Large House with Rooftop Sun Terrace and Lake View

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.

We had a lovely week in Casa Bellavista. What amazing views! It’s a comfortable property and well located. Really enjoyed the meal at Cardini - tried to go back again on our last night but they are closed on Tuesday.

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.

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!

Beautiful views
We loved staying at Casa Bella Vista. The views of Lake Maggiore were tremendous from the house which took our breath away ... really a million dollar view. Everything was clean and functional. The dining area and kitchen are open plan which we really loved. It was also fun to reside in an Italian village for 10 days. The restaurant in the village was also lovely and of gourmet standard.

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

Perfect week
Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. The little town is lovely, and there are many easily accessible, and well sign-posted walks in the area. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well-appointed, and the view spectacular. A week was not enough. Oh, yes, and then there is your host Joanna, who is super responsive and ever so helpful.

If this property is available, reserve it!!
Wonderful home with a roof terrace that can’t be beat, but a lot of stairs due to 4 levels so be warned. Mosquitos were plenty in July so buy repellent. Otherwise a fabulous property overlooking the lake. We enjoyed it tremendously!

The house with everything - especially a view
This is a wonderful holiday home. It has loads of steps so be aware of that but the roof terrace is the real star of the show with amazing views of Lake Maggiore - we sat there every evening watching the sun set. Joanna is amazing - she suggested trips and restaurants we would never have tried otherwise and they turned out to be highlights of our week in Stresa. The house is beautifully and sympathetically furnished and equipped with everything you could ever need. It's great value and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Wonderful stay!
This house is amazing and one can tell The care and love that was put forth in the restoration. One of the teens proclaimed that it made her feel like a princess. 3 stars for listing accuracy because the 150 euro cleaning fee to be left at end of stay was a surprise although to be fair I didn’t read the fine print . Even going back to the listing I had a hard time catching it. This is a minor critique as everything about this house was lovely.

Unforgettable accomodation
If you are looking for something special, a special building in a special surrounding, a unique experience in a holiday accomodation, then this is for you. The building is a refurbished old village house, decorated with the most sensitive feeling for style but at the same time keeping its charme. The photos say it allm, they are not "photoshopped", everything is as it is shown there. The view from the roof terrace (and also from the living room by the way) is truly unforgettable. You are tempted to just sit there for the whole holidays and watch the lake, in the morning with its mist, during the day when it becomes active and at night when the lights come up and everything looks like glittering juwels. The accomodation is spacious and very modernly equipped, sleeping rooms are on the ground floor and first floor, living room and kitchen on the second floor. The kitchen has a gas stove and oven, dish washer, there is even a washing machine and dryer which is priceless for families with children. The region itself belongs to the most special in Europe in my view, Alps mountain area with a huge lake and an atmosphere like at the Italian cost with palm trees and exotic fruits, unique combination. Stresa is glamorous, with loads of restaurants and an impressive seafront promenade which invites for walks. Milano is a 1.5 hrs drive away if you want to dive into a big city. Lago Orta is around the corner with picturesque villages where every turn looks like from a travel guide. The host is good as gold, as other reviews mention as well, responding quickly, friendly, helpful, as you wish a host to be (but rarely experience it). If you have a larger car do follow the instructions in the very valuable welcome pack.

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!

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
