This is a beautiful apartment with a huge private garden. it's located a few steps from the lake, beaches and has a great cafe bar and local seafood restaurant nearby. It's close to Bellagio but away from the crowds. Thanks to Lucia and family for a wonderful stay.

Thought the place was well furnished with a beautiful private garden.
The only let down was that there was no internet and as my husband needed it for work it was a bit inconvenient. For the price we paid it should have it installed.

Our stay was unpleasant to the point we had to leave after 2 days. The main reasons for this were the tiger mosquitoes everywhere in the garden surrounding the apartment combined with the heat. Upon welcoming us the property manager was praisi g the beautiful garden that was just for us. By the time we crossed the garden to reach the apartment we had already been bitten several times. The owner provided some product to burn outside to keep mosquitoes away but it did not work. It also provided a diffuser inside.Amy time from dawn to dusk
Logement très agréable avec un magnifique jardin privatif, à 2 minutes de la plage. L'hôte a été très agréable, serviable, nous donnant beaucoup de renseignements et conseils pour rendre notre séjour le plus agréable possible. Nous recommandons cette location

Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez passé un agréable séjour.
Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt !
Eine gemütliche Wohnung mit allem was notwenig ist,
und vorallem einen großen Garten hervorragend für unseren Hund, und mit herrlichem Blick ins Hinterland, eine Minute zu Fuß zum See,
Paula - eine sehr freundliche Gastgeberin,
vielen DANK
We had a wonderful and relaxing vacation in this charming place. We most enjoyed having our own all fenced in garden with palmtrees, relaxing time on our own and still able to be in 2 Min walkway to the beautiful lake and with the cute train or the ferry in Bellagio without moving our car. The apartment fulfills everything how it is promoted. The communication and assistance of Lucia was given at any time and very sincere, thank you very much! This place is a secret tip - also for well behaved dogs!
Prachtige locatie met een prachtige tuin! Het huis heeft geen airco, maar is heerlijk koel.
San Giovanni is mooi idyllisch plaatsje, dat iets meer afgelegen is. Dit is erg rustig en gemoedelijk, maar er zijn ook iets minder restaurants op loopafstand. Deze zijn veelal in Bellagio centrum te vinden, maar 30min wandelen met een hond in 30 graden langs een doorgaande autoweg is niet fijn. Wij raden toch aan om met de auto te gaan.
Het gebrek aan WiFi (voor het opzoeken van informatie/tijden over musea/watershuttle/restaurant reserveringen etc) is ook wel onhandig gebleken. Hiervoor moet je naar een lokale bar op 50m afstand. Ook de 3G verbinding is erg onstabiel in deze omgeving. Tip: Zoek alles thuis op voor vertrek! En vergeet voor je muggenspray niet.
The apartment has pros and cons
Pros: huge garden
close to the lake (short walk) with phantastic vue from there
you are for yourself
you find almost everything you need in the apartment
cons: bed is too small
many mosquitos,
furniture is old and smells old
no parking place
noisy street
Toller Urlaub, schönes Haus, Traumgarten und beste Betreuerfamilie
Wir sind sehr glücklich bei diesem Haus und dieer super lieben Familie, die uns betreut hat, gelandet zu sein. Das Haus ist exakt wie beschrieben und der Garten ein Traum. Als Stadtkinder mussten wir uns, zugegeben, erstmal an das liebe Krabbelgetier gewöhnen, aber das hat nichts mit der Unterkunft direkt zu tun. Ist halt ein echt großer Garten. Alles war sauber und super vorbereitet und die Familie hat uns jederzeit bei Fragen und kleinen Problemen geholfen. Die Lage ist top, knapp 50 Meter zum Wasser und von dort ist man überall schnell mit der Fähre. Auch mit dem eigenen Auto hatten wir keinerlei Probleme. Gleich neben dem Haus ist ein öffentlicher Parkplatz, wo wir zu jeder Tageszeit einen Platz bekommen haben. Auch im Stadtkern von Bellagio hatten wir nie Parkplatzprobleme. An Einrichtung im Haus fehlt nichts und auch bei deutlich über 30 Grad war es drinnen überraschend kühl.
Alles in allem 5/5 Sterne.

Eine sehr schöne Ferienwohnung mit behaglich-geschmackvollem Flair
Das mit antiken Möbeln geschmackvoll eingerichtete Appartement bildet mit dem parkähnlichen Garten ein einmaliges Ensemble. Küche und Bad lassen keine Wünsche offen. Die Lage im Ortsteil San Giovanni ist super. Ein kleines Restaurant und ein Bistro liegen nur wenige Meter entfernt. Die Gastgeberinnen Lucia und Tochter Tania sind sehr freundlich und haben unseren Aufenthalt mit herzlicher Zuwendung und Hilfsbereitschaft begleitet. Ihre Tipps und Anregungen für Ausflüge und Touren waren sehr hilfreich für uns. Wir haben in diesem Appartment einen ganz besonders schönen Urlaub verlebt. Gerne kommen wir wieder.
