Was amazing and Stefy made sure everything went great.
Beautiful location - great views - wonderful support. All questions and needs were addressed to make it an amazing time. Canât speak highly enough about the support we had.
Stefy made our stay beyond 5 star. She met us at the property, was responsive from day 1, gave us all the insider tips, helped w restaurants, was beyond helpful in check in /out. The view was everything I hoped for and more. The place, clean, modern, quiet. I would stay again and recommend to friends. A gem!
Stefy went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience in Bellagio. The house is amazing with authentic details as well as being clean and having modern amenities. The location of the home was absolutely perfect for our family which provided easy access to the Lake Como beaches and hiking trails with the best view of Lake Como in all of Bellagio. Much gratitude to Stefy and Alex for sharing their home with us and we canât wait to come back!!
My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this stunning vacation rental, and I canât recommend it enough! The home itself is beautifully designed, with spacious rooms filled with natural light and charming decor that makes you feel right at home. The breathtaking views from the terrace were the perfect backdrop for our morning coffee and mid afternoon wine.
What truly made our stay unforgettable was the warmth and friendliness of our host. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, offering local tips and even surprising us with a welcome basket filled with delicious treats and wine.
If youâre looking for a place that combines beauty, comfort, and exceptional service, this is it. I canât wait to return!
Charming little place. Difficult to navigate with car.
Loved this quaint little house! It had everything we needed- but staying in late October required lots of firewood, so be sure to pick up plenty! The bathroom is tiny, with little to no room for anything but you in it, but I believe they are renovating the bathroom this month. A very small car is recommended to navigate the roads to the house. The views were spectacular and the house was a perfect getaway in the mountains! I would recommend this place!
Wow⊠What can I say? This property is amazing!!! Bellagio is already a beautiful destination and this spacious home elevated our experience beyond words. Pictures will never do it justice. Once you sit out on their balcony for the first time and gaze out across the panoramic view, youâll be speechless. Stefy was incredible⊠she was always prompt to answer questions and help guide us whenever we were unsure where to go. My wife and I rarely write reviews but we had to make an exception this time. Nothing but great things to say; we canât wait to book it again⊠and soon!
Beautiful, newly renovated home with a spectacular view of Bellagio. Well appointed. Very comfortable. Beautiful hand crafted wood furniture. Not just one but TWO Nespresso coffee machines in the house!!! Beautiful landscaped garden with outdoor seating and 2 balconies. Stefy is such a wonderful host-very responsive and kind. Even arranged a taxi for us. The only negative, if there can be one, is the very narrow road to get to the house. Coming from the US with luxuriously wide roads, it was a bit intimidating. The bus stop is very close though and we got around fine without wrecking the car. Highly recommend the breakfast delivered to your door by Deli Anna. Her croissants are among the best weâve ever had.
Stefy helped us from the beginning.. Picked us up at the ferry, took us to the grocery store and told us what wonderful cheeses and breads to buy, then on to her charming rental home. When she threw back the shutters we had the most breathtaking view ever! This rental kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals, the house clearly shows lots of tender care to make our stay delightfully with all the woodworking Alex has built, and we would recommend it. Beware, however, we were never able o get a taxi at either the ferry area or to go back down to the city. No buses either. Transportation was a huge problem. We are in our seventies and could not walk, but if you are young, and like to walk, this is a good place to stay!
Best stay of my life! Unbelievable view, truly hospitable hosts!
What a great getaway from the bustling cities. This house is very roomy, very cozy, and has everything you could ever need when your away from home! Not use to having a concierge when booking VRBO rentals, but the hosts are very communicative, respond immediately, recommended wonderful local shops and restaurants, gave us accurate tips about the area and even booked reservations for us. They will even go out of their way if you are in need of assistance. The view... truly one of the best views around the entire lake, the pictures displayed do not give it justice, it looks even better in person, a drop jaw feeling every day. The hosts have poured their heart into this house including hand made wooden and stone attributes all around and within the house, you can feel how much they love and adore this place. It was truly an honor to have had their cozy home as ours for a short time. Would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a perfect view, and look forward to coming back in the future!
The house is lovely. It has a great view of Bellagio and the Lake. The pictures and descriptions are accurate. The only issue we had is the somewhat treacherous road it takes to get there. Itâs a little challenging to navigate the first time. I recommend meeting the owners at the hotel at the top of the road and having them lead you in for the first time.
12 wonderful days overlooking beautiful Bellagio and Lake Como
Magnificent property, we just did not want to leave. The house was great for us and suited our needs for some privacy. The spacious cascading garden was delightful, great for relaxation in many different positions. It was wonderful to sit on the balcony having a glass of wine under the stars and taking in the breathtaking views and nightlights. Truly unforgettable... We had our dogs with us and they thoroughly enjoyed the freedom and exploration possibilities around the garden. We know everyone who visits Les Etoile Bellagio will have a wonderful experience just like we did. Many thanks Stefy and Stefano.. :-)
Beautiful location in a wonderful area. Great view over Bellagio and the lake of Como. Comfortable Chalet with all you need. Perfect for stressless holidays.
perfect location. amazing views, very quiet and beautiful garden and well equipped house. Plus the owner is a joy to communicate with. Always happy to provide information and to check that everything is ok...nothing is too much trouble.
We arrived late at night to Les Etoiles, after a long journey by plane, boat and train, and were met with the warmest welcome by our hosts, Stefy and Alex. Too tired to do much but find our bedrooms and crash for the night, we woke up to the most spectacular view of Lake Como and the Alps beyond from the balcony of the house. It was like looking at a postcardâabsolutely picture perfect. The same magnificent view was ours from the garden and terrace, with Bellagio and the villages across either side of the Lake laid out like jewels below. Although we had a car, we chose to walk into town and backâa pleasant 30 minute walk down through trails and cobble-stones streets, and a steep, climb back up that was rewarded by lovely views of mountains, flowers and Lake. A car is nice to have but a small car is recommended to negotiate narrow streets and access to Les Etoiles, which is tricky at night.
We enjoyed being on top of the world and planning which part of the Lake to explore from our vantage point. And it was always a pleasure to return to Les Etoiles after a long day, watching the evening sky change from violet to deep blue, a glass of wine in hand and feeling like we were tasting a bit of heaven.
Stefy was always available by phone/text to answer questions and make sure we had everything we needed. She and Alex were excellent hosts and helped make our stay at Les Etoiles and Bellagio a truly wonderful experience. Marea from Chevy Chase, MD.
Upon arrival, Stefy (the owner) made us feel so welcome, even supplying us with a lovely hamper full of local goodies. The house has everything you need to make it a home from home. A brand new toilet/shower room had just been fitted and all worked perfectly. The location is wonderful with stunning views over Lake Como and beyond. We loved the house so much we have already re-booked for next year. A massive thank you to Stefy and Alex for helping make our first anniversary trip so special and memorable.

Wonderful private home with awesome deck and views!!
The views and privacy are to die for!! Itâs like having an apartment with no one one either side, plus the yard and garden make everything so comfortable and private. You do need a car up the hill but access to Bellagio and markets is easy... once you find them!
A property that has been created with love and care and although a little rustic in places this just adds to it's charm. The view is amazing and you never tire of watching the lake. The journey to the property is worth it along the single track because the view is so amazing. Stefy the host couldn't be more welcoming and helpful with excellent local knowledge which means you can escape the crowds if necessary. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to be part of the Italian life but far enough away to enjoy the lake from all the tourists. A great place to stay although a car is definitely required to make the most of the area.
Les Etoiles is a lovely place to stay in Bellagio, with fine views over Lake Como.
We received a very warm welcome from Stefy who showed us around and gave us ideas for restaurants and things to do.
The property is delightful with everything you need. When we were there it was very hot during the day but in the evening it was balmy. You could sit and watch the lights come on and explore the stars in the night sky. We loved it .
The only negative is the narrow rough road to the property. If you are renting a car don't get a large vehicle, we had a Renegade Jeep, as it will be easier with a normal family car.
There are a couple of supermarkets in Bellagio so finding supplies was no problem. There are lots of restaurants in Bellagio so there is no problem finding somewhere to eat.
From Bellagio you can catch the ferry to all the towns on the lake with lots to see.
I would recommend this property to anyone but it is essential you have a car.
Thanks again Stefy for your warm welcome and assistance.

Das Haus war genau wie wir es im Internet gesehen haben, jedoch viel kleiner als vermutet. Wir waren 4 Erwachsene und das separate Zimmer fĂŒr unsere beiden erwachsenen Söhne war dann doch eher eine Zumutung. Die Betten eng und das Zimmer sehr klein. Hinzu kam, dass das eine Bett bei jeder Drehung zu hören war. Das Badezimmer war auch sehr klein und in der engen Dusche konnte man sich kaum drehen. Der Wasserdruck scheint auch ein Problem zu sein, denn es kam sehr wenig Wasser was fĂŒrs Haare waschen nicht so ideal war.
Die Zufahrt zum Haus ist sehr eng, etwas abenteuerlich und nichts fĂŒr ungeĂŒbte Autofahrer. Uns hat dies jedoch nicht gestört. FĂŒr den morgendlichen Weckruf um 6 Uhr frĂŒh durch den Hahn aus Nachbars Garten können die Vermieter nicht verantwortlich gemacht werden, aber mit Ausschlafen wird es schwierig.
Ansonsten war es aber sehr gemĂŒtlich und dank des guten Wetters lebten wir vor allem draussen, wo wir den schönen Garten geniessen konnten. Die Aussicht ist spektakulĂ€r und den frĂŒhen Morgen und spĂ€ten Abend auf dem "Sternenbalkon" ein Traum.
