The Best Holiday Homes across Europe!
This Villa is a stunning villa set in the hillside just above Menaggio – high enough to benefit from the seclusion of a private road but close enough to walk into the town centre in less than 20 minutes. The unspoilt view of the lake is a full 180 degrees taking in Villa Gaeta – which featured in the recent James Bond film 'Casino Royale' - on one side and all the way over to Bellagio on the other. The villa has extensive outdoor lounging and eating areas - there are 3 terraces, the main one being around 100sq metres in size. Due to its prominent position, the villa enjoys the sun from around 7am until early evening. This detached Villa is arranged over 4 floors with 4 bedrooms and an ultra modern interior. As the first floor is designed as a fully contained 2 bedroom apartment, this offers flexibility to the accommodation, it is possible to benefit from the added privacy if required – for example when two families or friends are holidaying together. In the evening the lights from Bellano, Varenna and Bellagio along with numerous other mountain villages on the other side of the lake create a dramatic backdrop for dining on the terrace. With Menaggio only a few minutes away and ferry connections to the villages around the lake, the Swiss border 30 minutes by car and Lugano 40 minutes, St Moritz and Madesimo an hour and a half and Milan about an hour away, the villa is in a perfect position for a base to explore the treasures of the area – However, once you have see the magical views and enjoyed the amenities of the villa there is a very good chance that you will want to spend your entire stay on the lake just relaxing in luxury. The villa with free wifi is accessed by a gated tunnel which leads to the private garage with automated doors. The ground floor has a laundry and utility area and a lift that services all 4 floors From the elevator on the first floor you will be welcomed by a modern, luxurious and very light open plan living and kitchen area, with beautiful lake views and doors to the main terrace. There are two double bedrooms on this floor, one of which has direct access to the main terrace and full views over the lake. There is also a bathroom with bath and overhead shower. On the second floor, the stunning kitchen is fully furnished and provides all the necessary gadgets. The central island with built in Teppanyaki grill and seating is perfect for entertaining. The chic dining area can seat a party of 8 and the living area offers comfortable sofas, flat screen TV with Sky, and wall-mounted Bang & Olufsen CD player. There are three glass doors along one side of the room which look directly over the lake and lead to a balcony which runs the full length of the house. There is another sliding door which leads to the villa's sunny terrace, which offers comfortable outdoor dining for up to 8 as well as panoramic lake and mountain views. This floor also provides a modern and stylish toilet. Accommodation above is made up of a double bedroom and the Master suite which comprises of a generously proportioned walk in wardrobe which includes a fridge, a large high 'ceilinged' sleeping area with views over the lake and access to a sunny terrace. There is also a bathroom with large shower. The second bedroom also has views over the lake and a series of very spacious wardrobes. A finely furnished bathroom with bathtub and overhead shower is also located here. As well as the sunny private outside terraces to wine and dine on, guests can also enjoy the shared swimming pool, which boasts stunning lake views. There are two pizzerias which are less than 10 minutes walk from the villa and the area also includes tennis courts that offer professional lessons and a golf course plus numerous scenic walks.

The views are incredible! As well as the outdoor area. It is in a quiet location close enough to Menaggio to walk but the hill is steep coming back up (the bus c13 will bring you most of the way). The villa was spacious for our party of 8 and generally well equipped and appointed. The village of Loveno has a great bar trattoria (magnolia) just 5 minutes down the hill.

We had a lovely stay, but I think the description of the property needs to be updated. The shared pool is a difficult walk up about 8 flights of stairs, and the entry to the villa is up a very steep road (what more can you expect from a villa with those views? just mention it in the description). We did however love the stay and will go back to Menaggio at some point. Paul, Clare, Lucy, George and Judy.

We had a wonderful time staying at Villa Panoramica. The villa is beautiful and has stunning views. The villa is delightfully perched above Menaggio. (It is a steep 20 minute walk down to town, but a longer return). And the location worked extremely well as a base for our family to explore the Lake Como region. The kids enjoyed the shared pool (located up and behind the villa), and all of us enjoyed the tremendous views. The doors and windows open capably and kept the place comfortable in the summer heat. We would happily rent the place again.

August 2016 We very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Panoramica, the villa was well located and had good facilities. The team at happy holidays were very customer focused, cheerful and helpful particularly when we needed help with transportation around extending our stay in Menaggio. We would certainly use happy holidays when we next visit Lake Como area. Thanks for your help, Lug, UK

August 2016 We had a wonderful time. I particularly liked watching the sunrise and sunset over the mountains. Our daughter loved Jungle Raiders. It would be helpful to say which restaurants are within walking distance. Chez Mario and La Vecchia Magnolia were both excellent, as was the home cooking service. Peter, UK

Incredible views. Finding the unit was somewhat challenging but once there, this led to a quiet and very private setting. Getting the keys was easy and the gated parking and private garage made us feel very safe. We really enjoyed the outdoor furniture and spent a lot of time on the patio. Other highlights were the kitchen and eating area and the washing machine which worked great. The unit is very large with lots of space over three floors. The elevator was very helpful given a lot of steps in the unit. We did have a problem with an ant infestation. The property managers responding by providing us a can of bug spray. We were disappointed by the sparseness of bedroom furniture which included only a bed, and the general absence wall decor which made the unit feel cold, sterile and un-welcoming. The few paintings in the main living area were colorful, but the subject matter which included a painting of a handgun and two pictures of nude, dancing women, seemed inappropriate and in poor taste. Overall, the accommodations were acceptable, but at that price, we were expecting a higher quality experience. The view is incredible.

Where can I start, what a breathtaking and beautiful place Lake Como! And this beautiful property on the hill above the lake has truly remarkable views. No wonder it is called "Villa Panoramica". Unfortunately for people saying there and for the owner of this villa Lake Como Holiday property management is doing a really poor job. The information and direction to the property was detailed and it was easy to find. We arrived in the late afternoon, party of 7. This property has 3 separate floors with stairs and inside we found Wi-Fi card showing three separate wifi router information for each floor, which totally makes sense. Once we opened our phones we realized there was only one wifi available in the entire villa with signal so weak you had to sit next to the router just to have internet connection. Nowadays this is just simply unthinkable to have remote villa without internet. My solution to this was to purchase high speed cellular service for everyone in our group. Unfortunately first day we were there it was raining so we had to stay in the villa looking at incredible views and decided to turn on the TV. There was no service there at all. I'm not even talking about english programming, not even local Italian television service was available. And most importantly after we checked in and looked around I couldn't find the pool which was so prominently featured on the property photos. So I called 24 hr emergency hotline number that was given to me along with check in instruction. George answered the phone and told me he would send me password on Whatsapp to the only wifi available in the villa (there was no information how to connect) and explained that the pool is shared with 4 other properties and it is above the property and you'd have to take the stairs up. We did go to the pool that was very nice but my parents who were traveling with us couldn't go there as the stairs are just to steep and the staircase is quite long. I'm writing all this down so people thinking of renting this villa in amazing location are aware what they are getting. Finally, on the second day when sun started to shine we started to notice the condition of the villa, which I believe was really done beautifully one time with all the high end appliances and features. Cobwebs in the corners, piles of dust under the beds, etc. One word - disappointing. And then came Sunday night, we get home from beautiful day at the lake and there is no electricity in the villa. I called all the numbers I was given to the management company along with 24hr hotline - no answer. So from 9 pm on Sunday until someone showed up around 1pm on Monday afternoon we were without any electricity. I complained about dirtiness, lack of workable internet, no TV and day without power - they just don't care. Positives: Absolutely breathtaking and amazing views onto the lake. Excellent showers with plenty of hot water for everyone. Minutes from Menaggio city which is right in the heart of Lago di Como. I would love to highly recommend this villa but I just can't. Our experience there was subpar and for the amount of money that we paid I expected much more

We enjoyed the villa! Our favorite restaurant was La Baita. We also liked Barcola. Did not have a bad meal out. We liked Ristorante La Madonnina in Domaso as well. Thanks for your service. Once we found the office and new where to park, things turned out well. The boat rental is well worth it.

Thanks for the opportunity to provide feedback. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Panoramica and plan to come back again someday soon. The Villa was everything we expected it to be and we were especially thankful for the welcome basket of various items including pasta, champagne, bread, etc.
