It’s a family Affair

Dolce Vita Living is a family-run hospitality company operating between Lake Como and Milan.

We are two brothers with roots going back to Varenna, where five generations of our family have been working around the places people call home.

Today, Dolce Vita Living carries that heritage into hospitality. What started with just a few homes is now growing into a curated collection of homes managed with trust, precision, and care. The same we would give to our own.

Loved for the care,

remembered for the details

  • I left genuinely not knowing what I would have changed other than staying longer. That doesn’t happen often. Can’t wait to find a reason to come back.

    Michael, July 2026

  • We had a great stay, the apartment was great, everything we needed, really well presented, beautiful lake views and they were a really great host!

    Seanne, June 2026

  • Their attention and responsiveness was A+. We didn’t received the final entry details from Airbnb but Pietro answered our call and gave us precise directions that made it easy to find. He was also responsive about a few additional items. The Welcome Packet that they sent was comprehensive and we referenced it many times. The apartment is decorated beautifully, tasteful and even better in person.

    Paul, May 2026

  • Perfect spot in the Navagli district. Much better experience than staying in a hotel. Felt like less of a tourist. The apartment was nicely sized and was equipped with everything we needed. Close to supermarkets, bakery’s and bars. 100% recommend

    George, May 2026

  • This was our first time in Como and they made everything so easy for us. Loved the place, in a quiet area on top of excellent restaurant. Just a short walk to the gorgeous town of Varenna where you can take the ferry to anywhere else on the lake. Would definitely stay again!

    Brandon, May 2026

  • Very cozy apartment. Perfect for spending days with family and with all the necessary services. Andrea explained everything very well, very clean, and very well taken care of. If we ever come back to Milan, we will know where to go.

    Mar, May 2026

  • We had a wonderful stay! Pietro was a super responsive and friendly host, even before our arrival, he sent us kind messages. He also shared great local tips, like the fantastic Michelin-recommended restaurant just downstairs. The living room is very comfortable, and the kitchen has everything you need. When we had a small issue with the heating, Pietro solved it very quickly. Highly recommended!

    Martyna, October 2025

  • The host was impeccable in every way. The first thing that stood out as soon as we entered the house was how clean the entire apartment was; not a single particle of dust was visible in any room. The view of the lake was priceless from the bedroom, including a TV with various services like Netflix, etc. The kitchen was also fully equipped. Andrea also proved to be a helpful and professional person in every way. The value for money was truly excellent.

    Brian, December 2025

  • Pietro was brilliant from start to finish. He provided several recommendations and his communication was great. The apartment is in a great location (20 minute walk to Varenna) and was clean, tidy and easy to find. It has a balcony with a lovely view which added to the experience. 5 star hosts, thanks Pietro!

    Oliver, September 2025

  • Had a lovely stay with my friend at Andrea’s place! The location was absolutely brilliant - just steps from the canal with lots of great bars and restaurants nearby. We loved how close everything was, and it was an easy walk to the main shopping areas and the Duomo di Milano. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back soon!

    Felicity, October 2025

  • The house was warm and spotlessly clean, Andrea was very helpful upon arrival. Everything was very easy, it's a house I would choose again without hesitation when I come back.

    Çağla, January 2026

  • They were fantastic hosts. They were able to find and book a driver to take us to the Milan airport since the train schedule didn’t meet our early departure. They also recommended several restaurants and check in and out could not have been easier, and it was the most flexible check in of any Airbnb we booked. Highly recommend this property!!!

    Holly, April 2025

  • Pietro was very helpful and provided clear instructions. Apartment was as described and actually better than I expected.

    Pekka, July 2024

    Karen, July 2024

  • Our stay in Pietro’s place was very pleasant. Communication was easy and to the point. I highly recommend the place.

    Remco, April 2024

  • We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Andrea's. It is a beautiful place among the Italians, with a lovely courtyard where you can sit and relax. The apartment itself is also fantastic, and the air conditioning is a great addition. Unlike what other reviews mentioned regarding noise disturbance, we were not bothered by it. Highly recommended!

    Anna, June 2026

  • Andrea was extremely proactive in his communication, which made everything super easy. The apartment was spotless, cosy, and well located. Really appreciated his attentiveness, would definitely return.

The apartment was great looked just like the photos and was very clean and modern. Andrea was very quick at responding and also had some good local recommendations. We would definitely come back :)

    May 2024

  • Andrea's accommodation was very welcoming and exactly as described in the listing. I want to highlight the pleasant clean smell and the charming decor. It's close to the center of Milan with public transport (the Duomo and Stazione Centrale). Located in the lovely Navigli district. we enjoyed our stay and recommend it. Thank you, Andrea!
