Beautiful Villa

Allesandra went above and beyond to care for us during our stay, so many extras we did not expect. We did not see a hot tub as vrbo advertised but we did not want one. The city tax has gone up to 3 euro per person per day not 2 euro per person per day as vrbo lists. We loved staying here and would definitely stay here again. This beautiful villa is close to all the shops and restaurants.

Beautiful property in Como, with easy access to the train station and all the restaurants, grocery store, and shopping. The host was amazing, offering a lot of recommendations and also met us after our train delay late to help us check in. We are a VRBO host as well and happy to see other properties go above and beyond like we try to.

A great place to stay in Como, Italy

This beautiful apartment is close to everything in old Como. Restaurants, shops, food store, the duomo, gelato (!), the central train station. Be prepared to walk the quiet, safe streets and enjoy the town.

Beautiful stay in Como

Wow!!! I don’t have the words to describe how perfect our stay was! The space is stunning and was the perfect location for us to stay for the nights before and after our wedding in a nearby villa. Alessandra was a phenomenal host and she made sure to communicate all details about parking, check-in, etc. and was incredibly kind. We absolutely loved our stay here- it was nicer than many 5-star resorts. I definitely recommend and hope we get to stay here again on our next visit to Como!

Bellissimo

My wife and I were very impressed with Alessandra's apartment, having been in so many others over the years in Italy. Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen and bathrooms were completely stocked and the robes and slippers were like an upscale hotel. The furniture was very comfortable . Alessandra is very well organized, with tons of info on everything around Como. Lots of good restaurants and shopping close by. Grazie mille per tutti Alessandra Tom & Nancy

The best apartment of our entire trip

Alessandra has thought of everything. The apartment itself is beautiful and in a great location. Walk out the door and you are straight into the narrow streets of Como with cute shops and cafes all in walking distance. The apartment is stocked with all the extras you might need.... pasta, sauce and even a panettone and bottle of wine!!!! We loved our time here and will be back soon hopefully. Alessandra was also very kind in helping us get medical attention for our daughter who had some ear problems. I give our stay 10 out of 10 and highly recommend this apartment and the lovely people who own it. Grazie Alessandra ... stai molto gentile See you again soon. X

Historical Sparkling Gem in Central Como, Italy

We had the recent pleasure of staying at "The Secret Garden", a luxurious and beautifully decorated modernized apartment, situated in the historical center of Como, Italy. Shopping, restaurants and markets are all just steps away and the ferries running to all points on Lake Como are also just a few blocks away as well. We also set out to explore with an easy 30 minute drive and day trip to Lake Lugano, Switzerland for sight seeing and lunch, which was a nice outing. We had dinner in the apartment after shopping in a nearby market and enjoyed having our breakfast in the bright and lovely kitchen. Our hosts were so kind as to have several breakfast items and coffee for convenience as well. I really enjoyed the sparkling bubbly water as it was quite refreshing after a day out on the lake. Another discovery nearby was the patisserie a stones throw from the apartment. The croissants and cappuccinos were an absolute treat for us, not to mention the chocolate shop. On our final night we found a romantic spot for a special dinner at Cibooooh. This lovely home will be one that we fondly remember, for the attention to detail, the pristine, sparkling marble floors and chandeliers and all the comforts of home. Our hosts were so gracious and we thank you for opening your lovely home to us and other travelers as it offered us a truly unique Italian experience. Alessandra and Ricardo we thank you!

Lake Como

The place is absolutely beautiful. It is in a great location of walking streets. We had a car and we parked in a garage several blocks away. Had we to do over we would have taken the train up from Milan and not driven. Everything you will want to do you can do by walking. The owners were great! We would stay there again if we ever go back.

Very good stay

Positives: Very caring owner. Good welcome. Good communication. Great location. Tons of extras such as teas, coffees, toiletries. Beautifully furnished. Very modern. Negatives: Air conditioning by portable units that had been removed at time of stay. There were fans but we were hot at night during our mid September stay. Can hear footsteps from upstairs due to the old structure of building. Overall: We had a great stay and definitely would return.
