I have stayed in a lot of vacation rentals and hotels over the years, but this experience stands out as one of the best, if not *the* best, of them all. The apartment is incredible--the photos do not, and realistically could not, compare to how it is in person. The views of Lake Como are simply stunning. The location is above the lake (better views) but also only a 50m walk to enter the lake for a swim. The kitchen is fully equipped with the most modern appliances and everything you could need. Beds are comfortable, place was spotless on check in.
Dani and his family, who manage the place, are wonderful hosts. He personally provided all the information we could have needed, responding via whatsapp within less than a minute, to all of our questions. He also booked us a dinner reservation at the Aurora hotel in town (recommended) and a reservation to rent a boat for the afternoon (absolutely recommended). Dani also showed us a garage with tons of beach chairs, floaty toys, and a high quality BIC kayak that we were free to use at any time. Overall, we felt that we had all the privacy we wanted, and yet the expertise and assistance of a 3rd generation local when we needed it. Check out was a breeze, no hassle or demanding rules.
The town of Lezzeno is very small, only 3-4 restaurants, no gelateria or caffes. But it has a ferry stop so you can take the ferry to other towns w/o driving.
Grazie di tutto Dani and family for hosting us, we hope to come back again.
