About this property

Lake view heaven!

With far reaching views taking in La Gaeta of James Bond ‘Casino Royal’ fame, the famous Bellagio peninsular and the unspoilt eastern shore where Varenna can be found, this special holiday retreat offers an exclusive and serene setting in which to enjoy quality moments together with family and friends.

Newly built, the rustic-style modern holiday villa is surrounded by nature and is situated in a luxury residence less than 10 minute’s drive from the vibrant heart of Menaggio.

Groups of 6 can easily relax and unwind in their own exclusive villa retreat, with three floors of high-quality contemporary modern accommodation to enjoy. Complemented with under floor heating, the interior offers a cosy and inviting place to stay in any season, and has been furnished with both style and comfort in mind.

The spacious open plan living area offers a fabulous setting in which guests can come together to eat, relax and socialize. A chic sitting area is equipped with a flat screen TV and DVD player for guest’s enjoyment.

French doors lead directly out onto a spectacular large sunny lake view terrace with its own private swimming pool (OPENING 1st JUNE ) and extensive gardens providing an added touch of luxury for guests of all ages.

A contemporary fitted kitchen is fully-equipped to answer all your needs, and is provided alongside a stylish dining area which boasts splendid lake views from its large picture window.

Upstairs the boutique-style interior continues to the two spacious bedrooms. Boasting a high beamed ceiling, the master bedroom suite enjoys a romantic ambience ideal for enjoying a tempting lie-in. With beautiful lake views to serve as an idyllic back drop, the room also offers couples direct access to the sunny balcony terrace and to a contemporary fitted en-suite shower room.

The second bedroom to the first floor also benefits from lake views and balcony access, for a restful and memorable setting in which to unwind. Furnished with a twin set of single beds, the room offers a flexible arrangement for additional guests or for a second couple, as the beds may be joined.

A stylish room to the lower ground level continues the modern contemporary theme providing additional flexibility for sleeping or relaxing with a double sofa bed and its own en-suite bathroom.

Basics ungenügend

Sauberkeit war Verbesserungswürdig. Pool musste von uns selbst gereinigt werden. Equipment wie zB Toaster, Kaffeemaschine, Staubsauger nur bedingt funktionsfähig. Zu wenig Geschirr vorhanden. Putz- und Trockentücher gar nicht vorhanden. Nur ein Sonnenschirm und dieser war beschädigt. Aus dem Inserat ist nicht ersichtlich dass direk nebenan ein weiteres Grundstück ist, womit man bzgl. Lautstärke stark beeinträchtigt ist von anderen Urlaubern. Die Aussicht hingegen ist sehr. Alles in allem jedoch zu dem Preis + Zustand nicht empfehlenswert.

Summer stay

Great property, really appreciated the welcome boxes which were waiting for us on arrival. Only downside was the lawns were quite long and unmown, the key wasn't available when we turned up and the pool was dirty when we arrived (to their credit they sent someone to clean the pool asap).

Keine zweite Chance für den ersten Eindruck

Wir hatten uns wirklich sehr auf dieses Wochenende gefreut, aber anscheinend waren wir die ersten Gäste der Saison und dementsprechend war das Haus nicht richtig vorbereitet. Ja, die Betten waren bezogen und Handtücher waren da und den Pool hatte man vorzeitig auf unseren Wunsch eingelassen, aber man hätte ihn vorher auch putzen sollen. Das Gras war nicht gemäht und auch die Terrassenmöbel und Liegen waren noch im Keller. In den Festerscharniere und draußen unter der Decke hingen Spinnweben. Der Backofen war völlig verdreckt und der Teppich im EG war nicht gesaugt (es gab 2 Saubsauger, die beide kaputt waren). Die Duschtür im 1. OG konnte nicht ganz geschlossen werden. Das Bad im Souterrain und die Kissen auf der Couch dort hatten massive Stockflecken. In der Küche gab es keinen großen Topf zum Kochen. Das Haus an sich und die Lage sind TOP! Die Agentur hat sich bemüht, und uns zwei mal den Hausmeister (der sich wirklich ein großes Lob verdient hat) und zwei mal die Putzleute geschickt (es war trotzdem nicht richtig sauber). Trotzdem ärgert man sich über soviel Unprofessionalität und dass jedesmal das Wochenende unterbrochen wurde.

Villa Serena

August 2017 We would like to thank everyone at Happy Holiday Homes for being SO helpful with information and answering all sorts of questions regarding the drive we had to the property and various bookings. Lydia was extremely enthusiastic and thoroughly knowledgeable about the advice she gave regarding our journey, which was slightly fraught driving through the Gotthard Pass as we had torrential rain and fog. Quite a precarious pass but apart from that, it was an excellent route. We were very relieved to arrive in Menaggio and the staff were exceptional in guiding us to Plesio where Villa Serena can be found. We did find this short journey very windy, hilly and some drivers not always keeping to their side of the road. We were surprised that we were quite far away from the town and unable just to walk in as the parking situation was very difficult. We had to allow extra time to find a place to park. Villa Serena was indeed beautiful, comfortable and clean, plenty of room and the most amazing views. Lovely to have a pool (shame it wasn't bigger)! Our trip to Villa Balbianello was superb, sadly Lenno market wasn't on as it was a national holiday (should have been noted on info sheet) and La Barcola was excellent too. Our favourite outing was to hire a boat for 3 hours and Nautic Planet boat company were excellent and recommended by yourselves. My daughter managed to arrive in Menaggio from Dubai and also had a great journey back. It was she who found Serena initially, and I can say on all our behalves - it was the most wonderful weeks holiday on Lake Como. Our regards to everyone and hope Lydia enjoyed her honeymoon. We will return one day. Regards The Peacheys. Alison, UK
