Spacious bright apartment with lake view terrace and private parking space

The host Mara was amazingly kind and willing to help in any way possible. We arrived much later than planned due to flight delays, and Mara contacted us several times to make sure that we were ok and made us feel welcome without no sign of irritation even if she was waiting for us the whole afternoon. Once we arrived she showed us our parking place which is included with the apartment and even offered to help us with our luggages. The apartment is spotlessly clean and spacious and much better that the pictures on the booking sites. There is everything needed to cook a god meal and enjoy it on the terrace overlooking lake Como. She gave us a lot of information and tips on the surroundings and things to see / do in the lake area. The area is great as a base to discover the lake area or to just spend the days relaxing and going to the nearby beach(5 min). There are buses and boats serving the area but we had a car which is even better as it is more flexible. There are a couple of restaurants on either side of the apartment and there is even a local supermarket that has everything. It is of course much cheaper to stop by at Lidl or Aldi in Como city and do the shopping there. Overall a great host, clean, spacious and well equipped apartment with a parking place and an amazing view over the lake and we will definitely recommend it, would love to come back again.

Mara was a wonderful host that met us to show us our home away from home. Super clean and sparkly. Outdoor patio viewing the lake was beautiful and the moon light was glistening off the lake was a welcome treat.Close walkable market perfect for picnic, pizza with outdoor patio over cliff with a stellar 180 degree lake view is a must stop. The little beach accessible by stone stairs was a lovely little view point and worth the time to explore. Thanks Mara for a perfect visit!

Mara was an amazing host, and Casa Mara was nice and spacious! Nice balcony and terrace which overlooks Lake Como. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely come back xxFatma

A lovely apartment by Lake Como. Lots of room, everything you need, including ceiling fans in every room to keep cool! We stayed with our young children and they loved the space too. Mara is a wonderful host, very friendly and helpful. Parking is convenient and right outside, a couple of options for mini markets and bars/restaurants within walking distance and slightly larger villages nearby with more options. We only stayed for a couple of days but would definitely return for longer.

Mara was an exceptional host. She met us at the rental, showed us the unit and gave us advice about the area. I would highly recommend Casa Mara.

Very nice host Mara:) Great location!! Beautiful view!!

Mara welcomed us in a private parking spot (VERY important in this area) with a happy smile and a lot of helpful tips (turned out there is a special gniocchi festival on August 18th!) to a very specious and equipped apartment with a very big terrace overlooking the lake! All the beds were freshly made and the atmosphere in the house was wonderful. A short walk from the apartment (281 stairs, we counted!) you’ll reach a great spot to enter lake Como, with grass and a bench, where you will join the locals for a dive to the cold and refreshing water. The location is great - a short drive to Como and Bellagio , but staying away from the crowds. The only disadvantage was the proximity to the road but there was not a lot of traffic at night. We highly recommend this apartment and Mera as an hostess

Beautiful spot! Very clean! Tons of room! Amazing view! Well equip kitchen, we were able to make some meals. We will definitely go back! Mara was a lovely person, very helpful!

No review could do justice to how amazing Casa di Mara is. Lake Como is heaven on Earth and Mara is the perfect host! The property is even better than the pictures and the view is more beautiful than you could believe. Mara was an absolute pleasure to work with as she went above and beyond what you expect from a VRBO host. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend anyone planning a trip to Europe to stay at Casa di Mara!

Mara was a great host. The apartment was spacious, clean, and with great views of the lake. Would stay again, thanks!

My family has stayed in alot of vacation rentals over the years and this was the best one yet. Mara met us the minute we arrived and guided me into our parking spot. She is so friendly and informative. The home was spotlessly clean, large and had everything we needed. The views were so beautiful. Bellagio was a short 20 minute drive and from there the car ferry took us across to each side of the lake. Wish we had more time to stay. Thanks Mara!
