Location is wonderful, view of the lake beautiful. Massimo (the owner) is one of those people who truly cares about his business and guests. Outstanding customer service.
We wish we could have stayed longer.

I know that people usually do not read long essays so I try to make it short.
Everything what has been written before about Massimo and his hospitality is 100% true.
He is a great host who makes your stay pleasant since crossing a B&B Casa della Musica threshold.
At the very beginning we received a bunch of useful information, where to eat, how commute, what to see.
Furthermore there was a guideline prepared by Massimo with places to visit, restaurants and even allergens in served breakfast.
Since Iām writing about breakfast - they were great. You shouldnāt be disappointed. Coffee, scramble eggs with bacon, yoghurt, cheese, local ham, croissants. Everything fresh and served in sufficient portions.
The B&B is located 150 meters from the beach which is almost deserted. There were not more than 20 people during a day. The B&B was extremally clean. Massimo made beds every day, clean the floor and toilets.
When we need something we texted him on Whatsapp and he tried to helped us immediately. It was a wonderful holiday among other thing thanks to him. I recommend visiting Casa della Musica to all of you who like spending time in a nice atmosphere, far away from crowds. Massimo, grazie once again and see you! Ciao, PIotr
everything was great!

Beautiful B&B in a beautiful location. We loved our stay here so much. Olcio is peaceful and relaxed and very easy to access by train. Just a short train ride to other busier towns around the lake. The local gelateria (2mins walk) is great too.
Our room was tidy and sunny with a beautiful view of the lake.
Massimo was the best host we couldāve asked for. Friendly and helpful and cooked a delicious (and very large!) breakfast each morning.
Canāt wait to come back.

For the first time we booked a B&B and it was just amazing. The location is very nice and the view from our room on the lake was beautiful. Massimo was a great host and always very friendly and courteous with great cordiality. Thus, we will come back for sure!

Amazing host! Very nice and friendly, good breakfast and wonderful lake view from the window/balcony. Also garage parking! We would definitely come back and recommend to everyone who wants to see the lake and stay for a few nights.
It requires some time to connect with other popular venues but it was perfectly fine for us because we had a car. Driving around can be a little challenge because the streets are tight but we were used to that :)

Massimo, as the name means, is just the best host we ever knew, and also became our friend. At the Casa della Musica, there is attention to every detail that can make the stay enjoyable. It was a fantastic experince. The place itself, little Olcio, is also nice, bucolic and well located in the midlake area of Como. There is a train station very near that takes you to a City, Varenna,where you can take a boat or a ferry that crosses to the beatifull cities of Bellagio and Menagio.

I had a delightful time at Casa Della Musica!! The owner, Massimo, is the loveliest person you will ever meet! He made me feel right at home. The room was clean, spacious with a very big balcony all around the room enjoying fantastic views over Lago Como. The bed was comfortable and there was also a small fridge and a TV in the room, though I havenāt used either. Massimo prepared a superb breakfast with a bit of classic music in the background.
I highly recommend this accommodation!
nothing at all.
for me everything was ok

The best hospitality I have ever. Massimo is excellent host and very helpfull.
Everything was ok : The room was very clean,, fully equiped and big balconies with great view to the lake. breakfast very good.
Olcio is a small nice Italian village and is a perfect location if you are looking for a quiet holiday and great to explore all of the lake.
Grazie mille Massimo

We had an exceptional stay at Casa Della Musica There is a reason this accommodation has a review score of 9.8! Massimo goes above and beyond for his guests. For example, the first morning at breakfast, we were offered coffee and tea. My daughter mentioned she liked fruit tea but it wasn't one of the possible choices, however, Massimo went and got it for her the next morning. The breakfast was diverse (not just sweet like you're used to in Italy) and delicious, with soft classical music playing in the background. Massimo's cousin even offered us a cake he made - it was one of the juiciest cakes ever!
Another thing that was incredible, was the book of recommendations of all the things people visiting lake Como can do during their stay ... in four different languages! I don't recall ever seeing books like this at apartments/B&Bs, maybe at a hotel and even then, they don't make as much effort as Massimo did, with all the transport/time tips.
The village is cute and small, the beach is 2 minutes away, you only have to cross a tunnel. It is very peaceful and Varenna is only 10km away. The road is really nice on that end of the lake, so everything is easy to reach. Then you can take a boat trip - we did the central part of the lake, which is considered the prettiest and we loved it :)
We really want to go back to lake Como and when we do, we will definitely book Casa Della Musica!

The best hospitality I have ever experienced when traveling. Owner Massimo gave us a tips for a day trips, you don'r need ro be prepared upfront, as Massimo has a guide for nicest places to visit on the lake Como. The breakfast was great (everything you can think of - salat, cheese, eggs, salami, fruits, croissants, cake and the best cappuccino!). The room was spacious, clean, have everything you need. Beds comfortable. Massimo will recommend and book nice places for a dinner nearby. Thank you Massimo for everything!

Massimo is an exceptional host, very kind, and trying everything in his power to accommodate his guests. To top it off, he once even saved us from the rain while we were out in the village. Next to that, the breakfast variety was incredible, as well as the comfort of the bed and the cleanliness of the room.

Very beautiful view on the lake. Super clean rooms and the house. Good location and train station nearby. Massimo is a wonderful host. He is always available and willing to help you anytime. itās a great place for hike excursions.
10.0
First of all the host - Massimo. Easy communication before and during the stay. Detailed information about the accommodations and surroundings e.g. restaurant options in Olcio beforehand. He is always easy to contact if questions arise. Massimo is an open, honest, lovely host, who still manages to give enough space to his guests.
The Mozart Room in the attic is spacious and nicely furnited with really comfortable beds and a modern bathroom. The small details make all the difference like shower gel and swimming towels and oropax!
There is the train station nearby - but no night trains and during the day only once an hour. So please do not let this keep you from experiencing the Casa de la Musica!
The breakfast was rich with cheese, eggs (scrambled or omlette), vegetables and fruits. Also Cappuccino or tea was available.
The lake is beautiful! There is the option to hike in the nearby mountains.
Olcio is a nice Italian village with a gelateria, original food and all the atmosphere you need for an relaxing vacation.
Thank you Massimo at Casa de la Musica - we had an awesome time at you B&B!
9.0
Our room, the view and breakfast were fantastic, but our stay wouldn't have been what it was without our host, Massimo. Massimo was on hand for anything we needed - simple things like ordering a pizza when we arrived late, having train tickets available to purchase on site, extensive recommendations and advice...not to mention the best scrambled eggs we've ever eaten! The B&B felt like a home away from home - the views, the comfort, the nearby gelateria, the proximity of the station...we couldn't have asked for more.
We stayed in the top floor 'Mozart' suite, which was extremely spacious and had everything we needed. The view was exceptional and everything felt clean and modern. Our room was refreshed every morning with teabags, clean towels and a freshly made bed. The shutters on the doors also meant the room was completely blacked out, which allowed us to get a great night's sleep!
Olcio is a wonderful and quaint little village. The beach is within a few hundred metres and there's a train station and gelateria on the doorstep. This would be a perfect location if you are looking for a quiet holiday. However, it is worth noting that you will need to get a train to another town for dinner and/or nightlife as there are very few places to eat/shops within walking distance. The last train is also early - around 8pm - which somewhat limits dinner plans.
The bed in the room is comfortable but on the firm side for those who prefer a squishy mattress!

Massimo is a perfect host. He already sent us instructions on how to find the way best one day before arrival. And this continued throughout the complete vacation. He reserved Restaurants for us and gave us tips for the day.
The rooms are cleaned every day (we've never had such a service in any other B&B) and we could get new towels on demand. Our room had a nice balcony overlooking Lake Como. Massimo prepared a superb breakfast with a bit of classic music in the background, no better start is possible for a perfect stay at the Lake Como.
The B&Bs location is great to explore all of the lake, as Varenna, with ferry connections to several other places, is just 10min away and the eastern coast can even be completely visited by train (Massimo even has train tickets available for his guests).
We'll surely come backš

We absolutely LOVED staying at casa della musica in Lake Como. It was the perfect spot to stay - an incredible view of the lake, close to lots of beautiful swimming spots and lovely restaurants. It was also right near the train station making it so easy to catch the train to Varenna and then the ferry around the golden triangle of varenna, Bellagio and menaggio. Even after visiting the very well known spots of Varenna and Bellagio, I would definitely rather be staying in Olcio at casa della musica. Itās so peaceful and you can really escape the crowds while still being close (also, the food at the restaurants are much better in this area than those in the super tourist-y areas!)
The owner of Casa della Musica, Massimo, is the loveliest person you will ever meet! He made us feel right at home and was so helpful with anything we needed - whether it be advice on the area, train tickets or restaurant bookings. He made us a lovely hearty breakfast every morning and our room was super comfortable, spacious and homey.
We will definitely be back at lake Como one day and we will definitely stay with Massimo when we return!

Olcio is a picture postcard village for a quiet stay. I especially recommend the Gelateria and swimming in the lake. Casa della Musica is very special. The house has amazing views over the lake and Massimo is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and kind host. I hope to return!
