A magical lakeside retreat

This villa is an ideal location for those who truly want to get away from it all as it is nestled at the foot of a cliff, on the water’s edge, on the west coast of Lake Como and is only accessible by boat. The property consists of three hectares of terraced garden with an infinity pool, grass tennis court, beautifully manicured lawns, and walkways along the lakeside dotted with cypress and lemon trees. It is considered by all to be the most beautiful property on the lake.

The 19th century villa was renovated in 2008 with great attention paid to marrying the authenticity of the past with modern comfort and luxury. The result is a home that is charming, intimate, and unique. The colour scheme of pale tones and creams was chosen to enhance rather than distract from the outside lake and garden views. The blending of antiques with rich fabrics of silk, linen and cotton that have been used throughout the villa, maintain the feeling of grandeur and opulence. The drawing room has an impressive handmade solid wood floor that was painstakingly made to exactly replicate the original. There are several outside sitting areas with modern rattan furniture and thick cream cushions around the house, at the pool and at the tennis court for relaxation and dining. State of the art modern comforts have been discreetly incorporated into this luxury property, such as the kaleidescape entertainment system; and the home cinema and TechnoGym fitness centre which are housed in a separate building next to the pool. The key to this property is not only its uniqueness but also the fact that it has one of the finest team of domestic staff that are at your service.
