“Is five stars, but a temporary three!”

Reviewed 20 Aug 2015

This is a great place, my family had a great time. Mohammed and Eric were so helpful and kind. Mohammed was great with the luggage and Eric was so kind in showing us different places to visit. So why a three (temporary)? As the name suggests, this is Lake views, my confirmation e-mail uses the words 'incredible waterfront' and 'lake views'. As you can see the view from the living room was a wall! The view from upstairs was the hedge, and only by looking to the left was the view of the lake. Eric re-assured me that he was unaware of the website missing this villetta, and the e-mail has the wrong picture attached. Would I have booked it if I had known this was the view? Not sure. Nevertheless, it is still a great place to visit, and the hospitality was outstanding. So back to five stars once the websites are updated. If you book confirm that there is a view of the lake.

Response from the manager Ciao Peter, Thank you for your very nice review. We do have views from the master bedroom of the lake and are sorry that the villa you had wanted originally had booked the day before we had heard back from you. At the time I had let you know we only had one villetta available and apologize for any inconvenience.When the photographer took the lat pictures, he forgot to take the new picture of Paradiso but we will update it right away. Thank you for pointing it out. It will certainly be fixed right away and hop you then change your three star rating as it is a bit harsh considering you had such a lovely stay. Since you did promise to change your review to 5 stars when we change the picture, we will do that as soon as we can and we slow down a bit as we have been full all summer. We remenber having to let you know that we only had one villa available and that it was Villetta Paradiso. Promise when you come the next time, we will do something very special for you. Your happiness is of greatest importance to us. We tried out best to offer you the best stay possible with only one villa left. We promise to do our best for you. We promise to do something special for you to make it up to you.We will put the new pictures in which are almost like Villetta Tranquillita decor. The L side of the palazzo is quieter and less hot in the summer which is nice. The decor is beautiful and the view from the balcony of the master bedroom lovely. Thank you again for deciding to raise the three star rating to five star as soon as I add the pictures of the inside, It is a lovely villetta too, Thank you again Peter for your honesty. We will fix this little error then we will wait for your 5 star change as promised as three star is really unfair and extremely harsh for such a lovely place and your family loved us and had a wonderful stay. We are worth more than a tiny 3 we are worth a 5. We earn our ratings and we try our best for all out guests. I will also send you back 100 Euros back for your small upset. Just want you to be happy. if you we a bit upset gving us a 4 and we work it up to a 5 star with the pictures. of 16. We cn do tht Please send me you address where you would like the 100.00 euros off for you upset. We do hope this helps. We lived in Villa Paradiso for 6 months and loved the villetta, it was private and quiet as well as cooler in the summer. Great private Honeymoon spot. Anyway, I will give you 100.00 Euros back and we you come next time, I promise I will put you right in the front. Just give us some notice before booking so that we will have the best spot for you, Thank you for sharing you feelings. I will have the new pics done by next week and you 100. 00 euros sent back to you. When you receive that , would you please change the rating as promised, as low ratings really hurt our business even though you had a wonderful stay. Low ratings destroy businesses. You promised to raise the rating to 5 stars when I add the pictures and offer a discount to you, When the professional photographer came to take the pictures he was tired and omitted #16 but it has the same decor as # 11. Please do not be so harsh, we offered excellent service and tried so hard to have you have a great stay. We will add the pictures fro 3 16 too. No problem. Thank you for coming, we really enjoyed having you and your family as guests. You have a wonderful family. Please keep your word to raise the rating.Where would you like your discount sent? We'll keep our word and hope you keep yours. Hope to have you back some day. Thanks for the feedback. And we will take care of it right away. :) Eric and Robin Ciao from Como!

We stayed in Villa Paradiso for 6 fantastic days in June. The views from the second floor bedroom are to die for! The spiral staicase might be a little difficult for some to manuver. Cute, functional kitchen- enough "tools" to allow you to make a meal or two there. We took the ferry everywhere, quick walk from the property. I regret that we never "jumped in the lake" - beach front property with easy access! The journey from the street to the property was an adventure... I've never seen my husband white knuckle it but he did there! Eric was a gracious host, couldn't have been more accommodating & the staff was so helpful (I think I might have just left my luggage if we'd had to get it back to the parking lot ourselves!

Response from the manager Ciao Wendi, Thank you for your kind review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us at the Lake Como Beach Resort and look forward to your return. Ciao from Como! Eric, Robin and Jiselle

Well maintained lake front property with well equipped two floor apartments with patio furniture on ground floor and balcony with breath taking view of Lake Como. Sun deck and boat mooring for summer fun. Owners are very friendly and will go out of their way to make your stay as best as possible. Driveway from main the road to the private parking lot is an experience by itself

It was very colorful and happy having guests such as yourselves who tr4uly enjoy life to the fullest. Thank you for rubbing that off on everyone you touched.

Situated right on the shore of Lake Como at the base of a cliff, the resort is a delightful assemblage of individual apartments. The owners and staff could not be more accomodating and friendly. The facilities are good and very clean however our apartment had a spiral staircase which could be awkward to negotiate for some older people. There is a small area for sunbathing and for preparing your own barbeque and a jetty from where you can swim in the lake. There is a local shop for provisions and a good local restaurant all within a short walk. It is perfectly located for exploring the lake and its surroundings, being about 20mins drive from Como along a winding road with spectacular views. Alternatively there is a nearby ferry station with services to Como or Belagio if you do not want to drive. All in all a very pleasant place and we would certainly consider staying there again. Be prepared for a vertiginous slope to reach the car park though!

“A wonderful place to enjoy Lake Como and to make new friends!”

The setting on Lake Como is fabulous! We spent so much time enjoying the 'Lido" and outdoor space that we were hardly in our room! All of the staff were very helpful and accommodating! The apartment is furnished nicely with a fully-equipped kitchen. The walk to and from the resort is a bit strenuous , but well worth the exercise! We hope to return to this"magical" place on the Lake!!

My wife, three kids, and me recently stayed in Lake Como Beach Resort for a week. Eric and Robin were great hosts willing to help out with whatever we needed. We had a great time and enjoyed the beach, dock, sun, views, walking to the local restaurants and grocery store, ferry excursions to the various towns on the lake, and even a local festival. Also, we had a great time hanging out with the other people at the resort whom we found to be all very friendly and a lot of fun. It was a great choice for our family.

We enjoyed a lovely week at Lake Como Beach Resort. The location, on the shores of Lake Como, is stunning and we enjoyed beautiful swimming in the Lake from early morning to late at night. Our Villetta was very well equipped, beautifully presented and had a lovely balcony with Lake views. The service provided by Eric and Robin is second to none and they went out of their way to ensure we had a holiday to remember.We were able to explore the area by boat and car and did some great walks in the surrounding hills including an ascent of Monte San Primo (1682 metres) the highest mountain in the area.

“Excellent Waterfront Resort and accommodation”

Reviewed 9 Feb 2013

My husband and I had a wonderful experience in October of 2012 while staying at the Lake Como Beach Resort. The villetta was very tastefully newly designer furnished with the little extra fine touches, to make it feel like a real home and not a rental. It was very cozy and comfortable and nothing was missed. The views of the lake were amazing and the property sits in a park like setting. We really liked the fact we had a private space to keep our car on the property. The property was safe and secure and the weather perfect in October. We rented a motorboat which was delivered for our use to the Lcbr dock, then they picked up the boat when finished. Eric the wonderful owner and our host was tremendous, he helped set up all our restaurant reservations and day trips around the lake. Rent a seaplane which we did, to see the lakes from the air. Took a ride on the Bernina Express train for the day to San Moritz - beautiful. Went to Lugano, Switzerland on a day trip and to Bergamo - silk capitol as well as Milan. It was all great fun. Our favorite restaurants were Salice Blu in Bellagio and Bella Vista in Veleso. Loved grilling on the bbq from the meats we bought at the local butchers to grill over the lake . Everything about this property was very upscale without the upscale snootiness. The owners were very kind, real and honest They made us feel very well taken care of and pampered. We even rented a motorboat and went to visit the Villa Balbienello- James Bond Villa and had lunch near the Isola Comacina in Lenno and had the most delicious Lemon Ravioli. Really enjoyed the Billicus restaurant in Bellagio as well as the shopping which I thought was reasonable. We will be certainly planning another trip to Como and this beautiful little resort. We felt like family in a warm inviting setting. It could not have felt more perfect. Susan Lex - USa
