The villa is super spacious and the photos don’t do it justice. Alfresco dining! Welcome dinner was a wonderful amenity and delicious! AC in the bedrooms. Incredible views of the lake! The French doors open up to the lake letting in great breezes. Other than the kitchen which is gorgeous no issues without full ac. Just take a dip in the amazing pool before cooking or better yet hire the chef more often. The back yard opens to the gate to Lake Como. The young adults walked to get Gelato and to town to the pub. We took the ferries to other towns on Lake Como- 10 to 30 minutes depending on stops.
Daniella the manager stopped each day assisted with ferry schedules, restaurant reservations, got sparklers, anything we asked. Pool/grounds keeper kept things pristine. Pool cover easy to operate and Mario took care of it as needed. Housekeepers where friendly and superb. Ample parking. An amazing and memorable adventure!
(We renting this villa with the guidance of villa specialist Sue Matthews for a very small wedding for my daughter. It was a small, private and spectacular event!) - Kristen M.
Melite
Europe / Italy / The Lakes
Lake Como’s breathtaking landscape, with its crystal-clear waters surrounded by dramatic mountains, is a significant draw.
Overview
The serene and picturesque setting creates an idyllic escape, perfect for those seeking peace, inspiration, or simply a luxurious getaway in nature. Lake Como has long been a magnet for celebrities due to its unique combination of natural beauty, luxury, privacy, and cultural charm. The region is synonymous with luxury tourism, offering Michelin-starred restaurants, private boat tours, and bespoke experiences catered to a high-end clientele. Thanks to the presence of the lake, the area enjoys a mild climate, with cool summers and relatively mild winters, making it a pleasant destination year-round. This combination of natural splendor, luxury, and privacy, along with its proximity to Milan and cultural appeal, makes Lake Como a haven for visitors looking for an exclusive yet accessible escape.
