Very friendly host, went out of his way to make us comfortable and gave us recommendations for dinner while in town. Very passionate about restoring the villa. Everything very clean and lots of beautiful antique furniture. Beautiful view from the room. Great light breakfast in the morning - tea/coffee, biscotti, tasty Italian pastries, fresh fruit. A wonderful, unique experience. I'd stay here again.

Tricky/difficult to access without a car/taxi - if walking, Google maps will tell you to take the N1 bus and walk up Via Cardino, but it's actually faster and flatter to take the N1 to its origin at San Fermo and walk from there, it's longer on the bus but a more comfortable walk. Nearby expressway is a bit loud but not extraordinarily so.

Views! Easy, free parking on premises. Charm and character of the building. Guido was very friendly, easy going and helpful.

You need a car!! A 15 minute drive to the city. Difficult to find car parking in Como. There are no longer any walkways or steps down to Como since the freeway cut off access. Freeway noise prevented you from opening the window. A fridge in common dining area would be good for self catering options.

This place takes to you back in time. Located in a wonderful garden with a beautiful view, you feel like time has frozen when you step inside. The villa has kept its original spirit with the nice decoration and furniture without giving away from cleanliness. Definitely an experience for people who do not look for chain hotels without spirit. We stayed in a room with private bathroom, I would not prefer to share this with other people. As I understood not every room was like this. For us everything went fine.

The wifi signal is only available in the ground floor. Yes, it's a place to disconnect and not work but you should be able to make a whatsapp call in your room. Not as a negative point, indeed the location was perfect for us but you definitely need a car to reach in and out.

The location and views were superb.overlooking Lake Como The garden was lovely to explore . The breakfast was just what we needed with plenty of choice to choose from . The fruit was delicious. The local pizzeria and gelato were one of the best we had visited and we could walk there so we could have a drink :)

If you need Charging ports for mobile phone it had old Italian plugs so maybe having an adapter which would fit this at an extra charge even would be useful . We found a modern plug with air conditioner so used this so we were fine in one room :)

The view from our room was breathtaking! The villa is exactly what the experience should be when staying at an Italian villa. The garden and the proximity of Como town are what we were looking for. Loooved the fact that there was no TV in the room!

The bathroom was external, however that is reflected in the price. Not such a big issue, it was right in front of the room and it was private.

We recently spent two nights at Villa Corti in Como and were absolutely charmed by the beauty of this hidden gem. Reached via a steep winding road, the views from the property are simply breathtaking from every aspect. The host greeted us very warmly, despite the fact that we were well ahead of the agreed check in time and had taken advantage of the outside seating area to enjoy the views. The villa is a rare find in such a popular tourist focused area and is the perfect romantic getaway for couples wanting to explore the Como area and the Great Lake Como. The host happily gave us some fantastic tips on making the most of our time in Como and was able to direct us to free parking, very close to the ferry port - the gateway to a hop on/off tour of all of the beautiful towns and villages that Lake Como has to offer. The ferry to places such as Bellagio are an absolute must and Como centre itself is lovely with an unbelievably beautiful church/cathedral Inside the accommodation the room was absolutely delightful, full of original charm and features, and far removed from the more touristy places on offer. With a partition door completely closing you off from the rest of the villa, we enjoyed absolute privacy with a stunning period room, a well equipped private bathroom and the whole place was spotlessly clean. The host was on hand if needed and was kind and helpful, but he was totally unobtrusive and did not disturb our privacy in any way. Another great bonus was the parking right outside the premises at no extra charge offering the perfect security when leaving your vehicle overnight. We cannot say enough positive things about this beautiful villa and would not hesitate to return Highly recommended - especially for those travelling by car/motorcycle The perfect stay !!!!!

it’s lovely but it’s quirky …. wouldn’t suite s family or anyone without a car

What a beautiful house in a lovely location. Our host was very helpful and informative. A charming man. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Shower was great too.

The private bathroom was across the hall - not a problem as there were no other guests in, but could be embarrassing. I did expect a bit more for breakfast than what was on offer. I’d have gladly paid more for the option.

The house is locatedin a beautiful place, on the hill over the city. It is very peaceful with a great view. The villa is very romantic with the od furnitures, our aparment was roomy, comfortable for 4 persons. Everything was very clean, and the cleaning lady came daily to put everything in order. The owner was very kind and helpful and we loved the two cats staying around the house.

My husband missed a little more rich breakfast, but it was for fine for me.

Friendly host was great. Incredibly wonderful view! Very nice property.

Property needs some TLC...has potential to be exceptional (great flowers and space). Rooms were pretty hot with limited ventilation (though our host kindly tried to help). Can't escape highway noise (maybe a water fountain could mask it some?)

If you want the experience of staying in an authentic Italian villa, full of antiques, and the most amazing views at a most reasonable price then this is the place. Having a car would be an advantage, but not essential as there is a gentle sloping walk down to the village of S. Fermi about a mile away. Great way to get your steps in and burn off some holiday calories! Of course arriving and leaving with luggage and no car?? Well, no problem, as the Guido, the host, collected us from the nearest train station, Grandate Breccia and dropped us off again when we were leaving. He was very accommodating with lifts if he was going in the same direction at the same time. The views are amazing, looking down over the harbour in Como and up to the village of Brunate at the top of the funicular train. Breakfast was fine, cereal, fruit and coast and cheeses. You could use the kettle and the toaster whenever you wished. We were there in early October, but it was around 21°C for the week with sun trying to burn off the low lying mist but not succeeding. It was very comfortable to move around. Our bedroom was like an apartment, with a sitting area leading to two large bedrooms and a bathroom. The shower was great. All in all a lovely stay.

Everything was lovely
