About this apartment rental

A wonderful refined property with Lake, Gardens and more!

The grand Villa Margherita dates back to the 1750’s and is in fact where the famous Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi stayed and composed ‘La Traviata.’ The villa enjoys a prime central lake position along the desirable western shore making it ideally placed for guests who wish to explore the many attractions and pretty towns on Lake Como!

The villa’s well maintained grounds include a lakefront area with resident beach, boat mooring facility, children’s play area and a resident parking facility. Once guests have parked here an arched stone tunnel leads guests safely under the lake road out into the principal Villa grounds, which enjoys a sunny lake view position in a mature and serene landscaped setting.

The spacious two bedroom property is situated on the second floor of the period Villa and the accommodation is distinctive, elegant, modern and inviting with a bright and well proportioned lake view sitting room which features three comfortable sofas, a TV, dining area and a wonderful view of the Bellagio peninsular. The owner’s own tasteful and eccentric flair can be enjoyed in the property and can be seen in the original art pieces, antique furniture and modernist touches; the style being Italian distinctly works and provides both a restful and vibrant atmosphere for guests to enjoy.

A modern fully fitted kitchen with dining area provides all the desired appliances for a self-catering holiday and also enjoys a wonderful view of the lake which is perfect whilst preparing food.

The principal lake view master bedroom is beautifully furnished with antique pieces, floor to ceiling lake view windows and includes modern touches such as a flat screen TV for guests’ entertainment. From the master bedroom French doors open out onto a fabulous sunny lake view balcony terrace. An Alfresco dining set features and makes for the perfect dinner party venue, overlooking the villa’s romantic gardens and the breathtaking Lake Como with picturesque views towards Bellagio and the pretty resort town of Varenna on the eastern lakeshore.

A second spacious twin bedroom with stylish bamboo single beds and a bright and open atmosphere also features and is ideal for guests.

A contemporary newly fitted bathroom with bath tub and a second modern rustic style shower room are also situated in the property.

Guests are able to enjoy the splendid resident landscaped gardens of the villa which feature specimen trees and spectacular flower displays and are ideal for walking and relaxing in.

Smoking is not allowed.

From the villa local restaurants can be reached along the road by foot, and conveniently by car in a matter of minutes guests will reach the famous Villa Carlotta, Tremezzo cafes, bars, restaurants and lakeside park, the Cadenabbia car and passenger ferry, the famous Villa Balbianello and the picturesque resort town of Menaggio with boutique shops, Lido beach and swimming pools and charming piazzas. The pretty hillside heart of Griante should be explored and there are many fine walks to enjoy from here, to the St Martino church with its incredible lake views for example.

The apartment was on the third floor, all stone steps. No lighting on the stairway or the doorway to get a key in the lock No AC, and since the property is right on the highway leaving the windows open wasn’t so practical if you wanted to sleep - not so great during a heat wave Internet was offline, the management company suggested that we wait for the repair person, once it was booked. Toilet was not working properly Bedding was basically a single sheet left for us to put on We moved to a hotel instead of staying. The management company seemed very practiced in the resulting conversation, no refund offered.

The location is perfect with a small private beach and many restaurants in walking distance. The only negative was that the agency did not react on and WhatsApp messages.

The grounds are impeccably manicured and flowers are abundant. It was quiet in the house and if there were other guests, we never saw them. There was a friendly family living ion the property, along with a friendly dog and cat. We were worried about not having air conditioning, however the evening breeze and open windows kept us comfortable. My young adult sons enjoyed the access to the water and the green space for sun bathing and kicking the soccer ball. Be prepared to walk to the ferry and to meals. Buses were a bit tricky so be patient and expect 10-20 minutes late on the posted route times. We parked the car and never drove again. It’s an easy boat ride to Bellagio, which we did two days. Parking lot and home are very secure and we felt very safe.

This apartment was absolutely everything we wanted. On the lake but not in an overly trafficked area of Lake Como. Spacious, clean accommodations with an incredible view of the lake. Quiet and relaxing. And there was private parking!! We would certainly stay here again.
