Description

Lake view perfection! This beautiful luxurious 3-bedroom ‘villetta’ offers an idyllic retreat for groups of 6. Its setting couldn’t be more heavenly, with far reaching views of the central lake that encompasses the beautiful Bellagio Peninsular and the famous Villa Gaeta (featured in the James Bond ‘Casino Royale’ film). Nestled in the mountainside between Menaggio and Plesio (in the exclusive Parco Dei Cervi [‘The Deer Park’] development), no expense has been spared in making this modern three-storey residence as sumptuous as can be. Designed with art nouveau style influences, the 150sqm interior is also fully-equipped with all the must-have home comforts, including air-conditioning, WIFI, SAT TV. Under floor heating to the Botticino marble floors also ensures guests stay nice and cosy here in the wintertime too! The immaculately presented ground floor is adorned with antique pieces and art work, for a truly inviting home-away-from-home. An elegant sitting area provides a restful setting in which to enjoy quality moments together, with a SAT TV and DVD player on hand alongside a period marble art nouveau fireplace (not working). Ambient evenings in can easily be enjoyed here in the colder months, whilst the lake views from the picture window and the direct access out to the covered private terrace make this a wonderful spot for summertime entertaining. An elegant dining area ideal for 6 under the pretty crystals of a regal chandelier; for a lovely venue in which to enjoy lake view dinner parties and get-togethers. The covered granite terrace also allows guests to wine and dine the day away, with a stone-built BBQ and alfresco dining area. A granite-topped U-shaped kitchen is fully-equipped to offer all the must-have appliances for a carefree stay, with its open plan layout and its pair of bar stools ideal for relaxed holiday stays. An ornate curved staircase leads elegantly down to the lower ground floor of the ‘villetta.’ Here one can easily be accommodated to the luxurious cosiness of a spacious guest bedroom, which is furnished with a double bed and a relaxed sitting area. The sitting area comprises a leather sofa with a 55-inch smart 3D SAT TV. The leather sofa can be easily converted into a double sofa bed, to provide extra accommodation if needed. This room can be used as a twin room if needed. WIFI access can also enjoyed to this floor and a beautifully finished en-suite marble bathroom (walk in shower) is also on hand for guest’s comfort. Following on from the ground floor sitting room, the elegant curved staircase effortlessly flows to the two bedrooms suites of the first floor. Equally stylish and inviting, the two king size bedrooms both boast breathtaking lake views from a sunny L-shaped 9 x 2m balcony, which is furnished with a bistro table, sitting area and hammock. Providing a romantic setting from which to enjoy a chilled glass of wine in the evenings, guests can easily walk from the balcony straight into the restful ambience of their elegantly furnished bedroom. The antique pieces add a touch of refinement to each room whilst a luxury marble fitted ensuite bathroom (walk in shower) complements one bedroom and an ensuite contemporary fitted marble bathroom (bath tub) to the other. Both first floor bedroom suites offer the additional comfort of air conditioning, from a state-of-the-art silent Mitsubishi unit. The luxury holiday retreat further features a safe, laundry facilities and a private garage. A large outdoor swimming pool (open from 1st June – 30th September and shared with 2 other villas) offers the perfect excuse to unwind in the sun, whilst the private garden of the property offers a tranquil haven in which to relax and enjoy memorable alfresco meals. Mainly laid to lawn, the garden offers fragrant jasmine and lively shrubs alongside an ornamental bridge, a set of sun loungers and some comfortable garden benches to relax on. From its picture-perfect spot nestled on Menaggio’s mountainside [7 minutes by car from Menaggio’s lakefront], guests are perfectly placed for reaching the tennis and golf as well as the modern day amenities, restaurants, family-friendly Lido and the ferry service provided in pretty Menaggio. As well as offering easy access to the Milan airports, Lake Lugano and the Italian Alps ski resorts, the central lake offers a treasure trove of fun; with water sports, hiking, boat rental, horse riding, spa days, extreme sports and much more to enjoy!

If you have the stomach and vehicle for a small, windy and steep climb to the top of Menaggio, this is a wonderful choice. Each bedroom had a well-kept bath (good water pressure). The view is incredible and we enjoyed the amenities. Only comment, is they do not stock it with alot of extras so be sure to bring coffee, laundry detergent etc.

Beautiful property, comes as advertised. Stunning views of the lake with central Menaggio only 7 minute drive away. There is also a walking path down to town center. Amazing communication by management - always prompt and responsive. We needed a new set of knives and pasta fork and management brought it the next day. The pool got dirty after two days of heavy rains and they cleaned it the next day. Would definitely book another property with them! This place is a great value and located in a ideal part of the lake (central lake Como)

Stunning villa in the heart of Menaggio village. Located on a hill which overlooks beautiful and colorful nature of lake Como. Once you see that view from the villa’s balcony or terrace, - you will forever fall in love with it. It’s so worth coming here. We have visited several places and villages in Como, and Menaggio is my absolute favorite. Big gratitude to the host and entire team being always so polite, responsive and professional. Would definitely come back here again!

September 2016 Our family spent the third week in September in this villa. Being up on a hill above the town, the panorama of the mountains and the lake is breathtaking! We enjoyed sitting in the yard mostly in the mornings because we spent most of the days touring around the lake. But we made a point of going back to the villa one afternoon to enjoy lunch and the views. The breeze and sun were perfect! The villa is elegant and tastefully appointed with plenty of sleeping space upstairs and downstairs. We used the different appliances in the kitchen, and the washer and dryer. We ate at various restaurants in town and around the lake but the the one place we went back to was CO.RI, which is just few minutes down the hill from the villa. It's family owned and the food, pizza and standard fair, was delicious. We all agreed that the best gelato was at Gelateria Edo in the town square. Apart from taking the ferry or the bus to get around the lake, we rented a boat for a private tour to take a closer look at famous homes on the lakefront. Comfortable walking shoes are a must to enjoy the sightseeing and shopping. The weather during that week was still warm during the day, enough to wear a t-shirt and shorts, however, we needed light jackets when we went out early or returned late in the day. We recommend this villa - we'd go back again! Amin, USA

Spectacular views. Beautiful place and back patio. Make sure you pay attention to what is provided. No dish towles, soap for the kitchen. No trash bags. Only 2 sets of towels/hand towels for each bedroom. Trash bins are no where near the villa. You have to carry trash well down the hill. Biggest thing -- if you do not have a vehicle, UBER's and taxi's are not available. You can rent scooters/venpas and private drivers. Again, if you do not have

The view is spectacular and the 2 bedrooms upstairs with ensuite bath were great. Each bedroom had access to the same balcony. In the main living area, you could enjoy the same view from inside and from the terrace area. My pet peeve with this place was that they didn't provide basic essentials like dish soap, dish detergent, dishwasher detergent, kitchen rags, paper towels, coffee, salt or pepper. I think the Airbnb is amazing!!! However, those items should be provided for all guests.... not in extreme quantities but just enough to get you by during your stay

Good restaurants within walking distance. Need to have car to get to Menaggio and back (steep hill).

The location in Menaggio was perfect. The villa had one bedroom in lower level which was dark and musty. We discussed with George, the couches need cleaning and the oven had no racks, which made it difficult to cook at times. I also recommended more lounge chairs by the pool. The staff was helpful and assisted us where they could.

Vi hadde et fantastisk opphold i denne leiligheten. Nydelig sted ved Comosjøen med høy standard. Fantastisk utsikt. God plass til 6 personer. Et stykke fra sentrum i Menaggio, så passer bra å kjøre egen bil for å komme seg rundt. Svært god standard på de 2 soverommene i øverste etasje, litt dårligere standard på soverommet i kjelleren (fuktig og luktet litt stramt).

This is the best way for me to describe staying at Le Petit Palais Villa -- This was the best vacation ever for my wife and me and a large part of that was due to staying in this villa with its breathtaking views of Lake Como. During our two week visit, we toured many of the beautiful cities and towns on the lake but at the end of the day, we were very happy that we selected Menaggio and the villa as our home base. It was a great place to come back to after long and short day-trips to surrounding cities and venues where we enjoyed walking through some of the finest gardens we have ever viewed. We ate at most of the restaurants in Menaggio and enjoyed the hospitality and ambiance of all of them. This was an experience that we may never match in our life times. Our trip to the lake region was made even more enjoyable when dealing with your friendly and very helpful staff. We interacted mostly with George, Danilo, and the young woman (behind the counter) whose name unfortunately escapes me. They were always accommodating to us and we especially valued their tips on where to dine, what to see, and how to get around. I am so glad that we picked this villa and the city of Menaggio for our one-of-a-kind vacation.

We had a great stay at Le Petit Palais. It met our expectations and was spacious and clean. The view was beautiful! The office staff was great - especially Manuela. (I think that was her name, young, blond, vivacious, and very friendly) Also, Lydia was very, very helpful throughout the booking process. We also appreciated all the emails we received prior to our arrival. We would have liked a few menus or restaurant suggestions, as well as a ferry schedule. Although we didn't need it, emergency numbers would have been good to have...just in case. And in English as well as Italian. Our stay was very enjoyable, and we would definitely recommend this villa.

The villa looked like the photos and is in a nice location in Menaggio however there were a lot of spiderwebs everywhere especially on the outdoor furniture and dead bugs in multiple bathrooms. The pool was dirty and the pump was not on, despite it being summer time. There is also no air conditioning in the living room but opening the windows will let in a lot of insects. There is a standing fan, but the swing on that is broken too.
