Good morning Ms Pinuccia, I just thought I would drop you a note regarding our visit to Lenno. I think when we went thru the tunnel on the Lake road and saw the Lake we were all in awe.. we knew it would be beautiful, bit it was way beyond that.. wow! Our time at the villa and in Lenno was a trip to be remembered for a lifetime. My young grandkids, my two daughters and my wife did not want to leave, the beauty that was viewed each day made it difficult to return home. The Villa is magnificent and allowed us to relax and enjoy our two weeks. Silvana was helpful and easy to talk to. Anna made dinner for us, enjoyed by all. My daughter was engaged while there, who knows, maybe a wedding in Como! Great trip, Great Villa, hope to return. regards, Bob

Giuseppina, Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at Villa Florines. We really enjoyed our week there and can't wait to return sometime. My wife and I are already talking about a 10-year wedding anniversary trip in a few years. We'll see. The villa is beautiful and much larger than anticipated. The rooms were perfect for the 5 of us. We were all very comfortable and had enough space to enjoy our privacy when needed. The gardens are gorgeous. We spent the majority of our time outside enjoying the perfect weather and lots of wine. Thank you again, I'll certainly recommend Villa Florines to anyone going to Lake Como. Grazie mille. ciao! James

Hello Pinuccia, just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the opportunity to stay at your beautiful home. We all were impressed at the cleanliness and good taste of the villa. Not to mention the breathtaking view. In fact we found the whole Lake Como area breathtaking. More than exceeded our expectations. The week flew by and this was one of the best vacations we ever had. Thanks again Rudi Acevedo

We adore Villa Florines! The vistas from the 2nd and 3rd floor bedrooms are amazing! The food and the service at il Cris, Trattoria Santo Stefano and Silvio ( outside of Bellagio in Loppia) were sensational. Check out Dino Market for the fresh pasta at the deli section the tabacco and newspaper shop across the street have everything one would need to complete the perfect holiday. Mary and Eric Lindquist What a perfect setting for a holiday in Lake Como! After a long day of sightseeing it was wonderful to come "home" and enjoy relaxing in such a lovely home. Thank you for sharing it with us. Cathie Geddeis - Piedmont, California With Cathie Geddeis, the Lindquist and friends we enjoyed a wonderful week's stay at Villa Florines. We explored not only Lenno but many of the other towns that surround Lago di Como. We shopped at the local markets and ate at many restaurants. This is the quiet season at Como and we appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and the cool but sunny days in this part of Italy. Bill and Judy Fujimoto , Berkeley , California
