Casa Lumaca

Nice and quiet place.

Access.

Incredibly charming B&B on the hill directly above Lake Como. The room was perfect for the two of us and the garden where breakfast was served each morning is so beautiful

Nothing

Everything was perfect! The proprietor has such incredible attention to detail in decor and guest service! I have travelled the world and stayed in so many places but I feel Casa Lumaca is extra special! I highly recommend the host and property!

Breakfast in the garden was lovely

The room itself was charming, but unfortunately no view

We had a fantastic stay at Casa Lumaca in Lake Como! The B&B is beautiful and peaceful, with lovely rooms and stunning views. What truly stood out was Marina’s incredible hospitality—she was so helpful, kind, and thoughtful throughout our visit. She made us feel completely at home. We can’t wait to come back!

Nothing :)

The breakfast was one of the best we have ever had. All fresh and unique things every day. Beautiful setting and relaxing way to start the day. Loved it!

Wouldn't change anything.

The sheets , breakfast . Peace

It’s a walk ! Keeps you fit though :-)

Super clean, tastefully remodeled B&B. Super spacious. Beautiful garden. It was extremely hot when we were here and the room AC worked perfectly. We looked forward to breakfast every morning - delicious perfectly ripe fruit cups…. Great restaurant recommendations - we visited 3 on their list. All were superior and beautiful settings. Super detailed and thoughtful about making sure you understood where to park your car. It was a very close by parking lot and did not pose a challenge for our group.

Because of the walk into the property needed and the need to climb stairs, I would not recommend for anyone not mobile.

Marina has done so well to preserve this property. The chic decor makes it feel authentic. Also the views from the garden are stunning!

Great location, nice decoration, great breakfast. Close to the Tremezzo ferry. Great restaurant recommendations.

No kettle and mugs in the room, no drinking water or glasses provided.

Beautifully restored old home. Read all reviews about the location. Free parking is 300 meters uphill and no lift, we did not find these were any problem. Short walk to the ferry (20 minutes).

Eggs cooked to order and a very nice variety of pastries, fresh fruit, and attentive hostess :)

Cute place up in the hills. The room was good size with all of the basics and the breakfast did not disappoint.

Unless you have a car, this is not the most convenient location. There are comments that it’s a 20 minute walk from the boat port but no mention to it being mostly uphill and the short cut is mostly cobblestone. This made for a rather unwelcome introduction to the property.

Incredible in every possible way. The location is perfect - very close to the ferry port (from where you can easily get to Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio, even Como) and bus stop, yet super quiet during nights so you sleep like a baby. Every road and path leading to Casa Lumaca is absolutely beautiful so even just strolling around is an unforgettable experience. Marina is an excellent host, super attentive to her guests, warm and elegant at the same time, she makes you feel at home (and it just so happens that this house is like a five-star castle;)) and you just don’t want to leave. Breakfasts are 10/10, super tasty and every day there was a homemade cake made by Marina herself. Cakes were to die for, just wow. This place is magical, we wish we could stay longer.

Everything was perfect, nothing to complain about.

A charming place where a contemporary tourist meets the history of this place. Marina took care of every detail, from elegant bedding, beautifully scented towels, to a delicious breakfast served on elegant tableware.

Amazing and beautiful place with peaceful garden, super tasty breakfast and lovely hosts. The bed is amazing with orthopedic matress will make you sleep like a baby ;) Marina and her daughter were very helpful during our stay. The place is super clean and smells lovely. A true highlight of our elopment trip to Italy! We would love to come back!

Very nice place with perfect location.

Beautiful, well-preserved old building. Nice garden. Modern bathroom with spacious shower. Good bed.

The room was very small, certainly for the price. There’s little storage space for your stuff & luggage. Also the room was cold as the heater automatically turned off during the night. The shutters didn’t close and there are no curtains so the sunlight wakes you up in the morning. Free parking isn’t guaranteed as it’s dependent on availability at a nearby public parking space. The hostess wasn’t unfriendly per se but did have a somewhat distant/cold attitude about her, it’s hard to explain. You really feel like you’re a guest in her house rather than a guest at a hotel. Ultimately the value for money just wasn’t great - while the property is nice and has some clear positives the price was just too high for what you get (especially when you consider it was off-season)

Large, comfortable room and bathroom. Nice bed & bedding. Historic architecture, elegant decoration. Short 5-min walk to main street, lake. Good recommendations for local restaurants. Nice breakfast and very pretty outdoor patio area for eating.

The shower is very nice, but its floor is very slippery. The hotel was hard to find; its “street address” is actually a foot path, so our car’s GPS couldn’t find it and our phone’s GPS lead us to a spot on the hill way above the hotel. Although the host sent us a picture of the sign posted on the road to alert us in advance, unfortunately that did not help. The little hotel sign is tiny and the foot path sign is obscured by leaves. Fortunately, the host, Marina, was very responsive and was able to send her location to us and then met us in the nearest parking lot. I recommend that the hotel update its instructions to help guests. They could mention that the best place to unload luggage is in the temporary parking area at the intersection of Via Ugo Ricci and Via Monte Crocione.

Amazing property and perfect host who took the time to discuss with her guests and share her tips and recommendations. The quadruple bedroom was very comfortable and the garden was just a relaxing haven. The breakfast was also very tasty and accommodating for hungry guests. Overall, great base to visit all the various sightseeings around Lake Como. Would warmly recommend!

The breakfast was fantastic! Marina has lovingly renovated this beautiful building and the garden is spectacular. Marina and her staff go out of their way to provide a safe, clean and peaceful environment. I loved that is a bit removed from the tourist areas and in a very peaceful residential area. Woke up to the sounds of very happy birds :). Beautiful walk to the lake to and from the Casa. Would highly recommend!

You must be prepared to walk a bit from the parking lot to the Casa. It is fine if you are physically able but not as accessible for those with any kind of mobility issues.

Marina was a wonderful host- very attentive and communicative. She gave us great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. The breakfast was amazing!

Only negative was that the walk up to the B&B was a bit steep - only a problem when we had all of our luggage. But we did know this from the description of the property- very accurate!

Such a special and unique property full of character!

Nothing!

Beautifully designed and curated

Parking is a minor challenge, but quite possible

The old building was lovely. It was beautifully renovated to the original style. The house has a lot of character which adds to its uniqueness.

We had great difficulty finding the house as the satellite navigation took up to the wrong place. As we were approaching the house, we sent the owner a message to say we couldn’t find the location. The owner rang us to inquire where we were. She seemed very irritated with us that we couldn’t find our way to the property. When we eventually found our way to the tiny car park near the house, we still had difficulty. In short, it’s not clear why simple instructions are not given to reach this property. From the main road, turn left or right as per the sat nav, the road veers to the right at the top of the hill. Go to the little stop sign and turn right and you get to a small roundabout with an olive tree. Park briefly in this car park. The house can be reached via a path (walking only) immediately opposite this car park. The owner did not make this clear. The signage is also just terrible, a very small faded sign to the properly which you can only see if you approach the house from one particular direction. When we arrived at the house the owner was frosty at best. She showed us to our room, instructed us to make sure we turned off the air conditioning/lights when we left the room. We were told not to ‘play’ with the air conditioning remote control. Is there really a need to tell grown ups this sort of thing? We were dreading coming down to breakfast in the morning given the frosty reception we received the night before. Unfortunately, there were no pleasantries from the owner during breakfast. The breakfast was not particularly good. Very limited gluten free options. Boiled egg undercooked and scambled eggs awful. We note other reviews mention croissants & pancakes/breakfast & wine/arrival: there was none of this on offer. Was it just us? Overall, very disappointing. We both could not wait to leave the property which is a real shame as we were looking forward to our stay.

Casa Lumaca exceeded our expectations! The room was very clean, quiet and it had all the necessary amenities. The breakfast is amazing and delicious, and we even got the chance to enjoy it on the beautiful garden. The host, Marina, was outstanding. Always kind and helpful! We’ll definitely come back to this beautiful B&B.

Even though there is a short walk from the parking lot to the B&B, this wouldn’t put us off staying here again.

Breakfast was fantastic - delicious cake served along with eggs, jam, bread and coffee made to order. Marina is a great host!

A beautiful hotel with very stylish rooms. Comfortable bed. When the weather allowed, breakfast was served in a pretty garden. Air conditioning and a minibar in the rooms. Dogs allowed. Free parking is accessible within 5 mins walk.

Our room was located next to a steep stairway and there was a gap between the corridor and the door. We had to be careful when entering/exiting not to trip over it. Located on the hill, it was difficult to climb back from the lake. No access by car, we needed to carry our bags from the parking lot which wasn't far but not very convenient.

Beautiful garden, and lovely room. Carefully decorated.

it should have a description where to park and how to find the Building. We were searching for half an hour since google maps showed the wrong way.
