About this house rental

This romantic stand-alone cottage offers stunning views and a private garden, ideal for rest and relaxation.

PROPERTY:
The first floor, with stone tile flooring and exposed wood beams, has a living area with a cushioned bench, a full kitchen, and a large terrace.
An outdoor table can be set up on the terrace for al-fresco dining.

The second floor has hardwood flooring, a slanted wood-beamed cathedral ceiling, and a large French window opening onto a cute little terrace.
There is one bedroom with an Italian "matrimoniale" bed (in between queen and king size, 163 cm/64"), and a bathroom with a bidet and shower.

PARKING:
There is no private parking at the property, but the little town has plenty of free public parking throughout. Depending on the time of day you may find one very close to the house, or a short walk away, at most a few hundred yards.
It has never been an issue for our guests.

FOOD/DINING:
This is a self-catering property - you will need to bring your own provisions or eat out.

Brienno is a very small town - it only has one great pizzeria and one upscale restaurant. However, in the town next door, Argegno, there is a lovely bakery, a small fruit/vegetable store, and a small grocery store.
For supermarkets, we recommend the Bennet supermarket in Como, or a good mid-sized supermarket in Lenno, both about 15 minutes away.
Mon-Thurs 7.30 am to 9 am there is a food truck with bread, cheeses, cold cuts, etc.

We have compiled a thorough list of many restaurant recommendations in the area, which you will receive upon booking.

GETTING HERE:
The Milan airports are both 40 min away.
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND RENTING A CAR because public transportation options are few and far between. No Uber or taxis. There are limited dining and grocery options within walking distance.

WHAT TO DO:
- Ideal a starting point for visiting the entire Lake region, with dozens of pretty towns.
- It is very close to Laglio (George Clooney's Villa) and to Cernobbio, with their fine restaurants.
- Boat-tours stop at the world-famous villas and their botanical gardens.
- Day trips to Como and Milan with their art and culture, restaurants, and shopping (designer outlets, silk scarves, and ties) are a must.

Ideal for a couple

Lilia and Carmen were extremely responsive, the place was private and had the most amazing views. It was in close proximity to Como and other small towns around the lake. It was our first time staying in the area and we will be back again. Romantic, quaint, stunning views, accessible location, 10/10.

Chalet Lilia is simply the most beautiful place I have ever stayed in. I'm reticent to go into more detail, because I'd love to go back again sometime, and fear that it will be booked solid. Beyond the beauty, there is a sense of going back in time, but with the conveniences of today. The pictures don't lie: it's all that and more. Yes, there are a lot of steps, but it's certainly doable (we are a couple in our 60s and 70s). Lilia and Carmen are conscientious in swiftly handling any issues that may come up, and offer plentiful information and tips in order to optimally enjoy your stay. I think whoever stays here will feel very fortunate, as my husband and I certainly did! Thank you, Lilia and Carmen!

A fantastic place for a non-entitled traveler couple. A no-frills accommodation with a strong feeling of connectedness to the area and to history. The host made the logistics very easy. We really enjoyed our stay and will consider it in the future.

We recently stayed at Villa Lilia in Brienno, Lake Como. All reviews of the villa are totally correct! My wife and I were able to stay four wonderful nights. All the pictures in the listing at true and accurate. Lovely place with fabulous views looking across the lake at Nesso (from the bedroom balcony). The owner was "very" prompt in replying to our emails and questions. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Follow all the written directions from Lilla (after receiving your booking confirmation) and you can't make a mistake driving to Brienno. GPS works great. Also, I contacted the owner about boat rentals for Lake Como. Several options were provided. We prebooked our boat with the Turati Family and that experience was flawless. They are located very near by in the village of Argegno. Seeing the lake while on your private rental is a must! I will also be posting a review on their web site. www.rentaboat turati.com
