About this property

Casa Bellavista has been sympathetically renovated over three years to an exceptionally high standard. Despite having all the facilities of modern day living, it still retains the magic and character of the original 'rustico' house. The designer kitchen with large marble island, two luxury bathrooms, WC, three large bedrooms, one with walk-in wardrobe, open plan top floor living area and idyllic private roof terrace should leave you wanting for nothing. Casa Bellavista is set in the heart of Someraro and provides easy access to the picturesque towns that inhabit the palm lined esplanades of Lake Maggiore.

Beautiful stay

We enjoyed our stay so much. The property was clean, and the location perfect. We brought our 2yo and had to watch the stairs as they are a little tricky for small legs! Besides that we will definitely be back in the future.

Vue magnifique

En vacances avec des amis, nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'hébergement qui est idéalement situé pour visiter la région du lac Majeur, Stresa, Cannobio, Baverna, Pallanza, Orta et son lac, les îles Borromées, ... Nous sommes allés jusqu'à Milan par le train. Nous avons dégusté les spécialités gastronomiques italiennes dans plusieurs restaurants à des tarifs très corrects. L'hébergement est très bien équipé pour 6 personnes et le toit terrasse offre une vue extraordinaire sur le lac. Nous recommons cet hébergement et félicitons Joanna et John pour la renovation.

Wunderschöne Unterkunft

Wir durften 6 Tage in dieser wunderschönen Wohnung am Lago Maggiore einen Teil unseres Urlaubes verbringen. Die Wohnung ist sehr liebevoll und persönlich eingerichtet, es fehlt an nichts. Der Weg nach Stresa ist recht steil, für Knie verletzte Personen, wie mich, ging es also leider nur mit dem Auto nach Stresa, ansonsten eine tolle Lage mit herrlichem Ausblick. Top Ausgangspunkt für etliche Ausflüge. Der Kontakt mit der Vermieterin ist unschlagbar gut!!! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Herzlichen Dank

Beautiful location and property

This was a beautiful location. The house was well equipped and a perfect get away for a family. Lots of stairs. The only reason that we gave this is a 4-star rating was the internet, which was necessary for us to communicate with our business.

Very Nice Stay

The property is located up a hill about 10 mins by car outside Stresa. The views from the terrace over the lake are beautiful. The property is well equipped and spacious. The nearest restaurant to the property is Ristorante Cardini which is a 5 minute walk away - lovely big terrace with a view over the lake , good food, service and fair priced, gets busy so worth booking in advance. Other than that there is a good choice in Stresa

Tolle Lage, Unterkunft durchwachsen

Zunächst das Positive: Die Gastgeberin gibt sich viel Mühe und gibt wertvolle Tipps für den Aufenthalt. Die Lage der Wohnung ist klasse und die Einrichtung liebevoll. Die Kehrseite ist, dass das Haus leider sehr feucht ist, insbesondere im Bad und in den Schlafbereichen. Wer also diesbezüglich empfindlich ist, auch bei Schimmel im Bad, sollte das Haus meiden. Außerdem hätten wir uns bei der aufgerufenen Reinigungsgebühr mehr Sauberkeit insbesondere in der Küche und bei den Böden gewünscht. Die Schlafbereiche sind aber sauber und gepflegt, haben nur leider bis auf ein Schlafzimmer feuchte Wände.

Another fabulous stay!

We all absolutely love staying at Casa Bellavista! The high quality property has everything you want and the views are totally amazing, better than any camera can capture! This was our second stay here and we found plenty of new things to try including the Maggiore 1.8km zip line which was fab! We had a wonderful meal at Cardini's which is 2 min walk from the property with wonderful lake views. We would highly recommend a stay here! Looking forward to our next visit already!

Eine versteckte Perle

Das Haus ist in Wirklichkeit viel schöner als die Bilder auf Fewo. Geräumig, liebevoll eingerichtet u. die Aussicht von der Dachterasse ist grandios. Die Abwicklung - top. Der Weg zu Haus den Google-Maps vorschlägt ist nicht gut, kauf fahrbar - weil man da von Oben zum Haus geleitet wird. Auf jeden Fall einen Weg suchen der direkt von unten zum Haus führt !!! Ich würde dieses Haus auf jeden Fall wieder buchen !

Mieux que sur le plan !

L' appréciation de "Fabuleux" est totalement justifiée. La maison est tout confort avec les pièces de vie au dernier étage ce qui permet d'avoir en permanence la vue sur le lac et les trois îles en face. Le Roof Top conforte pleinement cette vue en profitant du plein air. Mention spéciale à Joanna pour sa réactivité avec sollicitude lors de nos échanges que ce soit avant ou pendant la location. Si vous avez besoin de "lacher prise", c'est la location qu'il vous faut. Le panorama suffit pour vous ressourcer et vous faire le plus grand bien ! Merci pour ce beau moment passé à Someraro.

Fantastic view; great accommodations; wonderful host!

We had a lovely stay in Someraro. This property had everything we needed for a family of 4 and it was very nicely remodeled. A bit of a caution if stairs are an issue, as this home has three different levels, but that's also what allows for the gorgeous view from the living and kitchen area. The stairs were easy to navigate and not a problem for us at all. The master bedroom is on the main floor as you walk in. It has a very spacious and beautiful bathroom. The next level has the two other bedrooms which were spacious, along with a full bath to share. The top floor is where you will find a kitchen and the living room which has ample, very comfortable seating and a nice dining table. There is also a half bath on this floor. We didn't do a lot of cooking besides a simple breakfast, but the kitchen seemed to have everything one would need. The host was very responsive both before and during our trip and provided a lot of helpful information about the area in her welcome/check-in email as well as in a very comprehensive book in the home. I will note it was about a 30 minute walk (down hill) to Stresa and a 35 minute walk (up hill - fairly steep) back to the home in Someraro. We did this one day and it was a significant but doable walk. However, the host can provide the number of a driver in town who will pick you up and drive you to Stresa and take you back for the return trip too. The drivers seem to help each other out. If one isn't available they will contact a colleague and get you where you need to go. We found this to be very easy to do and used the drivers in the evenings. We were very happy with our stay and would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Joanna Rigby

We both live and work in England but share a passion for travel and exploring the sights and sounds of other countries. Before we got together, Jonathan backpacked round the world for a year and wrote back home every month telling us all about the exciting destinations he was exploring. Aside from travelling, we both love cooking, our weekly yoga classes, learning the Italian language and fitness. Jonathan is crazy about golf and Graphic Novels (comics) while Joanna is crazy about all kinds of literature, especially the classics. We both love walking in the countryside and above all, we love having fun! We are most at home when we're in the mountains or by the sea. Beautiful locations are what make us smile, along with our beautiful daughter Isabella Sophia, who was born on 1st April 2011.

Why they chose this property

We bought Casa Bellavista in 2006, the year we got engaged. I have been visiting Italy with my family since the age of 13 when I first fell in love with this magnificent country. In 2006 Jonathan proposed to me by the Trevi Fountain in Rome and it was at this point that Italy for me was firmly established in my mind as the most romantic country on the planet! We spent an exhilarating few weeks as a newly engaged couple, exploring Italy by train and falling more and more in love with the country and each other. We both love everything about Bella Italia; the food, the people, the culture, the stunning scenery, the shops, the weather, the list is endless! Lake Maggiore has to be one of the most romantic lakes in the world and for this reason, we looked for a property here.

What makes this property unique

When we first found Casa Bellavista it was a derelict wreck, but we could see the potential. Set in the picturesque village of Someraro, once we stepped foot in the house we knew we couldn't leave without signing on the dotted line! It was the scariest thing we have ever done, but the most exhilarating. It took over three years to complete Casa Bellavista, with the help of a fantastic architect and builder, but we got there in the end. Casa Bellavista offers the romance and tranquillity we craved and yet it is so near to so many fantastic attractions. We have made friends with the locals and are now able to converse with them in our pigeon Italian! We hope our guests will feel as at home in Casa Bellavista as we do. It really is set in one of the most beautiful locations in the world!
