The Space:
This Italian Lakes lakeside villa is right on the lake with private lawns stretching to the shore. Renovated in 2014, the property is furnished to a high standard in a contemporary style. The villa is laid out over two levels, with the living and bedroom space being on the first floor.
On this level, there is the kitchen, living / dining area, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The main bathroom was refurbished in 2015. The living area is very colourful and welcoming with armchairs, sofas and a dining table, along with a fireplace for those winter rentals. Elegant chandeliers hang from the ceiling and there is access to a large terrace. The terrace itself has a dining table and chairs along with a more relaxed seating area around a coffee table. The interior has been particularly arranged so that all rooms offer amazing views over the lake and to the picturesque towns on the opposite shore, Meina, Lesa and Belgirate.
The lower floor of this Italian Lakes lakeside villa is completely open to the lake and includes the laundry room. There is direct access to the lake, with a gently sloping lawn, leading to the beach area.
Guest Access:
Guests have sole use of the entire villa.
The Neighborhood:
Ranco is a quiet lakeside town however boasts a number of amenities that guests will find useful including a village shop, lakeside cafe and bar and three restaurants including a Michelin Star restaurant. The villa is also less than a minutes walk from the boat stop where you can catch a boat to other towns and villages on the lake. Catch the early morning boat to one of the other villages, enjoy a spot of lunch and catch a boat back again later in the afternoon.
Getting Around:
We do strongly recommend guests hire a car when staying at this Italian Lakes lakeside villa as it will allow you to explore more of the lake however it is possible to stay here without a car. The boat stop is less than a minutes walk away where you can catch a boat to other towns and villages on the lake. There is also a cafe, bar, restaurant and village store within walking distance.
Other Things to Note:
There is nothing better than enjoying direct lake access when you're holidaying in the Italian Lakes and this Italian Lakes lakeside villa delivers this in bucketfuls! The garden is a wonderful space, with lawns sloping down to the lake water. There is nothing more peaceful than enjoying a BBQ here in the evening listening to the lake water lapping against the shore. However, as an added bonus, we love the fact that if you don't feel in the mood for cooking, you have a choice of great restaurants to walk to (or you can even catch a boat to one of the restaurants in the other lakeside towns and enjoy lunch somewhere else).
Interaction with Guests:
There is a local point of contact if guests need anything during their stay, otherwise, we leave our guests to enjoy their holiday in the villa in peace.
