Hotels & Accommodation near Piona Beach

For breakfast 2 of 5

This property is outstanding. We wanted to stay closer to switzerland (where we were headed after Lake Como) and wanted to be out of the thick of the crowds. This ended up being perfect. The house is composed of an upstairs apartment and a main floor apartment. We rented both. In-laws were upstairs and our family with baby was downstairs. The house is so well built that we heard nothing from either apartment. The house is a very leisurely 30 minute walk from the town of Colico which has a lively lakefront, much more authentic than we found in Bellagio and Tremezzo. It is also a 2 minute walk to the lake where there is a beach, a food kiosk, etc. We took our coffee down there every day. Each day we arranged an activity. The first day we did a two hour boat tour from Colico to Bellagio and back. Perfect way to get oriented to the lake. The second day we did a bike tour. We biked with a guide to an agri-tourism farm for a fabulous lunch. The third day we drove to Villa Carlotta and took the ferry across to Bellagio. We were so glad we stayed in Colico. Davide, the owner, was so easy to work with and he has a fabulous restaurant that is on the same property. We had dinner there one night, really outstanding food, and brunch on Sunday which was delicious. This is the perfect arrangement for people who want a less touristy, more authentic Lake Como experience without the crowds, but still close enough to see waht the fuss is all about!

Enjoyed all aspects of this property, including location, kitchen and bath amenities, convenience, outdoor space, and absolutely the views.
