We have just returned from a week in this dreamy Villa Gaeta on the shores of the romantic Lake Como with our family and their partners. As Villa Gaeta is set 3km north of Menaggio, and with such a wonderful area to explore, we also decided to hire a car. This proved to be a good move, with initial concerns about parking space outside the villa being quickly allayed by Barrie. A touch of luxury was being picked up from the villa jetty by a boat from Menaggio Water Taxis for a private tour of some lake highlights, punctuated by lunch at La Punta restaurant on the lake shore in Bellagio. Barrie also arranged a private chef for us for one evening. A chance to get dressed up a little, certainly a memorable evening. Barrie is a fantastic host, whose recommendations and advice from his local knowledge and experience took much of the guess work out of booking the best restaurants and places to visit. This is definitely a 5 star review for a 5 star location and a 5 star superhost.
“Last week my wife & I and our 2 granddaughters, ages 21 & 18, stayed at the beautiful Villa Gaeta on Lake Como. It was our second stay at this Villa. It’s a great location for visiting the wonderful towns of Bellagio, Varenna, Menaggio, Lecco and the other scenic towns on the lake, especially if you use the convenient services of the water taxis as the Villa has its own pier for pick up & drop off. The views from the Villa are stunning both day & night and the Villa has been updated and re-modelled and it meets or exceeds the description on the website..plus it has a washer & a dryer! Also, I can’t say enough positive things about Barrie & Julie the managers. They are the best hosts we’ve met on the Lake and they went out of their way to attend to our every need making sure we were enjoying our stay. Whether it was securing reservations, obtaining taxis or private drivers, making dining & or wine recommendations, or scheduling a private chef, etc). If you’re looking to get away for a truly unique, high end Italian experience we highly recommend staying at Villa Gaeta.” Mike & Debbie, Florida, June 21, 2024.
“If you’re reading this review, you are probably contemplating staying at this magnificent villa. Let me just sum it up quickly – don’t think and go ahead and book it!! You need no further review and you will have no regrets. Just do it! Our family stayed at Villa Gaeta the first week of April in 2024, and we loved every minute of it. This is a magnificent historic place which is exquisitely and modernly remodeled, and elegantly furnished on the inside. Every bit of detail is attended to. You are renting the best apartment in this complex, with the best views, patios, and interior. The location of the villa and the views are fantastic. No wonder it was chosen for the final scene in Casino Royale, and still is a well recognized landmark villa all over the lake. However, what goes beyond any other rental property is the service. From the moment that we contacted Barrie and even after we had left, he was extremely helpful. Barrie is one of those individuals that you immediately like and trust, and he goes way beyond to make sure all is taken care of and you and your loved ones feel most welcome! From giving us driving directions, to meeting us at the villa late at night in the rain, advice for local and also non-local cuisines, casual to fine dining, sightseeing, etc. etc. Barrie just goes well beyond his duty. Even when we had a minor issue with the AC control system, Barrie was there almost immediately and fixed the problem. We have stayed in contact even after our departure while visiting other areas of Italy as he has provided very helpful recommendations. Over the years we have stayed at a few other places on Lake Como , but this was by far the best. We will definitely stay at Villa Gaeta again when we come back. I would give this 10 stars out of 5, with the extra five stars for the service! I just wish we could have stayed longer!” Michael, San Diego-April 9 2024.
Gorgeous vacation home on the lake! The perfect holiday with and all the facilities you could ask for, the host was also amazing, ensuring a fantastic stay. I highly recommend it!
“My husband and I stayed at the Villa for a week during our honeymoon. What an extraordinary wonderful week we had. The location is stunning with views to die for; the house perfectly located in beautiful seclusion yet well connected to the historic local town. The hosts couldn’t have been more accommodating and helpful. With great recommendations for restaurants and top tips for days out. We went mid September, the weather was perfect and we were able to explore, relax, and enjoy the lake experience. The interiors of the villa are perfect for the Bond experience, sexy and worldly yet comfortable and relaxing. I couldn’t recommend a stay highly enough”
“We have now stayed at the amazing Villa Gaëta with its private beach on Lake Como 3 times and have been most warmly welcomed by Barrie and Julie on each occasion. On each visit they have gone above and beyond to ensure that our holiday has been wonderful – offering to organise shopping for our arrival, checking in with us regularly during our stay, making restaurant suggestions and reservations for us and sending us lots of information about different places to visit, as well as advising us on the best time of day to visit each place during the busy tourist season. The Villa Gaëta is now a firm family favourite of ours and we hope to return as soon as possible. From the moment of booking to the time of departure, Barrie and Julie helped to make our holiday a truly memorable one. Many thanks to you both.”
