Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Oliveto Lario

It was a wonderful stay and the people in Nesso very friendly. The little shop nearby stocks everything we needed and the 'Sport' pizza restaurant was very good. Managing the stairs daily saved me from the need to go jogging. Nesso is special because there is no traffic noise although, if you are driving then the roads are narrow and need 100% attention. The ferries are really worth the fares, buses too. So many thanks and it will stay in our memory as a brilliant BnB

Thank Serenella for hosting us. The apartment was pristine, view was beautiful, basket was full of complimentary items. Anyone that needs some time to collect themselves and be away from civilizition and think things through, this is the spot! Thanks again .

Had a great stay at Olga's place, views and garden are spectacular and the house as listed so perfect for either a short or long stay. Olga was great at communicating. Steps down to the property are steep but doable with care. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great whilst we were there but under cover outside seating area and table helped with this. Would recommend 👍

This home is incredible. The view is stunning. But it is a decent hike up to the house. If you come by ferry it would take 30 mins from terminal to get to the home with many steps. Very challenging with a heavy suitcase. If you come by car it will take approximately 10-15 mins. Lots of stairs. Pack light if you’re able to. The home itself is over 3 levels by a spiral staircase. Bring light luggage if possible. The deck is so nice to spend time on. Lovely, memorable home with a friendly helpful host. Will never forget this beautiful place

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the unbeatable location of this home. Being directly on the lake, the views are nothing short of magical. Waking up in the morning and looking out over the water from the bedroom felt like something out of a dream — peaceful, serene, and impossibly beautiful. The lake was quite literally at our doorstep. The home itself was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and full of charm. Every little detail was taken care of, and we felt instantly at ease. A special shoutout to our host, who went above and beyond when we realized last minute that we had forgotten to include our mother-in-law as a guest. It was entirely our oversight, and yet the host was kind, understanding, and incredibly accommodating. That kind of graciousness makes all the difference when you’re traveling. We can’t say enough good things about this place — the comfort, the views, the hospitality. If you’re lucky enough to find availability here, book it. Can’t wait to return

The house has a fantastic location between the vineyards of Brissago. The architecture, the interior and the rooms are very beautiful and we liked them very much - we love puristic design. Many details in the house and around it make the house something very special. When you sit on the terrace in the evening, grill, the grilling chirps and you look at the lake with a glass of wine - then this atmosphere is something unique - which you cannot buy. Eva - the house fairy - is super friendly and helpful and gave us many tips. Mille Grazie for the wonderful stay at Casa Largo. We will be happy to come back!

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

Difficult to access but worth it as the place is well designed, very quiet and private. The outdoor area is very enjoyable. Great place for a quiet stay.

We had the pleasure of spending a few unforgettable days at Katie’s beautiful apartment in Ronco sopra Ascona. The view is absolutely breathtaking – Lake Maggiore stretches out at your feet, with Ascona and the Brissago Island in full view, framed by the surrounding mountains. The long hours of sunshine on the spacious terrace were a true highlight. The apartment is nice furnished, very well maintained, and offers plenty of space with its three bedrooms – ideal for families or small groups. Everything was clean and perfectly prepared – you can tell Katie is a thoughtful and caring host. The location is peaceful, yet just a short drive from Ascona and the lake. The combination of privacy, stunning views, and comfort makes this place a real gem. We’d love to come back – thank you, Katie!

Stefano has been a great host. He was always available to help me and offer suggestions. His apartment is very nice, well equipped and in a very attactive, historical secion of Ascona. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Thanks Stefano!

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.

Klod was very welcoming & provided us with lots of details about the area & recommendations. The apartment is in a beautiful location with amazing views & was so peaceful after a days exploring. It is a 30 min walk downhill into town so not for those less able although there is a bus. Loved our time there

4 nights didn’t feel enough and we left with such a heavy heart. Laura’s place is breathtaking and pictures don’t do it any justice. We were so sad to leave the tranquil and peaceful villa. I’ve never stayed anywhere like this and look forward to going back.

Incredible apartment, well equipped, very attentive host, short walk to the bakery and bus stop, beautiful balcony where we spent every evening, I would recommend this place to everyone!

My mom in law and I had to stay a night at Lidia’s place and we wished we could have stayed longer as the place was lovely and homely. The village is quiet and pretty. We really liked the kitchen and the position of the apartment. Everything was provided even a toothbrush with tootpaste. Kitchen was fully equipped and with condiments etc for cooking. Wifi works perfectly. Communication is great. Lidia was very helpful and she even helped us to find a taxi. We highly recommend her place. 🌻 Thank you so much Lidia 🙏

We are returning guests to House of Alma, and we returned for a reason! This airbnb is a hidden gem, in the perfect location of Lake Como, ideal for reaching surrounding areas by boat, foot, car and bus letting you explore this amazing place. Sala Comacina is a quieter town away from the tourist crowds but you are never far from the action. The accommodation has everything you need (with garage if needed), giving you impeccable views of the lake (so close you can see the fish) I will miss sitting, relaxing on the balcony. Next door is a picture perfect restaurant with stunning cuisine, a must if visiting, also other great eateries in the area or close by in neighbouring towns. Great communication throughout, we were met by Anna again who is always helpful and contactable if there are any problems. Highly recommend!! Thank you Tom & Tabitha

Four of us stayed here for only a couple days and were incredibly impressed by the spectacular view of the lake and the surroundings. It looked like out of a travel magazine. The unit itself was quite nice with total upgrades everywhere which were in top condition. If you are driving yourself up the hill to the home be prepared for some fun driving adventures on twisting turning curves that are somewhat narrow. We always had a driver. We could see that it takes some experience to get good at it.

This is a beautiful apartment in a prime location that has a parking spot, but you don't need a car. The apartment is a very short walk to the lake ferry service, the town square and a C10 bus stop. You can walk to Menaggio Piazza Roma Bus station in under 10 minutes if you want to take the bus to Lugano, Switzerland. The apartment is beautiful, with historic decor and modern conveniences and a lovely terrace. You can hear some street noises, but the apartment is very private. Roxana is very easy to communicate with. Thank you Roxana! We enjoyed our stay!

We stayed with 7 architects in this beautiful house. It exceeded our high expectations. The house and the surroundings are incredibly beautiful. It was a pleasure to stay there for 2 nights.

Beautiful apartment with a great privat garden, perfect for morning coffees and relaxation. It took only few minutes to walk down to Menaggio's restaurants and shops and it was easy to visit the near by cities by the ferry. Loved our stay, hope to come back some day.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful villa in Bellagio! The house was spacious, spotless, and fully equipped with everything our family needed for a comfortable stay. The views from the villa were absolutely stunning — a perfect backdrop to our mornings and evenings. The location was ideal: just a short drive to grocery stores, downtown Bellagio, and the lake, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. The hosts were responsive and made sure everything was ready for our arrival. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in such a charming town. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

My only regret is that we can’t give 6 stars on the evaluation and that since we want to come back it hurts me to advertise it to others!! Frankly, a part from the place which is a little jewel, the calmness of the surroundings, the spectacular lake Como, what we appreciated the most is the kindness and proactivity of our hosts. They truly embody the ideal concept of what Airbnb should always be. Thanks to the whole family

Wonderful private and gorgeous retreat high up on the hillside. RENT A CAR. We did, but only last minute and initially had planned to uber to and from the Airbnb both for arrival and departure as well as just day trips; this would have been a mistake, it is 12-14 minutes up the hill from the town. If you have a rental car and are comfortable driving up steep roads, it is a fun adventure and the views make it well worth the trek. The space itself is second to none. Gorgeous pool with million dollar views, several levels of terraces with sun chairs, outdoor eating areas, and the home itself is inviting and comfortable.

Marco's villa is beautiful. Well decorated and plenty of rooms. Located right across the lake, nice place for morning and afternoon walk. You need to walk uphill to get to the villa, and the bedrooms are located upstairs. It might be difficult for the elderly. The Lido2.0 restaurant Marco recommended is a must try.
