Carmela and her family were exceptionally friendly hosts. We felt very welcome and had a fantastic stay in their B&B. The lake is just a short walk away and the centre of Gravedona is also not far.

Carmela is a wonderful person who makes you feel not like a guest but like family. The bed & breakfast is surrounded by greenery, in a very quiet location. Being woken up by the rooster's crow is priceless. The breakfast is abundant and truly delicious. The welcome is superb. I gave it a 10 but I would have given it a 100. I will definitely come back!

We spent 10 wonderful days at Carmela's house. Everything is beautiful, the natural surroundings surrounded by mountains, near the lake and a short walk from the center of Gravedona. The house is lovely, both outside with the large garden and the table where we had breakfast, and inside, with a comfortable room and a complete bathroom. The breakfasts were homemade, with jams and cakes made by Carmela, fresh eggs from her hens, and delicious organic fruit, in addition to freshly made cappuccino. Meeting Carmela and her loved ones has been an incredible experience. Her closeness, chatting with her in the afternoons, and everything we have learned have undoubtedly made for unforgettable vacations that have changed the way my partner and I travel. We hope to return very soon! Thank you Carmela, see you soon! :)☺️ P.S.: I will continue to practice my Italian for the return🇮🇹

It was a really pleasant experience being welcomed into someone's home. The room was clean, had a window that opened onto the garden, bathroom also. But the best part was just talking to our host who made us great home made breakfast including eggs from the chickens in the garden.

An absolutely dreamy stay at Lake Como! We had the pleasure of spending nine wonderful nights at this charming Bed & Breakfast in Gravedona, and we could not be happier. From the first to the last minute, everything was perfect! The location is simply unbeatable – nestled in the picturesque landscape of Lake Como, the B&B Serenella offers breathtaking views that make every morning and evening a special experience. The peaceful surroundings and the proximity to the lake create an atmosphere of total relaxation. The room was immaculately clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, with great attention to detail. We immediately felt at home. We were particularly impressed by the comfortable bed and the terrace, where we spent many hours enjoying the view. Breakfast was a highlight every morning! There was a rich selection of fresh, local products prepared with great care. Whether you prefer a sweet or savory breakfast, everyone will be happy here. The coffee was excellent and perfect for starting the day. The hostess Carmela was incredibly warm and helpful. She was always available with tips and recommendations, without being intrusive. Her hospitality made our stay particularly pleasant, and we felt completely welcome. The location of Gravedona itself is ideal for exploring Lake Como. Many beautiful places and sights are easily accessible, and after a day full of explorations, I always looked forward to returning to this oasis of peace. All in all, our stay here was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this Bed & Breakfast and will definitely come back. Thank you for this wonderful time!

We were warmly welcomed by Carmela and immediately felt at ease. The large house with the beautiful garden is located very idyllic and quiet. The lake and Gravedona are within a few minutes' walk. The private bathroom and the room are very clean and very nice. Carmela is a warm host who anticipates every wish. She gave us great tips for excursions, reserved the best table for us at the restaurant,... . The rich breakfast is delicious and homemade. Carmela and her granddaughter Eva welcomed us like friends. Also the daughter and her husband, whom we briefly met during a visit, are friendly and warm people. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

We left for Gravedona at the end of last November. We didn't know anything about the place, and browsing the internet, we were immediately struck by the little house nestled in the green with a very welcoming appearance. So, we didn't hesitate to book the room for the time we needed. When we arrived, Carmela was there to welcome us with her little dogs. From the first approach, we realized that we hadn't ended up in the usual B&B. The location is super well-kept, with green space and inside, an environment that is welcoming and comfortable as if it were home. The room and bathroom provided every comfort, very clean and carefully detailed. But what really surprised us was Carmela herself, a very sweet and kind woman full of attentions towards us, and a beautiful friendship immediately sprang from it. She delighted us with everything, and the breakfast was very healthy and nutritious. What can we say? We fell in love, and we will definitely return soon to Serenella. Thank you, Carmela.

In this place we immediately felt welcomed as if we were at home: Carmela is a very sweet lady, who with her smile and discreet presence is able to immediately win over the hearts of her guests. Similarly, we were impressed by the house: very large and bright, with a well-kept garden and a large porch; the room is equipped with hangers, mirror, armchair, chest of drawers, and power outlets. The mattress is comfortable and the bathroom very clean. The night is quiet and definitely promotes sleep. We also had the fortune to taste the pear and chocolate cake, a delight! We will definitely return to better explore the surroundings and learn (but especially taste) some recipes from dear Carmela, as well as to pamper her little dogs.

A pleasant stay welcomed by Carmela, the queen of the house along with her sweet faithful dog. She welcomed us into her home as if we had known each other forever. Cozy and comfortable room, the private bathroom is there but is not in the room, it is right in front of the room. Upon waking up, a great smell of freshly toasted bread makes your mouth water. She also let us taste her jams and a spectacular local butter! Thank you Carmela, we had a good time! See you soon.

maurizio

Well-maintained house, surrounded by a green garden, a stone's throw from the lake. Fantastic welcome from Mrs. Carmela, who, together with her two little dogs, makes guests feel like family. Abundant breakfast with dishes prepared on the spot by the host. We came to Gravedona by chance and it was a pleasant surprise. We will recommend it to relatives and friends for a relaxing visit to Lake Como, in a less touristy area but close to the ferries to visit the lake's most famous destinations.
