About this house rental
This Villa is a stunning villa set in the hillside just above Menaggio – high enough to benefit from the seclusion of a private road but close enough to walk into the town centre in less than 20 minutes.
The unspoilt view of the lake is a full 180 degrees taking in Villa Gaeta – which featured in the recent James Bond film \'Casino Royale\' - on one side and all the way over to Bellagio on the other. The villa has extensive outdoor lounging and eating areas - there are 3 terraces, the main one being around 100sq metres in size. Due to its prominent position, the villa enjoys the sun from around 7am until early evening. This detached Villa is arranged over 4 floors with 4 bedrooms and an ultra modern interior. As the first floor is designed as a fully contained 2 bedroom apartment, this offers flexibility to the accommodation, it is possible to benefit from the added privacy if required – for example when two families or friends are holidaying together.
In the evening the lights from Bellano, Varenna and Bellagio along with numerous other mountain villages on the other side of the lake create a dramatic backdrop for dining on the terrace.
With Menaggio only a few minutes away and ferry connections to the villages around the lake, the Swiss border 30 minutes by car and Lugano 40 minutes, St Moritz and Madesimo an hour and a half and Milan about an hour away, the villa is in a perfect position for a base to explore the treasures of the area – However, once you have see the magical views and enjoyed the amenities of the villa there is a very good chance that you will want to spend your entire stay on the lake just relaxing in luxury.
The villa with free wifi is accessed by a gated tunnel which leads to the private garage with automated doors. The ground floor has a laundry and utility area and a lift that services all 4 floors
From the elevator on the first floor you will be welcomed by a modern, luxurious and very light open plan living and kitchen area, with beautiful lake views and doors to the main terrace. There are two double bedrooms on this floor, one of which has direct access to the main terrace and full views over the lake. There is also a bathroom with bath and overhead shower.
On the second floor, the stunning kitchen is fully furnished and provides all the necessary gadgets. The central island with built in Teppanyaki grill and seating is perfect for entertaining. The chic dining area can seat a party of 8 and the living area offers comfortable sofas, flat screen TV with Sky, and wall-mounted Bang & Olufsen CD player. There are three glass doors along one side of the room which look directly over the lake and lead to a balcony which runs the full length of the house. There is another sliding door which leads to the villa\'s sunny terrace, which offers comfortable outdoor dining for up to 8 as well as panoramic lake and mountain views. This floor also provides a modern and stylish toilet.
Accommodation above is made up of a double bedroom and the Master suite which comprises of a generously proportioned walk in wardrobe which includes a fridge, a large high \'ceilinged\' sleeping area with views over the lake and access to a sunny terrace. There is also a bathroom with large shower.
The second bedroom also has views over the lake and a series of very spacious wardrobes. A finely furnished bathroom with bathtub and overhead shower is also located here.
As well as the sunny private outside terraces to wine and dine on, guests can also enjoy the shared swimming pool, which boasts stunning lake views.
There are two pizzerias which are less than 10 minutes walk from the villa and the area also includes tennis courts that offer professional lessons and a golf course plus numerous scenic walks. Please note that the pool is open from the 1st of May 2024 to the 30th of September 2024

Incredible views. Finding the unit was somewhat challenging but once there, this led to a quiet and very private setting. Getting the keys was easy and the gated parking and private garage made us feel very safe. We really enjoyed the outdoor furniture and spent a lot of time on the patio. Other highlights were the kitchen and eating area and the washing machine which worked great. The unit is very large with lots of space over three floors. The elevator was very helpful given a lot of steps in the unit. We did have a problem with an ant infestation. The property managers responding by providing us a can of bug spray. We were disappointed by the sparseness of bedroom furniture which included only a bed, and the general absence wall decor which made the unit feel cold, sterile and un-welcoming. The few paintings in the main living area were colorful, but the subject matter which included a painting of a handgun and two pictures of nude, dancing women, seemed inappropriate and in poor taste. Overall, the accommodations were acceptable, but at that price, we were expecting a higher quality experience. The view is incredible.

We had a lovely stay, but I think the description of the property needs to be updated.
The shared pool is a difficult walk up about 8 flights of stairs, and the entry to the villa is up a very steep road (what more can you expect from a villa with those views? just mention it in the description).
We did however love the stay and will go back to Menaggio at some point.

The magnificent view cannot be taken away from this property and a well equiped kitchen. However the cleaning standard of the house left some to wish for, and made a bad first impression

Wonderful villa experience
We had a wonderful time staying at Villa Panoramica. The villa is beautiful and has stunning views.
The villa is delightfully perched above Menaggio. (It is a steep 20 minute walk down to town, but a longer return). And the location worked extremely well as a base for our family to explore the Lake Como region.
The kids enjoyed the shared pool (located up and behind the villa), and all of us enjoyed the tremendous views. The doors and windows open capably and kept the place comfortable in the summer heat.
We would happily rent the place again.

Sehr nettes Haus und Anlage. Wir haben uns alle sehr wohlgefühlt und würden dieses Objekt weiterempfehlen. Nur die Müllentsorgung kann verbessert werden.

Beautiful view, dirty house
The most important issue is that
for our whole stay, WE DID NOT HAVE HOT WATER.! We rented out the Villa for 16 days and this problem was resolved the day before we left. The technician had to come everyday to turn on the hot water, therefore we got a late start every day. The other issues...The bathrooms had mold and soap scumb, one of the pillows had a blood stain, the kitchen appliances were full of grease grime and the utensils were dirty. The bead spreads had stains. I have pictures of all of this. The sun bed cushions were dirty and stained......

The location is so close to Menaggio, with easy access to Bellagio and Tremezzo with a breathtaking view! Everything was perfect, the view from every room in the house was beautiful. Strongly recommend this place.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Panoramica, the villa was well located and had good facilities.
The team at happy holidays were very customer focused, cheerful and helpful particularly when we needed help with transportation around extending our stay in Menaggio. We would certainly use happy holidays when we next visit Lake Como area.
Thanks for your help,

We had a wonderful time. I particularly liked watching the sunrise and sunset over the mountains. Our daughter loved Jungle Raiders. It would be helpful to say which restaurants are within walking distance. Chez Mario and La Vecchia Magnolia were both excellent, as was the home cooking service.

We enjoyed the villa!
Our favorite restaurant was La Baita. We also liked Barcola. Did not have a bad meal out. We liked Ristorante La Madonnina in Domaso as well. Thanks for your service. Once we found the office and new where to park, things turned out well. The boat rental is well worth it.

Thanks for the opportunity to provide feedback. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Panoramica and plan to come back again someday soon. The Villa was everything we expected it to be and we were especially thankful for the welcome basket of various items including pasta, champagne, bread, etc.
