WOW, is the word I'd use to describe our recent visit to The Junior Villa Leoni. We travelled to Ossuccio to celebrate my sister's wedding, and Villa Leoni made their special day, and our stay, perfect.
We arrived at the villa one day after the bride and groom-to-be. On arrival, we were more than impressed by the beautiful accommodation. The Junior Villa is very contemporary and beautifully presented. During our stay, fresh flowers filled the vases, it was spotlessly clean and the facilities (especially the two large bathrooms) were fantastic. It is clear that a lot of thought has gone into the design, with no expense spared.
Almost immediately, we met the wonderful team at the villa. We were provided with drinks and refreshments in a professional, yet incredibly friendly way. Alessandro, Chantal and Francesca all made our stay unforgettable and we couldn't have asked for more attentive hosts. They made us feel welcome straight away and it was clear that nothing would be too much trouble (and this really was the case).
On the day of the wedding, Francesca and Chantal helped with all last minute preparations. They photographed us getting ready, made us a light lunch, entertained the boys (setting up the PlayStation and organising their things for the sauna and hot tub) and Alessandro even gave us a lift to the chapel in his car!
Breakfast was also delicious! Each day, we enjoyed a continental breakfast and admired the breathtaking views over the lake. The team were more than happy to work around our plans for the day and it was great not to be restricted to set meal times.
My partner (a big Leicester City FC fan) was concerned that he was not going to get to watch one of the biggest matches of the season whilst there, so asked if there was anywhere local that would be showing it. Concerned that he would miss it, Francesca and the team subscribed to the FOX Sports channel, allowing him to watch it in the comfort of the villa. Just amazing!
I cannot thank the team at Villa Leoni enough. We came to Lake Como for a very special reason and they made sure that we left wanting to come back very soon. A wonderful location, villa and people - we cannot wait to return and use the pool that is currently under construction. This place surpassed all expectations and, if you're planning a trip to Lake Como, I would definitely recommend staying here.
Thank you.
