The property is large and relatively well equipped. Views of the lake are magnificent. Bellagio centre is less than ten minutes drive. Bellagio is a beautiful place and a good place to catch the ferry to Como and the mid-lake shuttle to Varenna in particular.
The villa is situated above and alongside the main uphill road to Bellagio from Lecco and Milan. It is a busy road. The blind bend where it is situated causes many drivers to blow their horns on approaching. Buses and large vehicles blow their horns repeatedly. Hence sitting in the garden is not quiet. Add to that that the large amount of motorbikes at the weekend, akin to the Isle of Man TT, it is noisy. It’s a shame as it is a good holiday villa. Whilst there we didn’t see the pool, boat or kayaks referred to in the description. Across the road, and down a slope is a small public beach.. The best and really only beach is at San Giovanni, ten minutes drive away. Lecco is the best place for a large Supermarket and we caught the train from there into Milan. It’s half an hour by car, though there is a regular bus and ferry service to Lecco.
We had an excellent holiday in the region. Yes, it could get noisy but it was also entertaining spotting the supercars going to Bellagio.
