The dock of Villa Sardagna

Spectacular place to stay. Sergio was very accommodating…met us upon arrival to give us a little history of the building, made sure we had everything we needed and went on his way. It’s truly as beautiful as the photos. And what a cool trap door (you’ll have to go and stay to see what I mean ;-). Had a wonderful bathroom, nice bar setup and great open space with panoramic views. You won’t be disappointed

It was an absolutely splendid experience. We rented a boat to use from Click&Boat website. I highly recommend doing that as well. Driving a car in Como is not as pleasurable as driving a boat! Thank you again Sergio for memories of a lifetime.

The biggest challenge is finding it! But once you do, this turned into a memory of a lifetime. The host provided clear instructions (we drove, but it might be easier to take the lake water taxi to Blevio), and met us upon our arrival for an intro and to make sure we were settled. Very hard to describe, but it is an old dock converted into a studio room, with plexiglass on 3 sides. A round bed, small deck for outside dining, and even a secret trip door with access to the water and a place to park a boat if desired. Make no mistake, you are literally ON the water, with a spectacular view and unique experience. Our only complaint would be a desire for a softer pillow, but we adapted by rolling-up a provided blanket. I give this place a 5-star review!

Lovely view, but the following should be addressed: a) directions for the address are critical; we spent over 45 minutes looking, and even the local people didn't know where this was. Finally we asked a local to call the phone number and speak in Italian b) there is a smart TV, but there is no evidence there has been internet; while the TV is not so important, if there will be no internet -- this needs to be made clear, so individuals can decide if they need this or not; c) there should be sheets for the round bed -- while there is quilt to spread onto the bed, sheets would have been more comfortable and protective from mosquito bites; d) need matches/lighter to light all the candles (there are only two lights, none at bedside, -- but there are candles). This place, while truly beautiful, is the equivalent of a hotel room, not a studio -- which would have been a more accurate description. It is a ways out of town, but the walkable restaurant, when open, is wonderful.
