BRIGHT APT near beach, mountains, minimarket, bars, restaurants, main services

OCRA APARTMENT is located on the second and last floor of an independent house of three floors / apartments, two of which are inhabited by me with my partner and by my father with uncle.

The structure is a classic lake house, with a large garden, built over 150 years ago by my grandparents with stones from the lake and completely restored by my parents.
It is located in Lezzeno, a small village on the beautiful Lake Como, in the quiet hamlet of "Cendraro lago".

OCRA APARTMENT is spacious and can accommodate up to 6 people because with its 110 square meters, furnished with care, it can afford large rooms for 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1 open space for cooking, dining and relaxation areas.

OCRA APARTMENT is bright for its rooms exposed to natural light with large windows and French windows opening onto 3 balconies from where you can enjoy unforgettable sunsets over the lake.

OCRA APARTMENT offers a comfortable and welcoming environment with a cooking area equipped with an electric oven, a dishwasher, 4 gas burners, a fridge, a freezer, a microwave, a toaster, a kettle, coffee makers, cutlery, dishes, pans and pots.
Comfortable the dining table as well as the relaxation area with 2 armchairs and 1 sofa with sat TV.
Decorated with personal choices of pillows, curtains, bedspreads, sofa covers, candles and flowers.
There is a very good wi-fi connection.

20 meters away the property, there is the free private parking and on request the possibility of a space to store bicycles or small items.

The location of OCRA APARTMENT is very attractive because the apartment is within walking distance of 1 MiniMarket open from Monday to Saturday, 1 bar open every day, a public beach with shower, restaurants and pizzerias with Italian cuisine and public transport .

It is an ideal place to spend a pleasant and relaxing holiday thanks to a surprising and fascinating landscape of a thousand different shades of blue and green water, with rocky hills covered by woods and a fascinating naturalistic coastline.

There is also the possibility to practice water sports, 200 meters away, at the International Center for water skiing and wake-board or mountain sports such as trekking and hiking.

Public transport such as buses and boats allow you to reach authentic villages and ancient villas rich in history and wonder, such as Bellagio, the pearl of Lake Como, Villa del Balbianello, Villa Carlotta and Villa Monastero.

I personally welcome my guests from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm (in case of delay contact me) and I offer useful information for a pleasant stay.
I am also available for restaurant reservations, boat rentals, excursions or any other needs.

a beautiful & relaxing
The location of this apartment was absolutely perfect! It was spacious and easily accommodated 6 guests. The views were breathtaking, it is a 3 minute walk to the lake, a 2 minute walk to Stone House Restaurant (a superb & delicious restaurant, we ate here for almost every meal during our stay!) and also a 2 minute walk to the nearest store. The apartment is very clean and very cozy! It has everything one could possibly need, it feels like home away from home. The view from the balcony was my absolute favorite to have coffee every morning and take in the views. The kitchen & dining room area was very spacious, even for 6 people! Gina & Eduardo are very gracious, kind and welcoming hosts! We really enjoyed our stay here and loved this location. I look forward to coming back again!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!
We feel so lucky that we got to spend the month of July in this amazing apartment and get to know Gina "Bruna" and her partner, Andres. The apartment itself is just perfect -- clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything you need. It has THREE balconies -- each with beautiful views of Lake Como. We spent hours and hours sitting on the balconies and marveling at the lake and the magical village of Lezzeno below. The location is great, with a bus stop just around the corner, and the ferry about a 10- to 15-minute walk. The lake is just steps away, and we enjoyed having picnics at the lake and dipping in the incredibly clean and cool water on hot evenings. Also -- we really enjoyed the Stone House restaurant which is about a one-minute walk from the apartment and the Aurora Restaurant, which is less than a 10-minute walk. Even better than all of this was the gracious hosts! Bruna and Andres always went above and beyond to help us with all of our needs -- even picking up groceries and wine for us when they were in Como. We also enjoyed some dinners out that were just fantastic. We now consider them great friends and can't wait to visit them in Lezzeno in the future! We HIGHLY recommend staying here -- you won't regret it!

Very nice, comfortable, well equipped and clean place with amazing view on the lake.
Very nice place full equipped (especially kitchen). There are everything you need. All three bedrooms are spacious. The hole space is very nice decorated. All balconies are functional with amazing view on the lake. The beach is near the place, market and restaurant is also near. Lezzeno is good for accommodation and have a good position for lake tour. Special compliments for owner Ginna which is very friendly and polite. She provided all necessary information about lake and suggested us about most interesting places which should visit. All the best for accommodation and Ginna :)

Spacious home from home with fabulous views
Gina and Chris are so welcoming and helpful. We stayed in a superb and very well appointed three bedroomed apartment above their family home with stunning lake Como views in a quiet residential neighborhood. Private secure parking. Mini market and friendly local bar with food next door, other nice restaurants only five minutes walk away. Accessible lake frontage very close to the property. A perfect base to explore the area and a lovely place to return to in the evening. A true home from home to which we hope to return

So perfect for us
Our stay at Bruna's apartment was perfect for the 3 of us friends. We each had a lovely bedroom with great views. The living area, dining and kitchen were so spacious with terraces overlooking the beautiful lake. Every need was taken care of and included. Gina Bruna and Chris were the best and went out of their way to make sure we felt at home. Gina even took us to Bellagio the first day for groceries. We couldn't have been more pleased and Lezzeno was so peaceful compared to the touristy villages. Thank you Gina, I hope to return someday and will recommend this to all my friends.

Gina and Chris were amazing. They provided us with helpful information about the area and gave us a thorough orientation to the apartment, which was lovely, clean and well equipped. The views of Lake Como were as advertised. Our hosts went above and beyond in helping us with transportation when one of our group hurt her knee. They are special people with an apartment that we loved.

Perfect relaxing holiday
We couldn’t ask for anything better! Gina the owner and her partner were perfect hosts and SO kind, helpful and welcoming. They explained where everything was in the apartment and its location. They outlined all available methods of travel on the Lake, boats, sea plane, train, car, parking etc. They gave us maps and leaflets. The property is so spacious, we were only 2 but it is perfect for at least 4 people. The view from every window is breathtaking and SO beautiful. There are 2 balconies with these views too. There are 2 bathrooms which is a bonus. Private car parking space and a garden! There is a shop, bar and restaurant all within easy walking distance. We would return anytime!

Wonderful property, wonderful location and wonderful hosts.
We just spent a wonderful week at Gina’s apartment. The apartment itself is spotless, modern and has every convenience you might need and the views of the water and mountains are fabulous. The apartment is very well appointed and Gina was very generous about giving us information about the town and surrounding areas and making sure we had everything we needed to have a wonderful time. One thing that made our stay especially enjoyable was how friendly and kind Gina and her partner, Andres, are. Nothing was too much trouble and they seemed really anxious for us to have a great time and see as much of the area as possible. Also many people in town know Gina and like her so they were especially nice to us, as her guests. We even got a special deal on a boat rental because we mentioned her name to the owner. The local people we met in the town were extremely friendly. The staff at some restaurants remembered our names and the master of ceremony at a local concert invited us for a “cold beer” after the concert. All of this made us feel like very welcome guests. The restaurants in town are quite good. There are at least four that are within easy walking distance from the apartment. The ferry dock was reasonably close as was the bus stop to travel just about anywhere you might want around Lake Como. And the town itself is very picturesque, peaceful and non-touristy. Almost everyone we saw In the restaurants were locals. We can’t wait to come back. It was a very memorable trip.

A Perfect Place to Explore Lake Como
Gina's 3 bedroom Apartment in Lezzeno was the perfect place for us to stay - us being Gran and Grandpa, our daughter and her husband, and their two children. The apartment is well equipped, spacious, clean, airy, has views over the lake, access to a garden (for the kids), access to the ferries on the lake, close to restaurants, close to a shop (next door!), parking available, etc., etc. and Lezzeno does not have to tourist crowding of other places such s Bergamo or Como. Gina is a wonderful hostess - you really must see her compendium of information about the area !!! - and she is so helpful. She recommended several restaurants - two were superb ( Crotto dei Pescatori and Ristorante Aurora Lezzeno), one is very overrated (The Stone House - miserly portions of food and very poor service on an average evening [i.e. it was not an exceptionally busy day]). Our only regret is Lezzeno does not have a take-away gelato bar.

A MUST STAY!!
This property is in the town of Lezzeno directly overlooking Lake Como. There are breathtaking views from every window and there are numerous balconies overlooking the beautiful lake. The property is extremely convenient to other towns as well as numerous ferries. The apartment is fantastic! The beds were extremely comfortable and the furnishings were as well. The most important reason to stay in this apartment is the owner, Gina! She provides you with a huge binder of information as well as answering any and all questions that you may have about the area. She makes you feel as if you are a good friend who has come for a visit. I cannot imagine a better place to stay on Lake Como.

A Great Experience
We loved our stay in Lezzeno! Gina was a warm, welcoming, and helpful, hostess. Her apartment was immaculate and had everything we needed for our vacation. We opted to travel without a car and, once established, found that there were restaurants, buses, ferries, and mini marts all within easy walking distance. Our favorite restaurant was the Stone House, just a few doors away, where we enjoyed our most memorable meal in the area as well as a fun evening of wine tasting. But when I close my eyes and try to bring back the memories of our time in Gina's home, what I see are the incredibly beautiful views of the lake and mountains, most especially enjoyed on the terrace off of the living room. I would recommend this property, without hesitation, as a wonderful place to enjoy all that Lake Como has to offer.

Lovely apartment with lovely owner
This was a great apartment that was equipped and stocked the best I have ever rented! The views over Lake Como from the three balconies was stunning. Gina was a pleasure to work with from the first email, going over and above to assist us including arranging for a car and driver (He was great) to meet us at the Milan train station and take us to the house and back to the station. It was so quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Easy to catch a bus or boat to all the lovely villages around the lake. Has a mini market just a few steps away that had everything we needed. But the apartment is so well stocked, you don't need much. I would highly recommend this apartment and would love to stay here again!

Perfect apartment to enjoy Lake Como
The apartment is in a great position overlooking the lake with stunning views from the balcony. You could spend all your time just admiring the view and not get bored. So many nice places to visit also - Bellagio, Como furnicular, Lugano and Villa Branbianello were our favourites. Great cycling options round here too - check cyclingcomolago for hire. The apartment is very clean and had everything we needed. The garden and patio are also a great spot - we had pizza out there on our final night. Gina was a very friendly and helpful host, nothing was too much trouble for her. Her dad and uncle live below and they spent most of their time making sure the garden below was immaculate!! Great holiday would recommend this place.

Wonderful apartment in a great location.
We have just returned from a 2 week holiday at Gina’s Lezzeno apartment. Gina was a great host and made us feel very welcome; she provided us with lots of useful information about the local area and beyond. The apartment was a good size - perfect for the 5 adults in our group. It was spotlessly clean, towels were provided along with other useful things such as cloths, toilet rolls etc. The washing machine and dishwasher were really useful additions to the apartment. The private car parking space was secure and very close by. We enjoyed many meals outside on the patio area. The beach is a couple of minutes away and great for swimming. The shop next door to the apartment was really good and had all of the necessities. We enjoyed visiting Bellagio, Villa Carlotta, Milan, Como and many more fantastic places. The ferry seemed a little expensive but a nice way to explore the lake. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our time and thank Gina for her kind hospitality.

Lovely, clean and bright apartment
A well located, clean and spacious apartment. It has everything you need in the kitchen. There’s a great view from the balcony across to Lenno. We had a lovely time here. Well located, once you find the paths off the main road you can easily get to the ferry. Good restaurants in walking distance. Our favourite was Stone House. One minute to the local shop. Lezzeno is not one of the main towns on the lake, so quiet. There are walks around. We followed the Regia Strada and walked up in the hills above the town. Gina is a great host, she really understands what you need in a holiday apartment so that you don’t stress about anything. From ample towels and toilet paper to getting rid of the bins.

Spent a wonderful two weeks in the apartment. Gina was a very helpful host with lots of ideas and information. There is also a very detailed information pack in the apartment. The apartment is very spacious with beautiful views of Lake Como. All the main sights are close by and most can be reached by boat with great walks and also swimming in the Lake 1 minute away. Lunch at Refugio Martina on the top of the mountain is a must do and we also ate at two excellent restaurants in the village; Da Abate and Hotel Villa Aurora which also does very good pizza to take away. There was even a firework display on the Lake whist we were there.
