Villa Wirnica Lake Como

The breakfast was great, and the garden is beautiful. The host and all the staff were amazing — very friendly and gave a lot of great recommendations. The boat tour is highly recommended.

Our room was a bit noisy, so we could hear people outside and upstairs.

Very nice breakfast. Tranquil ambience inside the property which teleports you 3 centuries to the past

Would have been better to stay in the second floor suites , unfortunately they were not available during our stay

Fabulous hotel and lovely and attentive staff, this is a little piece of history so a really unique and lovely treat to stay here. The room was comfy and had everything we needed, beautiful views of the lake and gardens. Breakfast is a lovely selection of local fare. Barabara and co. are superb hosts and will recommend and arrange dinner and local activities and give you the full information on the history of the property. We had a really lovely weekend so thank you Wirnica!

Not many really decent restaurants within walking distance. There is one very near which was fantastic though. Fine for us as only a weekend break but if you were staying longer you'd need to drive, or pay for taxis which aren't cheap

Wirnica is an experience. The whole stay was a magnificent and true experience. We have visited many countries with my wife, many places, many hotels, resorts, properties etc. This is definitely on our top 10 list ever. The staff were all great people and extremely accommodating, from Massimo to Guia and the lovely ladies providing our kid with toys, they were all fantastic. This is essentially a manor dating back hundreds of years with its beauty still intact. The gardens are massive and magnificent, a feast for the eyes. If you are using a car then the place is a hidden gem and just a short drive from the main villages that attract massive crowds, so perfect to avoid all that. All in all this was an unforgettable experience and we loved every second of it. We truly plan to visit again in the near future. A big thank you Wirnica team, Guia and Massimo!

All was perfect.

Staff are nice. Place is great. I like it

Wirnica is a unique and very special place. We felt extremely lucky to stay in Guia's ancestral home, where the paintings on the wall have a direct connection to the host and the fabric of this ancient building has been lovingly conserved. Guia and Tommy made us feel so welcome, being on hand to help with enquiries, recommending where to eat and making us feel so much at home. All members of the Wirnica Team we met were lovely (especially Ollie the dog!). The grounds are superb, with fabulous views day and night and the added bonus of the pool to lounge by if all you are looking for is some downtime. If you are looking to make Wirnica a base to explore the more popular Lake Como sights then a car is needed. However, if walking is your preferred mode of transport, then there are plenty of fabulous walks to be had. We were on foot and had a wonderful time. We followed the footpath around the lake and up to the charming town of Lecco where we took a speedboat trip around the lake and experienced the fabulous Sunday Market. It was a joy to return to our 'home away from home' every evening - to our large room and exceptionally comfy bed. The breakfast was fresh, delicious and plentiful and with a choice of indoor or al fresco dining it was the perfect way to start each day. We have come away with very special memories of our stay at Wirnica. It's a B&B with a massive difference. The building is unique and the people exceptional. Thank you Guia and Tommy for making us so welcome at Wirnica.

Having read other reviews of Wirnica, I do understand that some people found the room we stayed in dark. It is dark but it is old and authentic, so we were expecting it to be quirky. I guess we went with that expectation and therefore had no issues with the low natural light levels. We also found the bathroom arrangements to be no problem either. It is literally just outside the bedroom door, so no great distance to walk. There was some noise from the street as there is a little car park just outside but nothing we found to be problematic.
