Discover a New Way to Stay on Lake Como
A smart holiday home Lake Como experience offers more than breathtaking scenery — it redefines how you travel. While the shimmering waters of Lake Como and the dramatic alpine peaks have enchanted visitors for centuries, today’s travellers expect more than just postcard-perfect views. They seek autonomy, digital convenience, and sustainable living — the ability to enjoy nature without sacrificing modern comforts.
That’s where smart hospitality comes into play. A smart holiday home Lake Como simplifies your stay by putting control at your fingertips: no more waiting around for someone to hand over keys, digging through emails for Wi‑Fi passwords, or flipping endlessly through printed instructions. Instead, intelligent systems — from keyless entry to app-based guidance — let you settle in immediately and focus on what really matters: relaxing, exploring, and feeling at home.
Located in the charming mountain village of San Fedele Intelvi, between Lake Como and the Swiss border, CasaMICO brings this vision to life. It’s more than just accommodation — it’s a thoughtfully curated experience designed for travellers who value comfort, freedom, and eco-conscious living. Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, a remote work escape, or a peaceful family holiday, you’ll discover that the harmony of Lake Como’s natural beauty and smart technology creates a stay that’s effortless, immersive, and truly memorable.
What Makes a Holiday Home “Smart”?
In hospitality, “smart” doesn’t mean futuristic robots; it means using reliable, user‑friendly technology to enhance comfort and efficiency. Industry experts highlight several key smart home devices that improve the vacation‑rental experience. Smart locks are popular because they offer contactless check‑in and assign unique codes to each guest. Smart TV allows travellers to watch their own streaming services, saving hosts the cost of cable. And smart thermostats reduce energy use by sensing occupancy and letting hosts adjust temperatures remotely
At CasaMI‑CO, we’ve integrated these features — and more — into a cohesive system to give you complete autonomy.
Self Check-In: Secure, Flexible, and Effortless
Your holiday begins as soon as you arrive. Instead of coordinating with a host or waiting outside, you’ll receive a personal digital code that unlocks both the main gate and the apartment door. Smart locks are one of the smartest ways to secure vacation rentals because each code is valid only during a guest’s booking
Lose your phone? We can instantly issue a new code. Travelling with family or friends? Everyone can have their own access. Digital access improves security and eliminates the stress of misplaced keys.

Fast Wi-Fi and Smart Entertainment
In a smart holiday home Lake Como experience, reliable internet isn’t just a luxury — it’s a necessity. Whether you’re working remotely, uploading travel photos, checking maps or relaxing with a movie after a day of hiking, connectivity should never be a source of stress.
At CasaMICO, we’ve built a strong digital foundation for your stay. Our Wi‑Fi network ensures fast, stable internet in every room — no dead spots, no signal dropouts. Want to take a video call from the kitchen or stream a documentary from bed? Go right ahead. We’ve installed Wi‑Fi based on expert recommendations, so you can focus on your tasks or entertainment without interruptions.
The living room features a smart TV preloaded with Netflix, YouTube, and other major apps. For even more flexibility, we provide an HDMI cable, allowing you to connect your laptop or device and stream your own content. You’ll sign in with your own accounts, ensuring personalised, private entertainment — and helping us reduce unnecessary subscriptions and energy usage.
Just a quick tip: don’t forget to log out of your apps before check-out — your privacy matters to us, and so does your peace of mind.

Cook Smarter: Modern Kitchen and Energy Efficiency
A home away from home isn’t complete without a functional kitchen. Our apartment features a 4‑burner induction cooktop, microwave, refrigerator, moka pot and a full complement of cookware. Induction cooking is both fast and safe: the burners heat only when they detect compatible pans. To reduce energy consumption, we’ve installed a condensing boiler, energy‑efficient appliances and low‑consumption bulbs. We have a plan to convert to LED lighting, which uses up to 75 % less energy and lasts longer than incandescent bulbs
Efficient appliances not only lower utility bills but also reduce our carbon footprint

Green Hospitality: Smart and Sustainable
Smart hospitality also means sustainable hospitality.
Technology and sustainability go hand in hand. Smart devices help us reduce energy and water consumption while maintaining comfort. Smart thermostats learn guests’ preferred temperature settings and adjust automatically, saving energy. LED lights use significantly less energy and last longer. Toiletries are offered in refillable dispensers to cut down on single‑use plastics and we encourage guests to separate waste through clearly marked bins and recycling instructions. Low‑flow faucets conserve water and LED lighting contributes to energy savings.
We believe these efforts matter because travellers increasingly choose eco‑friendly accommodation. Sustainable practices can reduce operational costs and appeal to conscious guests, so our investment benefits both the environment and your experience.
Blend of Technology and Nature
One misconception about smart homes is that technology eclipses the holiday experience. At CasaMI‑CO, the opposite is true: our smart features free up your time to explore the natural beauty of Lake Como. The Upper Lake Como region is famed for its slow tourism. Quaint villages line the shore, stone houses frame quiet harbours, and scenic trails like the San Zeno Hermitage path and the Monte Sighignola. Outdoor lovers can windsurf or kayak on the lake or cycle on the valley bike paths, while those seeking tranquillity can stroll through cobblestone alleys and enjoy gelato on the lakeside.
Vicky can suggest activities based on the weather and your interests. She might recommend a cable‑car ride on the Pigra–Argegno line for panoramic views, a hike to the Hermitage of San Zeno, or a local wine tasting in Valle d’Intelvi. With a digital concierge at your fingertips, you spend less time planning and more time experiencing Lake Como’s natural wonders.
