About this property

The Cloud House

Villa Ponti Bellavista is a mid-Century villa designed in collaboration with one of Italy’s most famous architects, Gio Ponti. It has been carefully renovated to retain as many original features of the period as possible. All immaculately original bathroom tiles and fixtures (updated shower), extravagant marble floors and wooden paneling. To see a recent article about this in the UK's top design magazine, Wallpaper,' you can search for 'Wallpaper Villa Ponti Bellavista'.

The villa is nestled in a cedar forest on its private grounds above the Lecco arm of Lake Como on a hill with haw dropping views of the lakes, mountains, and Swiss Alps in the distance.

Three of the 6 bedrooms have lake views (one with double exposure and these with lakeside balconies) and three have forest views, with two of these having garden access.

Once you enter the double gates to the property, the cedar lined driveway takes you to another world.

Other services, such as private locally cooked meals, massages, yoga classes, tours etc can be arranged at extra cost.

Please note that check in is 5pm and checkout 10am. This is particularly important in high season when we have minimum stays of one week and same day changeovers.

In winter heating is not included in the lower rate and is instead charged on a consumption basis.

In summer, if air conditioning is used, (extremely rarely needed because our elevation means it is cooler than everywhere else) if air conditiioning costs exceed 30 euros/day, extra is paid by guests on conumption. This is to encourage responsible use of resources. No guest has ever exceeded this amount.

A chef can be engaged to cook for one meal, or an entire week. Please ask.

an amazing destination, beautiful home with an awe inspiring view. The pool area is special.
This property sits in the small Italian town of Civenna that is a few kilometers from the bustling destination that is Bellagio. Civenna has a small grocery that has everything you need and across is the street is a small family bakery. The home lends itself to family get togethers, with a tremendous dining table and beautiful bathrooms on both levels.

Incredible views unique design
I love unique architecture and this placer certainly has that in spades. Views to die for. Great experience for our family and friends. We loved the restaurants recommended. But really, we didn't feel we needed to go anywhere else. Such peace here. Thank you!

Two couples bought the property in July 2017 and set about a grand renovation. The pool and wellness centre area was built in 2019.

Why they chose this property

Every person who has walked into the property has been dumb struck by the view. Locals say it's the most beautiful on the lake.
We were no different. Although it needed a lot of work, we could see it's potential

What makes this property unique

Two separate levels that allow large families space to be together while still having their own living areas. Most rooms have their own outdoor space and terrace. There are 5.5 bathrooms and a guest toilet.
The design is unique.
The garden is like a hidden paradise.
