An amazing villa on Lake Como
We recently rented the Lenno villa for one week as part of a 50th birthday celebration. Our stay was nothing short of magical. From the location, the pristine grounds, the comfortable decor, the breathtaking views, the friendly and helpful management and the overall value, you’d be hard pressed to find a better option on Lake Como. This villa checks all the boxes.
The villa is located in the village of Lenno, which is somewhat smaller than than the big three touristy areas of Bellagio, Menaggio, and Varenna. For our group, that was ok since we wanted to have the experience of living like Italians at our own lakefront villa. And we weren’t disappointed. Once inside the gated grounds of the villa, your vacation truly begins. The landscaping and architecture are spectacular. The lush green grass leads down to the lakefront balustrade and overlooks the most beautiful vista. To the right, you can just see Bellagio, to the left is Villa del Balbianello (probably the most visited villa on the lake and walkable from the villa), and all surrounded by soaring Alpine mountains. Oh, and there’s a pristinely sparkling pool right at your doorstep as if you needed more!
Inside the villa is very comfortable but besides sleeping, most of our time was spent either eating/drinking on the outside patio, relaxing on the grounds in the chaise lounges, or touring the lake.
Walking into the town of Lenno is just a short 10 minutes via a “greenway” path that keeps you off the main road. There are several excellent restaurants, a fabulous gelato shop, and the main ferry stop which makes getting to the other areas of the lake a breeze. We also rented a boat for two days from the shop that is literally next door to the villa (talk about convenient!).
Also just have to mention that the management provided amazing service and helped with several special requests. They helped arrange a private chef to prepare dinner for us one night, they arranged airport transfers, and they booked dinner for us at an amazing restaurant that otherwise we would not have found. Upon our arrival we were met by Lorenzo who accompanied us to the villa and made sure we had everything we needed before handing us the keys. From start to finish, they were professional in every way.
I know there are some benefits to staying in a hotel, but for our group the Lenno Villa was everything we could have hoped for and more. It was a perfect vacation!
