As you know, I adored the apartment and found it to be the most charming way to stay in the Lake Como environment. I found that you maintained the beautiful Italian architecture while creating a very warm and comfortable place to relax. I feel very lucky to have stayed there and I would love to stay there again in the future.

Well, I enjoyed my accommodation. It suited me by way of size of the room, closeness to shops and restaurants etc and to ferries etc as well as the extra bonus of a walk around to the studio !

Your little apt was delightful (except for the shower), and Lake Como was the highlight of our trip. It is so beautiful and so much more serene than the other places we visited.

I am so pleased we were able to rent the apartment. We felt right at home there and just moved in. Very clean and simple...The shower head needs some work, I wrapped a towel around it, as water shot over the door an onto the floor. I figured out the water heater, was there a note about turning that on. The plug to the refrigerator is near the trash can and we knocked it out, not knocked it up HA, most times we opened the trash can...so we moved the trash can...so handyman Jerry needs to fix the shower head...Great place recommended to all... Transportation worked out fine. There are plenty of options that could be utilized and I think most did use the public transportation.

Marvelous apartment, perfectly convenient to everything. Incredible art and ceiling fresco within. Roomy, comfortable. The hosts could not have been nicer or more accommodating. We shall return.

Casa Sherry is the perfect place to stay for anyone looking to feel at home on the lake. The painted ceiling and generous room size would be hard to match in any hotel. The kitchenette allows for preparing your own meals also which was a nice alternative to dining out everyday.

Comment Text: A very pleasant and convenient accommodation for the week. It is situated on the main floor of the Villa de Herra and steps away from the art studio. Despite its proximity, there is a separate entrance and appropriate privacy and security. The large main room is very clean and inviting with inspiring art and a grand painted ceiling. There are two beds making it suitable for one or two persons. The kitchen and washroom facilities are clean and up-to-date with the added bonus of a washing machine. Conchitina provides ample food and beverages for breakfast and there are several grocery stores within easy walking distance for other needs. Moreover, it is within 2-3 minutes walk of several restaurants, beach and the town center. Use of a MAC laptop computer as well as access to wireless connection for those bringing their own PC's are complimentary. DVDs of a few recent films and numerous books are provided for entertainment. There is no television which I consider a bonus - it forces one to enjoy the true pleasures of this area - the tranquility of a remarkably beautiful setting. I would have no hesitation in staying in this apartment should I return to Lenno - not only for the comfort and convenience but especially for the kind and welcoming nature of the proprietors.

Thank you for a wonderful experience. We loved the studio with all its art work and beautiful ceiling. The kitchen was well equipped and the welcome basket of goodies was delicious. The studio is conveniently located, the villa has a beautiful garden with breathtaking views of the lake. Lastly, Conchitina, thank you for the fun cooking class. You are a fantastic cook and gracious host.

Esther and I were so fortunate to be staying in your lovely studio apartment...I came home with many photos of the ceiling and still can't believe that I was sleeping under it. Some of our Lake Como week seems like a wonderful dream, including the ride in your Lucia. Thank you, dear friends, for a perfect week.  I hope to return as soon as I can.

This little apartment has been a cozy home away from home. It is hard to leave! I appreciate all your efforts to make this a happy memory because it sure is just that!

Conchitina, your food and hospitality added so much to the workshop experience! Our stay in the apartment also added to our joy, in that we fell asleep each night looking at that most wonderful of ceilings.

Thank you so much for a beautifully designed apartment. It was truly the perfect place to enjoy the Lake and its surrounding. We loved how Lenno was calm and peaceful, but with great access to Bellagio and the rest of the towns on the lake. I will definitely be recommending it to my friends and family.
