We visited Lake Como in August 2010 for a short break in the sunshine. My Partner's Dad booked La Bellavista and we were not at all dissapointed when we arrived. What really stood out for me was the level of detail that the owner had gone to, to ensure that visitors had the best stay they possible could. There were books of suggested trips, citronella candles, a dvd player, ipod dock, a barbeque, molton brown smellies in the bathroom, bbc channels, to name just a few home comforts that made our stay so comfortable! The rooms were all tastefully decorated and the opportunity to open your french windows in the morning onto that scenery was amazing! We enjoyed several delicious home cooked meals out on the terrace whilst star gazing (pair of binoculars was provided) and watching the fireworks display taking place several miles down the road. We hired a car and were therefore able to visit many different towns and villages around Lake Como as well as go on some lovely boat rides. We also visited a local bar a couple of the nights, there were no tourists but locals were very accommodating! Our stay at La Bellavista was magical and I did not want to leave the beauty of the surroundings when the time came!! I would definitely recommend this apartment for all those wanting a relaxing break on the Italian lakes. (My partner's Dad also noted that the directions to the apartment were very thorough and made our journey there a peice of cake - thank you!) Response: Thank you for your kind review, I am so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. The location of the apartment is unbeatable with those stunning views and I glad it feels you are coming 'home' after a busy day touring the lake! Best Wishes Rosie. |

We really enjoyed staying at your place, it felt like our home away from home except yours had a magnificent view of the beautiful Lake Como. Your place exceeded our expectation in every way...the location, the view and all the amenities available. You certainly thought of everything as the place was well equipped with everything one might need. We would highly recommend to anyone that is seeking to get a taste of Northern Italy.

This place is breath taking. The view, the location, the premises were magnificent. The apartment itself was spotless and fully equipped with everything required for your stay. The location on the mountain and the view of the lake and all the little villages was enchanting and made you feel like you were in another world. Everything is close by and there is nothing that is missing to make your stay a great pleasure. I would go back there in an instant at anytime and would highly recommend it to anyone of my friends.

Bella Vista lived up to our expectations completely. A beautifully presented, well equipped, high spec apartment with magnificent views and conveniently close to the ferry stop at Argegno. An ideal base for our group - two couples who spent a week exploring the lake and surrounding area by car and boat. We would highly recommend this place. Many thanks Rosie!
