This was a great place to stay. The property on the lake is amazing. Francesco is a wonderful host. Easy to work with ..can arrange everything from a chef, boat trips, tours to St. Moritz ...and event dinner at his favorite restaurant in Aregano. Can't say enough about this Villa. We had (3) couples and so much more enjoyable than being in a hotel.
Lake Como is the most beautiful lake I have ever seen, and this property was the most incredible I have ever stayed at. Just incredible all around. The host was helpful and thoughtful. Just a delight.

Our group of 8 had a wonderful stay at the villa. The property and grounds were pristine. We had the chef prepare our dinners and would highly recommend, he did an excellent job! We also had an unforgettable 6 hour private boat tour of the lake, it's a must do if you stay at the villa! The host Francesco went above and beyond to make our stay an amazing one, and we look forward to staying here on our next trip to Lake Como. Five stars and two thumbs up for this property and host!
Amazing family vacation in charming town on lake como!
We can’t say enough good things about this house and the host! It’s the perfect house for a family with young adult children and their significant others. The chef made a memorable first night with an elaborate dinner on the patio overlooking the lake. Francesco made sure we had everything we needed and even bought food for our first breakfast. His boat tour of the lake and knowledge of the area were highlights! I would recoimend this property without hesitation!
I dreamed of staying at this villa for two years and brought three friends here to celebrate my retirement. The home, property and panoramic views are unique and stunning and surpassed all expectations.The host, Francesco, and his assistant, Chica, respond quickly to questions and requests. We took a beautiful lake tour in Francesco’s boat. I hope to return some day!
This villa vacation is one that will stay forever in my memory .. the most fantastic location on Lake Como with the most perfect of hosts who was helpful from beginning to end and helped make a milestone birthday celebration memorable and fun.Was difficult even leaving the villa every day as the view there was hard to top. It is just a short boat ride to celebrity homes and I would still prefer the location of this one for privacy and pure views!Don’t stall - Book it. Life is short and we are worth the occasional splurge. This one is 100% worth it!
This property has it all. The location is spectacular, like being in a postcard. Francesco is the best host we have ever met. The amount of essentials provided allowed us to settle in very comfortably. Francesco even organised deliveries to theVilla from local restaurants
Look no further. This Lake Como villa was a dream! Host, Francesco’s hospitality was above and beyond! The villa is everything the photos show & more! The views are spectacular & town of Argegno is so quaint! Umberto prepared the most delicious birthday dinner with the help of Claudio. Must do! Paolo’s boat tour of the lake was so wonderful, with stops at Bellagio & Varenna! We can’t wait for our return! Ciao Francesco, until next time!!
**A Magical Stay on Lake Como!**Our stay at Francesco’s beautiful house on Lake Como was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Francesco was the perfect host—warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. He took the time to explain every detail of the house, making us feel right at home.We didn’t have to worry about transportation at all, as everything was arranged for us. Francesco organized a private boat ride on the lake, which was an absolute highlight of our trip. He even set up a personal chef for us, so we could enjoy delicious, authentic meals right at the house.Every morning, we woke up to a delightful surprise: breakfast wrapped like a gift, waiting for us on the outside table. It was such a thoughtful touch and made our mornings extra special.The house itself is stunning, with breathtaking views and all the comforts you could wish for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t recommend this place—and Francesco as a host—highly recommend!!
Villa la ruga exceeded our expectations. It is spacious private and tranquil on a beautiful part of Lake Como. Argegno is a brisk and slightly challenging 10 minute walk away and it is friendly and welcoming with afresh bar La Motta for evening cocktails and
We enjoyed a six night family and friends vacation. We especially enjoyed Francesco’s gracious hospitality and sparkling personality. Francesco showed us around Lake Como on his boat, and was very helpful in making other reservations and arrangements. The property was spectacular with an expensive lake front. We look forward to our next visit.
My family and I stayed at Francesco Villa and it was truly amazing. The place itself is breathtaking on the lake and it was absolutely spotless. We had all the amenities we needed and Francesco was an incredible host He got reservations for us at various restaurants and we also did a day with his boat which he was our skipper . He was so informative of Lake Como and we had a wonderful time. We truly can not say enough about his place. Absolutely beautiful. We hope to be back again
The villa is fantastic and Francesco very kindness. The day with him on the lake was great. He took the time to explain us all the villas strories.
What is better to discover all of this splendors by boat !
From before you arrive, you know this is going to be something special. Francesco displays a master class in hosting with a Villa that is second to none. Beautifully presented, clean, tidy, activities and a sneaky little wine cellar to boot. Magnificent location, easy to get around. To say it is perfect is an understatement
Family of 7 adults stayed for 3 days. The house was exactly as posted. Beautiful, clean and perfect.
Francesco is a great host and person. Always smiling and helpful and accommodating. I could not imagine staying anywhere else while in Como. We hope to come back again. You must stay here if you are traveling to Como.
Use Francesco private chef at the house and boat taxi. It made for the most memorable vacation and experience for our family.
Dream property, excellent location!! Everything is as described and even better. Bacci ball in the yard and ping pong in the basement! Our boys had so much fun playing. Host is amazing. Responds to everything promptly, very helpful in planning. We ended up having two dinners prepared by his personal chef! So much delicious food and lovely people. The kitchen/frig was stocked with snacks and breakfast food to hold us over for the entire stay. Lovely place to relax and enjoy the view. Easy access to the town and ferry. We would stay here again if back in Como! Wine cellar was also fun to explore and find some delicious wines to try.
My siblings and their spouses (total of 8) stayed at this beautiful villa. I can't say enough nice things about this villa but importantly, Francesco made our visit exceptional! He became our 'go to' person for everything - including transportation throughout Lake Cuomo, to/from airports and a personal boat tour on the lake on his vintage boat. We did the boat tour the next day after arrival and became quite familiar with the towns we wanted to go visit. One day, after a long day of touring one of the quaint villages, Chef Umberto came to the villa and had a delicious dinner ready for us. This home is worth your while. We were not disappointed. Thank you, Francesco!!
First, I’d like to say how much we enjoyed getting to know Francesco. He’s the best host you could hope for. A very positive, bright man who set the tone for the stay. He helped arrange for the private chef, Umberto, who catered to everyone’s request and dietary need. Francesco came the next morning with Cornetti for our family and friends to enjoy.The property is impeccable with perfectly groomed lawns, amazing views, and a great location within walking distance to the local town of Argegno. We drove Francesco’s boat around the lake to see all of the sights, including Varenna, Bellagio, and the beautiful Villas surrounding the area.Would visit again - 6 out of 5 stars.
Spectacular lakefront villa! Convenient to everything while in a peaceful, local town. Spotless and comfortable, with gorgeous grounds perfect for hanging out and playing games (baci ball and ping pong!) What especially sets this property apart is the host, Francesco. Francesco was available at all times to help with transportation, logistics, and reservations. He even offers tours of the lake on his gorgeous boat (highly recommend). This architecturally interesting villa and experience is a MUST in Como! Thank you for everything, Francesco!!
We had the most incredible week with our family of 7 adults at Francesco’s Villa La Ruga directly on Lake Como. We enjoyed so many things about the house including morning coffee on the patio, evening bocce tournaments, a wonderful dinner cooked by Chef Umberto, a wonderful boat tour of Lake Como with Francesco, and much more. Francesco is an incredible host. He even provided some groceries to start our week along with pastries on the first morning. Wonderful!
Francesco’s property was amazing. The views from every room were spectacular. Francesco was the best host we have ever had at a VRBO. He took us on a 6-hour tour of the lake in his boat, which was very comfortable. We also had his chef come in one evening to cook for us. Ample amount of food was amazing. I highly recommend both the boat and chef…well worth it! Francesco also came through with a driver one day when we had our driver cancel. We could not have had a better stay! If you are on the fence, book it!
