Soak up glorious views across Lake Como and the surrounding Alps from this villa. There’s a private pool for refreshing dips and sunny terraces for lazy afternoons surrounded by a grassy garden. Inside, the living spaces are bright with a well-equipped kitchen for easy holiday cooking. Though, it’s worth noting a few rooms do feel a little dated in parts. You’ll also find a sauna, Jacuzzi, and games room for unwinding – well, that’s when you’re not setting sail on the water, hopping between Lake Como’s many hidden gems, and sampling the best of Italian cuisine.
