This 19th-century home is perfect for a group of friends or a large family looking to create Lake Como memories. Spreading out is easy with a collection of comfortable bedrooms (most of which have private bathrooms), though we reckon a majority of your time will be spent in the garden. It offers a terrace, a swimming pool, and over 2,500 square meters of sunny grounds ideal for alfresco relaxation. Keen to explore? Varenna is a 9-kilometre drive, Lecco is reachable in thirty minutes, and the town centre and lake are a short stroll away.
