We booked this apartment for three adults and one child as we were attending a wedding. We were so happy with the apartments they were clean and had almost everything you need including beach towels and a hairdryer. The kitchen area is limited but was perfect for us. The pool is small but was perfect for my two year old. Would return in a heartbeat. We got the train and and boat to reach the apartments and was a really cheap and convenient option.

Room / Apartment This hotel was separate from the main Hotel Lenno, which is short few minute walk away. The room was self catering with everything you need, cooker, fridge / freezer, glasses, cutlery, table and chairs etc. The room was spacious, modern in design and very clean. The from desk of this residence was not staffed while we were there, the residents are responsible for locking and opening the front door as we come in and leave, so be aware of this. It was no problem to us, but if you like staff at your hotel this will not be the case here. We walked to Lenno when we had any questions to ask, or emailed them lol. I could imagine this place being perfect for a family to rent out and occupy a room each in the whole apartment. There is ample parking outside and a small pool upstairs. The pool did have some moss in it, but we saw people suing it every day. The only down side was that the mattress on the bed was hard and we found this very uncomfortable. If you like a hard mattress though you will be happy here. The shop is again a few minutes walk away, but you may well have missed it! It is not well signed and all we say were a few people sitting outside a building, we ended up walking 20 mins to the supermarket down the road, only to see the shop a few minutes away from the villa on way back. TRANSPORT This is countryside location, be aware of this. There are buses that go to como and the other direction about 1 per hour. Bus - The buses are a little strange (to me as an English person) as you can pay AFTER you get off?? We did not know where to buy tickets from so the driver told us where once we got to our destination. You can buy packs of tickets and give them to the driver when you get on the bus. it was about 2.50 each way for an hours journey! Water Boat - There is fast boat that take about 30 mins and a slower one. The fast one is more but i cant remember the price. The stops right in front of Hotel Lenno, so again just a few minutes walk away. Taxi - taxi to como centre is going to cost you about 80. Hire a car - be well aware the roads here are not the the faint hearted, they are tiny, often only one car can pass at a time, huge lorries and coaches are alongside pedestrians (as there is no payment for most of the way) and vehicles constantly have to hitch into little corners to make another vehicle pass. although I've been driving for twenty years, i would not consider driving here. Walking - there are walking routes to some of the tourist villas, Balbianello is only 15 mins walk maximum. And another villa is about 40 minutes walk away. Again be aware of these roads, they are not for the faint hearted either. There is no pavement on most of the roads around here, so you are walking in the road with lorries and coaches, vans and cars. My heart was in my throat constantly. Where your route allows you can walk alongside the river which is beautiful, or up in the hills which again is beautiful but hard work - go dressed for a workout!! The hills are steep, trainers and shorts needed. BREAKFAST Breakfast was at Hotel Lenno, quite ample, a range of cold meats, crossaints, breads etc. the only hot thing though was boiled eggs, which you put into a pot of boiling water yourself. It would have been lovely to have an omelette or fried eggs etc. STAFF Staff at Lenno were more than helpful. Polite, happy to explain things in English (apologies for my lack of Italian) happy to give tips and advice. I could not fault them. WIFI - the wifi did not work in our rooms at Residence Lenno, but with the new European laws we were able to use our minutes from our English contracts with no extra charges, this was very useful when we went out walking. Overall this location was great. Would definitely stay here again, and would recommend to others.

Part of the Albergo Lenno hotel and just up the road. These are self contained apartments which have a small swimming pool on the roof, ideal for a quick dip. Apartments themselves were spacious enough for our family of 4 with a main room, bathroom and balcony. Effective air conditioning which was a must. Kitchen had a fridge, hob and enough utensils for our stay. Staying here meant we could use the larger pool at the hotel too. Staff at reception were very helpful and also provided lots of information prior to our stay. Parking at the residence is a bit limited but we always found a space. Location is great with a less than 5 minute walk to the lake, ferry terminal and restaurants. Supermarket is only 2 minutes by car or 10 minute walk. Be aware of the €50 final cleaning fee applied to your bill when you depart. Great location field exploring Lake Como.

“4 nights in Lenno!”

We stayed in a standard apartment room (for 2 people) We where in room 14 - on the first floor. The room had a small kitchenette, double bed, tv and a lovely bathroom. Room was really clean and tidy.

We stayed in a standard apartment room (for 2 people) We where in room 14 - on the first floor. The room had a small kitchenette, double bed, tv and a lovely bathroom. Room was really clean and tidy. The room had its own door leading out to the pool which was great - nobody else's room had this! (We visited in August and nobody seemed to use the pool other than us!) so it was like our own private pool. Check in and breakfast is at Algerbo Lenno which is a few mins walk away. The apartments are only a few mins walk away from the Lake, up a small hill.
