Lovely villa, right on the lake, but it's in between major towns and there aren't places to eat, and there isn't a grocery store or pharmacy in Brienno. The other towns are close by car or bus, but you can't walk to them. Taxi services are basically non-existent in Lake Como and the bus service doesn't always run on-time, so if you rent this property be sure to rent a car as well! That's our only complaint, which says a lot about how great the property itself was!

Beautiful property directly on the water in the small community of Brienno. Ferry access and good dining options near by. The views are spectacular from most rooms. Bathrooms are nice. Had issues with getting the AC to work but other than the first day, temperatures were mild. The are installing a lift which will help with luggage. Getting the luggage back up to the car was a struggle. Very nice kitchen. Could use some basic amenities such as salt/pepper and other basic spices, dish towels. Nice washer and dryer but the dryer wasn't working and the repairman didn't show up as planned. Overall, it is a great place and I would love the opportunity to stay there again.

House was nice and the view was amazing. Had issues with Air conditioning and dryer not working. Plan on renting a car, taxis won't come up to get you, and if you can talk them into taking you up there from Como they will charge you a lot, and once you are there, they won't come and get you, bus will be your only option. Only 2 restaurants close by to walk to. If you rent a car, it is a great spot to get around from. Looks like they are adding a dedicated parking spot and an elevator to get down to house which will be much better than dragging suitcases down to house. Dock was nice and swimming in lake was amazing!

The photos don’t do this property justice and they looks amazing as is. Seriously, heaven on earth. From the second you check-in, the city seems a distant memory. Clean, well kept, great amenities and hidden gems such as the outdoor shower and BBQ make this one of the best properties I’ve stayed in. Would highly recommend.

Dreamy Waterfront Villa
Dreamy Waterfront Villa
Gorgeous spacious villa, perfect spot to make memories for our extended family group of 9. Lake views from every room, indoor & outdoor seating, plenty of room to gather together and have space to yourself. Private dock was perfect for swimming and as a pickup spot for boat tours. Washer/dryer very convenient. Good basics for cooking, including a nice BBQ and even an icemaker, but lack of simple staple items (salt & pepper, olive oil, hand towels, dish soap) made food prep a challenge.

Enchanting stay

This is probably the most beautiful lake house I have ever stayed in. It is modern, expansive and the floating jetty is just a dream - would highly recommend getting a boat. Wonderful hosts and couldn’t bring myself to leave! Will be back again soon - thank you!

Great location, perfect for boat
Great location, perfect for boat
This property is perfectly located allowing excellent access from Como to Menaggio by car or boat. The property has added a floating dock which is great for swimming from and accommodates a rental boat quite nicely. The renovations to the property were very nicely done but the cleanliness did not match up. The property has ample space in the main house and a guest house to accommodate larger groups. We did not see the inside of the guest house but I would assume similar renovations were completed. There is a a foundation problem that they shored up while we were there and will hopefully be repaired soon. Assuming that is fixed and a change of cleaning services occur, we would definitely stay here again.
