Amazing Stay

Our family of five had a wonderful stay. The house was lovely. We enjoyed the views and walking up to the village for Gelato and sitting in the one eatery enjoying a late bite to eat and a glass of wine. Everyone in the area super friendly! There is a large grocery store about 12 minutes away. We did get supplies to make two homemade dinners. We took a day trip to Varenna along Lake Como. We also drove into Milan. We did spend a day just relaxing in the house and walking the nearby trails. Highly recommend!

Charming and beautiful!

Excellent property carefully renovated using quality materials. The hosts were very responsive and delightful people. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend this location and property very highly. The photos in the listing accurately reflect the lovely property. As pointed out in the listing, there is a walk of 250 meters from where you can unload your luggage from your car. There is an authentic cobblestone path to the property which has a fantastic view over the countryside below. However, for those who may be challenged by walking up hill, you need to be aware that the cobblestone path is an aerobic opportunity when you decide to go into the town or to your car. It took some effort to adjust to the uphill walk when we went to explore the areas surrounding Montevecchia. Of course, we are in our 70’s so part of the challenge is related to our age so those in decent physical condition will likely have no problem with the walk but you do need to be aware that it is an uphill walk when you leave the property. We enjoyed having drinks on the lawn and taking in the wonderful views in addition to the lovely accommodations. Thank you, Cinzia, Massimo and Liana for making our stay perfect!!

A long weekend together with friends

We (a group of three couples) had a lovely stay in Montevecchia. The apartment was a good base for our day trips to the surrounding areas. Only thing we missed, was an adequate amount of toilet paper (only two rolls) and wine glasses (only three wine and three champagne glasses for six people). Also, there were no breakfast supplies for the first morning despite the promise given in the description of the apartment. As the weather was on our side and we managed to stay most of our visit outside, we didn’t have any use for the tv which was a good thing, as we couldn’t get any channels to work. It would also be a good thing to grease the hinges of the ground floor toilet as they squeaked quite a lot. It’s advisable for the future guests to acknowledge that the nearest food stores are quite far and only accessible with car (or bike). What we really appreciated was the friendliness and courtesy of Cinzia and Liana who helped to bring our luggage to and from the apartment and to find the parking for our car. Our overall rating would be 4+.

Beautiful Views

This villa is a bit out of the way. But the views and the location are worth the short drive to get here. The villa sits on a hill overlooking the valley. With a church next door and a garage to park your car. This was the perfect stop over Easter weekend for me, my wife and 3 teenage daughters.

Amazing

Amazing is not a good enough word for this property. Sipping wine outside over looking the valley and grape vineyards was breathtaking. The little square had the greatest restaurants. And the hosts! They are so kind and ready to help. They met us in the square and helped take our luggage to the farmhouse. They provided a garage for our rental car. On the way out the owners helped us get out of there earlier than we told them we were. So grateful! The house had everything we could have needed for my family! The room upstairs was perfect for my 16 year old. The pullout couch was so comfortable to sleep on and will be contacting the owner for the brand! This is the perfect place to get away from the busy-ness of the bigger cities. Great 4 days we had and wished it was longer!

Beautiful view and historical Vrbo

The historical aspect and view from the Vrbo were fantastic. We had trouble finding the place with our updated GPS. We found putting a specific restaurant/church name was the easiest way to locate the general area. We arrived an hour early for check in and drove up to the small plaza. It is definitely a drop off location only. We found parking a little further up the main road where upon check in we were given access to their garage. A definite need…parking is limited. Once we met up with the owners, they were very helpful. They helped with our luggage and had umbrellas ready when we checked out during a thunderstorm. It is a rather steep cobblestone path down to the Vrbo…great exercise, especially if you are carrying anything. We felt the place had not been used for awhile…spider webs and a small dead scorpion on the kitchen floor were found. Even though it had been beautifully renovated a few years ago, it just felt a little neglected.

We could not have asked for a better house for our little family to call home for 2 months. Thank you so much to Liana and Cinzia, the owners, for always being there for all of our questions and needs. They even gave us a little swing for our daughter! Wonderful little town with an absolutely stunning view from the house. There is a little restaurant right next door, and then gelato, bar, and restaurant in the little town that is walking distance. It was perfect!

We should have stayed much longer!

The house is down a small path through the vineyards, but not too far, and is simply stunning. We were welcomed by our hosts with assistance to carry our luggage, cake and freshly picked tomatoes and grapes. The house is exactly as it looks in the pictures, if not better. The four of us wish we had booked twice as long. Views out of most rooms are fantastic and there is everything you need. Not very far away from a range of shops and spots to visit, car is key. We intend to come back sometime to relax for many days!

We were welcomed with freshly baked cake and buns!

After a long journey from Bern, Switzerland driving through the challenging Swiss Alps, we were welcomed by Liana, Cinzia and her husband to this beautiful restored old farm house. Amazingly presented and stunning view from the terrace! Overlooking the city of Milan and Brianza! Liana recommended Pasenno - apparently, it is the best restaurant in Montevecchia! We definitely had a lovely dinner on this restaurant. Italian ice cream was always the best to end up our day! We spend 5 nights on this property and it is a wonderful place to go back again! Thank you very much and we will recommend this place to our friends and family. Mr. and Mrs. Cross Cambridge, U.K.

Great Holiday in Beautiful Location

The property is exactly as described on the website, a beautiful house with what is almost certainly a stunning view if you visit when it isn't misty! The owners are extremely friendly, helpful and respectful. They were on hand with cake and bread when we arrived and responded quickly to the couple of questions we had. They also suggested a visit to Monza Park and Royal Villa on our way back to Malpensa airport, which was a great idea for our two young children. All in all, a great location for a holiday. We would definitely consider returning if we ever go back to that part of Italy. Thank you - Grazie Mille!

Nous avons connu une de nos plus belles expérience d'hébergement. Un gâteau fait maison nous attendait en même temps qu'une hôte qui nous a gentille ment conduite dans la maison grande, confortable et d'une propreté irréprochable où on aurait bien séjourné plus longtemps. Les villes et régions à visiter autour son nombreuses dont les villes autour du majestueux lac de Côme et Milan. Les bagages n'ont pas suivi lors de la correspondance et les hôtes se sont informés de la récupération des bagages, entre autres délicatesse.
