Lake District

Luxury lakeside villa in Lake Como

This is an elegant villa situated on the shores of Lake Como, in the heart of the Italian lake district. Thanks to its position the villa is the perfect base for those wishing to explore the area as the main towns and cities around the lake, such as Como, Milan, Lecco and Bergamo, all within 90 minutes drive from here, as is the beautiful Swiss lakeside town of Lugano.

This liberty style villa stands majestic on the lakeshore, surrounded by a beautiful park filled with centuries-old trees and a gorgeous pool.

The villa has been recently restored and offers a very high standard of comfort. Air conditioning, private garden and swimming pool are all readily available during your stay.

Here you can find some of the finest design details, from the majestic marble fireplace of the main floor, the frescoed ceilings, the beautiful first floor study with its elegant terrace overlooking the lake and the Grigna mountain group.

Surroundings

Quiet nature for your own enjoyment

Trees, mountain trails, high peaks and a Mediterranean vegetation by the lake banks. What more do you wish for?

The panorama around the villa is a blended scene of South European flora with abundant oleanders, magnolias, some variants of palm and rhododendron bushes. Amidst the richness of bright greens and colourful blooms come the darker background of the Alps guarding the lake from close. This pretty unique picture, a true sight for sore eyes, is perhaps the biggest attraction of this Italian location.

Take a walk in the garden of the villa, and admire from here the architectural monuments sitting lakeside. Look around you and feel lucky, for this is in short, what makes Italy such an enviable destination.

Recreational activities

Get to know the Lake

Lake Como is a balanced mix for a holiday including relaxation, high life and outdoor activities. Those who have been guests at Lake Como go back home feeling relaxed, recharged and renewed. The calm waters have a healing virtue over visitors, whether they are experienced from the comfort of a speeding boat touring the Y-shaped basin, or simply looked at from the banks, while sitting on one of the terraces. 

This, and the other lakes forming the so-called Lake District have been known in history as retreat destinations for poets, writers and artists alike looking for peace and a little spark to use as an insight for their art. Expect this, and more. Over the centuries, the Lake has expanded its array of show numbers offered to out-of-towners including more adventurous acts on its mountains, and other similarly wild experiences in nature.

If you want to hang up your adrenaline hat, the little towns by the embankments have plenty to show you and keep you entertained. Take a step into this enchanted stretch of land bordering the deep waters of Lake Como.

Keep busy with:

  • Relaxing on a beach
  • Taking a boat tour
  • Visiting Villa Balbianello
  • Having lunch in Varenna
  • Sipping aperitif wines on a Venetian limousine
