Cottage holiday rentals in Lake Maggiore

We had a wonderful stay, and the hostesses always responded fast to our questions. I can recommend the house for everyone. Our do enjoyed the garden a lot.

We loved this little spot. It's near a campsite and you are right on the lake and have direct assess to the water. This little cottage in front of a lakeside path and you can walk to many excellent restaurants, as well as two grocery stores. You're on the lake, not on the street, so it was very quite. We were there at the end of September, so the weather was still nice, but most the tourists were gone. Rita was very welcoming. We had everything we needed. We needed two twin beds, and that's what they had. Everything was spotlessly clean, and it has its own pool which we didn't use, but would have loved too. We can't wait to go back!

Very nice place, clean, well furnished. Host was great. Free parking is 15 minutes walk from the place.

We had a fantastic time staying in Dervio at Francesco’s place and exploring the towns surrounding lake Como. The place is perfect for so many reasons, the location is great, right on a small beach with amazing views and a walking path that takes you into town. It’s a short 7 minute walk from the train station and 10 minutes to downtown area with restaurants. There are tons of old walkways that allow you to explore the area. We spent a couple days taking the train and ferry to Bellano, Veranna, and Bellagio (very happy to be in Dervio). We also have two small kids and found the place was great for families with crib, beds with guard rails, and a high chair, along with a playground that just out the front door. The gates were excellent for preventing kids from going to the road or to the lake. The best part was Francesco and his family, they are very warm and welcoming! We spent time with him, his father, aunt, and cousin and very much enjoyed getting to know them!

Beautiful place! Right inside a horse farm. The apartment is located on the second floor above the farm office. Two huge bedrooms and two very large bathrooms. New and clean washing machine. We traveled with our children and they were thrilled with the place. The owners of the property were very friendly and highly available by phone (whatapp) Great place!

If you want to disconnect from your routine and escape alone in nature, this place is perfect for you! It is surrounded by a beautiful forest with a view on the mountains. I would advise you to consider this mountain hut more as a shelter as you might spend most of your time outside (the interior is quite dark and not that clean). Stefano was really kind and responsive if we had any question! (And by the way, there is a super new compost toilet)

The location of the cottage was as wonderful as the pictures suggest, you're far enough from the waters edge to have a sprawling view, and close enough that nothing interrupted the view. Cinzia was very responsive and helpful and the added touches (pastries/wine) were much appreciated. Nesso is beautiful little spot, it can get reasonably busy because of the waterfall and the road from Como to Bellagio is rarely quiet (although we couldn't hear it from the bungalow). Be prepared for some hilly steps though, we clocked up 110 floors of climbing one day (for info, the Twin Towers were also 110 floors!). We found and Cinzia recommended a wonderful restaurant called Il Briisa which we would go back to in a heartbeat. The food, wine, service and ambience were all spot on. Overall, fantastic, it was a surprise break for my wife's 40th birthday and it delivered perfectly.

We had a wonderful stay here! The bedrooms were very clean, each room had AC which is a luxury a lot of times and the bathrooms were spotless. Almost felt like a lux hotel but nice to have 3/4 rooms connect as it made us feel at home. Sergio was an amazing host, providing us with breakfast and cappuccinos daily. Everything was delicious we wish we could’ve have stayed longer! So we will definitely look at coming back!

loved our stay in Cossogno. Elena was a very helpful host and lives close by so on hand if you needed anything. left us lovely gifts on arrival and departure. Great location for walking and also relaxing listening to village life go by on the balcony. Thank you for a lovely week. We will be back.

A star rating is useless for this gem in Northern Italy. It’s so far above a “stay” and The Farmhouse is an experience not to be missed by those who align with an authentic natural setting with uniqueness off the charts. And you’ll have to make the effort to enter the property. If effort is your entrance fee then look elsewhere. It’s more than worth the steep hike on a short trail to enter this palace of solitude. Ken is the ideal host and even offered up his garden for our salad.

We very much enjoyed our stay and the boat ride was amazing. Thank you for reserving that for us. I’d recommend the 2 hour boat tour with tour of the famous gardens for the Villa del Babianello. If we were to do it again we would bring more food to grill at the nice charcoal bbq provided as restaurants are a jaunt down the hill and we would often just want to stay in. Lovely host and lovely place. Thank you!

We were here for the second time. Beautiful quiet apartment a little away from the mainstream tourism of Lake Maggiore but still everything very quickly accessible

We felt very comfortable in this beautiful cozy cottage. The hosts furnished the place with a lot of love and great taste. Great compliment!! For a cozy and relaxing stay, we highly recommend the cottage!!! Ale and Nancy are great hosts, highly recommended to everyone.

We had a magical few days at this wonderful house. Outstanding and quick communication from Debora and so, so easy to make ourselves at home. We could not have picked a better location on the Lake for getting around from and....my goodness.....the views from the property are breathtaking! Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable and we would love to return one day. Thank you so much for having us! x

tranquil and breathtaking views. a little far from the center, so from restaurants and supermarkets, but this also means quiet and with a spectacular view.

We had a wonderful stay at Julian’s place. The Rustico is very stylish and yet original, located in a peaceful and green surrounding. Julian was always very responsive and provided us with some nice tips for restaurants and places to visit. Thanks a lot! Definitely a recommendation

Daru’s place is even better than the pictures, incredible views, beautiful bedrooms and fully equipped with all the amenities you may need.

Claudia was so helpful throughout our whole holiday! The place looked bigger than appeared in the pictures and was so private. We had a couple of troubles with ants however we were given clear instructions on how to get rid of them. The house was a short walk from the centre of Como where there are many amazing restaurants and shops. I would highly recommend staying here and we had an amazing time!

It’s a wonderful place on the mountain with a magnificent view over the lake. The host is friendly and responsive, although it was a bit difficult to arrange a new check-in time when we were delayed due to car trouble. The house itself is wonderful, with a good shower, bedroom with a great view from the window and really comfortable bed, nice kitchen with more than enough utensils. There is nice terrace outside, where you can sit in total privacy, although the chairs could use an upgrade. But all in all we had a wonderful stay!

Fausto's cottage is wonderful for vacationing in Osteno. It is located in a beautiful garden with terrace. In the house, everything is as described in the listing. However, you have to do without TV and Wi-Fi. However, the existing cell phone reception (not always guaranteed in the mountains) makes it possible to plan tours and excursions. From the house you can reach the small town center within a minute. There are two bars and a small mini-market. The beach is a minute's walk away. If you are looking for peace and quiet and want to vacation among locals, we highly recommend Osteno and Faustos Cottage. We'll definitely be back at some point.

Beautiful house in a beautiful setting. Confortable. Lots of hiking right from the house. Highly recommend!
