We spent a few days at Cyril’s place and it was an unforgettable experience. The apartment is gorgeous, with an incredible view of Lake Como from the rooftop — a real favorite! It’s ideally located, close to all amenities.

Beautifully located accommodation on the hills above Lenno, perfect for exploring this stunning Lake Como region. The peaceful setting, high above the village and away from traffic, is enhanced by the calming sound of a small stream flowing down the mountain. Free parking nearby. The apartment is comfortable, and the rooftop terrace is the cherry on top for enjoying the view and perfecting your stay! Thank you, Cyril, for your responsiveness, kindness, and great tips!

Cyril’s apartment offers breathtaking views of Lake Como and the heights of Lenno. We especially loved the terrace. It’s very pleasant and true to the photos, and you can walk to the lake via footpaths. The nearby stream adds a charming touch — it’s a bit noisy at first, but quickly becomes part of the charm. Thanks again, Cyril!
