a beautiful & relaxing

The location of this apartment was absolutely perfect! It was spacious and easily accommodated 6 guests. The views were breathtaking, it is a 3 minute walk to the lake, a 2 minute walk to Stone House Restaurant (a superb & delicious restaurant, we ate here for almost every meal during our stay!) and also a 2 minute walk to the nearest store. The apartment is very clean and very cozy! It has everything one could possibly need, it feels like home away from home. The view from the balcony was my absolute favorite to have coffee every morning and take in the views. The kitchen & dining room area was very spacious, even for 6 people! Gina & Eduardo are very gracious, kind and welcoming hosts! We really enjoyed our stay here and loved this location. I look forward to coming back again!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!

We feel so lucky that we got to spend the month of July in this amazing apartment and get to know Gina "Bruna" and her partner, Andres. The apartment itself is just perfect -- clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything you need. It has THREE balconies -- each with beautiful views of Lake Como. We spent hours and hours sitting on the balconies and marveling at the lake and the magical village of Lezzeno below. The location is great, with a bus stop just around the corner, and the ferry about a 10- to 15-minute walk. The lake is just steps away, and we enjoyed having picnics at the lake and dipping in the incredibly clean and cool water on hot evenings. Also -- we really enjoyed the Stone House restaurant which is about a one-minute walk from the apartment and the Aurora Restaurant, which is less than a 10-minute walk. Even better than all of this was the gracious hosts! Bruna and Andres always went above and beyond to help us with all of our needs -- even picking up groceries and wine for us when they were in Como. We also enjoyed some dinners out that were just fantastic. We now consider them great friends and can't wait to visit them in Lezzeno in the future! We HIGHLY recommend staying here -- you won't regret it!

Appartement confortable et très bien situé

Gina est très sympathique. On trouve tout ce dont on a besoin dans l’appartement, la literie est de bonne qualité. 2 salles de bain c’est pratique. Tout est impeccablement propre. Les restaurants à quelques minutes à pied sont d’un bon rapport qualité prix, deux d’entre eux ont une vue magnifique sur le lac. A 10mn de Bellagio et 1/2 heure de Côme par une très belle route de montagne. On peux se rendre en bateau un peu partout autour du lac à partir du petit port de Lezzeno. Après une journée de tourisme c’est très agréable de se reposer dans cet appartement.

About the host

Hosted by Gina Vaccani

I’m Gina Vaccani and I'm retired.
I was born in Lezzeno and I live in Lezzeno with my boyfriend, my father and his brother.
I started renting my apartments to know new people and to learn and practice English.
I take care personally of the bookings and the check-in/check-out.
My family and I are proud of our apartments and we are committed to responding to any need of our guests.

Why they chose this property

My property was passed down through the generations. It's a characteristic house of the Como Lake. My grandparents had a local restaurant in this house and so downstairs there is a large cellar where the grandparents produced wine for their customers. My father was fisherman and he catched fishes for his parents. My father and uncle were also carpenters and they made windows and doors in this village and so in Lezzeno everybody know them.

What makes this property unique

One of the few houses in the village with the private parking very close.
In fact the property can be reached by car.

It is located in a quiet area.

The apartment is surrounded by 3 balconies, many windows and French window that allow a 360 degree view of Lake Como and the mountains and lots of brightness.

The house where there is the "Ocra apartment" is surrounded on 2 sides by a garden with a kiwi gazebo, olive trees, beeches and azaleas.
The garden is equipped with a table, chairs and sun loungers for sunbathing or relaxing.

A few steps away are a grocery shop, a bar and a free beach called "Il Salice" where you can sunbathe and take a refreshing swim in the calm waters of Lake Como.

A short distance away are the bus stop that connects Como with Bellagio, restaurants, the European Center for water skiing and wakeboarding.

The Lake Como invites you to take boat trips to reach famous places such as Bellagio, Varenna, Cadenabbia, Lenno known for their ancient villas with splendid gardens, for the medieval and Renaissance churches, for the winding alleys with suggestive views of the lake.
The pier from where the boats leave is 1 kilometer away, it is located in the center of the my village where there are also the pharmacy, the clinics of 2 doctors, the post office, the main church, the bank and the town hall.

The mountain with its hinterland invites to go for walks, hikes, trekking, but also bicycle or mountain bike tours.

The hospitality and the owner are always present.
