VILLA MARIA by Design Studio

The location and view was amazing

The house wasn’t cleaned properly. Spiders and webs in the bathrooms and the glassware was filthy. Generally a bit grubby.

Great location, really clean and helpful staff.

One of the bedrooms needed curtains, my dad struggled to sleep due to street lights . Tv didn’t work

Lovely location with access to the lake for swimming, bit cold but refreshing. Nice outdoor space for BBQ and relaxing with some music. Will definitely come here again in the future

Beds went so good for the back with hard pillows

The location of the house was good. Better if you are in the bedrooms with the lake view. It’s very close to Bellano town and was good to be able to swim from the house in the lake.

We struggled with all the plugs in the house The hairdryer supplied we couldn’t use as it wouldn’t plug in anywhere. We had multiple adapters that we have used elsewhere that always work would not fit in the sockets in the house Both showers need the doors replacing as they didn’t close properly. The third bedroom was dark and over the road which was noisy

We had the best time in this villa. It is an old villa, so it is perfectly rustic, which we loved. It is literally on the lake and the views from every room (even the bathroom!) are incredible. Our 3 teens loved swimming straight off the terrace and there was so much room for all of us to have our own space. The hosts were brilliant - so helpful and welcoming and went out of their way to help us after my husband left his work phone in the villa. They could not have been more helpful. Bellano is a gorgeous town - so glad we chose to stay there and not one of the busier, more touristy towns. The villa is a flat 10 min walk into town where there are plenty of restaurants and cafes and it is really easy to get the ferry to all the towns on the lake. Would also recommend doing a boat tour of the lake. It was the best way to see the whole of Lake Como. Would 100% recommend staying in this villa. We miss it already.
