In the early morning, the guardians take care of the garden and pool area without disturbing the guests. For requests or questions, feel free to ask; it will be a pleasure to respond.

The pool area can be closed with a gate to prevent small children from accessing it without parents.

Simply breathtaking
We had a simply wonderful time at the Cloudhouse. The house itself is beautiful with spectacular views over Lake Como. The accommodation was very comfortable and spacious for the 14 of us, and the house managers were brilliant, always attentive and helpful. I can't recommend this house highly enough, and the whole process with Barbara the owner to book and prepare was excellent. The house managers Luiggi, Daniel and Maria attended to our every need and were very responsive to anything that needed attention. We had a fabulous holiday in a beautiful house, at a stunning location with first class care. We ranged in age from 3 months to 60 years and the house was great for each and every one of us. Thank you, it was a super holiday to treasure for all of us young and old!

an amazing destination, beautiful home with an awe inspiring view. The pool area is special.
This property sits in the small Italian town of Civenna that is a few kilometers from the bustling destination that is Bellagio. Civenna has a small grocery that has everything you need and across is the street is a small family bakery. The home lends itself to family get togethers, with a tremendous dining table and beautiful bathrooms on both levels.

About the host

Hosted by Tommaso Ratti

Host profile image
Hello! I’m Barbara, an Australian author and former journalist born in the 1950s. I currently manage a stunning villa in Lombardia, Italy, designed by the renowned architect Ponti, which offers breathtaking views and a unique ambiance.

Background
I studied at Melbourne University, where I developed my passion for writing and journalism. My favorite author is Gabriel Garcia Marquez, whose works continue to inspire my own writing. Fun fact: I once practiced playing the piano for eight hours a day, although my less useful talent might be solving Sudoku puzzles!

Interests and Hobbies
In my free time, I enjoy listening to podcasts, which allow me to explore various topics and stay informed. I'm particularly obsessed with farinata, a delicious chickpea pancake that I love sharing with my guests. I also provide personalized dining advice to help you discover local flavors and culinary delights.

Languages and Lifestyle
I am fluent in English and Italian, making it easier for me to connect with guests from diverse backgrounds. As I travel frequently for work, I currently don’t have pets.

Future Plans
Looking ahead to my retirement, I dream of spending a month practicing yoga in India, followed by a month in Perugia to improve my Italian, and another month in a language immersion school in France to enhance my French skills.

I am excited to share my beautiful villa with you and help make your stay unforgettable!
