This is one of the best places I've ever stayed in. It's full of character and the owners are just wonderful. It is right on the waterfront with a little area to swim/sunbathe just across the road and the train station is a few minutes away should you want to explore other towns along the lake. I couldn't recommend Frontelago... More

We were at Frontelago for 3 days and it was the most beautiful experience of our trip around Europe. Maria and Pietro welcomed us with warmth. They showed us how to get the best out of Olcio and its surroundings. Frontelago is located just in front of Lake Como, where it is possible to go swimming, relax in the sun... More

this was a special place, though it was not on the main route and took a little extra time to get there - it was so worth it! Olcio is a tiny village, 2 track track train station, but down a charming but narrow cobble stone road at the bottom of the hill is a wonderful, experience of warm Italian... More

We stayed here mainly because it was a cheaper alternative to Varenna or Mennagio, but what a nice suprise it turned out to be. It's only a ten minute train journey from Varenna, but that ten minutes takes you into a tiny Italian village, away from the wedding parties and coaches of tourists, and into a charming little B&B where...

Wow, what a fantastic place directly on the shore of Lake Como. Fantastic roads to take the Guzzi for great trips! The room was spotless, bed comfortable and the local church bells quite calming the 7am and 7pm bells were the best, the breakfast was buffet style with an option of eggs. Secure place for the bike & car. Local... More

Our first stop in Italy was at Frontelago B&B on Lake Como. Wow is all we can say about our stay. Frontelago is actually located in the little down of Olcio and we couldn't have asked for more. Maria and Pietro were charming and the room and view was incredible. Maria and Pietro both went overboard with help and guidance... More

Had a great visit in the Frontelago Apartmentt. Had everything we would ever want and very large to European standards. Maria and Pietro were kind and welcoming hosts. Breakfast was excellent everyday. They made you feel like part of her family. While they spoke little english they did their best to explain and be helpful in italian.
