    The accommodation was clean. The bed was too soft for me. The cake is excellent, and they'll even scramble eggs for you if you want them. Parking for your vehicle with a permit. A good starting point for wandering around the lake. Recommend

Welcome to Casa del Poeta, the charming retreat on Lake Como passionately managed by Riccardo and Giulia, two young individuals aged 26 with a fervent passion for hospitality. This adventure began when we had the opportunity to take over this cozy bed and breakfast, which was started with love and dedication by two wonderful individuals, Annalisa and Eugenio. They instilled in us their passion for the art of hospitality, and coming from international culinary experiences, we decided to embark on this journey. Around two years ago, we took the courageous step of managing this property, bringing with us our youth, fresh ideas, and a strong willingness to take on challenges. We deeply respect the legacy of our predecessors, Annalisa and Eugenio, and we infuse a lot of passion into everything we do, just as they taught us. Every day is an opportunity to improve, innovate, and offer our guests an unforgettable experience. The rooms at Casa del Poeta reflect our young and creative style, where details and comfort blend to create a welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast, expertly prepared with dedication, is our way of delighting you with authentic and genuine flavors. We are excited to share with you our passion, commitment, and fresh ideas. We are here to make your stay a memorable experience at Casa del Poeta, a place where tradition meets youth, and heart meets cuisine.
