We just returned from a week at this beautiful property in Bellagio. I cannot begin to describe how relaxing and lovely the entire experience was - how kind and responsive our hosts were, how the beauty and serenity of the home was only barely surpassed by the breathtaking beauty that surrounds you in Lago di Como. We rented the entire villa for our family of 16 who is spread out over several countries, and all of the cousins and siblings had plenty of time to reconnect.
The location of this villa is within walking distance of several grocery stores, and the local dairy shop (don't miss the butter there!!), as well as Bellagio (20 min by foot), Villa Melzi (~10 min by foot), and San Giovanni, Loppia and the public beach on Lake Como (~10 min by foot as well). Just note that the walk back up is a steep one - but all of us - including the intrepid grandparents in our group - managed it pretty much daily!
The pool is even more beautiful than in these pictures, as are the rooms and living space in the villa. The kitchen easily fit all 16 of us on the one day we had gray weather in the morning. There is also a seating area outside where we enjoyed the amazing views, and many family breakfasts and dinners.
If you are looking for a place to reconnect with family or friends, yet still have plenty of private / family space - this is a terrific choice. If you are looking for incredible beauty, peace and quiet, a relaxing pool, attentive and helpful hosts, space for the kids to run around and play, and yet still be close to a fun town with lots of restaurants, shops, gelaterias, and boat services to explore - you have found your dream spot. Seriously. Just go.
We look forward to returning soon!
