“Extraordinary value for a truly memorable experience.” Casa Alla Piana was outstanding. It is on the eastern edge of the small medieval village of Suria above Bellagio. It is on the middle and upper floor in the eastern end of a three story old stone building with high ceilings and vaulted bedrooms. Stained wood and centuries old natural stone abound. The donkey trails leading down from the village were a highlight for me. Window surrounds and the entrance balcony are single large solid slabs of crystalline stone - amazing. Inside is a surprise - the fit out is very modern with natural wood window frames and stairs - stained not painted. Coupled with the fabulous views, high ceilings and space this all adds up to a very ethereal experience. Best views are from the bedrooms (upstairs) which face north. The upstairs bathroom has a view to the east. Southerly views are from the upstairs landing and entrance door. The kitchen living room, the only room downstairs, has a door sized window looking across the neighbors garden to the north. Casa Alla Piana is well set up - everything worked well and we found all we needed in the apartment. There is no on-site WiFi at Casa Alla Piana but we were able to use a phone as a mobile WiFi hotspot. Across the lane way to the south is a private garden for exclusive use of guests at Casa Alla Piana. We stayed at the start of autumn. In the garden there were still sufficient vegetables (beans, zucchini, aubergine, tomato, broccoli) and herbs (parsley, sage, fennel) to go with our salmon, mussels, gorgonzola (one Euro per 100gm) or other treats. We shopped at the supermarket at the bottom of the nearest donkey trail. Note the opening hours on your first visit - we had 8:30am to 7:30pm, with afternoon siesta (12:30 to 15:30), Sunday afternoon and Monday closed. We did not meet Antonella or Pino but sister Lory and parents helped us settle in and showed us the start of the two main donkey trails leading down from hilltop Suria. The hidden garage is in a very modern, scrupulously clean complex, of ten or more garages ingeniously totally concealed under this ancient stone village. Once parked we didn’t use the car and walked or used the ferries. It is worth paying for a multi-day pass through the Metzi gardens as coupled with the middle donkey trail, it is not only a pleasant walk but probably the easiest way to get to and from central Bellagio. If you stay at Casa Alla Piana and plan to walk down the donkey trails you need a minimum level of fitness and map use. Casa Alla Piana was very quiet. There is a bit of an influx over the weekend period to gardens surrounding Casa Alla Piana (just like the garden attached to Casa Alla Piana) as they are used for large family meal gatherings – I guess by Milano apartment dwellers who seem to revel getting outdoors among the verdant greenery, clear blue sky and stone wall and lake backdrops. As best views are from the bedrooms upstairs (waist height windows), and not from the kitchen-dining-sitting room downstairs, you may want to construe a possie upstairs from what is available, for your reading, computing or idle hours whilst gazing at the view. Also upstairs gave a far superior phone reception for internet use. The best possible internet reception was to Blu-tak the phone (would not want it to slide off) onto the upstairs outside solid stone north facing window ledge which is slightly sloping. At the price paid, 250 Euro for four nights, including garage, Casa Alla Piana clearly deserves its five out of five rating. I am comfortable in going further to say that Casa Alla Piana ranks as luxury accommodation for the fit and map savvy guest who can connect their own internet. It is easy to write a lot about Casa Alla Piana – it was a wonderful experience.

“Special experience” I have been invited by Carlo several times by now. The first time I went there I expected a beautiful home, since he had showed me some pictures. Nevertheless I was not prepared to the feeling of warmth, to the elegance and to the decor of the apartment (the building and the small garden are very nice too!). Bellagio is a most fascinating village with a unique view of lake, mountains and country hills. Cà Maria is a perfect setting to enjoy this miniature heaven from its balcony that overlooks a very quiet corner of the lake. We explored the area around, practiced sport, did shopping and went to good restaurants. In the evening or at mid day it was inviting to go back home and feel the breeze from the lake; to rest with a glass of wine on the balcony or to fall asleep on the magnificient king size bed made each end of the day perfect. Carlo is a charmig host and has the gift to make you fell welcome. Every stay had been special, I believe that the only downside of the place is to leave it.
