Villa Lucertola, July 2012
The villa was lovely. Everything from the minute of our arrival to our departure was seamless. We adored James and Rebecca who could not do enough for us and made every effort to make us feel as if we had been many times. James' cooking was impeccable. Indeed, all 10 us put on at least 2 kilos but it was worth every bite. The beds were extremely comfortable and the villa was always spotless. We did some lovely walks the lake temperature was perfection for swimming. We simply adored our first ever Lake Como holiday thanks to you and the wonderful staff at Villa Lucertola.
