Wonderful Holiday House!
We had an absolutely fantastic holiday at Villa La Corte for the last 2 weeks in August. Having booked it 11 months previously, we had a long time to look forward to our stay, and it was everything we had hoped for and more.
We arrived after a 3 day drive through France, Germany and over the Splugen pass from Switzerland (which was an amazing experience, and one which I would recommend if you you have a head for heights and want to experience a spectacular road!). When we arrived we were delighted to find the house was every bit as beautiful and perfect as the pictures suggested.
As mentioned by previous reviewers, Claudia and Beppe were lovely hosts - they made us feel so welcome and did everything possible to ensure we enjoyed our stay throughout the 2 weeks. The food treats, wine and cold beers in the fridge were very welcome after a long drive when we arrived!
If the house is lovely, the gardens are even better - beautifully maintained, with a fantastic swimming pool, which kept remarkably clean. And the views surrounding the house were just incredible - everywhere you look it is beautiful and spectacular, with the views changing throughout the day with the rising and setting of the sun and different weather conditions. We will miss having a morning cup of tea on the patio, watching the sun rise over Monte Legnone (which feels like it's at the end of the garden!)
Colico itself is very nice - perhaps not pretty like Varenna or Bellagio, but we enjoyed the harbour area. Huge supermarket a 10 min drive away was useful, and we loved the bread from the local bakery 5 mins walk away. Lake Como itself is so beautiful and a perfect place to spend a holiday.
Overall we loved our time at Villa La Corte and would recommend it to anyone... although we want to book again, so hope it doesn't become too popular :-)
