Villa Lario is genuinely spectacular. From the moment of arrival you are greeted at your car and assisted with your luggage. The staff are friendly, professional and all speak excellent English. The views of Lake Como are amazing, with a long view to the north of Bellagio, all the way to the snow-tipped Italian and Swiss Alps.
The restaurant isn't Michelin starred, but should be, and even the light lunch and breakfasts are fantastic. Breakfast on our private terrance looking over the lake was available at no extra charge.
The staff organised a private 3 hour boat trip from the villa, as well as a private mountain bike tour also arranged from the villa. These are a little more expensive, but well worth it for the level of service.
If I could fault anything at all, it's that the pool in late April was around 18*C, which is brisk. Otherwise the stay was perfect.
