Lake Como fills every arched window of this lakefront villa, where the living and dining spaces open directly onto the water and a terrace garden lets you watch boats drift past as cypress trees frame the view. A private boat dock means the lake is yours to explore at will, while a heated indoor pool keeps things flexible whatever the weather brings. The funicular connecting the villa to the main road adds a touch of occasion to the everyday, and when you do venture out, Como Cathedral's Gothic-Renaissance façade is a thirty-minute walk along the shore.
