B&B Casa della Musica

Excellent accommodation with a lake view, very clean, perfect breakfast and Massimo is the best host.

Massimo is a great host, very welcoming. He even prepared albums in every room with daily activities. We spent a nice holiday in Italy, would definitely stay again at Casa della Musica for another holiday nearby.

We stayed for a week at B&B Casa della Musica. The house is simply fantastic, the room is very clean and bright, equipped with a terrace with a spectacular view of the lake. Massimo's welcome was truly exquisite, available for every need. There is not only professionalism and a spirit of service, but also and above all passion, availability, and friendliness in welcoming guests. We will definitely come back. Highly recommended.

It was an excellent stay at B&B Casa della Musica! Massimo is a super nice host and is always very helpful, giving great tips about Lake Como area. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back!

Super!

We had a very pleasant stay at B&B Casa della Musica. The owner, Massimo, does everything to make your stay enjoyable. Excellent and plentiful breakfasts, very clean and well-appointed apartment. The terrace with a view of the lake is very pleasant. Everything is perfect.

The property is very close to the beach, the railway station, 2-3 minutes walking. Olcio is a very quiet and silent place and a very nice place with good connection by railway. The property is very clean and comfortable. Massimo is very hospitable and helps immediately to solve any problem if there is. We have been on the top floor. The view is amazing from two balconies: Lake view and mountain view. Both are incredible. We really enjoyed it. Massimo is really the best. Edik and Liliya. Israel.

I have been traveling solo for more than 25 years and I highly recommend Casa Della Musica. Whether traveling solo, with friends or family, Casa Della Musica provides great hospitality, beyond expectations. It glows. The house is cozy, clean, tranquil, and safe. The location is superb. The view of the lake and mountains is a meditation per se. A big thank you to Massimo (host) for the warm reception and seamless stay. Like home, can't wait to return!

The structure is near the lake. Very nice and clean place. Massimo is the best host we have ever met:) Thank you very much for all your help and the delicious breakfasts. Best regards!

Massimo was such a brilliant host, we felt really looked after by him and enjoyed our stay very much in Olcio. The B&B is spotlessly clean, Massimo makes a lovely breakfast and the location is lovely if you want to get away from the crowds.

I highly recommend this place! Massimo is a very kind, helpful, and dedicated host. If we needed something, he always helped us (you could buy tickets, wine, or olive oil from him). Great location for those who appreciate peace away from the tourist crowds. 3 minutes from the cottage is the train station, but there is no noise in the apartment because of this. There is also a bus stop nearby. The view from the balcony - beautiful! There is also a table with chairs on the balcony. The room was very clean, and the bed was large and very comfortable. The only downside was that there is no shop nearby for grocery shopping. In conclusion, a great place worth considering for spending your Italian vacation! :)

Clean and quiet location, the manager is friendly and helpful, the only negative points are the lack of the manager's Point of Sale and the parking, we recommend booking the manager's parking (for a fee).

We stayed 6 nights at this delightful B&B with Massimo as our host. The rooms are great with a stunning view of Lake Como, every day the room was cleaned and the beds made fresh. In the morning we could enjoy a delicious and extensive breakfast that you wouldn't expect to find in Italy. Massimo is a great host who goes out of his way to make his guests feel at home, nothing is too much and you can turn to him for tips. In short: if we are in the area again, we know for sure where we will stay.

We spent 4 fantastic days on the shores of Lake Como at B&B Casa della Musica. An unforgettable birthday. Everything was great! The most important thing is the hotel owner Massimo, a wonderful person, cheerful, very attentive to the needs of guests, caring, definitely the best hotelier who loves his guests and his job. His assistant Fabio also impressed us. Massimo is a musician and everything in the hotel speaks of his love for classical music. The hotel is just to my taste, in a small cozy village of Olcio, not far from Varenna with a breathtaking view from the balcony of Lake Como and an equally memorable view of the mountains from the window right from the bed. The balcony is huge, corner with loungers for relaxation and balcony furniture. In our Verdi room, cleaning was done every day. The room has everything you need: a refrigerator, kettle, cups, tea, sugar, glasses, hotel toiletries, hairdryer, and first aid kit. Very comfortable bed, extra pillows, snow-white towels and towels for the lake. Massimo can order pizza for you with delivery to the terrace or a table in the trattoria and restaurant. In the room, there is a large book with options for relaxing on the lake, hiking routes, train and boat excursions. Massimo himself during check-in informed us in detail about everything. The breakfast is excellent, tasty, plentiful, with various types of meat, cheeses, omelets, vegetables and fruits, yogurts, juices. How nice to enjoy hot croissants and cappuccino on the terrace overlooking the lake to the sounds of classical music! We ate everything and until dinner we were full and full of energy. About the location of Olcio: very convenient. 5 minutes walk from the train station, the same to the lake. Trains did not disturb at all, almost silent, the car road at the beginning was a bit annoying, especially the motorcycles and scooters, which are very common in Italy, but soon I stopped noticing them. It is very convenient to reach the main tourist locations. To Varenna by train 15 minutes, from there ferries and boats in all directions, to Lecco 30 minutes by train, to Bergamo 40 minutes, to Milan 1 hour. There is no supermarket in Olcio, but at 2.5 km in the town of Mandello del Lario there is everything and a beautiful park and a supermarket. And finally, about swimming in the lake. The water in June is warm, clean, and transparent, there were almost no people on the beach. The shore is rocky, you need rubber shoes to enter the water. Thanks again to Massimo for the excellent time, comfort, and hospitality. Goodbye and I really hope for a new meeting!

An absolutely perfect vacation. This was mainly the merit of our host Massimo. He fulfilled almost every wish of ours. Thank you again for the good time.

We spent 5 wonderful days at Massimo's, Mozart room. Everything in the room is well organized for a comfortable stay - uninterrupted hot water, internet, and cleanliness were pleasing. The view from the balcony is stunning. The village itself is small, the nearest supermarket and pizzeria are a 5-minute drive away, Varena 7-10. Nearby there is a cafe-ice cream shop with a selection of cakes and a cozy courtyard. There are no walking paths along the lake. However, in the village there are many medieval buildings, an ancient church, narrow winding streets where it is nice to wander. We were satisfied with Massimo's homemade breakfasts - cappuccino, cold cuts and cheese, omelette, everything is cozy and delicious. Massimo is a very hospitable host and also plays the piano well, which is located in the hall. Everything in the house speaks of music. We will gladly stay at Massimo's next time as well!

Massimo was a super enthusiastic host, nothing is too much, he helped us with everything. Rooms were cleaned every day, comfortable beds, good wifi. Tasty and abundant breakfast, in a shared space. There was also a piano, where Massimo treated us to a concert.
