This apartment is a luxurious split level property situated on the first and mezzanine floors of a newly restored Rustico residence which has been refurbished to an exceptionally high standard throughout and which enjoys an elevated position on the hillside, in the charming semi-rural village of Pianello del Lario which lies on the north western shore of Lake Como.
This distinctive property is reached by a small flight of steps from the road level and then a further flight of stone steps which take guests to the property itself.
This apartment offers modern and open plan living with a light and spacious reception room which offers guests a marble-top kitchen, a stylish dining area and a contemporary seating area with modernist leather sofa and footstall with Sat TV. Views from the room are of the semi rural locality and of Lake Como with its serene waters and dramatic mountain tops.
French doors lead from the living area to a well-proportioned and sunny roof terrace ideal for entertaining! Dining table and chairs are provided so that guests can enjoy authentic Italian âAl-frescoâ dining whilst taking in the panoramic Lake views which are truly spectacular!
Inside the property a flight of steps leads guests to an open mezzanine level above the living area, where a romantic French-style double bed is situated.
Outside there is a shared swimming pool
There is a further double bed in the living area. In total, up to 4 people can comfortably spend their holiday in this project.
The property is situated near to a free public Car parking facility ensuring guests need not worry about parking whilst on holiday.
Although the situation of the property is beautifully serene there are amenities close by which are just a short drive away. The lakeside towns of Cremia and Domasso both offer watersport activities and local amenities, and are situated 4km away from Pianello. The well-serviced lakefront town of Dongo with its wide variety of restaurants is also conveniently located just 2 km away.
The very famous and picturesque lakeside Resort town of Menaggio is situated approximately just a 20 minuteâs drive away and offers a wide selection of shops both local and boutique, as well as cafes, bars, restaurants and local attractions for visitors to enjoy. A fast and frequent Car and Passenger ferry service also operates from the town, enabling visitors to explore the eastern shore of Lake Como, which boasts the two exceptionally pretty Resort towns of Bellagio and Varenna.
Property was easy to find. Then again we were very familiar with the area as we stayed there before.
Our favourite Restaurant is probably Bilacus in Bellagio. They are very friendly, the food is authentic and really good. It's also quite reasonable considering the quality. The roof terrace is also a great spot.
Villa Balbianello was a good way to spend a couple of hours. There was a little speedboat trip to get there and the Gardens were amazing.
It's a pity the weather was so bad for the first few days. Overall we had a great holiday. There are loads of things to do in Lake Como. From boat rides to great Restaurants. It is truly one of the most amazing spots in the world. The staff at Lake Como homes were very helpful and there if we needed them at any time.
Thanks a million and hope to see you again soon.
Meine Frau und ich waren jetzt im Juni 2025. Die Wohnung ist sauber, schön hergerichtet und es ist soweit alles da was man fĂŒr einen schönen Urlaub braucht. Wir haben unseren eigenen Schwenkgrill mitgenommen, dass war auch gut so. Ăber eine Steintreppe fĂŒhrt der Weg vorbei an Lucky, der kleffende Nachbarhund, der hinter dem Zaun seine ZĂ€hne zeigt. Die Schlafzimmer sind sehr hell, da es keine Jalousie gibt. Alles andere ist echt gut und zu empfehlen. Der Pool ist ein separater Gemeinschaftspool, der nichts besonderes ist. Pool am Hang unterhalb der StraĂe.
Die Aussicht vom Balkon der Wohnung ist fantastisch. Das war auch der Grund warum wir uns fĂŒr diese Wohnung entschieden haben.
Die Raumaufteilung ist innovativ so dass aus wenig Platz wirklich viel gemacht werden konnte.
Die Wohnung selbst ist sehr gut ausgestattet mit LiegestĂŒhle, Sonnenschirm, SpĂŒhl- und Waschmaschine. Sogar ein Regenschirm ist fĂŒr alle FĂ€lle greifbar.
Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen ist vielleicht die Sauberkeit. Es war OK, aber fĂŒr 160 Euro Reinigungspauschale dann doch nicht angemessen.
Schön wĂ€re ein Vorhang fĂŒr die Fenster nach SĂŒden, damit bei Tag die WĂ€rme drauĂen bleibt

We had a fantastic time. The apartment is very high quality and the rooftop terrace is amazing. The swimming pool is also really good. The apartment, the pool and the location were better than we expected. It was really great.
This was the first time that as a family we have had a holiday in Italy and it will not be the last.
We took day trips to Lugano, Milan and Bellagio and would recommend all three to other visitors.
Favourite restaurant was Gatto Rosso in Milan and there is nice little coffee/cake/delicatessen place in Dongo called Galli which we also liked a lot.

Belmonte Terrazzo
We stayed for 3 nights, from Tuesday 17th to Friday 20th of June 2014 - 4 stars given for the view.
There were approximately 25 narrow, steep, stone steps to climb to get to this apartment, plus another 10 or more to get into the apartment itself. It might not sound much, but this was tough going with 5 suitcases and 5 pieces of hand luggage, plus a few bags of groceries, but once you get up there, the apartment is pleasant, but oh my goodness, it's the view that makes this apartment wonderful.... the view is breathtakingly beautiful and well worth that climb....if you don't have a heart attack on the way up, that is.
The apartment is modern, clean and fitted out well. The main living area did feel small, maybe too small for 5 adults and really only had enough comfy seating for 4 people, but we didn't spend much time in there, so it wasn't a big problem for us.
The main bedroom was large and really nice. I'd advise that some sort of window covering be provided for the arch window that's opposite the bed, as we felt exposed to the properties next door, especially at night with the lights on.
There were sheets on the bed, but the quilt covers hadn't been put on the duvets, they were screwed up in a hanging space in the wardrobe.
The kitchen and bathroom were fine. Both were clean, modern and functional.
The area is quiet, but very beautiful and we loved it. Having the swimming pool was brilliant and we made great use of it. A big plus was having a shower and toilet down by the pool.
A small, modern apartment, with exceptional views, beautiful scenery and places to visit, but suitable for able bodied people only. I wouldn't advise anyone who has problems with stairs or families with small children, to stay here. For everyone else, the apartments view will win you over.
Thank you for a great stay.
We had such a fabulous time staying in Belmonte Terrazzo this July! The holiday apartment was just what we were looking for on the western shore; it was totally perfect!
Belmonte Terrazzo was just fabulous! Thanks so much for making our Lake Como vacation so wonderful! The apartment was so unique inside and out; with super modern-rustico style interiors and a pretty lake view roof terrace that we enjoyed - each and every day! The pool was across the road and had even more amazing lake views! The period property was located in a tranquil hillside location of Pianello del Lario and we found it very easy to reach Menaggio with our rental car. There were lots of restaurants nearby and our most memorable dining experiences were at La Baia in Cremia, Ristorante di Paolo in Menaggio and La Barcola on the road towards Porlezza.
Happy Holiday Homes were totally great at helping us make the most of our vacation. Thanks so much guys!

My girlfriends and I decided on a 2 week getaway this year on Lake Como. We had all enjoyed holidays here previously so we knew we would enjoy it! We knew that staying in Pianello would be both peaceful and accessible for the central lake.
The newly refurbished property was perfectly stylish and chic inside and out, and was topped off by a sunny private balcony terrace. The communal pool was situated across the road, which may sound inconvenient but the road is very narrow and hardly used due to the hillside location of the holiday home. We had flip flops so really didn't mind! All the must-haves feature to the property and I loved my pretty bedroom with french-style interior. The living area and all the rooms were utterly charming, with exposed stone work, beamed ceilings and all the finishing touches you would expect from a luxury home.
The fully-equipped kitchen was really fun to cook in and we enjoyed some delicious meals out at nearby La Baia, La Darsena and the country-style La Fagurida organic restaurant. We parked our hire car at the public parking spaces nearby across the road and we found reaching Menaggio really easy by car.
We all enjoyed the peace of the surrounding area and in the evenings we enjoyed meeting and dancing with the locals at the fun Lidos. There was also a very good spa in Lenno which we would recommend after a day of sightseeing and activities.
Thank you for a lovely stay!

Ferienwohnung mit WohlfĂŒhl-Charakter
Wir waren leider nur fĂŒr 4 Tage in dieser wunderschönen Ferienwohnung. Sie ist mit hochwertigen Möbeln und KĂŒchenutensilien ausgestattet. Tolle Terrasse mit grandioser Aussichtslage. Schlafzimmer mit Charme. Sehr sauber. Haben uns gleich wohlgefĂŒhlt. Man sollte aber gut zu FuĂ sein, da man vom StraĂenniveau bis in die Wohnung sehr viele Stufen ĂŒberwinden muss. AuĂerdem ist der Pool unterhalb der StraĂe. Nette Betreuung durch Lake Como Homes.
