Charming romantic apartment in an ancient villa in Bellagio, close to lakeshore

This was a great spot away from all the busy tourist areas. There is a close ferry you can take or a bus. The property was exactly as described and a wonderful time to stay.

Good property conveniently located. Lovely host - PaolaBed could have been cleanerExtra keys would have been good.Overall good.

We had a wonderful time in San Giovani. Absolutely one of the most beautiful areas I've ever been to. The apartment was wonderful. Great wood floors throughout. Very clean. Spacious. Comfortable beds and furniture. Paulo, the lady who manages it is extremely nice and helpful. The apartment is within a couple hundred feet of a fantastic little cafe called NeNe. 300 ft from the lake and wonderful views. The apartment is about 2km from Bilagio, which is why I gave the location 4 stars instead of 5. It was a nice walk, but after a long day it seemed longer for my wife. If I was booking it again, we would love to stay there, but I would not book it for elderly people, such as my mother because of the long walk to town. The only other challenge for me was the WIFI, which was good, but unreliable for my business. Overall, it was fantastic. Absolutely beautiful area. Belagio is beautiful. Take a ferry to Verenna and Menaggio to explore those towns and get a view from the lake. Wasn't too impressed with the town Lenno. The simplest way for us to get there from Milan was taxi - yes it was almost 200 euro, but it was simple. Paulo helped us organize the taxi both ways.

This apartment was superb for visiting the Bellagio region. Quiet, clean, well-appointed and comfortable. The host was most gracious and provided lots of useful suggestions that enhanced our stay. The local cafe and restaurant are highly recommended. I suggest visitors bring groceries with them because there are no suppliers in the immediate vicinity, although excellent grocery stores are available in Bellagio town proper 10 min drive (or 30 min walk) away.

The apartment has a great distance from Bellagio, walking over throught the botanical garden takes as little as 20 minutes. It's just close enough to be part of the bustle and restaurants, but far enough to have complete peace and quite with a nice view to the lake. The apartment is in good condition as well and has everything one needs. San Giovanni also got an amazing little café for your breakfast and aperitivo needs and a nice restaurant for fish fro. the lake. Full recommendation.

The apartment surpassed all of our needs and expectations. The host was amazing and easy to contact. We had to reschedule our trip due to unforeseen circumstances and she was extremely gracious and helpful in allowing us to reschedule. The location was perfect, near enough to major sites and transportation access, while being far enough away for peace and quiet. We hope to come back some day soon!

Not only is the property manager Llucia FANTASTICO!!!! But the apartment is cute & comfortable!!!

The apartment is located in San Giovanni, a short walk from Bellagio and an even shorter ferry ride. The walk is made more pleasant by passing through the beautiful gardens of the Villa Melzi, but you have to pay for the privilege. The ferry costs 1,30 euros. The apartment is beautifully furnished, and has everything you need for cooking a dinner at home if you don’t want to go out. There is a restaurant (Mella) just a few steps away and a small coffee shop and purveyor of sandwiches, salads and pastries (Ne-Ne) just around the corner. A little further is another restaurant (Silvio) and another (Darsene). The apartment was our home base for visiting Bellagio, Varenna, Lenno, Tremezzo, and Como. We were greeted by Emanuele who was very helpful. Check-in and check-out were easy. The only downside was the wifi is not very strong or very reliable.

Apartment is small but clean and completely functional. Location (San Giovanni) though listed as Bellagio is very cut off from Bellagio centre. To walk to centre one has to pass through very narrow two-way busy main road without a pavement - completely unsafe and unpleasant even if only 15 min walk. But its big advantage is that it is located one minute from lake ferry boat so if you choose this as your main means of transport there is no problem other than that the last boat to take you back to flat is at around 6pm. One fantastic fish restaurant (Mella) and one little bar serving drinks and snacks (Ne ne') are the only entertainment in San Giovanni but apart from that it is a quiet, quaint and sweet residential location with narrow cobbled streets and very little traffic. We fell in love with San Giovanni!

We stayed here for 5 nights and were really impressed. It is in a beautiful spot and is beautifully presented throughout as well as being super clean. Lucia and Tania (who picked us up and dropped us off at the ferry port in Bellagio) were really friendly and welcoming. I'd thoroughly recommend this apartment as very good quality and value for money. Lisa (UK)
