Summary

Description
Italiano: L'Albergo Bellavista venne inaugurato nell anno 1896, subito dopo

la costruzione della funicolare Como Brunate, da Tomaso Ghirardi, illustre cuoco comasco che, dopo aver lavorato alla corte della regina d'inghilterra, decise di mettersi in proprio approfittando del richiamo turistico sviluppatosi in tutta l'area dei laghi. Dagli anni 20 del primo Novecento si sono succedute diverse gestioni, conoscendo un'offerta ricettiva in lento declino, dopo gli anni 50, a fronte di una diversa domanda turistica, non più tributaria dell'alta borghesia industriale lombarda, cui peraltro si deve la costruzione delle grandi ville liberty di Brunate. L'attuale proprietaria è la famiglia Cavallanti che ha proceduto ad una totale ristrutturazione dell'edificio cercando di ripristinare e salvaguardare il più possibile l'originaria impostazione liberty.

Il fascino di Brunate ha fatto da sfondo alla vita di nobili poeti ed inventori: Alda Merini, Alessandro Volta, e non ultimo, Pencio Slavencov; illustre poeta bulgaro, il quale trascorse, al Bellavista, gli ultimi mesi lontano da casa, ma immerso nellla pace e nella natura che questo luogo è riuscito

a preservare nel tempo.
English: The Bellavista Hotel was inauguarated in 1896, just after

the opening of the Como-Brunate funicular. Tommaso Ghirardi, a renowned chef from Como, formerly employed at the Court of St James's, decided to start his own business, benefiting from the increasing tourism developing throughout the Italian lake district.

After the 1920s, the Bellavista underwent various management changes,

due to declining tourism. The composition of visitors to Brunate changed in the 1950s, leaving it no longer the sole preserve of the Milanese industrial haute bourgeoisie, who had created the village's trademark spacious Art Nouveau villas. The Bellavista's proprietors are the Cavallanti family, who have completed a scrupulous renovation of the entire building, restoring and preserving its original Art Nouveau design.

Brunate's allure has served as the background to the life of eminent poets and inventors: Alda Merini, Alessandro Volta and, last but not least, Pen?o Slavejkov; the renowned Bulgarian poet spent the last months of his life at the Hotel Bellavista, far from home, but surrounded by

the nature and peacefulness that has been preserved here through time
