in. I only wish we could have stayed longer. -Vince

the place was amazing, much better than the pictures, Barbara was so nice and responsive, simply perfect

The apartment (consisting of two rooms, a bathroom, and a small hallway) is cozy and very functional. It is tastefully furnished, very well equipped and above all very clean.

Absolutely wonderful stay 😊 the flat and the views are absolutely gorgeous!! In a quieter area of lake Como, but it is an absolute gem. Still plenty of bars/restaurants within walking distance, and a little shop as well. There is a wonderful bar/cafe a 10 min walk down the lake front, which is the best place I’ve had my morning coffee. Musso will now be our base for future visits to Lake Como - there are few tourists but a 10 min drive to Menaggio where you can catch the ferry to Como, Bellagio and Varenna (among others). We didn’t go to Como, but Varenna and Bellagio were each a 15 min boat ride. Simone was extremely helpful with recommendations, and also when we extended our trip for a few days. You must catch the sunrise on the balcony - it is magical, as is the whole place! Plenty of parking, and a little beach right infront of the apartment. Cannot recommend enough, and we will be back. Thank you Simone 😊
