La Serra - Modern greenhouse on lake Como
Cozy villa on lake Como. The structure has been completely renovated and refurbished in 2021. The all-window front of the house gives a great view of the lake, and the terrace offers the opportunity to have a meal enjoying the relaxing garden.
Several amenities are present to give you the best possible experience; barbecue, air-conditioning, fireplace, Jacuzzi, and private berth with boat rental are among them.
The villa develops on two floors. The ground one features a bedroom, a bathroom, and the living room, with an open-space kitchen. This floor also has direct access to the garden.
The first floor is composed of the second bathroom and the second bedroom.
On one side of the garden, the jacuzzy and the external shower are present, while on the other side you can find a barbecue area with a small table.
On the side of the villa there is a large porch. It can be shaded for the best comfort and it can also be completely closed if the weather becomes a little bit more chilly.
The communal gardens allow our guests to reach the lake for a dip.
The villa, the garden, the jacuzzy, and the barbecue area are private. You will be the only one accessing them.
A private box is also available for the car. The box is not inside the property, but it is only 200 meters from it. The car can be temporarily left in front of the house, at the side of the road, while unloading the luggage.
The jacuzzi is available all year around. We completely change the water after every check-out. During the winter season, it might take some time before the water reaches back the desired temperature, so you may need to wait until evening. Please keep it covered to speed up the process.
A private berth is available to dock a boat. You will be able to explore the lake without moving the car. We can help arranging a boat rental.
We are always available via phone. We will answer as soon as possible.
As we are locals in Como, we prepared a list with our personal suggestions about the area. You will find it upon your arrival, but do not hesitate to ask.

Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone but La Serra is amazing. The location in Urio couldn’t be better, 25 minutes to Como or the many wonderful villages north like Lenno, Tramazzo etc. The villa is modern and overall well appointed. A few more basics would be helpful ie dishwasher tablets but when I mentioned to Nicola, they magically showed up the next day. Upstairs bedroom has spectacular lake views, smaller bathroom, downstairs has very good views and bigger bath and shower. The dining room chairs are currently like bean bag sacks and the owners seem inclined to replace them with regular chairs. Beds are very comfortable and suffice linens. Outside dining area is fantastic with Electra roof and side transparent shades for keeping bugs out or using the A-C outside. Hot tub is small but a very nice extra. Overall this is a special property for 5 days or longer and we hope to return. Heaven on earth!

La Serra Carate Urio
Property was true to it's VRBO listing; scenic, well equipped for 4 travelers and convenient to other LakeComo attractions. Walks can be a bit risky given theauto traffic and lack of pedestrian pathways throughthe area, but still enjoyable.

Views to die for
La Serra is a beautiful property, set in amazing gardens and with views to die for.
It’s special to be so close to the lake and have a patio and garden to enjoy the views from.
Nicola is a fantastic host and went out of his way to help with bookings and recommendations, even calling a restaurant to assist with a difficult booking.
One of the showers was damaged when we arrived and he attended the property immediately to arrange repairs. He was very genuine and friendly and provided us with lots great information about the area. We loved our stay.

Lovely, modern home
This was a really great property which was exactly as described. The home was clean, beds were extremely comfortable and the view was spectacular! The host was very attentive to our questions and needs. He was a pleasure dealing with. Two things to note are that while there is a washer, there is no separate dryer. Also, the location requires some extra planning for transportation. We had a great time here!

I had a fantastic time in La Serra with my family. The accommodation was in a beautiful location and the villa was at a very high standard with excellent views over the lake. This is a great location to explore the lake and I would be happy to recommend La Serra to anyone who wanted to explore the area.

La Serra
We loved our 3 nights at La Serra. The accommodations fit our family of four well. I liked staying in carate Urio , proximity & access to the lake, short walk to ferry, markets & restaurants. Nicola was an amazing host, quick to communicate from reservations to check out. The hot tub was a nice way to relax after touring on the lake. The place was so enjoyable that we stayed in & cooked many meals so we could enjoy the outdoor covered dining table & sitting area. I highly recommend staying here!
