Lakefront Villa, in its own 5 acre parc at the lake, private sandy beach

La Gioiosa is a dream estate, situated directly on the waterfront of Lago di Mezzola, the northern part of Lake Como. It is surrounded by a 5 acre fenced private parc, with old trees, palms and lovely flowers in a natural reserve. It has its own private sandy beach, a harbour and is ideal for families who like to engage in all kinds of water sports as well as relaxation in complete privacy. The famous Engadin, home of St. Moritz and the like is close by, so the villa can be used for skiing and wintersports of all kind during the cold season. Children can`t get lost in the park, as it can be completely closed.
The house was completely renovated in 2009

Art, culture and nature : There are quite a few museums in the area, dealing with silk, for which Como is famous, motorcycles (the Moto Guzzi plant is nearby) and of course art and history.
Around the lakes you find many botanical gardens, very often with lovely villas. Most of them can be visited and already in early spring (Feb/March) you can see the Camellia blossoms, a little bit later (March till May) you can admire huge Rhododendrons and azaleas. The temperature highs are already mild around this time of the year, you can find daytime highs of about 20 °C in March. And most important: the sun is frequently shining and gives a pleasant atmosphere.

Shopping: You will find the typical italian markets everywhere in the area as well as the typical small italian boutiques and stores, filled with unique fashion finds and fine foods, lovely to browse and to shop. In addition, you have some of the finest designer outlets in italian fashion and design close by: Armani, Alessi, Cerutti, Banfi, Brunate etc. Como is the center of italian silk industry, so you can easily find hot deals in ties, scarves, silk fabrics and accessories.
In about 10 km distance, there is a mall with an enormous supermarket, where you can find virtually everything you might possibly need.

Tolle Lage
Ein wunderschönes Haus. Es fehlte an nichts. Aber leider ist der Park nicht sehr gepflegt, auch am Strand war sicherlich schon lange nicht mehr aufgeräumt worden. Leider war der Schwimmteich nur sehr vorsichtig und nur mit Schuhen zu betreten, da die Stufen total glitschig und und verschleimt waren. Obwohl mein Mann versucht hat, diese mit einem starken Besen zu säubern. Fernsehen war sehr schwierig, es sei denn, man kennt sich mit Computer etc. gut aus. Es war zwar alles beschrieben, aber funktionierte nicht recht. Die Lage des Hauses ist ein absoluter Traum, toller Blick. Und da das Wetter sehr schön war, fehlte uns der fernseher nicht sehr.

Esperienza parzialmente deludente
Ho soggiornato solo sei ore su sette giorni prenotati perché ho avuto un problema grave di salute e non mi è stato rimborsato un centesimo su un importo enorme versato. La comunicazione con il proprietario scarsa, le luci dell atrio e del boschetto bruciate quindi risultava inagibile di sera e non in sicurezza. La tv solo in tedesco. Il cinema non ho potuto usufruirlo perché alle mie richieste mi hanno risposto dopo giorni. Pulizia della casa non perfetta. Posizione e panorama stupenda. Spiaggette deliziose ma poca privacy con gente che continuamente passava davanti in gommone, e gente che pescava con cani al seguito a bordo rete della proprietà. Caos dal camping vicino. Sono delusa,nessun rimborso nemmeno parziale e questo è inammissibile in un periodo Covid dove viaggiare diventa un problema e proprietari così menefreghisti mai avuto esperienza prima. Quindi se volete un paesaggio stupendo lo consiglio ma per altro no.

Natur pur in gepflegter Anlage
Ein fantastischer Ort zur Erholung und Entspannung. Man spürt bei vielen Gelegenheiten, dass es den Besitzern ein wirkliches Anliegen ist, ihren Gästen den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. Das gelingt auch bestens: Danke! Einziger Wermutstropfen: Freitag und Samstag können diverse Parties in der näheren und weiteren Umgebung die Nachtruhe beeinträchtigen. Trotzdem: Ein wunderbarer Ort, sehr empfehlenswert!
