Spacious home from home with fabulous views

Gina and Chris are so welcoming and helpful. We stayed in a superb and very well appointed three bedroomed apartment above their family home with stunning lake Como views in a quiet residential neighborhood. Private secure parking. Mini market and friendly local bar with food next door, other nice restaurants only five minutes walk away. Accessible lake frontage very close to the property. A perfect base to explore the area and a lovely place to return to in the evening. A true home from home to which we hope to return

Perfect relaxing holiday

We couldn’t ask for anything better! Gina the owner and her partner were perfect hosts and SO kind, helpful and welcoming. They explained where everything was in the apartment and its location. They outlined all available methods of travel on the Lake, boats, sea plane, train, car, parking etc. They gave us maps and leaflets. The property is so spacious, we were only 2 but it is perfect for at least 4 people. The view from every window is breathtaking and SO beautiful. There are 2 balconies with these views too. There are 2 bathrooms which is a bonus. Private car parking space and a garden! There is a shop, bar and restaurant all within easy walking distance. We would return anytime!

Superb! Simple!

The apartment could not be faulted. Location may not suit those seeking a buzzy nightlife or without a car. I have been staying in Lezzeno for over 20yrs at various villa's and apartments and this is one of the best.

A Perfect Place to Explore Lake Como

Gina's 3 bedroom Apartment in Lezzeno was the perfect place for us to stay - us being Gran and Grandpa, our daughter and her husband, and their two children. The apartment is well equipped, spacious, clean, airy, has views over the lake, access to a garden (for the kids), access to the ferries on the lake, close to restaurants, close to a shop (next door!), parking available, etc., etc. and Lezzeno does not have to tourist crowding of other places such s Bergamo or Como. Gina is a wonderful hostess - you really must see her compendium of information about the area !!! - and she is so helpful. She recommended several restaurants - two were superb ( Crotto dei Pescatori and Ristorante Aurora Lezzeno), one is very overrated (The Stone House - miserly portions of food and very poor service on an average evening [i.e. it was not an exceptionally busy day]). Our only regret is Lezzeno does not have a take-away gelato bar.

Fantastic stay at Gina's house

My family and I spent a fantastic week in Lezzeno. The apartment was very spacious and well equipped. From the balconies we had wonderful views directly on the lake. Gina is a lovely person, she provided us with so many tips and information. She really wants her guests to feel at home. We certainly come back. Thank you Gina.

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.
