About this property

Island Garden - Tremezzina

Come stay in our Sweetest Studio! This is your get-a-way bolt hole with a glorious garden and the most amazing view!
Compact, sweet and comfortable - with everything you need, but we reckon you will spend most of your time in the garden!

Totally amazing location with an island view and situated directly on the lake-front.

You won't find anything as special or private as our little studio.

Island Garden Cassé is possibly our sweetest property. Compact studio house that offers all you could need, totally fitted out inside and a totally amazing position outside! It's the perfect base to come home to in the evening after a long day, touring the lake!
Directly overlooking Lake Como's only Island, rich in history and sights to visit only steps away.

This little studio is located in the garden of this historic villa. It was once a workers studio but has since been renovated into the sweetest accommodation.

The previous owners of the villa, were responsible for the first idea of the helicopter, the "ElicoPlano" and apparently the plans and designs were drawn up at the villa. After the war the ground floor of the property became a well know restaurant on Lake Como.

The area of Ossuccio is rich in history - the bell tower alone is worth a mention, beautiful and elegant, unique to Lake Como. The Isola Comacina, the only island of the lake, has historic ruins that have been lovingly renovated and can be visited with a guide or just wander the island by yourself.
Just next door to the property is the museum and information point for the island and Ossuccio that is well worth a visit.

Entering the garden, the Studio flat is to your left as is the area of your garden. A patio just in front with table and chairs, perfect to enjoy breakfast and meals outside and loungers under the splendid magnolia tree. The garden is a real relaxation spot to enjoy either with a book or a glass of wine whilst you take in the uninterrupted lake view and the cool breeze which is what we all need after a busy day discovering Lake Como!

The studio offers a fully equipped kitchen corner with 2 hobs for cooking, sink and all the kitchen equipment necessary to cook your Italian meals, breakfast or snacks! Small table and chair and comfortable sofa bed. A bathroom with shower, wc, basin, bidet and washing machine too.
Tv with digital channels and Wi-Fi are available.

Ossuccio is a small residential village, well served by public transportation, C10 bus takes you to Como south and to Menaggio north, the closest boat stop is in Lenno but there is a private boat service that runs in the spring and summer to the island, Villa Balbianello in Lenno and Bellagio.
Directly next door is the Lido of Ossuccio with lake access for swimming, along with a snack bar/restaurant that is very popular with the locals and that we recommend.
Shops and supermarkets in Lenno are approximately 5 minutes by car or 15 minutes walking. There is a small grocery shop down the road and the street market in Lenno on Tuesdays is definitely worth a visit. Stop off and have lunch at the numerous restaurants in Lenno.

You don't necessarily need a car as it is located near the bus stops but do take into consideration that walking will be involved! If you do come by car, parking is available up the hill or paid parking nearby.

A Cute and Authentic Place To Stay!

Kleine, gemütliche Unterkunft
Die Unterkunft ist klein und gemütlich, es gibt alles was mensch für ein paar Tage braucht, inklusive Öl, Essig, Tee, Kaffee und ein kleines willkommens Paket an Obst, Pasta und Snacks. Wundervoller Ausblick, privater Garten. Das Internet ist im Garten gut, in der Wohnung ist nur schwacher Empfang. Sehr zu empfehlen :).

Wonderful lakeside studio with garden
Small but well designed and furnished - plus the lovely garden and a useful starter kit of provisions. The studio stayed cool even in very hot weather, although the week we were there was so hot we did in the end find the fan useful at night. If you have a car or just want to sit in the garden by the lake then upgrade the location to excellent but if you want to buzz around the lake on the ferry then probably downgrade to OK because it's a bus ride to/from Lenno on the C10, which runs roughly every hour but doesn't coincide well with ferry times. Don't believe it if you hear it's an easy walk on the greenway - it's a pleasant but challenging walk on the greenway! The C10 provides good connections to the lakeside from Como to Menaggio - tickets from the nearby Bar Ristorante San Giovanni, who provide a friendly service. We found Ossuccio a bit of a desert for restaurants, although the Lido next door seems to be a possible option.

Private and well situated
This little studio property is comfortable and very well equipped. We prepared food most days and found pretty much everything we needed. There was a 'welcome pack' of food stuffs and tea, which was much appreciated. The Love Como representative was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to queries, allowing us to enjoy our break. The studio is well situated for swimming and in a beautiful and historic setting - gorgeous! Only negative is mosquitoes - we only got bitten during our trip whilst in the garden and/or studio. This is the down side to the pretty garden, they breed in the pot plant water troughs, so make sure you pack repellent. We used candles and coils to try to keep the biters at bay. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Perfect!
We loved the Dollhouse! Way better than what we expected- it's pretty and private, really cosy and clean and welcoming! The garden & view were the best parts- breakfast with a breathtaking view every morning. Easy to travel to Como, 45 mins on the bus (they're a bit tricky and unreliable though) There are beautiful places to see around Ossuccio too. Really really enjoyed our stay- would love to come back.
