Villa Serena, Plesio, Italy

Lake view heaven!

With far reaching views taking in La Gaeta of James Bond ‘Casino Royal’ fame, the famous Bellagio peninsular and the unspoilt eastern shore where Varenna can be found, this special holiday retreat offers an exclusive and serene setting in which to enjoy quality moments together with family and friends.

Newly built, the rustic-style modern holiday villa is surrounded by nature and is situated in a luxury residence less than 10 minute’s drive from the vibrant heart of Menaggio.

Groups of 6 can easily relax and unwind in their own exclusive villa retreat, with three floors of high-quality contemporary modern accommodation to enjoy. Complemented with under floor heating, the interior offers a cosy and inviting place to stay in any season, and has been furnished with both style and comfort in mind.

The spacious open plan living area offers a fabulous setting in which guests can come together to eat, relax and socialize. A chic sitting area is equipped with a flat screen TV for guest’s enjoyment.

French doors lead directly out onto a spectacular large sunny lake view terrace with its own private unheated swimming pool (OPENING 1st JUNE) and extensive gardens providing an added touch of luxury for guests of all ages. Complemented with stylish outdoor furniture this chic space is a great place to relax, dine alfresco and enjoy the stunning views.

A contemporary fitted kitchen is fully-equipped to answer all your needs, and is provided alongside a stylish dining area which boasts splendid lake views from its large picture window.

Upstairs the boutique-style interior continues to the two spacious bedrooms. Boasting a high beamed ceiling, the master bedroom suite enjoys a romantic ambience ideal for enjoying a tempting lie-in. With beautiful lake views to serve as an idyllic back drop, the room also offers couples direct access to the sunny balcony terrace and to a contemporary fitted en-suite shower room.

The second bedroom to the first floor also benefits from lake views and balcony access, for a restful and memorable setting in which to unwind. Furnished with a twin set of single beds, the room offers a flexible arrangement for additional guests or for a second couple, as the beds may be joined.

A stylish room to the lower ground level continues the modern contemporary theme providing additional flexibility for sleeping or relaxing with a double sofa bed and its own en-suite bathroom.

The villa has private parking.

The hillside village of Plesio offers a host of useful amenities and is within enviable reach of Menaggio, less than 10 minute’s drive away!

The picturesque resort town offers an idyllic setting in which to enjoy a morning cappuccino, romantic evening meal, a relaxed day at the Lido or an action-packed day of water sports, boat hire, kayaking, hiking, golf and tennis.

As well as the activities on offer in Menaggio and its hillside, guests are perfectly placed for reaching the famous villa attractions and the nearby pursuits of sailing, tree-top climbing, extreme sports, spa days, sea plane trips and skiing at the resorts of Piani di Bobbio, St Moritz and Madesimo.

Clean spacious accommodations. Lovely outdoor pool and patio furniture and good parking space. Also thank you for the welcome pack which was well received especially after arriving late evening.A 30 minute walk into Menaggio up a very steep hill.Despite good directions from owner still very hard to find especially in the dark, needs a signpost at side of the road.Despite it being a private garden and pool had Americans in neighbouring villa wanting to share the pool, they were politely declined.

Okay

This was a solid 3 stars for us. First, the view of the mountains and the lake from the pool does not exist and hasn’t for years. There are 10’ high bushes that completely block the view. We told the management about it and they gave us a small rebate. It was very disappointing because we booked this ‘villa’ (a townhouse) due to the picture of the pool. Also important to note that the bed slopes so your feet are higher than your head. It was nice to have the pool to ourselves. But there isn’t much privacy. We had a loud kid in the unit next to us that made enjoying the view (from the front yard) difficult. For the price it was fine. But it wasn’t as shown.

Summer stay

Great property, really appreciated the welcome boxes which were waiting for us on arrival. Only downside was the lawns were quite long and unmown, the key wasn't available when we turned up and the pool was dirty when we arrived (to their credit they sent someone to clean the pool asap).

Disliked: Cleanliness

Basics ungenügend

Sauberkeit war Verbesserungswürdig. Pool musste von uns selbst gereinigt werden. Equipment wie zB Toaster, Kaffeemaschine, Staubsauger nur bedingt funktionsfähig. Zu wenig Geschirr vorhanden. Putz- und Trockentücher gar nicht vorhanden. Nur ein Sonnenschirm und dieser war beschädigt. Aus dem Inserat ist nicht ersichtlich dass direk nebenan ein weiteres Grundstück ist, womit man bzgl. Lautstärke stark beeinträchtigt ist von anderen Urlaubern. Die Aussicht hingegen ist sehr. Alles in allem jedoch zu dem Preis + Zustand nicht empfehlenswert.

Keine zweite Chance für den ersten Eindruck

Wir hatten uns wirklich sehr auf dieses Wochenende gefreut, aber anscheinend waren wir die ersten Gäste der Saison und dementsprechend war das Haus nicht richtig vorbereitet. Ja, die Betten waren bezogen und Handtücher waren da und den Pool hatte man vorzeitig auf unseren Wunsch eingelassen, aber man hätte ihn vorher auch putzen sollen. Das Gras war nicht gemäht und auch die Terrassenmöbel und Liegen waren noch im Keller. In den Festerscharniere und draußen unter der Decke hingen Spinnweben. Der Backofen war völlig verdreckt und der Teppich im EG war nicht gesaugt (es gab 2 Saubsauger, die beide kaputt waren). Die Duschtür im 1. OG konnte nicht ganz geschlossen werden. Das Bad im Souterrain und die Kissen auf der Couch dort hatten massive Stockflecken. In der Küche gab es keinen großen Topf zum Kochen. Das Haus an sich und die Lage sind TOP! Die Agentur hat sich bemüht, und uns zwei mal den Hausmeister (der sich wirklich ein großes Lob verdient hat) und zwei mal die Putzleute geschickt (es war trotzdem nicht richtig sauber). Trotzdem ärgert man sich über soviel Unprofessionalität und dass jedesmal das Wochenende unterbrochen wurde.
