Beautiful Views
This villa is a bit out of the way. But the views and the location are worth the short drive to get here. The villa sits on a hill overlooking the valley. With a church next door and a garage to park your car. This was the perfect stop over Easter weekend for me, my wife and 3 teenage daughters.

Amazing Stay
Our family of five had a wonderful stay. The house was lovely. We enjoyed the views and walking up to the village for Gelato and sitting in the one eatery enjoying a late bite to eat and a glass of wine. Everyone in the area super friendly! There is a large grocery store about 12 minutes away. We did get supplies to make two homemade dinners. We took a day trip to Varenna along Lake Como. We also drove into Milan. We did spend a day just relaxing in the house and walking the nearby trails. Highly recommend!

Amazing
Amazing is not a good enough word for this property. Sipping wine outside over looking the valley and grape vineyards was breathtaking. The little square had the greatest restaurants. And the hosts! They are so kind and ready to help. They met us in the square and helped take our luggage to the farmhouse. They provided a garage for our rental car. On the way out the owners helped us get out of there earlier than we told them we were. So grateful! The house had everything we could have needed for my family! The room upstairs was perfect for my 16 year old. The pullout couch was so comfortable to sleep on and will be contacting the owner for the brand! This is the perfect place to get away from the busy-ness of the bigger cities. Great 4 days we had and wished it was longer!

Perfect view but no joy to stay
Very nice place to stay in general. Location/ view / quality of the house all good but the host should not have rent it out to us during building construction works going on half the period we stayed there. We were forced to leave the property during the day due to continious loud noices and people walking through our garden. After complaining they only sent a whatsapp stating sorry to hear about it but it is nothing we can do about . And thats not nice we had no amue for the money we paid. Fewo did nothing as well for us

Charming and beautiful!
Excellent property carefully renovated using quality materials. The hosts were very responsive and delightful people. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend this location and property very highly. The photos in the listing accurately reflect the lovely property. As pointed out in the listing, there is a walk of 250 meters from where you can unload your luggage from your car. There is an authentic cobblestone path to the property which has a fantastic view over the countryside below. However, for those who may be challenged by walking up hill, you need to be aware that the cobblestone path is an aerobic opportunity when you decide to go into the town or to your car. It took some effort to adjust to the uphill walk when we went to explore the areas surrounding Montevecchia. Of course, we are in our 70’s so part of the challenge is related to our age so those in decent physical condition will likely have no problem with the walk but you do need to be aware that it is an uphill walk when you leave the property. We enjoyed having drinks on the lawn and taking in the wonderful views in addition to the lovely accommodations. Thank you, Cinzia, Massimo and Liana for making our stay perfect!!

A long weekend together with friends
We (a group of three couples) had a lovely stay in Montevecchia. The apartment was a good base for our day trips to the surrounding areas. Only thing we missed, was an adequate amount of toilet paper (only two rolls) and wine glasses (only three wine and three champagne glasses for six people). Also, there were no breakfast supplies for the first morning despite the promise given in the description of the apartment. As the weather was on our side and we managed to stay most of our visit outside, we didn’t have any use for the tv which was a good thing, as we couldn’t get any channels to work. It would also be a good thing to grease the hinges of the ground floor toilet as they squeaked quite a lot. It’s advisable for the future guests to acknowledge that the nearest food stores are quite far and only accessible with car (or bike). What we really appreciated was the friendliness and courtesy of Cinzia and Liana who helped to bring our luggage to and from the apartment and to find the parking for our car. Our overall rating would be 4+.

Un lugar increíble
Hemos pasado siete días en la casa de Cinzia y Liana y es exactamente como muestran las fotos. El lugar y las vistas son increíbles y la casa es muy acogedora. Además, estuvieron pendientes de cualquier consulta que les hicimos. Llegamos sobre las 11 de la noche a la casa y no hubo ningún problema porque estaban esperándonos, incluso la salida no tuvieron problemas para que la retrasáramos un poco. Si tengo que poner una pega es que tienes que moverte en coche si quieres ir a cualquier sitio. La casa dispone de un parking cerrado en el pueblo, pero nosotros que íbamos con 2 coches, el otro teníamos que pagar por aparcar, y es muy caro, es 1,50 la hora de 10 a 10 de la noche. Excepto para ir a Como, las visitas a Milán y a Monza las hicimos en tren, en coche puedes llegar a la estación de tren de Cernusco/Merate (10 minutos) y desde allí moverte fácilmente y muy barato a otros sitios.

We waren erg onder de indruk van de schitterende setting en het mooie huis. De eigenaren hebben ons gastvrij ontvangen. De meeste toeristen die hier in Montevecchia komen flaneren zijn Italianen zelf, dus dat zegt genoeg! Prachtige uitzichten over de heuvels met wijnranken en de Povlakte.

Geweldig verblijf in het idyllische Montevecchia
Wij hebben genoten van ons verblijf in het authentieke vakantiehuis in Montevecchia. Het vakantiehuis is zoals de beschrijving van VRBO. Het waanzinnig uitzicht is niet te vatten op een plaatje die moet je zelf zien. De beheerders zijn uiterst vriendelijk. Leuke uitstapjes naar Como, Lecco, Milaan en vanaf de woning zijn mooie wandelingen te maken. Wij komen graag terug.
