About this property

A fantastic Lake Como retreat!

Enjoy a fabulous lake-view house in the village of Pianello. Ideal for families, a short walk to the lake, and its attractions and amenities.
Arranged over 2 levels, with a spacious living area, kitchen, 3 double bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a quiet back garden and a small balcony overlooking the lake.

The house is our family retreat, and has a relaxing and homely atmosphere, which we hope your own family will enjoy as much as we do.
The house is arranged over two (and a half) levels, with a spacious living area and separate fully-functional kitchen and dining seating 6 people, three double bedrooms (one twin and one on a double level; baby cot can be added), one bathroom (with walk-in shower), and one additional toilet and utility room. There is a quiet back garden with a wonderful mountain view, and a lovely balcony directly facing the lake. There are also lake views from two of the bedrooms and the living room. Free parking is one minute away from the house.

As our family retreat for about twenty years, the house has been furnished and decorated simply and tastefully, with personal touches. We have created a homely, relaxing and welcoming atmosphere, which we hope your own family will also enjoy.

A short walk from the house brings you straight down to the the lakefront of Pianello with its pretty marina, and excellent lakeside cafes and restaurants offering a range of simple or sophisticated cuisine.
For the sporty ones, there is a great choice of activities to enjoy in the area: from kite-surfing to sailing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing and hiking.

On quieter days, besides enjoying the many little beaches, there is a variety of wonderful places to visit along the lake and the surrounding mountains, including Bellagio, Managgio, Varenna, Como, Lugano in Switzerland. Many picturesque villages that can be reached by boat, short drives, or pleasant walks. There are plenty of books and maps in the house to provide guide and suggestions throughout your visit.

Other things to note:
The house is entirely yours during your stay!
Please note the house and the garden are strictly no smoking; no pet allowed, sorry.
We very much hope that you'll enjoy the family-friendly atmosphere in the house; we welcome the sharing of books and toys, but please make sure you treat them as if they were yours!

A final note: from June 2024, the local council requires that each visitor pays upon arrival a tourist tax of Euro 1 per person per day. For more info, please see the house guide and www.comune.pianellodellario.co.it.-->UfficioTributi-->Modulistica-Imposta di soggiorno.

From November 2024, the house fully complies with the new regulations for short lettings, including the provision of fire extinguishers (one for each floor), full drinking water analysis, as well as a complete and well-stock first aid box.

I'm an Italian Londoner working in neuroscience and mother of two boys. When I am not working, emailing, travelling, or being a mum, I like reading, movies, art and chatting with friends.

Why they chose this property

This is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy both the stunning Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. Being located in a village the house offers peace and relax, but the close proximity to many touristic destinations (Bellagio, Varenna, Lugano, Como) allows exciting day trips also by boat.

What makes this property unique

The house has a fantastic front view of the Lake and of the mountains, which can also be admired from the back and the garden. The separate floors, and the split-level bedroom offer versatile use of the house, which is very handy when traveling with children (and teens!).
