Perched on the hills above Mezzegra, this villa looks out over the bay of Lenno and the Villa Balbianello promontory – a view that's the backdrop to every meal in the vaulted dining room and every afternoon by the shared pool. The garden wraps around with generous places to settle: a shaded portico, a secluded corner, and a round table for alfresco dinners. The two portico suites each have their own sitting area and en-suite bathroom, giving the villa a flexibility that suits groups who value a little breathing room. The lakeside is a ten-to-fifteen-minute walk downhill.
