"In conjunction with Steve and Karen we found a beautiful lakeside property on the shores of Lake Como, in a small village called Lenno. The house is situated in the oldest part of Lenno and the whole area is steeped in history and beauty. In many ways it seems like stepping back in time.

Together with Steve and Karen, and with the builder and the architect recommended by them, we set about the restoration of this old house. Our plan was to open up all the rooms, bring the beauty of the lake into the house and create a fresh and contemporary style whilst being sympathetic to the original features of the property.

We found the entire crew of craftsman that we worked with in Italy to be enthusiastic, creative and keen to restore this 14th century shell to a gem. The finished house surpassed our expectations.

Throughout the process of finding, buying and restoring our home in Italy we found both Steve and Karen to be professional, passionate, knowledgeable and always helpful. We have enjoyed the process hugely and without reservation would be happy to recommend them.

Now we are looking forward to many years of enjoying "La Bella Italia"."
