Beautiful, lakeside property - would definitely stay there again.
We really enjoyed our stay at Lake Como and had a great holiday. The location is stunning and the property was perfect for our family. Deborah was very hospitable and a pleasure to deal with.
Deborah was a wonderful host who did everything she could to be helpful. We enjoyed the villa and had a beautiful view of the lake from several different rooms, as well as the patio. A car was a must, as she recommended. The small town of Cremia is lovely, but for food and other sightseeing, you need transportation. I would recommend this rental.
We had a very enjoyable stay at the villa. The rooms are spacious and clean and the kitchen has everything you need apart from an oven. There is also a lot of outdoor space with stunning views of the lake. The villa is a short walk from a couple of bars and restaurants.
It was so amazing to have the 4km promenade right out front for walks to great cafes and restaurants. Views from every room. Easy parking. Great grocery nearby. Good proximity to activities in Dongo, Menaggio, and the Ferry. The furniture has been updated since the photos were taken - it seats 6 comfortably in the main room now. We also appreciated the host being helpful in securing a recommendation when we had an unexpected medical need.
Beautiful house in a beautiful location. Great walks right along the lakeshore. Only caveat is the steep walkway down to the house. If you have trouble with walking this can be a challenge. For most people this is a great choice!!
We had a great week in this lovely holiday home. It was delightful being lakeside and watching the lake and the weather role in. Cremia is quiet but there are good restaurants nearby. We hired a boat for the day in Dongo only 10 mins away by car. The nearest mini market is a 5 min drive and the nearest big supermarket is 20 mins. That was the only downside really.
This was a wonderful property but beware of the steps to get into the property from the driveway. It was NOT very well lit and there are a lot of steps to carry your suitcases down and then back up. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain while we were there and steps were very slippery and had to use our phone cameras to see.
When we arrived we couldn't believe our eyes. We were directly facing the Lake & to our left we could see snow on the Swiss Alps. The steps down to the house meant it wasn't disabled friendly but that didn't affect us. We found everything comfortable but needed instructions for how to get some heating. Other than that it was wonderful.

We needed a place that had to check a lot of boxes including air conditioning and a parking spot. But this villa beat the basics by a lot. The terrific balconies and patio spaces are great for sunbathers as they take in the views. You can even jump right into the lake in front of the house.
The location is about an hour north of Como itself but in easy reach of Menaggio (20 minutes). If you're comfortable driving on narrow Italian roads it's a good central point. We even drove around the north of the lake and you can reach Varenna that way in about an hour. Our daughter can't do boats so this was great.
There are two locations within easy walking distance for a quick meal and a grocery store is a short drive north to stock the kitchen.
You really only have one neighbor too.
The host Deborah was great checking us in and giving us good directions. Can not recommend highly enough.
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit am Comersee. Das Haus war exakt wie beschrieben. Lage und Ausstattung genau richtig fĂŒr einen Urlaub mit erwachsenen Kindern!
Bei Fragen hat Deborah uns sofort geholfen.
Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Sehr schönes Objekt in sensationeller Lage. Ausstattung etwas spartanisch und dem Objekt nicht angepasst. Schlafzimmer und BĂ€der sehr schön und wir wĂŒrden gerne wieder kommen.
Ganz am See mt Traumausblick. Toller Uferweg. Gute location fĂŒr standuppaddeling. Sehr schöne FrĂŒhstĂŒck und Dinner-Restaurants in Fussreichweite. Haus sehr sauber , Vermieter sehr nett und sehr zuvorkommend. Nur zu empfehlen. Werden wieder kommen.
Perfekte Lage mit traumhaftem Ausblick. Einrichtung etwas spartanisch und ohne groĂe AtmosphĂ€re. Leute die gerne Kochen und Backen haben keinen Backofen, es fehlen Auflagen fĂŒr StĂŒhle und Liegen, das Geschirr könnte reichhaltiger sein.
Lage zur StraĂe und See sind hervorragend. Objekt wie beschrieben. Die Sauberkeit lĂ€sst noch Luft nach oben. Notwendige Erhaltungmassnahmen sind erkennbar.
This house is a little under loved. There is no oven and no air con and it is not lavishly or stylishly decorated but the outside space more than makes up for it. Lots of places to sit, eat, lie And swim outside. A great walk from the rear of the property takes you to the next village and a great bakery/ little genetal store/pizza place and restaurant. Views are incredible. We loved out stay.
we loved our stay at this property..the vistas,,the walk right near the lake shall be with us for a long time.
.deborah,was most helpful,,infact she came to guide us at around 10..00 in the nite ,,when we lost our way to the property..
the house is well stocked with all needs and is far superior to the description of the property..on website..
we certainly shall visit again..
Deborah's Lake Como property is perfect - the panoramic view from the living room is almost impossible to take your eyes off, and the view gets better when you step out onto one of the three outdoor areas. The interior decor is very modern, and the property was perfectly clean with good quality furniture. There are a couple of nice restaurants within walking distance, and it's a great base from which to explore the lakes and the wider area. I didn't want to leave, and can't wait to go back!
We stayed 14 days in this villa by the waterside at lake Como, and we have to say this villa and location exceeded Our expectations. We fully enjoyed Our Holiday in this marvelous surroundings.
Great thanks to both Giuseppe and you Deborah for Your service minded attitude and great hospitality.

A remarkable location! We loved our family time right on the lake.
This place is one of the most beautiful spots on the planet. The house itself was plenty spacious for six people and three generations. It was very warm, so we loved and depended on being able to swim right in front of the house. We swam several times of day! Perhaps the most awesome thing about this location is its proximity to the walking promenade, which is right in front of the house and leads to more than five restaurants, so we didnât really have to drive for meals. We are a hiking family and found two great hikes, one out of varenna and another along the Sanagra river. For the latter get a map from the tourist info office in the main square of Mennagio.
We had a wonderful week in Cremia. The house is very nice and clean with enough space for a family with kids. Deborah was very friendly and helpful!
Thanks Deborah - we will definitely be returning!
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in der Villa de Como, das Haus liegt direkt am Comer See mit einem atemberaubenden Ausblick auf die Berge. Das Haus ist sehr comfortabel und gut ausgestattet, jedoch nur durch Treppen zugÀnglich. Das nÀchste LebensmittelgeschÀft liegt ca. 2 km entfernt. Die Betreuung durch Deborah war ausgezeichnet. Mille grazie! (Dayse, Ana Alice, Otto und Fabio).

My name is Deborah and I live in Menaggio, on Lake Como, where I grew up. I'm one of the locals! My father purchased this villa some years ago and after fully renovation, we decided to rent it on a short term base for the people who wish to spend a nice and relaxing holiday in this beautiful part of the world.
