Charming Lake Como Retreat – Breathtaking Views between Como and Bellagio.

My house is in the historical centre of Pognana Lario, around 5 to 8 min from the main road, 20 min. by car from Como city centre as well as 20 min. by car from Bellagio. The house has a large terrace overlooking the lake, the mountains, and magnificent sunsets. With a surface area of 120 sqm, the house dates from the year 1900 and has recently been renovated. It has three floors, two bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a separate dining room, and a living room.

The living and dining room: Here you will find a large L-shaped sofa and a 50-inch television with mostly Italian TV channels. However, all the series and blockbusters are in English. The separate dining room has a table seating 4. The dining room also boasts a vaulted ceiling and a walkway to the terrace. From there, you can access the terrace by a steep stairway. Note: Children are not allowed on these stairs or the walkway without adult supervision.

The bedrooms and bathrooms: Two separate bedrooms are located on the lowest level of the house. The master bedroom has a queen-size bed and an en suite bathroom with a wooden tub. This bedroom also has direct access to a small terrace, where you can enjoy your morning coffee. In the master bedroom, the original stone floor has been preserved. The second bedroom has two single beds and has been completely redone.

The kitchen: The fully equipped modern kitchen provides a lot of space for you to cook up a nice meal. If you’re in a hurry, there’s also is a microwave at your disposal.

✅ coffee machine
✅ an electric kettle
✅ a large refrigerator
✅ a toaster
✅ a dishwasher
✅ an oven
✅ an induction stove.

The main terrace: The large rooftop terrace provides a stunning, almost unobstructed 360-degree view of the surrounding area with a great view of the lake, the mountains, and beautiful sunsets. And if you are a fan: Yes, you can see the villa Oleandra, the home of the Clooneys.

The beach: There is a public beach only 10 minutes from the house on foot. The access to the beach, Lido di Quarzano, is right next to the parking lot belonging to “Bar Sonia” on the main road. You will see the stairs going down from there. Kindly only use the beach towels for your visit to the beach. The beach towels are provided in each room. As my guests, you’ll have access to all rooms but one. The third bedroom is private, as I use the house at least once a month.

This is a self service house with keyless access. If you require any assistance you can contact me via your booking chat or on my mobile phone.

🎒 Free luggage transportation: The standard rental fee includes complimentary luggage transport with a motorized cart upon arrival and departure, from the main road to the house and vice versa.

✅ between 3 PM and 7 PM on the day of arrival
✅ until 12 PM on the day of departure

Amazing View
Clean and modern. Amazing view from the piazza of Lake Como. Extremely attentive host. Garage space great for small car. The walk up to the house is well worth the view and the serenity of the hillside. Def consult the hosts Instagram page for directions. Will stay again!

Enchanting View of Lake Como
We have really enjoyed our stay at this property and our communications with the owner who took the time to answer quickly my questions before and during our stay. The roof top terrace of the house offers a 180 degrees view of Lake Como from high up. I spent every day on it and got up as soon as the sunrise to admire the view with a cappuccino, my phone for pictures and a book. It is nicely furnished inside and the outdoor spaces, and you have a small terrace just outside the primary bedroom. The kitchen is modern, nice appliances with view of Lake Como, beautiful dining room and fireplace. Lots of natural light. They have a lot of stairs in this region, avoid high heels and big suitcases as you need to go up to access the house. We made the mistake to rent a small SUV and could not park in the garage. They have several public parking sites in town, we were always able to find a free parking spot. They have public transportation and we will consider in a future stay to take advantage of this option. You can buy your food and wine in Pognana Lario. The neighbors are quiet and friendly as we got help to figure out our way through these ancient stones as we were going up the stairs at our arrival. You really get the feeling of leaving and experiencing beautiful Italy. The distance to Como is 14 km but takes 30 minutes by car as the road is narrow, about the same for Bellagio.

Lovely Property
Really lovely property, close to Lake Como. Excellently furnished and fully equipped. A bit of a hike from the road - up a number of cobbled steps... but, I am 60 years old and could manage it easily enough - 'though not as quickly as my 21 year old son - but we wouldn't get the beautiful views from the terrace without the short up-hill hike - so well worth it IMO. There are a few places to park - but the closer ones were generally full, so a 10-15 minute walk along the road was usually required.. Overall a really excellent place and experience.

Ruhe pur
Wir waren eine Woche im wunderschönen, mit viel Stil und Geschmack eingerichteten Haus in Pognana Lario. Der abenteuerliche Weg zum Haus ist teils anstrengend, aber der Ausblick und die Unterkunft sind alle Mühe wert. Vielen Dank für die entspannte und schöne Zeit!!

Sehr sauberes und gepflegtes Haus. Toller und hilfreicher Kontakt mit dem Vermieter. Parkplatzsituation hat sich als etwas schwieriger erwiesen.

Agréable séjour
Le séjour s'est parfaitement déroulé. La maison est rès bien équipée, récemment rénovée, confortable et spacieuse. Terrasse très agréable avec vue magnifique et dégagée sur le lac. Échanges rapides et complets avec le propriétaire. Seul le stationnement à proximité de la maison est un peu compliqué en haute saison si vous êtes avec une voiture trop grande pour le garage. Mais le problème de stationnement est général à toute la région du lac en été. En tous cas, nous garderons de très bons souvenirs de notre séjour. pour voiture
