Exceptional
☺ The views are to die for. Excellent home with comfort features
☹ It's a shared facility and bedrooms are close to each other so can be a little noisy

Nice, 70s mid century modern house with stunning views. Excellent communication from host and staff. I’m a snob for views and this place delivered. Pictures online don’t do the views justice.

This is a place you will walk into and have your breath taken. It is spectacular. The view is so beautiful you will keep having to check it’s even real.
The rooms are very well appointed, beautifully dressed and the beds the same quality as some of the best hotels in the world. We slept extremely well, sinking into the comfortable beds.
The hosts went above and beyond for us!
The sauna and pool overlook the stunning Lake Como as well. Such a treat.
Luxury in its finest form. This is the place you will keep thinking of, returning to and telling your friends about.
A must visit!
Ash thank you so much for you lovely review. We really appreciate it!
So glad it inspired you to write it!

Location Location Location with superb view overlooking Lake Como. Unique villa restored to it's late 1960's style and decor. Enjoyed a very relaxing, peaceful few days with short drives to local towns for great cuisine and walks. Thanks to our gracious host Barbara for a wonderful stay!
Hi Tessa,
Thanks so much for your review.
I really appreciate it!
I hope to see you again some time!.

Beautiful place, responsive hosts, historic Villa Ponti on the hill of Lake Como, wonderful scenic views of nature, I especially recommend it to those who like walking in the mountains. Loved the pool and sauna overlooking the lake.
The Villa works on sustainability and green thinking. It's like home here. The service staff works seamlessly. We spent our holidays here for the third time, and I hope we will be back next year,
Thank You so much!

I said to owner that she will need to buy new phone because there is no place for photos, it is so beautiful, also very like that this property, has saved so much details from original, and also the new one's perfectly fit there. Did I said already, that we changed our plans first time when we arrived and stayed all day in villa, ok maybe we went to the shop for the wine and great dolces (sweets) wha tyou can get in pasticceria (ask owners for the working ours, you know it is Italy and siesta time is important)
Es gandrīz tiku pie jauna telefona, jo vecajā vairs nebija vietas fotogrāfijām. Te var kļūt atkarīgs no fotografēšanas. Ļoti priecājos, ka īpašums nav sabojāts ar eiroremontu un var sajust oriģinālo arhitekta ieplānoto domu. Pirmajā reizē, kad palikām šajā īpašumā pirmās dienas prom nekur nebraucām, palikām vai nu uz kāda no balkoniem, vai pie baseina dzerot vīnu un lasot Rīgas laiku, nu labi aizgājām jau arī pakaļ uz vietējo "pasticceria" pēc debišķīgiem kārumiem. Pie baseina ir arī sauna, kas lieki noder rudenī, kad baseinā ir ap 16-18 grādiem.
Thanks Imants. We loved having you and that the villa and location inspired you to take so many photos! And that you stayed at the villa most of the time instead of going out. It's a pleasure to know that the villa had everything you needed to enjoy yourselves here.
Yay!!!

Een adembenemend zicht op Lago di Como en een befaamde architect. Tot zover de positieve punten van ons recent verblijf in Villa Ponti Bellavista. Deze villa wordt vermoedelijk meestal in z’n geheel verhuurd en bij onderbezetting als hotelkamer. Van hotelfunctie is echter in het geheel geen sprake.
3 overnachtingen in een gedateerde kamer en badkamer, met ondermaatse douche. Ontbijt blijkt niet beschikbaar, ook een eenvoudige koffie ‘s ochtends, noch een fles water met glazen in de kamer zijn voorzien. Kamer wordt niet opgemaakt, geen verse lakens, geen propere handdoeken en niet geleegde vuilbakjes sinds dag van aankomst. Keuken en leefruimte zijn verondersteld gemeenschappelijk te zijn, echter werden we daar meteen buiten gekeken.
De hele villa is toe aan een grondige opsmuk, lees: aanpassingen aan huidige verwachtingen van reizigers die enige luxe gewend zijn. 1022€ voor 3 overnachtingen zonder enige service is pure afperserij.
Ook de prachtige foto’s online zijn duidelijk gemaakt door een handige fotograaf die zeer goed is in fotoshoppen.
Besluit: meer dan 1000€ voor een kamer in een gedateerde villa zonder zelfs de eenvoudigste service is afzetterij van de zuiverste soort.
Om met 1 positief punt af te sluiten: het zicht is waanzinnig (als je kamer aan de juiste kant van de villa ligt tenminste).

I'm so sorry you were so disappointed with your stay and that you thought the villa 'dated'. It IS dated, an original 1960s mid-century villa. We clearly market ourselves that way and are proud of the history of the villa. None of the photos were photo shopped. Most guests who arrive are awed and tell us that the reality is far more breathtaking than the photos can convey.
I'm sorry about the 'sub-standard shower', I would very much appreciate knowing in what way?
However, I completely understand many of the points you made. In fact another guest made the same two points, about no breakfast or maid service in the rooms. I have taken this in and just today have found someone who can come each day to provide breakfast for room guests and also provide a maid service in the rooms. So your feedback has been invaluable.
To be fair, when people book on BDC we specifically prepared an email template explaining that we are not a hotel because people have arrived and been unhappy not to find hotel services. But I guess people don't always read their welcome email. We have now changed this template to reflect the change in our services, thanks to your important feedback!
We appreciate you taking the time to write about your experience. We are new to this room rental trial, and as a result of your feedback, we are now learning from our first two weeks offering rooms.
Your honesty is invaluable for us going forward, so again, thank you.

Wonderful
☺ No breakfast was available.
☹ I was unaware that we did not have an en suite bathroom! I feel the room
Lacked a few details such as a headboard and perhaps bottled water to welcome us! However, the view from
Our room was spectacular!
Thanks for your review Pamela. We normally only rent the villa as entire self-catering holiday rental, not rooms, so we're not set up to provide meals, which is specified in our listing. In fact we haven't rented rooms since 2019 but thought to try it for two weeks this summer.
We plan headboards for the two remaining bedrooms over winter.
we're glad you enjoyed the spectacular view from your room and hope to see you again some time.

Splendid stay
Wonderful place. The view on the lake from the balcony and swimming pool is even more beautiful than you can imagine. Nice area to spend your days cycling, walking and visit the towns on the lake. Also visiting more by taking the boats and ferry.
The house has several bedrooms, we slept very good in the bed. So if it is available don’t hesitate
Dear Herman, we're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the view and your stay at our place! Looking forward to welcoming you back for more memorable experiences. Safe travels!

Magnifico!
☺ We had an amazing stay in this Villa, in a beautiful and romantic room with a full view on Como Lake. The owner Chanel spoiled us since we were the only guests! Really grateful and I hope to go back sooner or later!

One of the best view at Como lake
☺ Amazing view. Nice place. Thank you Barbara for care.
☹ Book it only if you have car. Without car it is difficult to rich and travel, no taxi, no bus or another transport. Taxi from Bellagio is expensive.
