Casa Emilia lake view apartment

Everything! John and Noel have done such an amazing job at creating and hosting a comfortable place to stay in the lovely town of Lierna. This place was very aesthetic (think Italian cottage-core) and had everything we needed and more, and John and Noel were very responsive and friendly hosts without being overbearing. They live on the top level of the home but it felt like we had the place and the gardens to ourselves. If you are wanting to experience Lake Como without the horrible crowds you see on social media (but still want to be a short ferry ride/ train trip away from Bellagio and Varenna) this is the perfect accommodation. We were able to enjoy quiet mornings to watch the sunset over the lake, mountain views (and hikes) including the wayfarer's path and fireflies in the garden. Best enjoyed as a longer stay as there is a washing machine (we brought our own laundry detergent but laundry pods are supplied for small change), a well equipped kitchen and both indoor and outdoor dining areas - we loved going to the supermarket and making the most of the amazing Italian produce. Both the beds and daybeds were very comfortable and the brick house was able to keep very cool even during the heatwave when we were there.

It is a bit of a steep 15-20 min trek to get from the Lierna train station/ ferry/ town to the accommodation with steps, so recommend hiring a car if you decide to stay here. It is manageable though as John and Noel very generously offered to pick us up and drop us off at the train station with our luggage (and gave us a lift up in the afternoon on a particularly hot day)!

Wir hatten zu fünft ein wunderschönes Wochenende. Uns hat alles sehr gut gefallen. Abends war es schön, gemeinsam an der frischen Luft zu sitzen und den atemberaubenden Blick auf den See zu genießen.

Доброзичливі та гостинні власники, чудовий двір та вид на озеро та гори. Будинок поринає в італійський настрій та історію.

Такого не було)
