La Serra - Modern greenhouse on lake Como

What an amazing property! We stayed three days here in Carate Urio, Lake Como. This rental was so cute and convenient for us!! The views were unbelievable from the bedroom and the top floor!This property had everything you could ever need, being away from home. The two bedrooms and two bathrooms were perfect for the four of us. It was so clean and cozy. The hot tub overlooking the lake was a huge plus for our girls. They used it every evening. We would definitely stay here again. Loved every minute we spent there. Such great hosts and property!!

Spotlessly clean and modern fittings throughout; everything worked really well. The views are amazing from every space, indoor and out while private access to the garden and spa was so much better than just a terrace. Locked garage was a bonus too although it is off site (as described in the listing) which is really only problematic when offloading luggage. You absolutely need a car and have good physical strength to climb the pebbled path and steps to the front door - particularly as you’ll need to get your luggage all the way up and back again, and the communal bins are quite some way away where you must deposit your variously sorted waste. But, it’s definitely worth it! Although 2-bed, 2-bath, it works better for a couple and maybe 1 child. We would feel very confined if two couples, especially as lounge seating is only for 2 people. As a couple, the space to spread out was a dream.

We had a fabulous time! The hot tub and views were a highlight. Beds are queen size for Americans. Showers were pretty small and the kitchen lacked in proper lighting if you plan on cooking dinner or an evening meal. We will definitely be staying here again! Such a beautiful area and location on the lake!

Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone but La Serra is amazing. The location in Urio couldn’t be better, 25 minutes to Como or the many wonderful villages north like Lenno, Tramazzo etc. The villa is modern and overall well appointed. A few more basics would be helpful ie dishwasher tablets but when I mentioned to Nicola, they magically showed up the next day. Upstairs bedroom has spectacular lake views, smaller bathroom, downstairs has very good views and bigger bath and shower. The dining room chairs are currently like bean bag sacks and the owners seem inclined to replace them with regular chairs. Beds are very comfortable and suffice linens. Outside dining area is fantastic with Electra roof and side transparent shades for keeping bugs out or using the A-C outside. Hot tub is small but a very nice extra. Overall this is a special property for 5 days or longer and we hope to return. Heaven on earth!

Incredible! Nicola was great and very responsive. The pictures don’t do it justice. We will be back.
