A dream destination, this 19th-century lakeside villa couldn’t be closer to the shores of Lake Como. Enjoy views of the lake from inside and out, thanks to large windows and a beautiful garden complete with a fish pond and a private heated pool. We love the style of this home; it’s classy and stylish, while also being wonderfully comfortable – though it is spread over four floors. Boat trips exploring Lake Como are a breeze thanks to the private dock – also great for those wanting a refreshing dip. You’ll be within walking distance of restaurants and shops, and can visit Cernobbio in no time.
