A wonderful refined property with Lake, Gardens and more! The grand Villa Margherita dates back to the 1750’s and is in fact where the famous Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi stayed and composed ‘La Traviata.’ The villa enjoys a prime central lake position along the desirable western shore making it ideally placed for guests who wish to explore the many attractions and pretty towns on Lake Como! The villa’s well maintained grounds include a lakefront area with resident beach, boat mooring facility, children’s play area and a resident parking facility. Once guests have parked here an arched stone tunnel leads guests safely under the lake road out into the principal Villa grounds, which enjoys a sunny lake view position in a mature and serene landscaped setting. The spacious two bedroom property is situated on the second floor of the period Villa and the accommodation is distinctive, elegant, modern and inviting with a bright and well proportioned lake view sitting room which features three comfortable sofas, a TV, dining area and a wonderful view of the Bellagio peninsular. The owner’s own tasteful and eccentric flair can be enjoyed in the property and can be seen in the original art pieces, antique furniture and modernist touches; the style being Italian distinctly works and provides both a restful and vibrant atmosphere for guests to enjoy. A modern fully fitted kitchen with dining area provides all the desired appliances for a self-catering holiday and also enjoys a wonderful view of the lake which is perfect whilst preparing food. The principal lake view master bedroom is beautifully furnished with antique pieces, floor to ceiling lake view windows and includes modern touches such as a flat screen TV for guests’ entertainment. From the master bedroom French doors open out onto a fabulous sunny lake view balcony terrace. An Alfresco dining set features and makes for the perfect dinner party venue, overlooking the villa’s romantic gardens and the breathtaking Lake Como with picturesque views towards Bellagio and the pretty resort town of Varenna on the eastern lakeshore. A second spacious twin bedroom with stylish bamboo single beds and a bright and open atmosphere also features and is ideal for guests. A contemporary newly fitted bathroom with bath tub and a second modern rustic style shower room are also situated in the property. Guests are able to enjoy the splendid resident landscaped gardens of the villa which feature specimen trees and spectacular flower displays and are ideal for walking and relaxing in. Smoking is not allowed. From the villa local restaurants can be reached along the road by foot, and conveniently by car in a matter of minutes guests will reach the famous Villa Carlotta, Tremezzo cafes, bars, restaurants and lakeside park, the Cadenabbia car and passenger ferry, the famous Villa Balbianello and the picturesque resort town of Menaggio with boutique shops, Lido beach and swimming pools and charming piazzas. The pretty hillside heart of Griante should be explored and there are many fine walks to enjoy from here, to the St Martino church with its incredible lake views for example.

Sue Reviewed On: 26.05.2024 We felt unbelievably lucky to have found this place, not only for its historic value, the incredible views of Lake Como from practically every room, feeling like a guest in someone's villa, the gorgeous grounds .......didn't want to leave I can assure you. The apartment was very comfortable, beautiful art adorning the walls and huge library. Would love to return some day. Thank you for being such great hosts!!

Response:

Dear Sue, thank you so much for choosing to stay with us. We were delighted to have you accommodated and we hope you enjoyed the property and your holiday in this beautiful region. We would be pleased to have you back another time. Take care. Gentle regards Lake Como Holiday

Michael Reviewed On: 05.09.2023 The location was excellent, Griante is a great place to get to anything in Lake Como. The ferry is a short walk and the local restaraunts, ETC. are very good. The estate is gorgeous, the view from the terrazza is outstanding. The unit was clean and the grounds are extremely well-maintained.

The property is confusing, with parking across the street. The door to the home is at the rear of the house and it looks like it is part of the caretaker's residence. The description on how to get in the unit is not adequate and the management company is based in the next town. The ceilings in the second bedroom are extremely low, about six feet, with beams going across that bring it even lower. The twin beds are very small. This room is most suited for children. Given that I am 6'2", I was continually bent over and was amazed that I managed to only hit my head a couple of times. The Wi-FI never worked and the management company did nothing to fix it. The electrical system is very fragile, we blew the circuit breaker running the dishwasher while having nothing else plugged in. A good place for a couple or with children, but be prepared if you are two couples.

Thomas Reviewed On: 01.06.2016 Villa Marghereta is a beautiful old Villa located on a superb Location. The views from the appt Margherita GRande are breathtaking. Breakfast and Diner on the balcony with a direct view over the lake to Belaggio, close to Menaggio...it doesnt get better. Good parking, great gardens...

Maria Reviewed On: 01.06.2015 What a treat to get to stay in this villa on the shores of Lake Como. Spacious and well appointed 2 bedroom apartment on second floor with a lovely terrace overlooking the lake. Perfect place for breakfast or late afternoon cocktails. Self catering accommodation, however no oven or toaster and no washing machine. Eclectic furnishing which were lovely however beds were very uncomfortable- for the cost of this villa one should expect a decent bed and fluffy towels - we had neither. Main bedroom has an ensuite which is functional but basic, and the hot water is only Luke warm, second bedroo is on a mezzanine level, above the main bedroom with glass sliding panels, so don't expect too much privacy in the main bedroom. Second bathroom is barely functiona - rustic is the romantic description, but really it should be updated immediately. You need to be short to access the area without bumping your head. The views from this villa are to die for, and with a couple if new beds, some fluffy towels and hot water, it would be perfect. Guests also have access to the lakeside pool across the road.

Maria Reviewed On: 01.05.2015 Our stay at Lake Como was wonderful and what a great backdrop of the landscape of the area. Overall the place is great and it was a treat to get to stay in this grand villa on the shores of Lake Como. Spacious and well appointed 2 bedroom apartment on 2nd floor with a lovely terrace overlooking the Lake. Perfect place for breakfast or late afternoon cocktails. Eclectic furnishings which were lovely. The views from this Villa are to die for! The staff and dealing with the office has always been great and nothing was too hard.

Julie Reviewed On: 01.06.2014 I recently stayed in Villa Margherita Grande with my husband and daughter. We absolutely loved the villa, it's spaciousness and the beautiful views from every window! We enjoyed our stay at the villa immensely. It was lovely and sunny, the gardens are beautiful. It is a very special place and we never ceased to be fascinated by the views.

Bob Reviewed On: 20.07.2012 Our stay in Villa Margherita Grande was a truly wonderful experience. The apartment itself was very spacious and comfortable for us, its interior being one of a kind and carefully finished to offer us a welcoming home from home. The sunny private balcony enjoyed views of Bellagio and it was just the perfect place to read a book and drink some wine. The gardens of the villa, its history and intriguing underground tunnel were just also fascinating. Its a real gem of a holiday home! Many thanks.

Gitta Reviewed On: 07.07.2012 A fantastic holiday home for us! My artist husband was a BIG fan!!

James Reviewed On: 18.08.2012 We chose Villa Margherita Grande for its intriguing interior and views of Bellagio - it did not disappoint! It was a very fascinating and fully-equipped property and its landscaped villa setting was simply unique. Thank you very much for a wonderful week!

Sylvia Reviewed On: 01.09.2012 We all enjoyed a glorious week on Lake Como this September. The weather was superb and best of all our holiday home was beautiful! A great setting with the best views of Bellagio and also a gorgeous landscaped garden to explore and relax in. The apartment was so spacious, quirky and comfortable. Thank you to HHH for all your unwavering help and hospitality!

Alex Reviewed On: 11.08.2012 We chose this beautiful holiday home for several reasons..firstly my wife loves Bellagio so I thought let's find a place with views of this picture perfect resort town(!), secondly we're both artists and so love taking out family to stay in unique and beautiful settings and thirdly for location (it was within easy reach of the ferry port, restaurants and attractions of the central lake!). Villa Margherita and its gardens was such a magical place for us. Our sunny private terrace was the perfect size for alfresco dining and daytime relaxing and we really felt (without sounding too corney) like we were experiencing the very essence of Lake Como's beauty. The apartment was perfectly equipped and offered us spacious sleeping accommodation and lots of great character features. It was great to see the owner had put their stamp on the place with their fascinating art collection. So many places these days are undescriptive and forgetable..this place was not! A great place. Thanks from all of us (Charlotte, Dexter & Hugo).
