The property was in pristine condition with fantastic amenities. The location (Vassena) was convenient to shops, restaurants, and the ferry line. The scenery was surpassingly beautiful. Overall, a wonderful experience at this property.

Villa Apollo

My family and I were so impressed with Villa Apollo. It offered easy access by car to Bellagio for our daughter's wedding. The villa's surroundings were truly breathtaking and we had some unforgettable times dining out on the lake view terrace. Villa Apollo was immaculate throughout and really well presented. Luxurious inside and out! The kids especially loved the pool, games room and bowling alley! We would love to come and stay in Villa Apollo again - maybe next year for our son's wedding, let's hope so! Thanks for a fantastic stay.

I was not allowed to stay at the house. I received 48 hours notice

Horrible. How is it legal to give 48 hours notice that the house is no longer available. They offered me a smaller house on the other side of the lake. I was forced to accept because I had arrivrd and was in Venice with my family

Villa Apollo

What a place! Villa Apollo was such a dreamy place to stay on Lake Como this July. It offered a really sunny and secluded location for our family vacation and the views were just amazing. We were just a 15 minute drive from Bellagio so we were right where the action was! Thanks so much!

Villa Apollo was superb! It provided us with a great lake view oasis where we enjoyed plenty of alfresco dining and entertaining. It was a truly fabulous venue to stay in for 2 weeks! We're big fans of Lake Como!
