We had a great time at this property! Manuela was so sweet and responsive. The apartment was well stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed having a washing machine in the apartment too! The apartment comes with its own parking spot in the garage which we loved. The views were incredible, so much better than the photos, we didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend this property, enjoy your stay at gorgeous Lake Como!

My husband and I stayed here for a week and it was great. Barbara and Manuela were so kind and helpful leading up to the trip and during check in. My husband and I usually prefer hotels when we travel but we wanted to be able to cook our own meals and the kitchen here was great. The views from every room are absolutely breathtaking. The location is amazing as well. There is a bodega directly next to the apartment building and a great little restaurant directly across the street. The only note I’ll add is that the one air conditioning unit in the living area is not quite strong enough to keep all the bedrooms cool and the mattresses are quite thin. These weren’t necessarily negatives more so just different than what we’re used to in the States. All in all a great stay and would highly recommend!

Great place on Lake Como. It had everything we needed. Parking, elevator, spices, stocked kitchen. Manuela the manager and Barbara the owner were great to work with as well. My daughter loved the little studio and it gave her a place to have time on her own and still be with us. I think you need a car but there is great parking.

We absolutely loved our stay. The views were even more breathtaking than the photos. The home was very clean and well stocked. We really liked having the separate studio. It was very convieniently located to the Ferry Stop which was a great way to see the lake. We also hired a private boat with a driver for a few hours, he was on the list of recomendations. Barbara and Manuela were amazing. Check in and check out were a breeze. Highly recommend !

Amazing family vacation

The property is in a fantastic location and close to restaurants and local cafe. Almost all rooms have access to a balcony with breathtaking views of Lake Como. There is plenty of space and access to an indoor pool and outdoor sunning terrace. In addition, the location provides easy access for a walk in lake swim. The local assistant, Manuela, made the check in process simple and provided great restaurant and experience recommendations. Our family enjoyed our time together and we hope to return soon!

Lovely appartment on a fantastic location

clean apartment with magnificent view on to lake Como. We also loved the location as it is a very quiet area - however, you can easily find a buzz in either Laglio or Carate. If you go in summertime, just keep in mind that the apartment on the top floor and has no airco - it gets hot - just enjoy the breeze from the lake ;-)

Nice Apt with breathtaking view

This is a very nice place to stay if you are looking for an apartment. There was one air conditioner in the dining room . There was also a fan. The bottle of wine given as a gift for our stay was appreciated. Plenty of space and the view was stunning.

Magical Escape

We absolutely loved our time here. Barbara and Manuela were super helpful. Gorgeous apt, amazing views, very comfortable. Surrounding area peaceful and breathtaking. The space was well laid out for a family of four, with two kids and grandparents. The pool was perfect for the kids. You can jump in the lake from a few access pts across the street or down the road. We all loved doing that! The kitchen was well stocked.

An Absolute Masterclass in Lake Como Hospitality: Perfection from Start to Finish! (10/10 — Beyond Exceptional)If you are looking for a magical, postcard-perfect escape on Lake Como, look no further. Our extended stay at this breathtaking property was nothing short of spectacular. The description does not lie: having 5 lakefront balconies means you are completely immersed in the beauty of the lake, with sweeping, unforgettable water views greeting you from literally every single room.While the villa itself is an absolute dream, what truly elevated our experience from a wonderful vacation to an unforgettable journey was the incredible hospitality of our host, Barbara, and her wonderful assistant, Manuela.From the moment we began planning our stay, Barbara was the epitome of grace, responsiveness, and warmth. Every detail was meticulously thought out. Once on the ground in Italy, Manuela provided true white-glove, concierge-level support. She was attentive, highly professional, and deeply knowledgeable, ensuring we had everything we needed to feel completely at home & ready to enjoy Urio.It is no surprise at all that this property is in the top 10% of guest reviews—it deserves every bit of praise and more. Thank you, Barbara and Manuela, for your unmatched kindness, discretion, and dedication to making our stay so seamless and beautiful. We left a piece of our hearts on those balconies and cannot wait to return! Grazie mille, TheresaA true 10 out of 10.

Perfect location for us!

Carate Urio is a quieter location on Lake Como. The ferry is approx one kilometre away, the bus stops outside the door. If you choose to have a quiet day in the local neighbourhood, turn left and walk the one kilometre to the butcher shop/cafe. You’ll need to pass George’s place. Or turn right 400m to a bar/cafe, a grocery store and a good restaurant. But no need to travel that far - right next door is a great restaurant/pizza place. We throughly enjoyed our two week stay. The views from the apartment are truly amazing.

I rented the studio at Vi...

I rented the studio at Vista Lago in June 2009. The location, right on Lake Como, could not be better. Also, I had a car and the underground parking was great. Studio has a great view over the lake, clean and reasonably well supplied. There were a couple of items lacking which I mentioned to Barbara, and I am sure she go right on them. Her staff person, Silvana, was excellent. Overall, a splendid experience. I happily recommend the studio for people who like independent living. I got to shop locally, made breakfast in every day and then took off from this amazing location.

Manuela was amazing- really helpful. We had a great time! Great location especially for a 5K run each morning.We ate at the Osteria over the road on 4 occasions-pretty good. We tried Ristorante Il Filo d'Olio once (also good). Lagolosi Pasticceria excellent for morning pastries.We found Via Santa Marta better to navigate out of Carate than Via Regina for our Minivan (more passing places).Parcheggio a pagamento at Tremezzo was reliable for parkingaccess to the ferries.AirCon unit in dining room kept entire flat pretty cool at night. Flat very well equiped. Plenty of space. Enjoyed sitting out on the (small) verandas).Many days out included Milan (parked at Como train station), Lugano, Splash e Spa Tamaro (water park), Brunate lighthouse, Orrido (Bellano) plus all the usual stuff. Flat very comfortable but not cheap, but that's the price you pay for close proximity to the lake/Como, etc. Would highly recommend!

Amazing views. Very clean and had all the staples we needed. The host was responsive and the manager was very nice. Check in was easy. Loved the area. Lake Como is beautiful! We did not have a car, so we ended up walking everywhere, which can be a little tricky with the narrow roads. We tried to figure out the bus schedules, maybe had we stayed longer we would have figured that out better - they seemed to be running late often. Quaint and quiet area. Great restaurant next door and a few good places up in Laglio and down near the Urio ferry docks. The only thing that could have been better was the air conditioner. We had all three bedrooms full and had to sleep with the doors open to the hallway to try to get some air in the rooms. It was pretty warm in the evenings. Overall though, a lovely stay and we would return. Also - it should be mentioned there aren’t any grocery stores nearby. We did find a mini market that had waters and sodas and snacks, but any bigger grocery runs need to be done in the larger cities.

Lake Como - Carate Urio

The view of Lake Como from this lodging is breathtaking!!! We really enjoyed the stay. We rent a SUV and were very grateful that there were 2 parking spaces. The host, Manuela was very patient and waiting for our late arrival. Her recommendations of the nearby restaurants are awesome! We loved La Locanda! Check in and out process is very easy. The place is quiet, safe and easy to get in and out. However, you do need a car to get to the public ferry stations (e.g., Cadenabbia) and large supermarket unless you hire private boating services. If you are not driving a very small car, I suggest not taking via Santa Marta to get to this lodging as GPS indicated, but taking SS34 north and then Via Vecchia Regina back to Carate Urio. Also, you will pass George Clooney's Villa! Locals will tell you all about him. We used public Ferry from Cadenabbia to cross the lake to Bellagio and Varenna. Go early especially during the weekend. Although this lodging is a little pricey to us, it is worthy for us!

Fabulous Lake Como Experience

My family stayed for two weeks. We loved the property and the location in Carate Urio. We got to know the surroundings of this beautiful town on Lake Como. The property is absolutely as beautiful as presented in the VRBO photos. The views from every room are breathtaking and five balconies are very unique to have. There were four excellent, very different restaurants within walking distance, all with lovely settings on the lake. One was literally next door with outdoor seating on the lake as well as street and indoor seating. There was also a great cafe for coffee and pastries in walking distance and a tiny little food store up a steep switchback road. Manuela is absolutely the best, most responsive Property Manager we could hope for. She made check-in and check-out so easy. The Wi-Fi is excellent and Netflix, Prime and AppleTV were all available. The pool and exercise room delighted family members. We had two parking spaces inside the garage which doesn’t seem like a big deal until you see how hard it is to get parking on the street. It only took 22 minutes to drive into Como, and 11minutes to get to Argegno where you can get the ferry to Varenna, or Bellagio or Tremezzo and more. You really need a car to maximize your outings. While the C10 and C20 buses run pass the villa to desirable destinations, the schedule is virtually impossible to decipher especially if you don’t speak Italian. And they never ran on time and they didn’t run often in September.
