On the slopes of Lake Como, this villa is a short drive from the village of Colico (7 kilometres away) and the buzzing lakeside town of Varenna (14 kilometres away). The garden backs onto the lakeside, and you’ve got a view of the glassy water from the swimming pool and private hot tub – perfect after a day of watersports on the lake. Dining and sunning terraces take in the beautiful view from all levels. Inside, big windows in the bedrooms let you wake to a lake view. There’s a certain charm to the 1960s decor and the kitchen is sleek and modern – it comes pre-stocked with groceries and you'll be welcomed with a complimentary dinner.

Home truths
While not all of the bedrooms and bathrooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
At capacity, one guest will be on an additional pull-out bed in the single bedroom.
The living and dining areas are both downstairs, so this place may not suit those with limited mobility.
A maid service is included for three hours per week. A welcome dinner and pre-stocked groceries are also included.
The swimming pool isn't fenced and there's a drop at the edge of the garden. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
In a fairly remote location, having a car is recommended. There is private parking within the grounds of the villa.
