Ratings and reviews
2.0 / 10.0
The property is very very tired, we had lots of problems including a smashed glass door, broken blinds preventing the use of the balcony, broken pool lights, all very dangerous for children. A chair was broken but left round the table so when i sat on it, i fell through and cut my leg. It is seriously lacking outdoor furniture which is nothing like the photos. It was very dirty with the previous guest drinks glasses and cigarette stubs and vapes left by the pool. The hob won't light so we couldn't use this. The shower is filthy and the bedroom furniture is so old and cracking that they had to drape a sheet to stop the bits all falling into the bed. We contacted the agents who said they would come and fix things then didn't turn up, despite us contacting again. You are not able to walk into the town as there is no path and the roads are very dangerous. It is a very very overpriced villa in bed of serious need of update. We will be applying for some money back from this awful stay.

I was pretty worried about staying here after reading reviews on here and elsewhere. If you want a villa with a lovely pool and an amazing view, then you’ve got one. There is quite a bit wrong with it though: wifi was dodgy, aircon didn’t work in several rooms, doors are hard to open and glass door was smashed, pool lights didn’t work, one shower drain was blocked, another shower didn’t work properly. We had a post cut but the company that owns it were really helpful. It’s far from perfect but we still had a great stay.

The house was very dirty, spider webs everywhere. The furniture was dirty, outdated and cracked. Nothing looked like the pictures. The power went off a couple of times. Hosts were hard to get ahold of and didnt help with transportation. The wifi was not working at first. None of the A/Cs were working. Dirty sheets, claimed house was close to the port but it is not walkable, specially with bags. Overall bad experience. Do not recommend.

Amazing View
The view was amazing. We enjoyed our stay a lot. The only issue was ants in the kitchen, but we enjoyed the view and pool so much it didn't deter us from having a good time.

Heerlijke vakantiewoning voor familie(s)
We hebben genoten, huisje was schoon en groot. Prachtig uitzicht over lake Como, bergen zijn elke dag anders met zon/wolken etc. Contact met agency was goed.

Beautiful view
The neighbourhood and surrounding area is amazing. The communication with the agency was first class. The communal areas, kitchen, lounge and garden and terrace is lovely but unfortunately some bedrooms need upgrading. One of the bedrooms has no door also in another bedroom the leather headboard is flaking, and a leak from the air conditioning unit. The swimming pool is freezing and could do with being heated. There is a lovely fireplace in the lounge but we couldn't figure out how to switch it on! Still we had a great holiday, this is our second time returning to Lake Como!

Feriebolig lå fantastisk, super udsigt så er det sagt
Ferieboligen, havde flere mangler, som vi dog godt kunne se igennem finger med, det største problem var dog parkering, vi var 3 biler og der var kun 2 pladser, naboer var tydligt utilfredse, og vi måtte kæmpe en kamp hele ugen pga. parkering, ikke noget man gider at bruge sin ferie på...……… undrer mig at der er 11 sovepladser i huset med kun 2 parkeringspladser, så skal de godt nok presse sig sammen i 2 biler, der er også skrevet der er 4 badeværelser vi fandt dog kun 3 ikke et hus vi vil leje igen, men en dejlig by Menaggio og omegn, rengøringen af hus var ikke okay, natbords skuffe var fuld af ispinde og papir, da vi ankom Mvh Bjarne Olesen

This was a clean, spacious and comfortable rental. The view from the balcony was amazing. The flat (apartment) was in great shape, with a welcome package when we arrived. Overall, a really great rental. We would definitely go back.

Firstly the most important thing to say is we had a great holiday. The starter pack was much appreciated but the info left in the villa was misleading; it would have been helpful to know we could have done a full supermarket shop down the road toward Porlezza on Sunday rather than just saying that shops were shut on Sundays.
Best Wishes,

Villa Bianca Grande was very convenient to drive to the Golf club and also the central lake. We were big fans of the two swimming pools and entertaining and relaxing areas. A very chic and contemporary retreat! Thank you Happy Holiday Homes for your service! We will certainly come back to look at buying.

Thank you for such a super stay this summer! We really enjoyed staying in Villa Bianca! It wasn't totally secluded but it did offer beautiful lake views and plenty of all day sunshine from its hillside location. The kids loved the private pools and I have to say we were very impressed by how well-equipped the villa was, which surpassed our expectactions! David and I were very impressed by all the villa's mod cons and luxury touches, which really helped make our stay so comfortable and great. The golf club was very nearby and the lakeside centre of Menaggio was also an easy drive away! We really loved exploring Lake Como and also Lugano for a more cosmopolitan feel. Thank you HHH for a really super-duper holiday!

Villa Bianca - Grande
What a fantastic holiday villa! It offered everything we'd expect from a luxury hotel! We wanted to either be in or nearby Menaggio, so Franco and I could reach his family easily throughout our stay. Our children really loved the outside pool and we thought the views towards Bellagio were just breathtaking. The garden was south facing so basked in all day sun. The inside of the villa was super modern and comfortable. Franco liked working out in the gym and I must confess I did more wine drinking and sunbathing than exercise! There was an indoors pool also, which i'm sure would be perfect for a winter break here! I would just like to say that some of the shallow steps etc could be a bother if you have very young toddlers. Saying that all our children were fine with them. I thought the open plan layout to the kitchen and living room was really stylish and family-friendly and it flowed really well out onto the lake view balcony terrace. Loved the chic outdoor furniture too! We drove here which is advisable because of the hillside location. The main road leads from outside the small residence to Menaggio and Lugano, so it was very accessible for reaching all the lake attractions. Thank you HHH for a fabulous stay!
