Check in very well coordinated, lovely welcome basket, incredible view, terrace, flowers. Walk to town slightly more difficult than expected. Perfect place to enjoy at home. On-street walking difficult at night. Incredible stay. Would highly recommend

Thank you for taking the time to share your review! We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us maintain the excellent standard of service we strive to provide. Regarding the walk into town at night, we do provide flashlights for our guests' safety and comfort during evening strolls. Please note that Bellagio is improving every year, and local efforts are continually underway to add more sidewalks and better illumination to our smaller side streets. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we are thrilled you had an incredible stay. Cordiali saluti, Karin

We (3 couples) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Poletti. It is well located in the middle of Lake Como activity and has plenty of room for 6-8 people. The roads are a bit challenging, but we got used to them. I highly recommend this property

We had an amazing stay at Villa Poletti! It is beautiful and the views over the lake were extraordinary. We celebrated our 39th Anniversary there with friends and family by having a chef from Salice Blu come and prepare an amazing tasting menu for us. It was definitely our best gastronomical experience during our two weeks in Italy. Also, the property was immaculate and extremely well stocked. All in all it was a superb stay!!
A lovely respite with stunning views of Lake Como!

Once we found the villa the check in was easy. House was clean and pretty much as advertised. The location is pretty far out of town. You can walk to town but put your life at risk on the road. Getting in and out of the driveway took 3 people. The blind corner was scary.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Oct 2025
Thank you very much for your feedback. We're glad to hear that check-in went smoothly and that you found the house clean and as described. Regarding the location, Villa Poletti is about a 30-minute walk from town, as noted in the listing. At check-in, our local host Emanuela shares alternative walking routes that avoid the main road for a safer and more scenic walk. Bellagio is also continuing to improve its pedestrian infrastructure. In support of this effort, the owners of Villa Poletti are donating part of their land to the county to create a sidewalk around the property's garden, which will make walking in the area and accessing the parking easier and safer. We truly value all feedback and are committed to making our guests feel safe, supported, and at ease throughout their stay. Thank you again for your thoughtful comments. They help us continually improve and provide the best possible experience. Cordiali saluti, Karin

Paradise at Villa Polleti

The villa was beyond perfect for our family of 3 adult couples and a 14 month old. We felt right at home from the get go and had every convenience we needed. The kitchen was nicely stocked with modern appliances, wifi and tv worked great no problems , the beautiful views from every room we didn't want to leave the villa. Karin the owner was super helpful with recommendations for restaurants, tours and anything else we asked she had good answers!

Beautiful House with Great Views

We took a family vacation with 10 people (all adults) and we could not have asked for a better place to stay. The house is beautiful, and the property manager was incredibly helpful. We did not have a car, so we did a fair bit of walking to get to places, but we had mo trouble with that, and the sites along the walks are great. If we are fortuate enough to go back some day, I would definitely stay there again.

Traveling Gators

The villa was delightful. It had a beautiful view and had everything we needed. We had a short walk to the pier to catch the boat to multiple locations. You had to drive to Bellagio but it was a short drive. We had a private chef cook for us one night and cooked for ourselves one night. Otherwise we went to several nice restaurants in the area.

Elegant and peaceful with soothing evening views!

We had a wonderful and restful stay and enjoyed our almost daily walks for lunch to either S.Giovanni or downtown. The evening views from this villa are magical, with different hues of blue emanating from the lake, the mountains, and the sky, with Villa Carlotta and the Grand Hotel elegantly lit facades right across the lake. This made dinners on the peaceful garden terrace our most cherished moments. The bus stop outside the villa's gate came in handy for shopping sprees in Como!

Beautiful Historic Villa with Incredible Views

Wonderful stay. Emi, property manager, was so easy to work with and very helpful. The views are spectacular. Its a 25 min walk into Bellagio, but there are sidewalks the entire way after the first 200-300 meters out of the villa. You can also take the ferries from San Giovini which is 5 mins down the hill from the house. Perfect with a rental car or great for a group who doesn't mind a short walk up and down the hill. A+

Magnificent views

The owner and property manager were wonderful to work with. They answered all questions and provided a ton of information about the area. Bellagio is very hilly, and the roads are very narrow so be aware of that if you are planning to stay. Otherwise, you could not find a more beautiful place to stay. Very comfortable and everyone loved the views. Just stunning. San Giovanni the village on the outskirts of Bellagio was just charming and Nene and Mella restaurants were favorites.

Rental Heaven!

I foolishly worried about this rental because I thought it might be too good to be true! I can honestly say that the pictures online don’t even do justice to the view. The house was wonderful and the owner, house manager, and housekeeper were amazing! The only down side is that you may not want to leave the house to explore the town!

About the host

Hosted by Karin

Host profile image
Villa Poletti is owned by the same family since late 1800s and recently updated. We were born and raised in Bellagio and are very happy to share all we know about Bellagio and its neighborhood. Once the reservation is confirmed we will send you a Welcome Letter with helpful information such as restaurant recommendations, places to visit, various fun activities which will make your vacation a memorable one. In addition we offer Chef, babysitting, maid and concierge services upon request. We can customize your experience from a culinary tour to a fishing experience.

Why they chose this property

The villa is very elegant. It has the beauty of being an historical villa with all the modern comforts. It is well furnished with beautiful antiques, has high ceilings and beautiful large and spacious rooms. The location is stunning. Outside of the busy center of Bellagio but close to the peaceful small village of S.Giovanni (3 minutes by walking distance) where there is the Villa's boat dock, restaurant, small boutique grocer, coffee shop and wine bar and just 3 minutes to downtown Bellagio by car.

What makes this property unique

The beautiful porch over viewing the lake is magical. As soon as you arrive you find peace, nature and historical beauties. The Villa has a private dock just three minutes walking distance so that you can enjoy renting your boat and are able to dock it just a few steps from the Villa. Near the villa depart scenic trails with lovely walks that can take you to the summit of Mount St. First in order to fully appreciate the spectacle of the three branches of Lake Como and the newly discovered caves.
