Romantic Private Lake Como Cottage with breathtaking 180-degree lake view

This romantic stand-alone cottage offers stunning views and a private garden, ideal for rest and relaxation.

PROPERTY:
The first floor, with stone tile flooring and exposed wood beams, has a living area with a cushioned bench, a full kitchen, and a large terrace.
An outdoor table can be set up on the terrace for al-fresco dining.

The second floor has hardwood flooring, a slanted wood-beamed cathedral ceiling, and a large French window opening onto a cute little terrace.
There is one bedroom with an Italian "matrimoniale" bed (in between queen and king size, 163 cm/64"), and a bathroom with a bidet and shower.

PARKING:
There is no private parking at the property, but the little town has plenty of free public parking throughout. Depending on the time of day you may find one very close to the house, or a short walk away, at most a few hundred yards.
It has never been an issue for our guests.

FOOD/DINING:
This is a self-catering property - you will need to bring your own provisions or eat out.

Brienno is a very small town - it only has one great pizzeria and one upscale restaurant. However, in the town next door, Argegno, there is a lovely bakery, a small fruit/vegetable store, and a small grocery store.
For supermarkets, we recommend the Bennet supermarket in Como, or a good mid-sized supermarket in Lenno, both about 15 minutes away.
Mon-Thurs 7.30 am to 9 am there is a food truck with bread, cheeses, cold cuts, etc.

We have compiled a thorough list of many restaurant recommendations in the area, which you will receive upon booking.

GETTING HERE:
The Milan airports are both 40 min away.
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND RENTING A CAR because public transportation options are few and far between. No Uber or taxis. There are limited dining and grocery options within walking distance.

WHAT TO DO:
- Ideal a starting point for visiting the entire Lake region, with dozens of pretty towns.
- It is very close to Laglio (George Clooney's Villa) and to Cernobbio, with their fine restaurants.
- Boat-tours stop at the world-famous villas and their botanical gardens.
- Day trips to Como and Milan with their art and culture, restaurants, and shopping (designer outlets, silk scarves, and ties) are a must.

Ideal for a couple

NO WASHER/DRIER
NO FIREPLACE (only decorative)
PACK LIGHT!! The steps are steep.

Guests must share their ID (passport) with the owner before arrival because they must be registered with the local authorities within 24 hours.
It is a legal requirement in Italy.

Private Lake Como Cottage "Villa Lilia"
We recently stayed at Villa Lilia in Brienno, Lake Como. All reviews of the villa are totally correct! My wife and I were able to stay four wonderful nights. All the pictures in the listing at true and accurate. Lovely place with fabulous views looking across the lake at Nesso (from the bedroom balcony). The owner was "very" prompt in replying to our emails and questions. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Follow all the written directions from Lilla (after receiving your booking confirmation) and you can't make a mistake driving to Brienno. GPS works great. Also, I contacted the owner about boat rentals for Lake Como. Several options were provided. We prebooked our boat with the Turati Family and that experience was flawless. They are located very near by in the village of Argegno. Seeing the lake while on your private rental is a must! I will also be posting a review on their web site. www.rentaboat turati.com

Beautiful Property and Location
My husband and I recently stayed at Chalet Lilia for the second time. Our first stay was five years ago and we had dreamed since then of staying again. We were not disappointed! The property was just as we remembered: charming, beautiful, nestled in a quiet little town, and close to plenty of sites to see and activities to do. Our first visit was in summer. This time we visited in winter, but we stayed warm and cozy. Since it seemed water recreation was shut down for the season, we instead did quite a bit of hiking around the lake. There are lots of trails/options right near Chalet Lilia (and around the whole lake). We also saw some fabulous New Year's fireworks in Como. We did a lot of cooking during our stay. There are a few options for groceries within 20 minutes' drive and the kitchen was well equipped. We did make it out for some delicious pizza at a place just down the steps though. We will be back to Chalet Lilia again!

Great Location on Lake Como
What a wonderful stay! The Property itself was beautiful! It’s situated in a small town a short drive up the coast of Lake Como from the town of Como. The view from the property was breathtaking! The property itself was very clean and organized. The property has all the amenities that you might need for your stay - cooking, cleaning, grilling, showering and such. If you plan on staying here then you should know that there’s no grocery

Heaven on Lake Como
This little chalet offers enormous peace and tranquility. Named Chalet Lila, it easly becomes a home of comfort and joy seconds after settling in. My wife and I found ourselves taking in the views of the lake, the majestic mountains and coastlines. The openness of the chalet brings the natural beauty of Lake Como into every room. As serine as this amazing chalet is, it sits nessilied in the coastal village of Brienno. There's a wonderful laid-back pizza restaurant bar that opens in the evening, a ferry landing, a perch for swimming in the lake and a delightful meat, cheese and bread truck that arrives 5 days a week in the mornings. We found ourselves truly in love here and we look forward to returning every summer.

My fiance and I could not be more in love with this place. The view was incredible! We spent so much time on the balcony overlooking the lake. It was so romantic. The pizza restaurant down below was incredible, the best pizza we had in Italy! We hope to be back someday. You must have a car when you stay here. I am grateful that our host stated that from the get-go. If you are looking for a romantic, quiet and authentic place to stay to live out your Italian dream, this is it!

After the hustle and bustle of the regional high tourist villages, it was wonderful to come “home” to the little stone villa and enjoy the peace and views and sounds of Brienna, with a glass of wine, of course! Pack lightly. The 88 stairs are worth it!!!!

Brienno Lake Como - 14-18.07.22
We had a terrific 4 night stay at this cozy villa with a wonderful view of the Lake and centrally located on the West side about a 20 minute drive north of Como itself. Communications could not have been better as Carmen is local to provide any direct requirements while her daughter (Lilia) is accessible seemingly 24/7 to answer questions about the property, provide local guidance to any attractions - and just in-general to ensure you have all you need. We spent our evenings on the balcony directly off the bedroom that provided a superior view of the town of Brienno and the lake itself…it was THE best to be able to unwind taking it the beauty of the town and lake! There is a small pizza restaurant/bar about 30 yards from you that does NOT disappoint if you choose not to explore on a given day/evening. Be sure to keep the AC running during the summer months as the home gets plenty of sun until later in the afternoon…the hearty shutters for all windows and doors does a tremendous look in managing those otherwise warm temps. I would HIGHLY recommend a stay here for couples looking for a quaint and quiet holiday rest spot that retains a central location in the small town of Brienno… We will certainly call upon Lilia & Carmen on our next visit to Lake Como! Perfecto!

Dream Escape for romantic couples
This wonderfully kept just gorgeous little paradise makes everyone’s experience of the Lago di Como area at least twice as beautiful as you could have wished for !! The beautiful nested charming house has the absolute perfect views away from any street or tourist noises due to the fact that Brienno has all the major traffic passing through a tunnel behind the village!! The views to the church with the dark bluish/green lake, the steep mountains, boats water planes keep you from wanting to do much other than just sitting on the privat balcony of the master bedroom and taking it all in all day long…!! The privacy, the exceptional beauty of this so charming cozy house is just so unique! Having rented with VRBO for over 20 years and 4 years around the Lake Como & Lugano - this one is our new high standard!! Not to forget the owner/ manager - not a single wish remained undone, the gentle but 100% reliable support is priceless!!! (Note: we didn’t expect this lovely place to have Air-conditioning- and what a relieve and positive surprise coming to a rental place with the perfect condition to a comfortable sleep!) So by now we hope you trust us as much as we trust that you will love this house as much as we did!!! And that’s why we booked it for next year again :-) Congratulations to the wonderful hosts!!!

Magical Honeymoon Home
My new husband and I spent our honeymoon at Chalet Lilia and it was absolutely perfect in every sense! The home is so comfortable, the views are stunning and the convenience of having a kitchen was amazing. Brienno is also located just far enough outside Como that it is peaceful and tranquil, yet you can get to town and enjoy the tourism in just 20min. Lilia was so responsive throughout the reservation process and our stay and made everything so simple for us!! Definitely stay here if you are looking for a place around Lake Como.
