Pilissy Guest House – Breathtaking Lake Como Views, Modern Comfort & Timeless Charm
Welcome to your dream escape on the shores of Lake Como – where Italian tradition meets elegant comfort and nature unfolds in its full glory.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful getaway, a romantic escape, or a family holiday, this beautifully renovated home offers a truly unforgettable experience.
Highlights you’ll love:
• Unobstructed lake & mountain views from three balconies and a large terrace
• Fully renovated, tastefully designed interiors – curated for relaxation and style
• Family-friendly layout with space, privacy, and comfort for all ages
• Fast Wi-Fi, well-equipped kitchen, cozy beds, and premium amenities

Step outside and dive into adventure:
Horseback riding, hiking, climbing, swimming, kayaking, boating, or simply relaxing by the lake – it’s all just moments away. You’ll also find cultural treasures nearby: ancient churches, chapels, castles, art exhibitions, and classical music concerts.
Gastronomy lovers, rejoice: a wide selection of local restaurants is just a stroll away, offering everything from rustic charm to refined elegance. Two small grocery shops are within 500 meters, and a larger supermarket is 1.7 km from the house.

About the host
Hosted by Atilla Pilissy
Dear Guests,
My name is Gábor Atilla Pilissy-Sipos, and I am the proud owner of Pilissy Guest House. Although not Italian by origin, my heart beats for this extraordinary country. I was born in Hungary, hold Australian citizenship, and come from a noble family whose history spans nearly 900 years. Remarkably, over 500 years ago, some of my ancestors studied right here in Italy while serving the Hungarian king.
I hold degrees in both engineering and physical education, which allow me to work freely and creatively across many fields. I’m an explorer at heart — always seeking new adventures, embracing diverse cultures, and meeting locals wherever I go. I believe the true essence of travel lies not only in discovering beautiful places, but in understanding the spirit and soul of a community.
This open-minded and curious nature has inspired me to create a guest house where comfort, authenticity, and heartfelt hospitality come together. My goal is to offer you not just a place to stay, but a place to feel at home.
Welcome to Pilissy Guest House — where every detail tells a story, and your story is about to begin.
Warm regards,
Atilla
Why they chose this property
I chose to purchase a home here because I truly believe this is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Nestled in a dreamlike setting between the Italian Alps and Lake Como, the region offers a rare microclimate that blends the fresh mountain air with the warmth of the Mediterranean — a combination you won’t find anywhere else.
What makes this location even more special is that the only island on Lake Como is situated right in front of the house. On special occasions, fireworks are launched directly from the lake, offering a magical display you can enjoy from the comfort of the terrace or balcony.
The surrounding landscape is simply breathtaking — lush hillsides, crystal-clear waters, and majestic peaks come together to create an atmosphere that feels like a living painting.
I’ve always admired Italian culture, art, and architecture, and feel fortunate to have many Italian friends who have helped me understand the deep-rooted beauty of this country. This house is located in a central yet peaceful part of Ossuccio, making it the perfect base for exploring Lake Como and beyond — whether you’re planning day trips, enjoying local cuisine, or simply soaking in the views.
If you’re looking for a place that offers charm, tranquility, and an unforgettable setting, this is it. I didn’t just invest in a house here — I found a piece of paradise I now have the joy of sharing with others.
