Wonderful home, Amazing hosts!

We had a wonderful time in Como and The Secret Garden was an enchanting place to stay. Alessandra and her husband were so welcoming and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. The space was gorgeous and had everything we needed. They provided great recommendations and even helped transport our luggage to and from the train station. Grazie mille! Highly recommended!

Beautiful Villa

Allesandra went above and beyond to care for us during our stay, so many extras we did not expect. We did not see a hot tub as vrbo advertised but we did not want one. The city tax has gone up to 3 euro per person per day not 2 euro per person per day as vrbo lists. We loved staying here and would definitely stay here again. This beautiful villa is close to all the shops and restaurants.

A great place to stay in Como, Italy

This beautiful apartment is close to everything in old Como. Restaurants, shops, food store, the duomo, gelato (!), the central train station. Be prepared to walk the quiet, safe streets and enjoy the town.

Beautiful stay in Como

Wow!!! I don’t have the words to describe how perfect our stay was! The space is stunning and was the perfect location for us to stay for the nights before and after our wedding in a nearby villa. Alessandra was a phenomenal host and she made sure to communicate all details about parking, check-in, etc. and was incredibly kind. We absolutely loved our stay here- it was nicer than many 5-star resorts. I definitely recommend and hope we get to stay here again on our next visit to Como!

Bellissimo

My wife and I were very impressed with Alessandra's apartment, having been in so many others over the years in Italy. Spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen and bathrooms were completely stocked and the robes and slippers were like an upscale hotel. The furniture was very comfortable . Alessandra is very well organized, with tons of info on everything around Como. Lots of good restaurants and shopping close by. Grazie mille per tutti Alessandra Tom & Nancy

Lake Como

The place is absolutely beautiful. It is in a great location of walking streets. We had a car and we parked in a garage several blocks away. Had we to do over we would have taken the train up from Milan and not driven. Everything you will want to do you can do by walking. The owners were great! We would stay there again if we ever go back.

Very good stay

Positives: Very caring owner. Good welcome. Good communication. Great location. Tons of extras such as teas, coffees, toiletries. Beautifully furnished. Very modern. Negatives: Air conditioning by portable units that had been removed at time of stay. There were fans but we were hot at night during our mid September stay. Can hear footsteps from upstairs due to the old structure of building. Overall: We had a great stay and definitely would return.

Wonderful stay

A lovely apartment in beautiful Lake Como. The common rooms are very impressive, the pictures are very accurate. The kitchen is very well outfitted, while we only had breakfast and an afternoon snack in we could have prepared a full dinner with all the cooking utensils and supplies provided. All the daily essentials are provided. The furnishings are all high quality including very comfortable beds. Having a washer and dryer was also very handy. Finally we cannot say enough positive things regarding the hospitality of Alessandra and Riccardo they left us feeling like guests not customers. Riccardo drove us to the train station on the morning of our departure. Our only disappointment is that we didn’t stay longer.
