Villa Lina is a bright, airy, cheery space -- the perfect lakeside getaway. The views of Lake Como from the expansive windows and petite balcony were fantastic. The apartment is the second floor of a villa with windows on three sides for those magical views and fresh breezes. The furnishings are comfortable with a modern vibe. The bedroom is small but you will spend most of your time in the living area gazing out at the ever changing views of Lake Como. We couldn't help but think that Villa Lina would also be a perfect getaway for a solo traveler or one seeking a creative retreat. It was romantic and cozy for two travelers and there is a pull-out sofa for an additional traveler if needed.
Finding Villa Lena, located in Lezzeno, was easy and parking was plentiful. We were warmly greeted and the hosts left a welcome basket with pasta, sauce, crackers and chocolates and water for our first evening. The pasta dinner was very helpful since there were no markets open in the area for two days. Our advice would be to pick up supplies in Como or Bellagio, before your arrival at Villa Lina, if you plan to arrive on a Sunday or a local holiday. The kitchen is small but well-appointed with all the utensils, appliances and condiments we could use. There are several restaurants within a short drive. Our stay at Villa Lina was more than we could have hoped. We hope to return to Lake Como and Villa Lina in the near future.
