Imagine living at the beginning of the 20th century on Lake Como. People moving from village to village either by boat or carriage. It took days and days to get from Como to the far north end to reach and cross the Alps, with goods or livestock.

Ossuccio developed as a halting post and the house "Galbiga" was the road-inn where to shelter for the night and have a meal. Who arrived by "comballo" (a large transport boat with one square sail) moored in the little harbour at 20 meters from the house.

"Inn-Galbiga" became "Casa Galbiga" (360 square meters), a precious house. It has a private fenced garden with barbecue area and is divided in 3 apartments one on each floor. Each apartment sleeps 4 in 2 double bedrooms, either with balconies, backside roofed terrace or open terrace . All with front view overlooking lake and mountains. Ask for detailed description of each apartment.

The villa is accurately furbished partly with family antiques. The kitchen and bathrooms are however in a modern Italian design. Each apartment can be rented separately.
We have a jetty with 2 boats to rent and enjoy the lake or a speed boat (with skipper) and would be happy to arrange lake trips for you, ask for availability and prices.

Ancient 3 Stores Villa Completely Renovated with 3 Apts
5/5

Great hosts and beautiful apartment

Guest: Boulder Couple (Boulder, Colorado, 80303 US)
Date of Stay: 05/19/10 Review Submitted: 06/03/10

We spent 4 1/2 wonderful days in the top apartment of Casa Galbiga. The location is excellent: a short and pretty walk, through a picturesque old medieval quarter, to Lenno for the well-supplied super market, fine restaurants, and good shops. Lenno also is one of the principal stops for the ferry lines, and this means that Como, Bellagio, the Villa Carlotta, and Varenna are within easy access. The apartment itself is spacious and beautiful: handsome tiled floors, super shower in bathroom (plus a tub), solid and attractive traditional furniture. But best of all, a spectacular view of the lake....endlessly interesting boat traffic and the twinkling lights of Lezzeno on the other shore. Finally, the hosts are truly helpful, warm and friendly people, who made us feel completely welcome. We hope that we can come back some day.

Owner response:Thank you very much for your descriptions. We think it will be helpful for the future guests.
