Several years ago, when three brothers purchased Villa la Quinta it was merely a shell. After considerable effort, money and inspiration, Villa la Quinta is restored to a level surpassing its former glory. Today, this wonderful property houses six apartments, three of which are home to the intrepid brothers and their children. The remaining three apartments are for our non-smoking guests to enjoy. Villa la Quinta is a couple of miles away from Bellagio.

A spacious lawn with lovely gardens that are meticulously kept ends along the lake's shore at a small, furnished rocky cove with direct lake access. Each apartment is assigned its own furnished outdoor dining area with a breathtaking lake view. Even the family's friendly dog meanders about enjoying the scenery.

Each apartment offers terracotta flooring, air conditioning and a washing machine. While Torrelago and Moka are cozy in size and without living rooms, they both offer well equipped kitchens.

All apartments include in the price: heat, air conditioning, a mid-week towel change and Wi-Fi. The owners of Villa la Quinta have a wine shop in the center of Bellagio. When visiting their establishment, Parker guests are given a complimentary tasting of four wines.

From the grounds behind Villa la Quinta, a footpath leads to two tiny lakefront villages. Take a 10 minute walk to San Giovanni for a stop at the village grocer or a small restaurant serving the fishermen's local catch. Continue along the path and within half a mile is the fishing village of Loppia with the entrance to the world renowned, English-style gardens of Villa Melzi.

This property is found along the main road connecting Como to Bellagio. Since the road has no shoulder, a car is needed to drive five minutes into Bellagio. The local bus serving Como and Bellagio stops within 50 yards of the villa's main gate with service ending around 7:30 pm.

From Bellagio, car and passenger ferries traverse the lake daily until the early evening hours. Visits to Menaggio, Cadenabbia and Tremezzo within 25 minutes as well as scenic tours of the entire lake may be enjoyed this way. With a combination of ferry and scenic drives, Lake Lugano, Switzerland is just over an hour, and St. Moritz is within 2 hours. Milan airport is only a 90 minute drive away.
