Perched on the shores of Lake Como in the quiet village of Acquaseria, this villa offers something increasingly rare on the lake – a private dock and lounge pier where you can swim straight from the garden or set off in one of the complimentary canoes. The cliffside dining terrace adds real drama to evenings outdoors, with the rock face as an unlikely but memorable backdrop. Inside, large windows frame uninterrupted water views from the living room, and the main bedroom carries those same views into the night. Bellagio is a forty-two-minute drive when you're ready to explore.

Home truths
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can arrange a cot and baby equipment on request.
Menaggio is a short drive away rather than walkable from the villa, so you'll want a car to reach the town's cafes, restaurants, and ferry connections with ease.
Hen and stag parties are strictly not allowed at this home.
