House rentals in Lugano

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:)

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.

Elegant villa, lake view
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed Marina’s beautiful old house. It has tons of old-world character; it has a gorgeous view; it’s totally private; and it’s very spacious. We were six couples and there was still room to spare. The house is 20 minutes walk from town but we had cars and drove. Marina’s brother and niece met us for check in and were extremely helpful and gracious. As we arrived after dark, they kindly left provisions for a simple dinner, which was highly appreciated.

For rent "Casetta Ciolina", center, sleeps 4
Very nice apartment, small but intelligently arranged on three levels, suitable for a couple with a child of school age and tastefully furnished. Even on winter days of discreet cold, the accommodation was very warm. Easy check-in and checkout with good flexibility from the host. Great cleanliness. Parking space practically one minute from the house. Enviable location, the apartment is in fact in a very quiet alley, but it remains a few dozen meters from the center of Santa Maria Maggiore and therefore also from shops, restaurants, etc. Thank you Wally, recommended stay!

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.

Detached villa in Verbania
We had a wonderful stay in Fiorella’s home! Comfortable and cozy, matched the description. A very quick and easy walk to cafes and restaurants, as well as Lake Maggiore. Fiorella even provided a crib for our baby, which was so helpful. We would absolutely stay here again!

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

10 minutes from Bellagio ~ Casa Mary ~
Our stay at Enzo and Maddie's was perfect! The location is ideal for exploring the different places to visit on Lake Como. The proximity to Bellagio is a big plus. The apartment is cozy and very clean with all the essentials available. Enzo and Maddie are very responsive hosts and communication was very quick and easy whenever we needed it. We recommend it!

The window on the lake
The apartment is in a great location close to the ferry, and close to the central part of Varenna where restaurants and bars and grocery shops are. Also close to the Monastero gardens, and the path up to the castle. The apartment is large with 2 bedrooms, living area, outside deck area, kitchen, small porch, full bathroom. It is off the main street so is very quiet. At this time of year in November many places are closed so need to check what is open. The ferry across to Bellagio is well worth the trip with boats running almost every 30 minutes.

Peaceful house near laggo Maggiore
Had an unforgettable stay. The house is spacious, has everything you need, an extremely well-equipped kitchen, several balconies from which you could look into the beautiful valley and enjoy the fresh mountain air. We felt extremely comfortable and would recommend Casa Ursula to anyone looking for a quiet retreat in nature. Thank you!

The refuge on the lake
Hi Gabrielle and team, we had a wonderful stay in your apartment in Porto Ceresio. Thank you for your professionalism, thorough instructions, availability, and great location. Once back in Porto Ceresio, we will definitely come back to stay with you, if you agree.

A balcony overlooking the river
Wonderful location, will definitely come back in the summertime!

Country House
We had a very nice vacation at Maria Antonietta's. We were very warmly welcomed and even the fridge was filled. The apartment is nice and offers plenty of space, the bed was also comfortable. The courtyard is great, you have direct access from all rooms - and our daughter was very happy about the slide :).

Designer Apartment Emilia
Great host let us to check in earlier. The flat was 10 meters to city center. Everything was perfect the flat was very clean and stylish. Best stay at Argegno will diffently come back when visiting Argegno. Best reccomendations from our side

Casa sul Monte - Ispra
This unique house has a wonderful location with great surroundings. We are a family of 5 and found everything we needed. The house is very well-equipped and there is plenty of space for playing outside. The nice lady from the farm next door showed us her animals and even gave us fresh eggs and Italian Easter-bread. Unfortunately, we had to leave 3 days early due to severe weather warnings and a sick child. We still enjoyed our stay very much and hope to come back some day.
