“Absolutely sensational” We were two couples in our 60's wanting a great self contained villa,with great views, close to amenities, but not in amongst the crowds. Villa dei Fiori, surpassed all of our expectations. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms, a great kitchen, a balcony and an outdoor area 'to die for'. Luca and Mary, were gracious hosts, generous with the food and drink, which we did not expect, for your arrival. We liked the property, because it felt like a home. The location and views were perfect for what we wanted.

“Beautifully furnished and equipped apartment in a wonderful loca” Fantastic views and a great location. The apartment is incredibly well furnished and equipped; the owner has thought of everything. Our daughter found the sofa bed very comfortable. Great selection of books and Dvds. A short drive to either Como or Bellagio. The restaurant "Vapore" is directly below; excellent service and very reasonable prices.

“Perfect views & comfort on Lake Como” Believe it or not, the photos don't do it justice -- the views and house are even more beautiful. It's also perfectly situated for visiting Bellagio, and all of the wonderful villas and towns nearby -- that is, if you can tear yourself away from the views. Monkia, the manager, was attentive and informative and warm -- the restaurant and touring recommendations were terrific. SO much nicer than staying in a hotel -- even if a hotel had THOSE VIEWS.

“Gorgeous apartment; Great location.” We stayed with our 4 year old in this lovely, light and spacious apartment for two weeks and it was so relaxing I had to use my mobile to remind myself what day it was! The apartment is as good looking as the pictures and with a small boy the washing machine, with washing powder and softener all provided, was extremely useful. A small point: if you (or your kids) need your room to be dark in order to sleep then bring something to cover the large windows because the louvres on the shutters are fixed unlike other places we have stayed. It is a great location, easy to get a bus or ferry into Como, or ferry up to other beautiful villages on the lake like Bellagio or to the cable car in argegno; and from a practical point of view it was easy to walk to the large supermarket or into the town for the lovely bakeries and coffee shops. If you like chocolate ice cream try the gelato fondente at "Ronchi Milano" in Como on Via Garibaldi - it's so dark it's almost black and the espresso was one of the best too. The lido was too cold this early in the season and although we braved it once even with high daytime temperatures June is too early to swim regularly (and it wasn't that clean when we were there). Joy gave us loads of information about many of these things before we arrived and was extremely helpful, friendly and communicative as was Ruth who met us at the apartment and gave us a very useful and informative quick tour of the town.

“Great location at Como Lake !” A wonderful apartment just a short drive from Bellagio. The apartment is nicely furnished and well equipped and it has a wonderful view of the lake. With 2 bedrooms it's ideal for more people or a family. We plan to go back there, as we really liked the apartment and what it offered. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing Italian getaway.

“Extraordinary value for a truly memorable experience.” Casa Alla Piana was outstanding. It is on the eastern edge of the small medieval village of Suria above Bellagio. It is on the middle and upper floor in the eastern end of a three story old stone building with high ceilings and vaulted bedrooms. Stained wood and centuries old natural stone abound. The donkey trails leading down from the village were a highlight for me. Window surrounds and the entrance balcony are single large solid slabs of crystalline stone - amazing. Inside is a surprise - the fit out is very modern with natural wood window frames and stairs - stained not painted. Coupled with the fabulous views, high ceilings and space this all adds up to a very ethereal experience. Best views are from the bedrooms (upstairs) which face north. The upstairs bathroom has a view to the east. Southerly views are from the upstairs landing and entrance door. The kitchen living room, the only room downstairs, has a door sized window looking across the neighbors garden to the north. Casa Alla Piana is well set up - everything worked well and we found all we needed in the apartment. There is no on-site WiFi at Casa Alla Piana but we were able to use a phone as a mobile WiFi hotspot. Across the lane way to the south is a private garden for exclusive use of guests at Casa Alla Piana. We stayed at the start of autumn. In the garden there were still sufficient vegetables (beans, zucchini, aubergine, tomato, broccoli) and herbs (parsley, sage, fennel) to go with our salmon, mussels, gorgonzola (one Euro per 100gm) or other treats. We shopped at the supermarket at the bottom of the nearest donkey trail. Note the opening hours on your first visit - we had 8:30am to 7:30pm, with afternoon siesta (12:30 to 15:30), Sunday afternoon and Monday closed. We did not meet Antonella or Pino but sister Lory and parents helped us settle in and showed us the start of the two main donkey trails leading down from hilltop Suria. The hidden garage is in a very modern, scrupulously clean complex, of ten or more garages ingeniously totally concealed under this ancient stone village. Once parked we didn’t use the car and walked or used the ferries. It is worth paying for a multi-day pass through the Metzi gardens as coupled with the middle donkey trail, it is not only a pleasant walk but probably the easiest way to get to and from central Bellagio. If you stay at Casa Alla Piana and plan to walk down the donkey trails you need a minimum level of fitness and map use. Casa Alla Piana was very quiet. There is a bit of an influx over the weekend period to gardens surrounding Casa Alla Piana (just like the garden attached to Casa Alla Piana) as they are used for large family meal gatherings – I guess by Milano apartment dwellers who seem to revel getting outdoors among the verdant greenery, clear blue sky and stone wall and lake backdrops. As best views are from the bedrooms upstairs (waist height windows), and not from the kitchen-dining-sitting room downstairs, you may want to construe a possie upstairs from what is available, for your reading, computing or idle hours whilst gazing at the view. Also upstairs gave a far superior phone reception for internet use. The best possible internet reception was to Blu-tak the phone (would not want it to slide off) onto the upstairs outside solid stone north facing window ledge which is slightly sloping. At the price paid, 250 Euro for four nights, including garage, Casa Alla Piana clearly deserves its five out of five rating. I am comfortable in going further to say that Casa Alla Piana ranks as luxury accommodation for the fit and map savvy guest who can connect their own internet. It is easy to write a lot about Casa Alla Piana – it was a wonderful experience.

About Lake Como
In the heart of the Lombardy region of Italy, at the base of the Rhaetian Alps, lies Lake Como with the beautiful city of Bellagio on its central peninsula. Once a fishing village, later the destination for the luxurious summer estates of Italian aristocrats and dignitaries under Napoleon, Bellagio's legendary grace draws visitors from all over the world.
Along the shores of Lake Como in both directions from the center, there are quaint villages where fishermen haul in their catches and cats lounge in the sun. When you visit the area, spend some time exploring the towns of Como and Lecco. Stroll the colorful market areas. Sample the legendary food and wine of Lombardy. Visit the churches, historic castles and country estates with magnificent gardens. And of course, enjoy the lake. There are plenty of charter tours and sunset champagne cruises that can take you out on the water and around Isola Comacina, Lake Como's only island.
Here are a few additional suggestions as you plan your trip:
- Relax in La Punta Spartivento: Visit this serene and lovely park in Bellagio City. The Swiss Alps rise up in the distance and reflect perfectly on the tranquil surface of Lake Como.
- See the Vezio Castle: Hike up the hillside to the Castello di Vezio from the town of Varenna. Take in the spectacular views of the lake from above and time your visit for the falconry show.
- Explore the gardens of the Melzi Villa: Built in 1808, the structure and gardens of this estate provide one of Lombardy's most enchanting architectural sites. Once a family residence for one of Napolean's dukes, this neo-classical villa has been restored and its gardens have been brought back to life.
- Take an Italian cooking class: Once you've sampled the culinary treasures of the Lombardy region in a local restaurant, you may want to take a course and learn how to reproduce these traditional flavors on your own.
- Play on the lake: Rent a boat and glide out on the water. Go windsurfing, swim, or just relax on the tranquil beaches of Domaso or Gravedona.
- Visit the St. James Cathedral: This Bellagio City structure is a classic example of the Romanesque churches of Lombardy.
Whatever time of year you visit, you'll have no trouble finding a place to stay in any of the towns and villages that border the lake. Find an elegant condo in Bellagio or a lakeside villa on the shores of Domaso. You can also easily find a cabin in the hills further inland as well.
