Unfortunately, we are leaving Breakwater. We started talking about coming to Lake Como by bringing two families together in 2015. We were 7 then, now we are 11, and this week we were a total of 16 people, including our extended family and loved ones. The staff here have been like another family and have shared part of their journey with us. It was a week of love, laughter, and wonderful memories.

We can't wait to go back to Breakwater.

While our group of dear friends have known each other for almost 30 years, we have never had such a wonderful vacation together, as we had this year at Breakwater Bellagio. From the moment we arrived, we were certainly impressed by the gorgeous property and all its amenities. But much more importantly, the Breakwater staff is what made our time here so special. The food, especially the specially prepared Kievski Tort, by the chef was as good as any Michelin starred restaurant. The wait staff, was attentive and perfect. The house managers were above and beyond every single day. It is without reservation and with our highest endorsement that we can recommend Breakwater Bellagio. We hope to see you alla again next year. Thanks!

We rented Villa Breakwater Bellagio the week of August 12-19.

We were the first renters as the restoration of the Villa just got finished before our arrival........ We spent the week with 13 people and had a most spectacular experience......... the Villa with its 7 bedrooms en suite is beyond comfortable and the views from anywhere inside or outside on the multiple terraces are breathtaking......... We had breakfast and dinner every day at the Villa and the Chef and waiter were outstanding, beyond nice and their food was to die for.........
Incredible experience, very professional and kind management team, incredible staff, in short an absolutely unforgettable experience!

We highly recommend the Villa and its staff, and we are definitely coming back.
