Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Carate Urio

Very nice house at altitude in a charming, quiet and serene environment with a great view. Very well equipped, very clean and comfortable beds. Beautiful hikes around or from the house and close to Lake Como ( 30 minutes). Electricity by solar panels that worked very well during our stay with a week of good weather. Note that there is no fridge but the house remains cool and we have a "natural fridge" room in the cellar provided for this purpose. The family owner of the place was very nice and responsive and took us from the nearby village of Péglio, where we went to the house for the last 20 minutes of climb. Thank you for hosting. The last 10 minutes are via a more technical path but is no problem for a good driver. We loved our stay.

We had a fantastic stay with Nicole and Christian. The house is very spacious and easily fit our group. It is designed in a way to feel very private, and you have a nice big balcony in front with a stunning view of the city, the lake, and the mountains across. The footpath to walk to downtown passes right by the house and there is a bus stop nearby, so it’s easily accessible from Locarno. The house was very clean, and we did not hear any traffic from the road. We really enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, which had everything we needed to make our meals. Nicole and Christian were very responsive, accommodating, and easy to reach. We’d love to stay here again!

Fantastic, private and romantic stay. Be aware that a little walking is involved- but well worth it! Beautiful location and super well appointed house in fantastic condition! Would highly recommend a stay here!

Great stay in comfortable accommodation so convenient.

We had a wonderful stay. Michele and his family were so friendly and helpful. We took our dog, and Michele sister as a vet was able to provide the services needed for our return trip. Michele also offered a taxi service to help us get our car from the garage and my mum to the train station. We can’t thank him enough for making our stay go well. We were able to walk down to the lake edge, the local restaurant the Blue Shell was amazing and we loved going to the little local shop also in walking distance for supplies.

It was amazing 🤩 We had a great time staying at Mary and Marcos's home. Everything is lovingly decorated and so it was not bad that it almost only rained during our stay. We turned on the fireplace and it was so cozy. In good weather, the view is simply picturesque. Thank you for this great time!

Fabio is a great host, and provided accurate information at each step right from pre check-in until checkout, including local recommendations, itinerary etc. The house is exactly as described in the ad. It is very clean, and well maintained. It has very good heating with both gas heaters and air conditioning if needed. The kitchen has all the necessary equipment including a selection of coffee and tea. The balcony offers a good view of the mountains around. The parking space is very convenient just next to the house. The house is conveniently located in a calm surrounding and is a short walk to lakeside, pastries and restaurants. Menaggio is also close to the swiss border, so lake Lugano is just a half hour drive. Overall, Fabio has made sure that the house provides a great stay experience. Highly recommended.

There were four of us with a dog in the property and we really enjoyed our stay. The house is well-equipped, lovingly furnished and communication with Norbert was straightforward and quick. We can definitely recommend the Rustico. 🤗

Incredible flat with one of the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen. Peaceful, cosy and comfortable. Very clear instructions on directions and checking in. Very responsive and proactive host. Highly recommended.

Milena was a great host – very friendly and helpful. The place was extremely clean, the kitchen perfectly equipped, the surroundings beautiful with great hiking opportunities. Ascona and Locarno are within easy reach. The flexibility when checking out was particularly pleasant. Absolutely recommendable, we will gladly come back!

Everything was as expected. Good communication with each other.

Nertila was responsive throughout and was really friendly and helpful with the check-in. The place is lovely and really clean.

An extremely friendly, helpful, chilled and emphatic hostess made our stay in the very well-equipped apartment pleasant. We loved the sensational view and the many pets ( two cuddly dachshunds and four ?cute cats ). The journey to the last 600 meters and the steps to the apartment took some getting used to. The pool is tasteful and well laid out. Due to the rather bad weather for this season, however, it was little used by us. Restaurants etc are not easily accessible on foot! There is a footpath to Gravedona, but with a full stomach, I don't think so great. But you can cook and dine there wonderfully when you have taken care of yourself in the Iperal in Dongo (best on the way there). We can definitely recommend the accommodation! Thanks Silvia!!

Simple but very well-stocked apartment, cozy and in a great position. In the area there are beautiful walks to do, starting directly from the house, very panoramic and quiet.

Stefano was a very friendly, helpful and accommodating host. The apartment is large and beautiful, super centrally located. The parking was a bit cumbersome but still practical. We were able to get into the apartment earlier and also stay longer when checking out, which was great. He has provided all the children's utensils. We'd love to come back

Great apartment (just as you see on the listing), clean and comfortable in quiet area. Wonderful view. Host responded quickly to queries and not only collected us from the ferry but arranged for us to be taken back to the ferry the day we left. There is a pasticceria and decent pub with pub food close by. Good supermarket 10 minutes walk away. Highly recommended. My next comment has nothing to do with the listing but general information for other guests: short term rentals like Airbnb in Bellagio seem to be located well away from the seafront where restaurants, shops etc are located. The distance is walkable (about 20 minutes in and 30 minutes back again) but down and up steep steps each time. Not for anyone with mobility issues. My advice is don't walk on the roads (not safe) but locate and use the narrow cobbled pathways along the route. Check with host for exact locations.

We enjoyed our stay at this modern and well equipped house. It offers beautiful lake views and even in Winter we could sit outside and enjoy the stunning sunsets. The place had everything we needed and communication with the host and co-host was very easy. Definitely recommended!

Beautiful surroundings, post bus right at your doorstep. (This is how you can leave the car.) Large house, fully equipped with everything you need! Scorpions can be expected:-) very nice, large outdoor area. Mike was super friendly, will get back to you right away. Absolutely uncomplicated handover. We have enjoyed our holidays!

House and location were very nice. 2 Families with 4 boys had really good stay there. We really loved the lake view and peace of that place.

We absolutely loved our stay in this gorgeous apartment, we really enjoyed the private terrace and outdoor seating areas. The location is ideal for walking into the centre of the village or for taking ferries around the lake, and with a car was ideal for driving up into the hills. We particularly appreciated the more traditional decor which added to the character of the house and made our stay feel authentic. Thank you so much Roxana and family, we hope to visit again.

The house is huge and beautiful with an amazing view

We were two families that met to spend New Year’s on Lake Como. We could not have asked for a more beautiful place! The bedrooms were spacious and private, plenty of bathrooms, well appointed. The kitchen was great - we cooked our own NYE dinner! But best of all was our panoramic view of the fireworks as we welcomed in 2025 from the penthouse 4th floor! Thanks for being such great hosts!!

We loved our three night stay at Nicha’s place in Menaggio. Wonderful decor, full of colorful and interesting art and textiles and everything we needed to cook most of our meals, feel comfortable and at home. We’ve been traveling in Italy for almost 3 weeks and it was great to have such a homey space to call our own for a few days. We loved being in the old castle neighborhood and even loved the cobblestone uphill walk from town. Beauty around every corner. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Great place to stay in Lake Como in a quiet village with beautiful views of the lake!
