Bellagio VillaHost™

Maria Elisa and Emanuela

We - Emanuela and Maria Elisa - come as a package! We both live in Bellagio, on the picturesque Lake Como and know every hidden corner of it. We are your Italian Connection!

We know that the best way to experience the fabulously stylish Italian way of life is to stay in an exclusive villa or apartment on Lake Como through A Season Away, being lulled by the waves of the lake. We want to share this magic experience with you, especially in the beautiful town of Bellagio, helping you enjoy unique and unforgettable experiences.

Our role as VillaHosts for A Season Away is to organize your extended holiday and get it exactly right. This means that rather than "push" our Lake Como on guests, we need to listen and help you create your own Lake Como experience.

Our passion is to allow you to bring home memories you will cherish forever and we will stop at almost nothing to make this happen. We are delighted to handle all the details so you can enjoy a stress-free few weeks in the Italian Lakes.

The most exciting part of being a VillaHost is getting to know you and work with you over the course of several weeks and watch both the relationship and friendship bloom. Of course knowing that we are here to help in small and big ways should be comforting to you, since we want you this think of us as your gentle guiding hands in Italy.

Since we live here, we have great connections both on land and on the water. We can arrange private villa visits at some of the grand old lakeside villas, offer hiking tips, and all manner of boating activities, from private water taxis, to renting your own boats. If touring and shopping is a part of your package, we can lend a hand there too in Milan, Como at the factory outlets and silk factories.

We both work from the offices of the Virtuoso On-Site IC Bellagio, in Bellagio on Lake Como.
