Villa Puccini is a B&B located slightly uphill, at a 600m distance from Lecco-Maggianico railway station, and offers several rooms. Free Wi-Fi. The lady-owner is friendly but insists on an instant payment when making a reservation. We called the B&B and confirmed our booking by Amex. While on the train on our way to Lecco-Maggianico we received several calls & notes from Mrs Cristina that our credit-card didn’t work. She suggested that we quickly make a bank-transfer or use another credit-card. If we could not pay within an hour, she would give the room to someone else! With a weak wifi on the train that was undoable. Finally we gave our Mastercard details over the phone. Fiercely insiting an a pre-payment is not very service oriented. when booking you better make a reservation via booking-dot-com. The relatively small, yet adequately furnished & decorated, room had an OK double bed, desk & chair, micro tea & coffee facility, wardrobe, and TV on the wall. Our separate bathroom had washbasin, spacious shower, bidet and toilet. All was clean. An OK Italian breakfast is served with an acceptable variety: half hard boiled egg, sliced cucumber & tomato, ham & cheese, bread, sweet bread & toast, butter, yoghurt, nice preserves, tea or hot chocolate & coffee. We found Villa Puccini relatively pricey, nonetheless we had an acceptable stay.
