Petite and pretty, you'll find this home right on the edge of Lake Como, near the centre of Tremezzo. It's ideal for couples or very small families who are looking for some peace and quiet to enjoy this idyllic corner of Italy. 

The kitchen is ready for you to whip up some delicious meals, or simply arrange some antipasti, depending on what you feel like. Mix an Aperol Spritz and head out to the patio to enjoy your apperitif in the fresh air with a view of the lake – your host will even provide comfortable deckchairs and tables. If you need to catch up on emails then there's a dedicated workspace, and at the end of the day you'll love curling up in the perfect pink bedroom. 

You can walk to the centre of Tremezzo and the famous Villa Carlotta in only eight minutes from here, and you're also close to Scalo di Villa Carlotta ferry landing, which can take you around the lake to several points of interest. Plus, the city centre of Como is around a forty-minute drive away – visit the cathedral and wander along the promenade before you hop on the funicular railway for an excellent view.

Views of Lake Como don't come much better than this – and neither do penthouse locations. You're within walking distance of Fiumelatte for evening meals and the train station (just 300 metres away) for trips to nearby historic Varenna. Rather travel by boat? Hop on the ferry (a three-kilometre drive away) to glitzy Bellagio and beyond. Back home, the main bedroom suite, with its dressing area and Jacuzzi for two, more than delivers. However, it's worth noting that the headspace in the mezzanine second bedroom is low and better suited for children. But for those jaw-dropping views from the private terrace, we can forgive that.

Sunset On The Lake

Toaster

This apartment will be an irresistible option for those in search of impressive views of Lake Como. The central location is equally appealing – making it easy to walk to the nearest beach (Molo di sotto), set sail on boat trips and savour delicious Italian meals in local restaurants. Back at home, you can unwind on the little balcony or in the living room. At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed, but this is a great option for families in search of simplicity and comfort. Children’s amenities can be provided and your host can help organise extras like breakfast and housekeeping.

Set within the grounds of the owner’s home, this charming villa brings you the best of Italy. Comfortable for a family or group of friends, you’ll find everything needed for a relaxing stay here, but the icing on the cake for us is the outdoor space. Sun-kissed terraces, alfresco dining opportunities and views across Lake Como – what’s not to love? If you can tear yourself away, live like a local in ​​Tremezzo where pizzerias and authentic Italian food awaits. And of course, a trip out on Lake Como itself is a must – it’s the perfect place to soak up the scenery. 

A Breath of Nature

Hot Tub

Set on the western shore of Lake Como, this modern apartment boasts views across Menaggio marina. Inside, the home doesn’t try to compete with the beauty outdoors, with simple interiors offering a comfortable stay for extended families or groups of friends. But the cherry on the cake? It has to be the outdoor space. An expansive terrace offers alfresco dining opportunities and views across Lake Como, while the Jacuzzi is just the spot for relaxing after a busy day. And with bikes and kayaks available here, exploring the local area comes easily.

Enjoy timeless charm at this historic lakeside retreat. This beautiful home sits on the shores of Lake Como and boasts wonderful views, to be enjoyed from inside and out, thanks to large windows in almost every room. The house is surrounded by a private park planted with an olive grove, bamboo forest, azaleas, and acacias. There’s a barbecue and a shaded dining area outside, and a stunning kitchen at the heart of the home – and your host can arrange a private chef. The year-round-heated pool, gym, and tennis court mean there’s no chance of boredom here. 

Acacias on the Lake

Rain Shower

Paid Parking On Premises

We defy anyone to look through this home's photos and not feel instantly at ease. It's something to do with the ample amounts of space, cleansing white walls and large arched windows that look out over rooftops and also flood the interior with sunshine.

The design is definitely sparse, although we think there are enough personal touches to ward off accusations of anonymity. The floral-style lampshade in the bedroom is eye-catching and we also like the vintage travel adverts hanging in frames on the wall.

However, don't be surprised if you don't actually spend all too much time in the apartment. The home's position in the Mezzegra region is simply gorgeous, helped by the fact that the banks of Lake Como can be reached in five minutes' walk. Villa del Balbianello takes forty-five minutes to reach on foot, while you catch a ferry to the town of Bellagio in just over an hour.

Paid Parking

Nestled in the heart of Varenna, this apartment oozes elegance with marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and views over San Giorgio Square. You’ll need to climb stairs to this first-floor home, and there’s no air conditioning here, but step out onto the private terrace and you’ll feel the warm Italian breeze. Location-wise, you’ll see why this apartment caught our eye. Within walking distance of Lake Como, the sandy shores of Molo di Sotto beach, and a plethora of shops and Italian eateries, there’s plenty to occupy your time here. 

In the Heart of Varenna

Sauna

This villa overlooks the town of Bellagio and enjoys stunning mountain views. The kitchen and certain bathrooms might be a little dated, but the range of amenities makes this home great for families or couples. The wine cellar is well-stocked and the home gym is well-equipped, while the sauna and private pool offer fun and relaxation for all ages. We love this location not only for its beauty but for its practicality – you'll want a car for ease of getting around, but it's only a two-minute drive to the nearest restaurants and shops.

Chasing Dreams

Escape to the shores of Lake Como with a stay in this peaceful retreat. You’ll be welcomed by stunning views, a serene garden and an infinity pool for refreshing dips. There’s also a terrace with a barbecue for alfresco dining and you’ll find plenty of space inside to stretch out and unwind. Your host can also help organise special extras like massage treatments, private chefs and yoga sessions. You will need a car to get around here, but it’s just a short drive to Menaggio and Tremezzo. 



Reflections of Peace

DVD Library

Throws

Boasting a front-row seat to the wild, untouched beauty of Comacina Island, this home offers breathtaking views with serenity to boot. You'll find it in the picturesque town of Ossuccio, peacefully perched on the shores of Lake Como and surrounded by a pretty cluster of pastel-hued homes. Here, you're in a prime location for exploring the region, with Downtown Como a thirty-minute drive away. Closer to home, take a twenty-minute stroll to Villa del Balbianello and admire its stunning terraced gardens.

Though compact, this home promises comfort through thoughtful design and contemporary decor. Inside, a timeless canvas of white walls, hardwood floors and heaps of natural light create a peaceful and inviting ambience, beckoning you to relax in the splendour of your surroundings. We love the open-plan living space, with its cosy dining nook and sleek, fully-fitted kitchen. Though the real treat is the private terrace, offering uninterrupted lakeside views. Spend your days here, basking in the sun, and come sunset, settle around the alfresco dining table for a candle-lit dinner under the stars.

Love At First Sight

Located on the edge of Lake Como, this historic home welcomes you to an atmospheric waterfront escape. Combining tradition and contemporary comfort, the rooms are well suited to groups in search of ease and relaxation. Highlights include the sweet little balcony and the views, plus your host can arrange welcome packs and housekeeping. It’s worth noting the stairs do not have a handrail so this may not be the best option for families with young children, but you will find this is a great base for a lakeside adventure. From here, it’s a short stroll to cafes, bars and restaurants, while the ferry is just 400 metres away. 

Tales by the Lake

Just a short stroll from the edge of Lake Como, this home opens its doors to a traditional Italian escape. Set across three floors, the rooms are ideal for families and groups in search of character and simple charm. There are two living rooms and each of the bedrooms comes with an en-suite bathroom and beautiful views. Outside, the terrace makes it easy to enjoy social gatherings and you’ll find plenty to explore in the surroundings. Take a stroll through Lenno or adventure further afield towards Tremezzo and Argegno.  


Beauty of Venus

With its feet right on the banks of Lake Como, this modern and fuss-free apartment is as close to the water you can get. Your mornings will begin on the balcony, with a cappuccino and flaky pastry, or on the shingle of your private beach to watch boats cut through the gentle waves. 

After soaking up the sunshine from a lounger, nip back inside to cool off with a glass of something refreshing in the fuss-free living space. Pick the comfiest spot on the sofa or pull up a chair at the dining table – the minimalist furnishings have been carefully positioned to ensure you won’t miss a second of the stunning vistas. 

If you feel like exploring, charming Bellagio is a twenty-three-minute drive away. Weave through the tangle of cobbled streets, dipping in and out of artisanal boutiques before stopping for an Aperol in waterfront bars to catch the sunset.

Gentle Waves

After being occupied by the same family for five generations, this home lay uninhabited for several decades before it was treated to a complete renovation. Today, the thought that this remarkable home lay unappreciated for so long makes us slightly sad.

The views alone are worth a stay here. From the two terraces, you get a sensational panorama of Lake Como, the mountains surrounding the waters and some of the local area's spectacular buildings, like Villa Balbianello. With a pair of loungers and an alfresco dining table, you can pass hours upon hours with this backdrop for company.

Back inside the home, some period features, like the exposed brickwork, have been tastefully retained, while many of the more modern additions are vintage in style, such as the copper bathtub in one of the bedrooms, the tiled flooring and the mighty wooden dining table. The kitchen is as contemporary as they come, however.

The local village of Mezzegra on your doorstep has restaurants, a bakery and a handful of historic churches to wander between. The banks of the lake can also be reached in ten minutes on foot, while Monte Crocione sits behind the property if you're up for a challenge.

This stunning lakeside apartment is an idyllic spot on the shores of Lake Como. It’s elegant and modern, with a fully equipped kitchen and a living room with large windows looking out to the lake. An internal courtyard leads to a private sauna and a wine cellar, and there’s even a shared infinity pool – what could be better than drinking in those majestic views while enjoying a dip? You’ll also have access to a dock for boat tours. 

Golden Reflections

Situated right on the western shore of the beloved Lake Como, this apartment overlooks the lake from the balcony – ideal for a peaceful morning coffee out in the fresh air. Only a few meters from the beach, the location also puts you within easy driving distance of bars, restaurants and the golf course in Menggio, and Como City is great for a day trip. You can take one of three kayaks out onto the water, but with them being shared with the other apartment, you best be quick or opt for a bicycle to explore the surroundings instead.

With private boat mooring, peaceful grounds and beautiful views, this home opens its doors to the timeless magic of lakeside living. Dating back to the 19th-century, the main house and adjoining annexe can accommodate eighteen guests with an extra double room (for two guests) available for an additional fee. And from the moment of arrival, you’ll find plenty to keep you entertained. From the private pool and tennis court to the games room and antique furnishings, every detail has been considered to deliver an unforgettable stay. You can also enjoy a complimentary dinner service on your first night, daily breakfast is included and a private chef is available (for an additional fee) throughout your stay. And when it comes to adventures further afield, it’s just a short drive or boat trip to nearby Menaggio and Como. 

Haven of Beauty

Bathrobes

When we saw the Lake Como vistas from this gorgeous villa, we thought we were dreaming – they are sublime. Admire them from the hot tub and sun loungers in the beautiful lakeside garden or while cooking some local produce on the barbecue. Inside, it is no less impressive – the views can be enjoyed from here too from the floor-to-ceiling windows. With lots of features such as a spiral staircase, stone floors and interesting antiques – this home is perfect for entertaining your friends and family in style.

This villa has its own private berth, so you can charter a boat and explore Lake Como. Or, head to Sala Comacina, a five-minute stroll away, with its picturesque old town, quaint narrow streets and glorious views of Comacina, Lake Como's only island. Spiaggia di San Vito, a lakeside beach, is a twelve-minute saunter from here, if you want to dip your toes in the crystal-clear water.



Wild Euphorbias

Foosball / Table Football

Perched on a promontory that juts out into Lake Como, this villa provides guests with plenty of opportunity to look out over stunning lakeside vistas, backgrounded by the mighty Alps. Below, the quaint village of Bellagio invitingly reveals its cobbled streets and elegant lakeside villas, completing the panoramic views.

The villa doesn’t just offer views, though. Its heated swimming pool allows you to see snowy mountain caps in perfect comfort, and inside you’ll be able to build up a sweat in your own private gym and Turkish sauna. 
In the evenings, once you’ve caught the sunset over Lake Como, you might want to make your way down into your wine cellar and enjoy the finest local wines, or head into Bellagio and sample its fantastic foods.

Although the villa offers tranquillity, you’re not far from the city either. Its location allows for short drives to cities like Milan, Bergamo, and Como, and you can also enjoy making the short trip across the border into Switzerland to visit Lugano.

The villa’s excellent location also invites you to enjoy hikes and boat trips around the lake, along with other outdoor activities such as tennis and golf.

Tri Lake Serenity

Juicer

What a location this home has in the heart of Varenna's historic centre. Lake Como is just 10 metres away, while restaurants, ice cream parlours and shops are also very close by. Down one of Varenna's typical alleys, you'll find this charming house in a private courtyard full of roses and palm trees. A raised terrace with alfresco dining is perfect for enjoying the sunset. There's also a stunning view of the famous 'Walk of Lovers' from this home. Inside, there's an upside-down layout, with the bedrooms and a bathroom on the lower ground floor.

The Varenna View

A hot tub overlooking Lake Como and you’re own boat dock; this villa is not your average lakeside getaway. If you’re not using your own boat, the ferry jetty is a three-minute walk from the villa, ready to whisk you to the lakeside delights of Bellagio or Varenna for the day. Or, stick around in the peaceful village of Sala Comacina, with its lakeside lido and handful of local restaurants.

The villa’s outdoor space is, quite simply, stunning. A panoramic view of the azure lake, flanked by rich green mountains is on offer from every lawn lounger, parasol-shaded dining table and covered veranda. Perhaps the best spot to take in the vista is from the comfort of the bubbling hot tub. 

Picture-frame windows inside mean you don’t miss out on Lake Como views in the bedrooms either. Glass French doors and a wall of windows open the opulent living room out to the covered veranda, blending indoors with outdoors. An old stone fireplace can keep the place cosy in the cooler months and a marble-style floor keeps things cool underfoot. In raw light-wood, the kitchen feels Scandi-chic and there’s plenty of room in here to cook and dine comfortably. We particularly love the wooden beams still on display in the huge master bedroom. 

Picture A Lake

Just a stone’s throw from Lake Como and within walking distance of the charming town of Lenno, this villa promises peace and quiet on Como’s western shore. You’ll have lake views to admire and plenty of outdoor space to soak them up – think a private pool, shaded terraces, balconies, and an outdoor lounge and dining area. Three of the bedrooms offer an extra single bed, which makes a great choice for families, though a group of close friends could make it work, too. And while the villa feels like its own retreat, we expect you’ll want to make the most of the lake, local trattorias and Spiaggia di Lenno, which are all within walking distance.

Bellagio Dream

This apartment sits in the heart of Varenna, a short walk from the picturesque Lake Como. Shops, restaurants, and the train station are also nearby, putting you in a prime position to explore both near and far. While the fuss-free interiors aren't the most exciting, we think this is a practical option for families and friends. The balcony is a lovely spot to relax with a glass of wine – even if it's overlooked a bit by neighbours – and the kitchen is a decent size if you want to prepare meals at home. With the double sofa bed in use, space will be tight, so we think it's best suited for four.

Whispering Waters

If you're looking for a home with a view, then they don't get much more awe-inspiring than this. Right on the edge of Lake Como, this sweet apartment offers sweeping vistas across the water and a wonderfully peaceful setting. 

The interior is modern yet welcoming, cloaked in soothing neutral shades. The windows usher in plenty of natural light, and we loved the charming wooden ceilings. However, the jewel in the crown of this home is the outdoor space. Simply wake up and open up the patio doors to step right onto the balcony – it's the perfect place to sip your morning coffee. There's also a terrace with sun loungers where you can admire the sweeping landscapes, and even access to your own tiny beach if you fancy a paddle. 

If you feel like getting out onto the water, then there are a few boat rental companies just a short stroll away. However, if you would prefer to stay on dry land, then there are a few restaurants where you can sip a glass of wine and admire the boats from afar. Plus, the town of Bellagio is just a fifteen-minute car ride away – wander through the cobbled streets, gelato in hand, before taking a stroll through Villa Serbelloni Park. 

Sparkling Water

Lake Como villas don’t get better than this elegant home. Sitting on the shores of the lake, this home boasts mesmerising views that can be enjoyed from almost every angle thanks to floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors. The decor is chic and refined, with an open-plan living and dining space perfect for entertaining. The terrace is a show-stopper, with an infinity pool and hot tub looking out to panoramic lake views. This villa has been designed to impress. 

Ophelia on the Lake

In the mountainous peninsula between the two “legs” of Lake Como, this villa sits in splendid isolation. Manicured gardens surround the traditionally ochre-hued villa where towering trees hide secret swings, picnic benches and even a spot for badminton. There’s a patio for dining in the sunshine and here you’ll hear nothing but the cheep and pip of birdsong. 

An ivy-covered front and typically green-shuttered windows greet you at the end of a long driveway. Inside, terracotta floors keep things cool underfoot and wooden ceilings are reminiscent of the old world. A huge stone fireplace crowns the main lounge, complete with the villa’s old family crest. There are plenty of seating nooks tucked away in this home to hide with a good book. Chefs will love the traditionally Italian kitchen, which has been upgraded from its farmhouse days with granite worktops, but you can still feels the bones of the old kitchen in the wood-topped hearth (now home to a microwave and working bread oven). 

Dining can be a formal affair in the separate dining room, illuminated by a medieval-looking candelabra, or a casual breakfast just off the kitchen.

In terms of location, you’re secluded away between the mountains, but the shore of Lake Como is a short drive. Head to Bellagio, where cobbled streets lead to the lake shore and water taxis head out onto the water – it’s just a ten-minute drive away.

Jasmine & Terracotta

Situated a stone’s throw from Lake Como and within walking distance of the charming town of Lierna, this apartment guarantees peace and quiet for a small family or close-knit group of friends. The living space and main bedroom benefit from views of the water, and if you want to get a closer look, we recommend heading down to the communal garden and swimming pool. Keen to put your feet up as soon as you arrive? Your host provides a welcome pack as an optional add-on.

Lake Daydream

Take in the beautiful views of Lake Como from this home's terraces – perfect for sunset suppers. There are views from this abode's living space, too, awaiting you. If you need to catch up on work, both bedrooms have dressing tables that can double up as a laptop space. But, if you're a group of six, two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room. If that doesn't bother you, then you'll love the location. This home has private access to the Green Way footpath, which leads to Varenna (twenty minutes on foot) and the beach, a three-minute stroll away.

A Wonderful Time

A private beach on the shores of Lake Como? If that's not the definition of relaxing, we don't know what it is. Consisting of two separate apartments, this lakefront home, just a fifteen-minute drive from Bellagio, is perfect for exploring the region. Each apartment has two bedrooms, a breezy living area, and spectacular views. You can enjoy the panoramas from the balconies or, better yet, pad down to the beach and stretch out at the water's edge. Four guests will sleep on double sofa beds in the living area, but that's a worthwhile compromise when the beach is on your doorstep.

Twin Waters

Outdoor Shower

With an infinity pool and panoramic views of Lake Como, this home sets the stage for an unforgettable stay. You can enjoy the vistas from the garden and several balconies, as well as from most rooms inside. One of the interior highlights here is the second-floor bathroom with its freestanding tub offering yet more panoramas over the lake. There’s a gym here too ensuring you maintain your fitness regime while away (if you want). This villa is situated in Bellagio, with its historic gardens of Villa Melzi and Villa Serbelloni. You can also ask your host to organise the hire of a classic car or a chartered boat to explore the area more.


Bellini Skies

Nestled in the heart of Sala Comacina, this fuss-free apartment is an ideal base for a family or small group of friends on an Italian adventure. While the home offers everything you could need for a relaxing stay, the stand-out for us is the outdoor space. From the private balcony, you can drink in views of Lake Como – just the spot for a morning coffee or evening limoncello. And if that doesn’t tick all your holiday boxes, there’s a communal swimming pool to enjoy here too, perfect to beat the heat of the day. 

Como's Delight

This lakeside home boasts a dream location in the picturesque village of Sala Comacina. The villa sits right on the edge of Lake Como and has a dock so you can bring a boat and spend your time on the water. When your feet are on terra firma, you’ll have a Jacuzzi to soak in – the beautiful garden overlooks the lake. There’s an alfresco dining area and a barbecue, too. Inside, huge windows draw the eye outside to the glorious vista – Lake Como is the star of the show here. 

Lulled by the Lake

Situated in a prime location overlooking Lake Como with a backdrop of mountains – the setting couldn’t be more dramatic. There’s an infinity swimming pool and terrace with wonderful views, while inside, the vistas continue to wow. Inside, there’s an open-plan living room and a cosy bar area – perfect for entertaining. And to make sure you have time to relax, a free breakfast is served daily by the private chef. For lunch, you can do some cooking in the stylish kitchen or visit one of the local restaurants a short stroll away.

The Lake Embrace

Heated Towel Rail

The views of Lake Como from this home are simply gorgeous – we could sit on the balcony here gazing out over the gently rippling water to the mountains for hours. You can enjoy the incredible vistas from the terrace too, where you can relax on the sun loungers or dine alfresco. Whip up some tortelli di zucca in the sleek, dove grey kitchen for dinner. On chilly evenings gather around the fire or get some rest in the stylish bedrooms with their ornate wallpaper. 

Situated in Argegno, there are a range of eateries within a five-minute walk. Further afield, the alpine city of Lecco, with its splendid Basilica di San Nicolò, is eleven minutes in the car. Or walk the trails of the stunning Monte Barro Regional Park, a sixteen-minute drive from this lovely home.
