My husband and our son and daughter (17 and 23 years) had a relaxing stay at this special resort. Private and quiet on beautiful grounds and the most spectacular views. Many unique features like an outdoor elevator and rooms steps from a private beach. We had a car but the ferry was the best way to get around to all of the villages. The ferry was a few minutes walk from the resort. The villeta had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The well equipped kitchen and dining area was really nice to have for breakfasts and the nights we stayed in for dinner. Eric is the perfect host and very responsive and helpful. We would love to stay here again some day.

We spent eight days at LCBR and enjoyed every one of them. The resort is right on the water with a beautiful view you never tire of. Our two level unit (#1) is the only two bedroom unit and was large enough for our four person family with two teenagers. The second bedroom is accessible thru the first but was not a bother to us. Eric, the owner was always available in person or by message to answer any question or help set up Lake or city tours or cooking lessons. He is very personable and positive which adds to your vacation enjoyment. His staff especially Jennifer are also always available to answer questions and help when needed. We look forward to a return trip to Lake Como and staying at LCBR.

We have just returned from a very relaxing and fabulous week in Lake Como Resort with our two teenage children, aged 16 and 13. The resort was recommended to us by friends and we weren’t disappointed. Eric and Robin the property owners were outstanding from the time of booking right through to checking that we had got home safely.

We stayed in Villetta no1 which was perfect for our family of four and the view from our second floor bedroom window was just amazing. The accommodation was excellent, spacious and had everything we needed. We made use of the private garden in front of our accommodation, sitting outside to have breakfast, lunch and dinner. We made use of the BBQ, buying a variety of meat from the local supermarket which is a 5 minute walk away. You can also pre-order croissants from Eric or Jennifer which are then delivered to your accommodation each morning.

The ferry is a 5 min walk away and we had trips to Como and Bellagio which we all enjoyed. We also hired a boat for three hours one afternoon which we arranged through Eric and Robin. This was one of the highlights of our holiday being able to take in the breath taking views along the lake at our own pace.

There are a couple of restaurants within walking distance both of which are very good. I recommend that you wear comfortable flat shoes for walking to and from the resort elevator as it is steep.

We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of Lake Como resort but what made it extra special was the hospitality of Eric, Robin, Jennifer and the rest of the team. Giving us recommendations on what to do and each day checking if there was anything we needed.

Thank you Eric and Robin for letting us stay in your resort, we loved it and hope to return again some day!

Ciao

My only complaint is that when we arrived the door of the hotel was locked so we couldn’t get in- take their phone numbers to contact them when you arrive. Overall the accommodation was just what we wanted, comfortable with all we needed. Eric & Jennifer were extremely friendly & helpful. We met some fantastic families that we socialised with (sorry to the other guests for our late night). The bus & ferry services were easy to get to & easy to use, perfect to see around the lake. Perfect holiday, would definitely go back

I don’t often give reviews but after enjoying two amazing weeks in July at Lake Como Beach Resort… it really does warrant the effort. I went with my family and was initially anxious it may have been too quiet for my two girls aged 15 & 12. I shouldn’t have worried.. They loved it!! Swimming in the lake, Kayaking or exploring, with lots to do. I would highly recommend hiring a boat for the day, great way to see the Lake. We met some wonderful people whilst there, and the hospitality of Eric and Jennifer was second to none! Highlights were waking up to that amazing scenery, eating breakfast in the peaceful gardens and having the most BBQ’s at dusk. (Butcher in local store is great) Thank you Eric for everything! Hope to see you again some day 🙂 Christine & Peter

We are a family of four from Tucson, AZ USA. My wife and I decided to take our two teenage boys age 14 and 16 to northern Italy for a summer family vacation. Eric setup a driver, Aziz, to pick us up from Milan Airport. (We don’t speak Italian so having someone take us to the villa was stress-free.) The cost 140 euros. The van was very nice and relaxing after a long flight.

The views of Lake Como was breath-taking. Eric greeted us and help us with the luggage. (Several step to get to the cliff-side elevator-advice-wear comfortable shoes). We had unit #1. Magnificent views of Lake Como and grassy courtyard from our bedroom window. Eric drove us up to the local butcher/deli store so we can stock our fridge with food for always hungry teenage boys and local wine for us. The salami, ham, prosciutto, fresh bread, mozzarella, pesto, pasta, etc was fantastic!!!

Our unit had a full refrigerator and a smaller beverage fridge. Small galley type kitchen, eating area and sofa on the 1st floor. Going up narrow spiral staircase was difficult at first but we became proficient by the end of our week.

There is a lobby with an expresso/coffee machine, fridge stocked with sodas and water bottles, DVD’s, books all on a honor system sign up sheet.

We followed the recommendations provided by Eric for our daily outings. We used the ferry (<5 minute walk) to go to Tremezzo, Cernobbio, Villa Carlotra, Bellagio, and Como. We used local buses as well. The towns surrounding the lake was charming with great shopping and restaurants. Just follow Eric’s recommendations and you will be fine.

We met couples from the U.K., Dennis and Fiona, Germany, USA, Austria all in the central courtyard where we all gathered for our evening meals and happy hour.

We have used VRBO and HomeAway all over the world. I read all the reviews for this property. Rent Eric and Robyn’s place-you will not be disappointed. We highly recommend.

We enjoyed our visit to Lake Como Beach Resort with its incredible views and relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed walking to the ferry and having dinner at the local restaurant with delightful views of the lake and wonderful meals. The hospitality of the owner Eric and his employees was outstanding. They went out of their way to welcome us and assist to make every day special during our visit. Our only negative was that we were not able to stay longer! You will see comments on the steps, but it was worth the climb and made us not regret the appetizer or dessert at dinner. We were celebrating family events and this was a perfect spot to create special memories.

My family enjoyed a lovely stay at this property over Easter. Eric and his family went beyond any expectations to ensure we – and all his guests – were comfortable and happy. The property is beautiful with a garden and small beach area perfect for lounging and for children. The apartments are equally appealing with comfortable beds and everything needed. What sets the resort apart from others is the warm, welcoming familial atmosphere that Eric creates with the ideal balance of privacy and a sense of community. The small town in which the resort is located is equally charming and friendly with a few restaurants of good quality, coffee shop/bat and grocery store. Highly recommended.

We stayed in Villa Serenita which was lovely, clean and spacious with plenty of room for four people. The resort area of the gardens and beach were very pleasant, combined with the stunning views it was perfect for a relaxing holiday. Eric is a great host, friendly, courteous and knowledgable about the area and willing to go out of his way to accommodate his guests. The public transport and ferry are great ways to get about the Lake with good services. We had a really fabulous time and would love to go back , my only reservation is that it is quite a steep site which may not suit some people, however I would suggest speaking to Eric who I am sure would be more than willing to help.

We stayed at Lake Como Beach Resort & Villas for 1 week in August with our 2 daughters (9&11) and had a truly fantastic stay. We chose the property due to it’s location on the edge of the lake and the fact that it had a jetty which means you can swim directly into the lake. We soon realised that this was indeed it’s USP and even the likes of George Clooney and Roman Abramovitch don’t have such facilities ! The appartments are adequately furnished (small shower room, very good sized bedrooms, reasonable kitchenette/lounge) but the real beauty of this place is the outside space. The views and the shared garden and the beach area/jetty are fantastic. Other guests were polite and we enjoyed sharing travel stories and local finds but this is all tied together due to the wonderful hosting of Eric and his charming daughter Jiselle. Eric gave us the local low down and recommended everywhere we needed to go – and indeed we did ! Even he was shocked at how many restaurants we managed to fit in ! Must do’s are Bella Vista, Il Pomodorino (Como) & Salice Blu (Belaggio), which you will need a car to get to, but we also loved Le Meridiana, which was a (hairy) 5 minute walk away. Vincenzo’s local (super)market sold the most delicious bread, pastries, homemade pesto, gnocchi, fruit/veg & pretty much anything you wanted to buy ! He was so sweet and often gave the girls little free treats in the morning. We visited Como & Bellagio and hired a boat on the lake for 3 hours. We also enjoyed many relaxing hours on the beach area and swimming in the lake. We were all genuinely blown away by this location and thoroughly enjoyed every minute with our fabulous hosts who made us feel truly like old friends. Thank you so much.

We’ve just had a great 10 days at lake Como beach resort. The weather was glorious and we enjoyed sunbathing on the lido and swimming in the lake. Lake Como is absolutely stunning. Eric and his family were lovely and Eric in particular was so helpful and friendly. We were later than planned arriving due to flight delays and Eric very kindly went and picked up some pizzas for us from a near by restaurant. We loved the local shop and enjoyed their fresh pasta, ragu and gnocchi as well as Italian meats and cheeses. There weren’t many restaurants or bars within walking distance so although you don’t need a car to get around I would definitely recommend hiring one. The drive from the airport was easy and we didn’t find the Italian drivers too crazy.

Eric organised a speed boat for us for the day and I would thoroughly recommend this as it was a great way of viewing all the lovely lakeside properties. We loved Bellagio, Varenna and Como. Although Pognana Lario is a small village with limited shops and restaurants the lakeside location with lido makes it very special. We would love to return.

The place is wonderfully located and the villas are very well furnished and cosy. Although the photos are of excellent quality they do not reflect the full beauty of the place. But mostly, what is exceptional about the resort, is the wonderful staff who are ready to help you and give you any needed advice starting from the moment the reservation is made up to your stay in the resort with daily recommendations about interesting places to visit, how to move around the area of the lake, etc. We will definitely recommend this place to our friends and family and hope to come back some time soon 🙂

Great location, great views, great quite place to enjoy vacation. Eric is a top owner and really nice guy. He is very helpful and hospitable. The only thing I regret for is that we should have stayed there a few days more. Great time! Highly recommend.

Eric is the most wonderful host, he was so helpful with local information and nothing was a problem to him. He constantly made sure everything was good and always offered to do extra if we needed. The location of the villa was sensational. We would highly recommend this villa. Thank you so much again Eric.

Awesome place to stay when visiting Lake Como. Location is great with a ferry stop only 5 mins away with also a bus option into Bellagio which is quicker than the ferry’s. Eric, Jennifer and staff were so friendly and helpful and went over and beyond to make you feel welcome. Villa comfortable with amazing views of the lake and felt good to come back to the peaceful view after a day of sightseeing.

Eric was the perfect host – not being to Lake Como before he was in constant communication until we arrived. It is a magical place with a unique laneway trail to the accomodation. It was raining and Eric came to meet us and help with our bags. Eric went out of his way to ensure our stay was comfortable – bottles of wine on arriving – arranging some food for us for when we arrived – arranging lunch for us at Isola Commancina. The accommodation was spotless so all credit to Jennifer. A great location on the Lake.

Eric and Jennifer were fantastic hosts. Property was very well kept and in a peaceful location with stunning views across the lake. Croissants for breakfast were delicious. Large DVD & book library. Only a 5-minute walk to catch the ferry from Pognana Lario, which goes direct to Como. Ferry timetables clearly shown in reception. Peppo’s Bar a short walkaway is well worth a visit, their pizzas are amazing.

I stayed alone for 3 days and honestly I am so happy I found this place. I felt special from the beginning to the end with the help of the owners Eric & Jenny, they were very nice, friendly. As I planned it was a short trip looking for some relaxation, meditation and nature and I found it all in this place. Beautiful Scenery of Como lake and the mountains, very peaceful place !!! Cosy lobby with coffee machine and some books- all free to use for guests- surely can make you feel like you home. The room was lovely with very comfortable bed and pillows. the place has Easy Access to Ferry. Eric & Jenny are the best and very helpful in directing me to all places that I must visit during my stay. I will definitely bring my family and come back. Tania

The location of the property is just fabulous! Located on the lake, it is also close to public transport (both ferry and bus stops are at a short walk). The villetas are equipped with everything needed for self-catering. A shop is located nearby and you can buy almost everything from there. The owners are amazing, they’ve been very nice and accommodating. We’ve just left and we are already thinking about going back! 🙂

This resort is unreal. The views are to die for and you can immediately tell that the owners and staff love what they do. Everyone is always smiling, which created such a sweet environment to vacation in. I loved staying here because you have the ability to do so many things. For example, the property is right on the water allowing you to be close to the ferry dock, to go up or down the lake and see different cities. On the other hand, the bus stop is also close; so whether you rent a car or not transportation is readily available. The owners of Lake Como Beach Resort are very helpful as well. They know many of the people in Pognana Lario from the market owner to the different restaurants. This creates a sense of comfort as a guest because you know what you are paying for is good and you will be taken care of. They give you the ability to order FRESH croissants every morning, which are delivered straight to your door! Overall, staying at the Lake Como Beach Resort, exceeded my expectations and they went above and beyond to make sure my stay was fabulous.

Hubby and I arrived here and what a treat , the views were magical and waking up in the morning to them was a great treat for anyone.
Eric was truly kind and would go out of his way to help you with anything , all his guests had only nice things to say about him and his staff, so pleased we found this little gem of a place , it’s a shame I’ll have to big it up and make it popular 

We had a wonderful family reunion at the resort in early August. The resort is lovely – rooms are clean, well kept, well stocked with kitchen supplies and the bedrooms and baths are beautiful. Plus they all have a view and a balcony overlooking the lake! Very peaceful and nice space to sunbathe and/or dive into the lake!

The hosts – Eric and Robin are both personable and tremendously helpful! Just make sure you know where hotel is located as town is very small! And it is a walk betw the road/local buses and the hotel. But if you want a charming, quiet place on the lake for a few days, this is perfect!

Our week at the Lake Como Beach Resort and Villas was unforgettable! Everything was first class. The rooms were impeccably clean, the beds were very comfortable and the view of Lake Como was breathtaking! We enjoyed basking in the sun on the private beach in between our time in the lake. There was plenty of parking available and it was close to a water taxi pick up. Pognana Lario has some of the most beautiful views of Lake Como and you are just a short drive/ boat ride from Como and Bellagio. This is a must stay when visiting the beautiful, Lago di Como!

Loved this place! We had a large group and grilled out for three of our nights under the stars. We met lovely people during our stay and Eric is a terrific host with great ideas for day trips and dining

“Warm & caring hosts, a very friendly and helpful property caretaker, at a waterfront location on the quiet side of lake Como! Bellagio and Como are both only 20-30 minutes away. Having a separate Bedroom for our daughter was helpful!”
