Excellent Wat... 5 of 5 Susan Lex Feb 9, 2013 WATERFRONT - LAKE COMO BEACH RESORT - Paradiso

"Excellent Waterfront Resort and accommodation"
My husband and I had a wonderful experience in October of 2012 while staying at the Lake Como Beach Resort.
The villetta was very tastefully newly designer furnished with the little extra fine touches, to make it feel like a real home and not a rental. It was very cozy and comfortable and nothing was missed. The views of the lake were amazing and the property sits in a park like setting. We really liked the fact we had a private space to keep our car on the property. The property was safe and secure and the weather perfect in October. We rented a motorboat which was delivered for our use to the Lcbr dock, then they picked up the boat when finished.
Eric the wonderful owner and our host was tremendous, he helped set up all our restaurant reservations and day trips around the lake.
Rent a seaplane which we did, to see the lakes from the air. Took a ride on the Bernina Express train for the day to San Moritz - beautiful.
Went to Lugano, Switzerland on a day trip and to Bergamo - silk capitol as well as Milan. It was all great fun. Our favorite restaurants were Salice Blu in Bellagio and Bella Vista in Veleso.
Loved grilling on the bbq from the meats we bought at the local butchers to grill over the lake .
Everything about this property was very upscale without the upscale snootiness. The owners were very kind, real and honest They made us feel very well taken care of and pampered.
We even rented a motorboat and went to visit the Villa Balbienello- James Bond Villa and had lunch near the Isola Comacina in Lenno and had the most delicious Lemon Ravioli. Really enjoyed the Billicus restaurant in Bellagio as well as the shopping which I thought was reasonable.
We will be certainly planning another trip to Como and this beautiful little resort. We felt like family in a warm inviting setting. It could not have felt more perfect.

TRIP ADVISOR - SEPTEMBER 2012 - France

Submitted: October 11, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Magnifique

La résidence se trouve dans un petit village à 20 minutes en voiture du centre ville de Côme. Les appartements ont une vue magnifique sur le lac et on peut y apercevoir la villa de George Clonney. Accès au port à 5 minutes à pieds pour les ballades en bateau sur le lac de Côme.
L'appartement où nous avons séjourné (felicita) est très bien équipé (cuisine/internet/TV/lecteur DVD ...), propre mais la literie est moyenne. L'isolation n'est pas top dans la mesure où l'on entend tout ce qu'il se passe dans les appartements autour. Cela n'est pas dérangeant pour une famille avec enfants.
Le jardin commun permet de laisser jouer les enfants en toute sécurité. La salon qui est commun à tous les appartements est super. Des DVD, jeux, livres, guides sont en libre accès.
L'acces au parking est vertigineux mais Éric est là pour nous aider ;-) ... L'equipe est disponible et très agréable. Le gérant ne vit pas sur place mais est joignable à tout moment. Nous avons passé un super séjour. Il faut vraiment y aller !!!

TRIP ADVISOR - AUGUST - 2012- from Leeds U.K

Submitted: August 24, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
Blissful, Peaceful, Quirky, Awesome

Fantastic!
Eric, was an absolute star, and with Robin & Giselle thanks for making it a wonderful holiday. Will return with my folks!
Us - Family of 4, kids 11 and 14
Location - Incredible. Stunning. Right on the lakefront, it's sooo peaceful and relaxing. Built around a grassed square with kiwi bushes, and thankfully, some shade, overlooking the lake. Grounds have various fruit trees, and there's an elevator to get up and down from the car park. Some villetas are round the corner, with less of a lake view, but are also in less sun so are a little cooler.
There's 2 Bbqs and plenty of tables and chairs for al-fresco dining. A raised up "beach" with comfy sun loungers and a few chairs and parasols. There's a jetty where the kids played all day long, and plenty of inflatable toys.
Who's it for? - There were people of varying ages here, and from a number of countries. But if you're drawn to this place, you'll probably get along. Need to have reasonable mobility though.
To Do - Soak up the sun, swim in the lake, go fishing, boating. Go sightseeing. Hire a speedboat.
Nearby facilities - Small supermarket is an elevator, a walk up the steep stairs and driveway, and 150 yards of gentle uphill along the road away. It's not the cheapest, but decent quality and fresh produce.
Comfort - Be aware that a sleeps 4 apartment means 2 people sleep on the sofa bed in living area, but they're custom made, very comfortable.
Best - Location, right by the water, quiet, and don't really need to go out much. And total focus of Eric and Robin on their guests' enjoyment and wellbeing.
Downsides - The car park is a challenge for less confident drivers. The steep hillside steps would be an issue for those with mobility or health problems. Spiral stairs in villettas take some getting used to. Take repellant, next to water so we all had a few mosquito bites.

If you're still not sure, you should be! Everyone who arrived the day we left, was a repeat booking! Need I say more?

TRIP ADVISOR - AUGUST 2012

Once you're there, you won't want leave...

For a waterfront experience of Lake Como that is reasonably priced, I can't imagine it getting better than this. My partner and I stayed for a week over summer and we would not hesitate to come back.

A word of warning to start, the 15/20 mins drive from Como (the town) is a little hair-raising for those unaccustomed to driving on the narrow lake roads. Then the very steep and winding driveway down to the car park and the small elevator off the cliff face will further test your resolve.

But just when you think your nerves can't handle any more, the serenity and beauty of the lake overwhelms you and any stress you had getting to the villa quickly dissipates.

Eric is just about the friendliest guy you will ever meet - gives you his undivided attention when you see him and always helpful with a suggestion or recommendation. He made our time there feel as if we were staying with friends.

The villas are furnished nicely and whilst it's not the Ritz, it has everything that you need for a great stay. The resort has a bit of a community feel about it as all villas open out on to a central square and decking, so chatting with other guests and comparing holiday stories is always interesting.

What really makes this place special is it's location on the water and stunning views. With direct access to the lake, swimming and sun bathing by the lake is probably all the you will want to do, and it's made better by not being over crowded with tourists like some other towns on the lake.

I would recommend shopping at the local grocery store (pretty good for the main staples) and cooking meals to enjoy on your balcony over looking the lake or in one of the communal areas on the lake. Food tastes better when it's being eaten with views like this!

I would also recommend Restaurant Bella Vista in Veleso and Villa Melzi (gardens) in Bellagio.

A better location on Lake Como is not possible. The views from Pognana Lario were breath taking. We used the ferry only a short 4 minute walk and buses to get around and did not need a car.
There is a quaint very good grocery store with delicious meats and cheeses as well as fresh lasagna. Ohhhh yummy!
The property was lovely with glorious gardens, flowers and various fruit trees and beautiful views to die for...
My husband and I had an incredible stay at the LCBR in October. Eric and Robin the owners, were wonderful hosts and could not have done enough. The facilities are lovely with beautiful tasteful furnishings mixed with eclectic baskets and handpicked personal touches from around the globe. You can see the extra touches were added with a lot of thought and care. It made our stay extra special. Eric was heaven sent, assisting with our day trips, boat rental and dinner reservations. Really, we felt very pampered with the excellent level of customer care.
The area on the Bellagio side of the lake is stunning and very close to Como Centro, in fact it is not as crazy as the other side of the lake. Perfect for us, we wanted peace and quiet and a relaxing stay that was close, but not noisy. It was perfect.
The villetta was kept immaculate and very well maintained.
We loved our daily walks along the lake shore. The property is romantic and beautiful.
The Italian drivers who like to tailgate can be annoying at times, so just ignore them and you will be just fine!
Lake Como is fantastic and even better than any movie or pictures, you have seen.
One needs to experience all the magic of Lake Como . We love it here.
Excellent accommodations which we recommend most highly to anyone wanting a very special place to stay on Lake Como.
