Absolute Paradise

Lake Como, the property and our hosts made our 8 night stay paradise. The views…not just of the lake and mountains, but the expansive gardens, terraces and pool are breathtaking. This property was a labor of love by the hosts and we felt so fortunate that they shared it with us. We have stayed 3 months in Italy on this trip…and nothing compared to this stay. Look forward to spending time in the future at this magnificent property.

This property exceeded out expectations!

If you’re looking for a tranquil getaway with incredible views, this Lake Como property is an absolute gem. We left feeling refreshed and grateful, with unforgettable memories. The property itself exceeded our expectations and what sets it apart is the owners, Marcus and Simona. From providing excellent local recommendations to ensuring that every aspect of our stay was perfect, they made us feel more like cherished guests than mere renters. Their warmth and attentiveness added a personal touch that made our experience even more memorable. a truly special place. Highly recommended!

WOW ~ An unexpected highlight on an incredible Italy trip!

Our stay here exceeded our expectations in every way. The home is beautiful, immaculate, and extremely comfortable. It's located in a small hillside village with character and history - we loved it. And I have to say, Marcus truly sets the bar for all hosts. His communication was timely, helpful and spot on. He even made reservations for us at a local restaurant our first night there at Locanda San Martino, which I highly recommend when you stay here. It's a 1 minute walk and it was one of the best meals we had in our 2 week tour of Italy. All in all, staying here was the best VRBO experience we've had. We (all 4 of us) can't wait to come back and spend more time.

Amazing holiday, hosts and home!

Can't say enough about this lovely home, gracious and helpful hosts and incredible experience. The home has all the modern amenities but an old world feel. It was very comfortable for two couples. The views are breathtaking. Our hosts were accessible, helpful, responsive and warm. The nearby trattoria coludn't do enough to accommodate us. Loved every minute and can't wait to return!

Semnago

The home and grounds are beautiful and the hosts are great. Be prepared for some stressful mountain driving, as roads are narrow and difficult to navigate, but you do get used to it over time. The price to pay for the beautiful vistas is the fact that driving anywhere is a must. We would definitely stay again.

Exceeded Expectations

Unfortunately, we only booked a 2 night stay at this property! The harrowing drive from the main road was well worth staying at this impeccably beautiful home with breathtaking views of Lake Como and the surrounding mountain range. The grounds included private sitting areas and a gorgeous pool that was off the chart! A short walk from the property, we dined at the local restaurant two nights in a row…the owners were so kind and the food and wine selections were amazing!!! Marcus, the owner of the property was so friendly and accommodating. We will definitely come back and highly recommend anyone who is looking for a 5 star resort with all the amenities you need and an awesome view of lake Como!!!

Beautiful Views!

Marcus is an outstanding host and the villa is beautiful and stylish. Outside areas are unbelievable. The drive up from the lake is very exciting and takes some getting used to. Parking was quite challenging for our van. Best to bring smaller bags as you travel a cobblestone path to the house. Marcus provided a wagon to help with the bag transit.

Absolutely unbeatable views of Lake Como.

This was our first visit to Lake Como and we weren't disappointed. The views from the property were absolutely stunning and there are many options across the property of beautiful places to sit to to enjoy the view. The gardens are beautiful with several levels but do be aware that this means there are many stone steps between the house and the pool area. We were a group of 5, including a set of grandparents and an able 3 year old. The stairs weren't a problem for us but might be for others with young children or less able party members. The pool is lovely as is the alfresco kitchen area with pizza oven and bbq. Overall we had a wonderful family holiday and would thoroughly recommend the property.

An elevating experience

The property was absolutely wonderful in every way. It was well stocked with all the basics and more. Everything was spotless including the kitchen and bathrooms. All the rooms look at the lake. The decor was just incredible, full of art and personal touches, it made us feel like we were guests at somebody's home instead of being in a rental. The property includes very lovely and private grounds, where you can relax and maybe have a drink while looking at the lake. It also includes a big, outside patio with a pizza oven and a BBQ. The owners live on the property, but their areas are separate making the rental very private. They were accessible, helpful with recommendations and advice, and very, very gracious. The location is up in the mountains. overlooking the prettiest part of lake Como. From your windows you see the lake, the Italian Alps in the distance, and the ferries going back and forth from town to town. The trip was wonderful and memorable for us.

You couldn't pick a better Villa and Property Owner

From the moment my wife and I booked, Marcus was amazing. He sent information on wineries, restaurants, sightseeing and other events. We arrived to a warm welcome, a clean well taken care of property. The amenities are well appointed, the view is breathing taking. Marcus checked in with us multiple times. He would tell us what the weather was for the next day and if we plans, he would give us great tips on what to do. He connected us with a personal chef who came to the Villa and cooked dinner for us. Massimo arranged a 10 course tasting menu Michelan rated quality. On our last day, we got a flat tire and Marcus was out of town. Simona came to the Villa, arranged for a Service company to come get the tire and replace it during a heavy rain. She stayed with us for over 3 hours making sure everything was OK. So the long and short of it,,, An Amazing Trip, A Great Place to Stay and most importantly Marcus and Simona we now call family. Best choice ever.

Rise to the occasion

Huddled in the majestic montainous green furry embrace of Mennagio, Casa Magnolia is hidden in heights of San Siro The endless sinous path that invites you to heaven is dizzying but comforting as it offers you a preliminary glimpse of Lake Como from the summit and the vastness which whispers serenity and emanates colorful scents. Once on site, the relief of arrival is basked in a hearty and enchanting welcome by Marcus the gregarious, super friendly German host with impeccable Italian verbosity. He celebrates with pride your arrival with meticulous descriptions of your new abode. One is so overwhelmed by the beauty of the surroundings and the accommodations that you are deafened somewhat to his greeting remarks and wise suggestions. The place mimics the mountain as it hugs its side. You inevitably exercise by rising to the occasion The quietness of the area is only intercepted by the chirping of the birds. It sets the mood to contemplation, relaxation and appreciation. The rustic quality of the materials and artistry of the decor combine to render an indelible imprint of a glorious stay Like a fine wine, your stint shall become filled with new scents and intensity that guile you into never departing. Being a world traveler on all continents, this challenges the topnotch of enjoyment and natural splendor. Thank you Marcus and Simona Jean-Louis Bourque, Montreal, Québec, Canada

We have lived in several different countries around the world and traveled a lot. Of all the places we know, Lake Como has always been our favorite to which our family has come back again and again over the years, no matter how far the trip to get here. Since we settled here our love for this unique part of the world has increased even more and we truly feel at home. We enjoy welcoming guests and sharing the unique magic of Lake Como with them.

Why they chose this property

The beauty of the lake and the steep surrounding mountains is spectacular and truly breathtaking. It combines mediterranean and alpine elements into a unique blend. In the spring you see snow on top of the mountains, while on the shores of the lake endless varieties of flowers and trees are in full blossom. Whether you visit the famous towns of Menaggio, Bellagio or Varenna or any of the many small and picturesque hamlets, such as San Martino, what you will find is natural beauty, excellent local food and wine and the classic Italian lifestyle.

What makes this property unique

Casa Magnolia is quite unique since it is stylish and yet cozy, elegant and yet relaxed, secluded and yet close to all the main attractions of Lake Como and surroundings. It combines history and tradition with modern amenities and comfort. Whether you are in the house, by the pool or somewhere in the expansive garden, you will feel at home and have a great time . Casa Magnolia is a place to relax, to dream and to be happy.
