Just two minutes from George Clooney's villa, this luxurious Lake Como home is a real gem. The views are spectacular – think sparkling lake and dramatic mountains – and they're best enjoyed from the private pool or the manicured gardens. There’s also a barbecue and outdoor seating for long, relaxed dinners under the stars. Inside, the comfort continues with a gym and sauna. Just mind the stairs – there are a few of them here, including in the top-floor mezzanine bedroom. When you’re ready to explore, hop on a boat tour to admire the other lakeside villas and stop off for an aperitivo with a view.
