About this property

Lovely House with Vine-Covered Terrace Overlooking Lake Como

Step inside this beautiful restoration overlooking Italy's Lake Como and walk into a private Italian retreat. Steeped in history and stunning in design, this three-story stone house was architecturally renovated to make the most of the magnificent setting.

Set off the main road, nestled in the hillside, no traffic disturbs this home's calm beauty. The covered car-park is on the road so access to the house requires climbing steps to the hamlet and then walking 200 m on a path. The reward is privacy and a breathtaking panoramic view of the lake. This house has been showcased in two Italian architectural publications. Each room welcomes you with warmth and displays a splendid view of Lake Como.

The ground floor is comprised of the main living and dining area centered around an antique French stone fireplace, a fully-equipped kitchen, a laundry room with washing machine and sink, and a bathroom. Enjoy meals and a gorgeous view on the vine-covered terrace just off the kitchen, while keeping cool and shaded from the midday summer sun. The charcoal grill can be set up nearby.

The second floor has a family/TV area with fold-out sofa, one room with queen bed, a room with twin beds, and a full bathroom. The third floor houses 2 rooms with queen beds and one with a double bed with high, wood-beam ceilings, and a full bathroom. The third full bathroom is located between the second and third floor. Two travel cots are also available and can be placed in any room.

The garden is terraced and fenced in with a swing set. There are paths leading from the house into the woods or to the neighboring hamlets or towns, great for exploring.

History: This converted home began its life as two adjoining houses. Built in the custom of the times, these houses have two-feet-thick stone walls, made from stone quarried from the mountainside.

Recreation: Lake Como offers all of the attractions available on the lake and in the mountains. Ancient stone paths - many built by the Romans - reach from the village into the woods on the mountainside, offering endless possibilities for hiking. Adults and older children can follow the old mulatiera (mule path) from the down to Rezzonico and the beach.

Lake Como and Surrounding Area: Lake Como is considered by many to be the most beautiful of all of the Italian lakes - Northern Italy at its best. This resplendent lake is surrounded by a ring of mountain peaks, some of which are snow-capped year round. You will also find the shoreline of the lake dotted with numerous picturesque towns and villages. Nearby there is Menaggio, a lovely place for walking around, shopping, or stopping at one of many cafes or "gelaterie." The famous lakeside resort of Bellaggio is just a ten minute ferry-ride across the lake from Menaggio. Go a bit further for day-trips into the Valtellina wine region or Val Chiavenna.

Schönes Haus
Wir haben den Urlaub genossen. Allerdings ist der Weg vom Parkplatz bis zum Haus schon recht anstrengend.vorallem mit Gepäck oder Einkauf und für Leute ab 50-die jetzt nicht super fit sind auch recht anstrengend. Erst viele Treppen, dann noch einen schätzungsweise 100 meter langen weg zum haus und etwas aufsteigend. Dafür hat man einen mega Ausblick von dem Haus. Es ist alles vorhanden was man braucht und es war alles super in ordnung. Eines der vielen Betten hatte eine ultra harte matratze. Wir haben 2 badestrände in der nähe besucht.allerdings muss man diese mit dem auto anfahren. Ansonsten hat das Haus eine gute Lage und alles ist gut erreichbar.

Eine schöne Unerkunft, aber
wir haben eine gute Zeit verbracht. Aber: In allen Zimmern kein Moskito-Schutz Brettharte Matratzen Hundehaufen von Touristen und Nachbarshunden, da Wanderweg am Haus Discomusik von Nachbarn, Papay-Club bis 3 Uhr n der Früh Bei geöffneten Fenstern nicht nur wunderbare Vogel-Stimmen auch Lärm vom Straßenverkehr und Bauarbeiten auf der anderen Seeseite wenn man damit zurecht kommt, und sich hiervon nicht genervt oder gestresst fühlt, ist dies ein angenehmes Objekt. Zum Seeufer und See, gibt es vor dem Haus rechts einen schönen Naturweg und am Wanderweg am Haus gibt es prähistorische Felsformationen im angrenzenden Wald. Die Lage ist sehr gut, es ist etwas kühler als unten am See und es gibt bei über 30 Grad Schattenplätze im Garten, leider einige Brenn-Nesseln in der Wiese, daher für kleine Kinder eher weniger gut geeignet, ausser bei den Schaukeln, separat für Kinder angelegt, eine Platz zum Spielen. Uns war es zu laut und zum Schlafen nicht so komfortabel, wegen der harten Matratzen, was alles realativ und geschmacksache ist. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter hat sich ziemlich hingezogen vorab, 2 Tage vor Reiseantritt gabe es noch immer keine klare Auskunft zum Treffpunkt, eher etwas zäh nach meinem Empfinden, was aber evtl. nicht die Regel ist. Wir haben eine Woche im Haus verbracht. Es gibt Küchengeräte, Stabmixer, Mini-Küchenmaschine, keine Smoothiemixer, keine großen Gläser für kühle Getränke, kleine Gläser sind reichlich vorhanden. Ansonsten alles vorhanden was man für die Zubereitung von Speisen benötigt. Internet funktioniert gut, wir hatten keine Ausfälle.

The view really is that good
Our crew of 7 adults had an amazing stay at this property. Lots of space to sleep and every room has a view. I loved that is was a little away from the hustle and bustle of town where you could just sit and relax and enjoy the view without much of a care in the world. Lots of good memories were made on that patio and the couple small restaurants at the base of the hill were fantastic too. There are lots of stairs - believe that in the listing - which makes you appreciate how strong those Italians are! Would book again no question.

Traumhaus mit Superaussicht
Wer eine ruhige, landestypische und aussichtsreiche Unterkunft mit viel Platz und Atmosphäre sucht, liegt hier goldrichtig. Die Terrasse über dem See mit Blick auf die Berge und den See ist der Haimmer! Sehr zu empfehlen!
