Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Val Mara

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 .

We have an excellent stay on the lake. Beautiful views and in a quieter area away from crowds!

Sarà was amazing start to finish, from being flexible with check in times to being amazing with local recommendations and even ensuring there was coffee around in abundance! Couldn’t have been more helpful and not only is she an amazing host she’s a fantastic local navigator. It’s worth all the stairs, trust us!

Die Casa Sarina ist sehr schön und ruhig gelegen und hat einen traumhaften Blick über den Luganer See. Im Dörfchen Carona gibt es einen kleinen Kiosk, der alles für den täglichen Bedarf zur Verfügung stellt. Für größere Einkäufe muss man allerdings über die Serpentinenstraße ins Tal fahren. Von der Unterkunft aus kann man entweder direkt zu Fuß loslaufen oder nach einer kurzen Fahrt mit dem Auto herrliche Spaziergänge durch Vico Morcote bis nach Morcote bzw. auf den Monte San Salvatore machen. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und wie durch den Vermieter beschrieben. Markus und Anna sind sehr liebevolle Gastgeber und haben uns mit vielen Tipps den Aufenthalt bereichert. Wir würden jederzeit wieder diese Unterkuft wählen.

Mon mari et moi avons eu le plaisir de séjourner pour la seconde fois dans ce logement. Ce fût à nouveau des vacances merveilleuses. C'est un havre de paix dans un lieu magnifique et calme. On s'y sent comme chez soi très rapidement. Tout est rapidement accessible à pied, en transports publics ou avec son propre véhicule. Beaucoup de possibilités de balades, visites et randonnées sont facilement rejoignables. Barbara est une hôte à l'écoute et attentionnée, encore merci à elle de nous avoir accueilli. Nous pensons déjà à notre prochaine venue...

Such a historic, peaceful and walkable place. Market, 3restaurants and boat dock close for boat tours. Eros and Daniel were some of most helpful and responsive hosts I have seen. They live a block away. Will always cherish sitting on lawn at dusk watching lake Como lights come on

Our stay was amazing! The host was incredibly attentive and responsive from the start. He helped with our luggage and toys were present for the kids to play with. Communication was seamless. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-tier Airbnb experience.

Trotz schlechten Wetters haben wir eine sehr entspannte Woche in diesem sehr idyllisch gelegenen gemütlichen Haus verbracht. Das Haus ist sorgfältig renoviert und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Lage ist einmalig: ganz allein auf einer Lichtung im Wald. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Stunning apartment! Beautiful decor and wonderful view. Erica met us and helped us feel right at home. We would have loved to stay longer and will return if ever given the chance!

Incredible views. Highly recommend renting a scooter to make commute up and down the hill much easier. 10/10 would stay here again.

Liebe Lisa, Lieber Roberto Danke für die schöne Zeit in Eurem Zuhause! Die Woche bei Euch konnten wir extrem geniessen, besonders weil das Wetter noch so gut mitgespielt hat und wir viel Zeit in dem prächtigen Garten mit der tollen Aussicht verbringen durften. Wir fühlten uns wie zuhause. Danke auch für die hilfsbereite und unkomplizierte Kommunikation! Das altehrwürdige Dorf Carona hat sehr viel Charme und ist ein Besuch wert! ❗Hinweis für Interessierte: Von der Wohnung aus hat man keinen Seeblick, was für Aufenthalte im Winter oder bei schlechtem Wetter daher beachtet werden sollte. Herzliche Grüsse Fritz & Elisabeth

Pleasant stay, very clear communication and apartment tidy as shown in the pictures. Complimentary coffee and snacks appreciated. Amazing views!

Our stay at Claudia’s was nothing short of fabulous - her home was a highlight of our two days in Como. We were so eager to enjoy her patio and view of the city / lake we opted to eat dinner at home both nights of our stay. The home was spacious, beautifully decorated, and Claudia gave us great recommendations to make our time the best possible.

Meine Partnerin und ich waren zwei Tage dort. Um uns einen verlängerten Besuch zu gewährleisten, passte Stefano die Check in-/out Zeiten an, sodass wir das Airbnb ein bisschen länger geniessen konnten. Die Lage ist traumhaft und Monique ist äusserst freundlich. Absolute Empfehlung!

The view from the apartment was absolutely stunning. We especially loved sitting out on the balcony watching all those enjoying the beautiful lake. Gandria is a lovely, historic, charming village with several lively restaurants to choose from and the Sentiero dell'olivo being an absolute must. Jonathan was extremely responsive and provide clear directions (with photos!) on how to access points of interest! We'd highly recommend.

Paolo est sympathique et réactif. La terrasse est grande, utilisable toute la journée (à l'ombre l'après-midi) et la vue est magnifique. Le logement est bien et agréable pour 2 personnes. Le lit est confortable. Les 200m à parcourir à pieds sont plats donc faciles. Quelques détails à noter : l'isolation acoustique est moyenne (on entend les sanitaires des autres logements le matin de bonne heure), le réfrigérateur a du mal à tenir le froid et la salle d'eau commence à montrer quelques signes d'usage (meuble sous lavabo et douche). En conclusion, le logement est très agréable mais peut-être un peu cher (c'est sans doute la région qui veut cela)

Alessandra a été proactive et nous a bien conseillé. Son appartement est très propre et bien rangé. Il offre tout ce qu’il faut pour un séjour, même prolongé (cuisine, terrasse, etc). L’endroit est très calme. Il préférable d’avoir son propre véhicule mais les transports publics sont aussi possible pour aller directement à Lugano ou Bellinzona. Nous recommandons vivement cet endroit pour un séjour au Tessin. Merci Alessandra!

Best way to describe this location is STUNNING! The views are breath taking - more beautiful in person than the photos! We loved our stay - hard to beat having morning coffee & evening wine surrounded by such beauty! The night view when the lights appear is as beautiful as the day view! A car was necessary but well worth it. David was a very responsive and helpful host & we would definitely stay again if we have that opportunity!

Enrica (AKA Kikka) is a delightful woman who cares about her guests and does everything to make them feel at home. She responded very quickly to any of our questions and needs. She had great suggestions for restaurants, activities and site seeing outings, all listed in an informative book on the kitchen table. The view from the room is magical, almost beyond description, as you look out on to Lake Como both day and especially night! My partner & I whole heartedly recommend you consider Enrica’s attic for you lodgings at Lake Como! Cameron June 2025

We had a wonderful stay! The condo is beautiful and the view was stunning! We loved sitting on the balcony each night. We also appreciated having a dryer. This space was very nice and accommodating. The location was very convenient to the train station, but it was further away than we realized from the coast. We wished it had been a touch closer to the main coastline. Overall we had a wonderful stay!

We were there for a family wedding which was nearby so was the perfect location. The building had been an old monastery which has been sympathetically and very tastefully renovated it was fantastic we had our own courtyard with loungers table and chairs, beautiful touches throughout can’t rate our stay highly enough 100%. What stood out was Luca himself he helped us enormously. We had a family dinner planned in the neighbouring town but found it impossible to get a taxi bearing in mind it was a Sunday and maybe not as many available even Luca tried but no luck so he took us in his car to the venue which I thought was amazing khe also helped to carry our luggage when we arrived and when we left very very helpful.5stars for the house and 6stars for the host.

Was immediately drawn to the charm of this place! Loved the location by the waterfall, bridge and boat landing. Loved the walk past the boat landing that had incredible views of the lake, the flavor and history of the town…I walked on the cobblestones all the way to the church. I recommend taking the hosts instructions on taking the bus from the train station to his place in Nesso. It was definitely fun to walk from the train station into Como downtown and eat lunch, but getting the bus from there to his place is very hectic and crazy. The buses fill up fast from there with all the Lakeside people! You will save time by walking back to the train station and getting the bus from there. We happened to be there on a holiday weekend the end of May and the buses were not reliable. And the lines were long. I recommend the boats, they are more reliable. But hint… when we went to Bellagio, they said to get in line a half an hour before your boat takes off..you need more time! At least 45.

This place was the perfect place to stay if you want a beautiful view of the lake and to be in a quiet neighbourhood. There was pros and cons with the location (cons- trouble finding a taxi to and from the train station and not much in close walking distance & pros- beautiful view, right beside the C30 bus stop) but if you’re up for adventure and fully able bodied it’s worth it! We bought some groceries in Como after spending a the day there and had dinner one night in, walked down the stairs by the bus stop to the lake level for dinner at Ristorante Vapore sul Lago di Como and spent a day at the Lido di Faggeto Miamilaryo, which was a beautiful beach club with good food and drinks. The house was everything we needed and the view had us speechless the whole time. The hosts were quick to respond and help when we had questions. We would highly recommend this stay!

Die Kommunikation auch schon im Vorfeld war sehr freundlich und die Anreise war somit einfach und entspannt. Wir wurden, als wir ankamen, ganz herzlich in Empfang genommen. Die Wohnung ist toll und wir fühlten uns sofort sehr wohl. Es ist alles durchdacht und fehlt an Nichts. Das habe ich bisher selten erlebt. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder und ich kann diesen Ort zu 100% weiterempfehlen.
