Bellavista Grande, Menaggio, Italy

A fabulous family retreat with lake views and swimming pool!

This stunning lake view property is perfect for families wanting to explore and enjoy the delights of Lake Como. The beautiful duplex property enjoys a splendid elevated position in a gated residence on the sunny Menaggio hillside and is within a few minutes walk of the town’s amenities.

The property features the principal living accommodation to the first floor, with a very spacious open plan living room to welcome guests. A comfortable sitting area with stylish leather sofas faces a fabulous open fireplace which is ideal for cosy romantic evenings in with a chilled glass of wine or for simply watching a film on the 32” flat screen TV with DVD player. A music stereo with IPod dock is also provided for guest’s entertainment, if required, Wi-Fi access is also available.

Guests can enjoy the direct views of the central lake from the living area, and after opening the glass doors can access the private sunny terrace which is ideal for accommodating guests for splendid alfresco dinner parties, with the breathtaking backdrop of the Bellagio peninsular and unspoilt eastern shore in view. Sun loungers also provide guests with the perfect relaxation spot for reading a book or enjoying a cocktail!

The newly fitted Kitchen/diner is chic and spacious with its Italian balance of modernist style and practicality. All the desired appliances needed for a comfortable self-catering stay are provided and include a gas hob, oven, coffee machine, kettle and dishwasher for maximum convenience.

Three bedrooms are situated to the first floor with a master bedroom furnished with beautiful modern oak furniture and enjoying lake views from its terrace balcony access. The second bedroom also comprises a double bed and is furnished to a high modern finish. The spacious third bedroom is furnished with a junior-size bunk bed and a pull down single bed to accommodate a third guest if required. Two newly-fitted modern bathrooms with power showers feature to this floor.

The holiday home also features a 4th bedroom with 2 single beds and an accompanying bathroom with shower, to a separate lower floor. To reach this additional accommodation, one must exit onto the covered balcony through the window door, and then take 3 steps to the left to reach a door, which leads to an internal staircase.

A fabulous entertainment area is also situated to the lower floor, in a large modernised cantina, which boasts a bar, cooking facilities and spacious dining area. There is also a sitting area with an open fireplace, a flat screen 32” TV with Xbox game station / DVD player and music stereo are also provided.

From the gated residence guests can easily drive to the Loveno Tennis Club and the Menaggio & Cadenabbia Golf Club as well as being able to easily reach the centre of Menaggio by car or in just 5 minutes on foot.

The picturesque resort town provides all the desired local amenities including supermarkets, delicatessens, boutique clothes and jewellery shops and a family friendly Lido with beach and swimming pools.

Great location. Wonderful views. Property was stuffy on arrival. Kitchen had visible signs of wear/damage to cabinet facing. Bathroom showers were dirty with mold on wall tiles and floor pan. Light in bathroom didn’t work. Property is showing its age.

Beautiful view
View of the lake was breath taking.15-20 minute walk to town - steep uphill on pebbled roads. Difficult for the elderly. Apartment was comfortable however there were no batteries in the tv remotes, hair dryers can’t be used as they sparked when turned on, mold on the ceiling in the bathroom with no venting. Despite these few issues, we had a wonderful time and would definitely return to Menaggio

You’re paying for the view
Pros: the views and the size of property is good for larger groups. The basement is huge but only a few porthole windows. The upstairs has a large veranda with wonderful view. Cons: the place reeked as there was “fresh” garlic just sitting in a cabinet going bad. The place was not very clean. It looked like it had been lightly cleaned but looked like it had been done several weeks prior. The towels had rust stains and were terribly thin. The sheets had holes in them. The place was run down and several light bulbs were burnt out. We were there only two nights else I would have complained There was a basic stale stench in the bathroom. Not freshly cleaned whatsoever. It desperately needs attention and fixing up. The pillows are hardly what I would consider pillows rather padded cardboard. Flat and very uncomfortable. Bring your own if you can.

Beautiful vista!
It was a nice size apartment with a wonderful balcony view. It was a 10 min walk to the centre of town. The walk back requires the ability to climb hills and stairs. We found some of the keys difficult to use to open gates. When we got there we found that we needed bathing caps for the pool. Where do you buy bathing caps? It would be nice if the unit provided some or had the rules changed. A few tea towels would have been nice as not all people use the dishwasher. We enjoyed our stay here. Relaxing on the balcony was always an enjoyable part of the day! I would recommend it to anyone visiting Menaggio.

Beautiful views / very clean
We only had a short stay at Bellavista, but it was everything we were looking for. Property was very clean, rooms comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and it was a convenient walk into town (8-10 min) down a walking path. The highlight of course for the property is the patio and the views of the lake. Absolutely spectacular. Would definitely stay again.

Questa casa ha una vista bellissima. è ben attrezzata. Per gli italiani che vogliono guardare Rai1, etc, è importante sapere che non ci sono i canali TV italiani di base, sono tutti canali stranieri.

Great location and view
Amazing view from the balcony and great location, easily walkable to town and the ferry. Took us a couple of days to find swimming caps for the pool but worth it!

Beautiful view but a bit disappointed
Menaggio and the location were wonderful. The unit was smaller than depicted in the pictures and is in need of some upgrading. The walk to and from town was an interesting adventure!
