Foresteria Lombarda La Spiaggia

Absolutely out of this world stay with a beautiful genuine family. Marco and Chiara are one of the best hosts we have ever had and we travel often.. literally nothing is too much trouble for them. We felt like family. The attention to detail with the accommodation, breakfasts and candlelit dinners were immaculate. I totally recommend the tagliatelle with porcinni mushrooms which Marco collects himself from the beautiful mountains. Chiaras Tiramisu is also out of this world. Marco is great at suggesting iteniaries and speaks excellent English. Lierna is quiet peaceful with great access to the busier areas of Varenna Bellagio etc.. I strongly recommend anyone to stay with Marco and Chiara. We will return, without a shadow of a doubt and have made great friends with Marco. Thank you once again for helping us make great memories 🪻❤️

Nothing. Everything was perfect 🫴🏽

Location was calm and peaceful, 20 minutes by walk to train station, where you can enjoy beautiful views on the way. Marco is the best host ever, he gives a lots of helpful informations. Both him and Kiera are amazing people and they did make sure our stay was splendid. Breakfasts were delicious 😋 Everyday we had different meals with sweat & salty snack each day + eggs. The room was very clean with beautiful view. There is an option to book a dinner at their place and I would highly recommend this - the food was fresh, home made and the service is just outstanding 😍 Thank you Marco for our lovely stay and hopefully we will shall be back ☺️

Nothing - everything was just perfect 👌

I didn’t like from the beginning before starting my holiday.

I don’t like the coordination and solution among host, booking and me. If it was storm and I showed so many evidences about super bad weather alert even from Italian national forecast. But no one understands my situation.

The cleanliness was the only thing that felt good.

I recently stayed at Foresteria Lombarda La Spiaggia for three nights and was extremely disappointed with the experience. Here are the main issues I encountered: 1. **Poor Breakfast Quality:** The breakfast provided was of very low quality. There were no fresh options, only some buns and sandwiches with ham and cheese. Each person was allotted one boiled egg, and no additional sides were offered. Overall, it was a very disappointing start to each day. 2. **Small and Uncomfortable Room:** Despite booking a room with a lake view, the room was incredibly small. It was too cramped to enjoy staying there comfortably. 3. **Lack of Privacy:** The setup felt more like a dorm room than a private accommodation. The owner has an office just behind a wall and was constantly walking around, which made us feel like we were always being watched. The walls were very thin, and we could hear everything, making it impossible to relax. 4. **Damp and Uncomfortable Conditions:** There was no electrically heated radiator in the room, so our clothes and the entire room remained damp throughout our stay. It rained heavily for two days, and nothing could dry out, including the bathroom. 5. **Unappealing Area:** The surrounding area was not appealing at all. It's a small village with nothing to do and barely any restaurants. The "beachfront" is just a mooring place for boats with a rocky surface, not suitable for relaxation or enjoyment. 6. **Overpriced and Poor Value:** The owner seemed more interested in making money than providing a good experience. We were expected to order from his menu for evening dinner, which felt restrictive. The overall experience felt like a rip-off, considering the poor quality and high price. In conclusion, this stay might be suitable for older individuals who do not require much

Breakfast was freshly prepared each day, and there was always a good selection of eats allowing for any allergies. Good nutritious balance meals were eaten each day. Marco and Chiara the hosts were the perfect partnership for savouries and sweets. During our stay we had fantastic evening meals; again, everything was freshly sourced and produced to a very high standard. Marco was very knowledgeable about the area and offered great tips and advice which helped us plan our days of exploration of Lake Como and the Lombarda regions. His insights were priceless and he and his wife went the extra mile for us. Very warm and friendly hosts with cracking accommodation. Looking forward to a future visit to Foresteria Lombarda as there’s much more to see and do including hill walking and the many views of Lake Como.

Wish we could have stayed longer than planned as our time at this location was first class. Could not fault our stay, it was brilliant, well worth the money.

Breakfast was absolutely fantastic. Marco - the host - is absolutely fantastic, Italian who speaks fluent English! We got tons and tons of travel recommendations from Marco - where to go, how to get there, what is the absolute best to see and try. It takes 15 to 20 minutes walks from the train station to reach the hotel. So if you are not a big fan of walks, please consider this fact. We, however, enjoyed this little walks in the evening after the dinner.

- First lake row - Self-made breakfast every day Marco und Chiara are super friendly hosts, which make you feel comfortable all over the place!

Everything was exceptional, great was that we used both double rooms, which is the whole facility. The breakfasts and dinners were fantastique. The beach was public but more or less empty.

Quiet Area, Beautiful Scenery, Marco and Family made this an amazing trip with their hospitality, we will always stay with them when we come back! Also the breakfasts were amazing!!

Our four night stay was more like visiting with friends, Marco and family were excellent hosts, friendly, helpful, great cooks and nothing was too much trouble! We had the mountain view room that has a small balcony and I'm glad we had that one. The bed was super comfy and huge, the room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and the secure parking an added bonus. We had fantastic breakfasts and eat there on three evenings as the food was excellent, freshly prepared with vegetables from Marco's garden.

Absolutely nothing! we honestly cannot fault anything.
