Wonderful stay on Lake Como. Easy to navigate as the ferry-boat stop is right down from the parking. Fun pizzeria/bar on the square and a breakfast bar around the corner. Grocery store a short drive from the apartment (10” at most). Apartment was well equipped and comfortable. Communication was great!
You can’t get any closer to the lake than this apartment! The view is incredible, the beds are comfortable, everything you need is provided. The bottles of wine and water were a nice addition - thank you Paolo! The ferry stops right below the apartment making travel to other parts of the lake easy. We really enjoyed our time in Lierna.
Couldn’t have picked a better flat or place to stay with my family of 4! Spacious rooms, stunning views, at the edge of the lake, steps away from the boat dock & smell of local restaurant below!! Small town yet minutes from larger areas & Bellajio by boat. Host was so helpful with suggestions of places to go as well as with transportation & boat rental information. If we are lucky to get back to Lierna, on Lake Como we will definitely reach out to Massimo/Max & Paolo for another stay & much longer!!
Our stay in Lierna was amazing. Beautiful area and more peaceful than the busy communities nearby. SUPER easy to get around. Water ferrry or train... both are on regular schedules and convenient. 2 favorite places in Lierna include the gelato shop at the end of the drive and the bakery across the street. Wonderful people live in Lierna.
Clean, spacious, location, location location. Lierna is quiet village with wonderful locals which suited our stay.
Small problem at check in which was solved within minutes so no problem. Thanks guys
We had a nice stay in Lierna. The views out the windows are beautiful. The bathroom is large, shower is small. Kitchen has most necessities for making your own food. The views and proximity to the lake are what attracted us to this place. Lierna is a small town, doesn’t feel touristy, doesn’t get crowded at the ferry like the bigger towns. Train stop is a quick 5 minute walk away. If you want a nice quiet spot on the lake, with proximity to bigger places this is a good place!
Lovely, spacious and clean apartment. We were very happy we chose this apartment. Lierna is out of the way of the main tourist area. We found it accessible easily enough from Lecco and Varenna by train and by ferry to and from Bellagio. The area is very picturesque and there are good dining options within walking distance. Communication from the host was excellent.
The apartment was nice and comfortable. The views on the lake were very nice. A balcony would have made it super!
The only negative is the building entrance and stairs are quite old …
Only thing I would improve would be to have a kitchen with a few spices and things to make a meal.
We did however fully enjoy our stay with the ferry at the door. The ferry doesn’t stop here very often in a day, just 3 or 4 times, so you have to time your outings.
We stayed at Paolo's property on Lierna on Lake Como and we had a wonderful time! The location is breathtaking! Overlooking the lake , clean and quiet. You have parking available on the premises. The apartment is suited with everything you need! Paolo is a 5 stars host! !!!!!!
This was a fabulous apartment right at the water's edge on Lake Como. The apartment was very spacious and clean and even nicer than the photos. We loved that it was not in one of the main (crowded and noisy) tourist towns such as Varenna or Bellagio, yet was a short train ride or ferry ride from either one. Everything we needed was just a short walk outside the front door - gelato shop, bar/restaurant, grocery store and cafe. But best of all was the gorgeous view out the windows onto the lake. It was also just a short walk (down hill) from the train station.
One thing to be aware of is it is on the third floor (by US standards). So if you have heavy luggage, be prepared to haul it up the stairs. As with most older buildings in Europe - there is no elevator.
I would not hesitate to stay in this apartment again, should we return to Lake Como in the future.
We had a wonderful stay at this property for 2 nights. Property was clean, quiet, accurate listing photos, beautiful view. Lierna is a bit off the beaten path, however the quietness of the area was nice. Also, the boat launch to get to other areas of como is right outside the apartment- very convenient. Communication with Paolo was easy- check in/out, suggestions. Would stay here again.
Wir waren 10 Tage in der schönen Wohnung die direkt am See gelegen ist und über einen wunderbaren Ausblick verfügt. Man fährt erst über einen Parkplatz um dann durch einen Rundbogen zum privaten Parkplatz der Wohnung zu gelangen (links, gelb markiert). Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und auch eine Flasche Wein und Wasser waren zur Begrüßung vorhanden. Der Vermieter war zu jeder Zeit sehr gut erreichbar und hilfsbereit. Lierna ist sehr ursprünglich und hat einige kleine tolle Läden. Große Einkäufe für Lebensmittel kann man in Mandello del Lario erledigen. Wir waren quasi jeden Tag direkt vor der Tür schwimmen und nutzten auch die Fähre die direkt vor den Wohnung abfährt. Einziger Punkt den man wissen sollte, ist der Geräuschpegel der sich durch das Restaurant und das An- und Abfahren der Gäste ergibt. Wir kommen gerne wieder, es war ein toller Urlaub.
Absolutely fantastic stay in Lierna. The photos of the apartment do not do it justice, its wonderfully well equipped and the views are just incredible, and Paolo was very helpful, making checking in and out a breeze.
However its the location that makes it so perfect. absolutely everything you need is on your doorstep, from beaches, shops, ice cream shop, bar and restaurants to transport options for exploring Lake Como by boat and train. Lierna has everything you need but isn't at all busy like many of the larger towns around the lakes. We drove here from the UK, so it was lovely to have a whole week where we didn't need to use our car once. We hope to come back to Lake Como again and if we do this will be where we stay!
Our host recommended we rent a boat, and explore the lake. This is what we did, and it was the most wonderful way to spend the day. Lierna is off the beaten path- which we enjoyed. Authentic Italy.
I loved everything about. The area is breathtaking and relaxing, the place was clean and close to the train station. We overpacked and our only issue was having to climb 2 flights of stairs with all our luggage.
We would come back.
We had a wonderful time in Lierna. The photos are completely accurate which is rare these days. The flat was perfect. Big, super light with windows everywhere and the most amazing views over the lake. Real picture windows. Well equipped flat with welcome wine and water and extras left by previous guests. Amazing position: access to the lake, restaurant, a piazza, lovely shops - delicatessan, supermarket, post office, friendly cafes and the station is a few minutes away. Great walks starting from the village, 10 minute train journey to Varenna, beach a short walk away.The host was excellent checking that all was ok and returning calls promptly. We felt very at home and didn't want to leave. Thoroughly recommend.
