Nestled on a green slope overlooking the beautiful Lake Como, this home makes the most out of its setting. You’ll be able to gaze out onto the lake from the villa’s elegant interior, as well as from the generous outdoor spaces which include a terrace, a private pool and Jacuzzi. You can also enjoy outdoor activities like table tennis, table football, badminton, and volleyball. We love the vistas here, and the home itself offers plenty of charm and comfort – bear in mind though that there are stairs to climb inside, some quite steep. Some of the rooms will be closed during your stay, but there’s ample room to accommodate six guests in the three bedrooms offered.
