Magnificent lake and mountain views await at this splendid Lake Como home. You’ll be just a 500-metre walk from the beach and the shores of the lake – water sports enthusiasts will have plenty to keep them entertained. There’s lots to do at the villa too, with a games room and sauna inside and, in the garden, a swimming pool that’s perfectly positioned for those incredible vistas. Your host can arrange a private chef to cook on the pizza oven or prepare a pasta feast, or you might like to fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco – those views really are something special.
