Description from the manager
Come to this beautiful Italian Lakes holiday villa for an elegant vacation with an unbeatable view! Great either for a family with kids or friends traveling together, this Lake Como villa rental has five en suite bathrooms, a huge kitchen, and a play room for little ones. Adults will enjoy the large sunny terrace with a magnificent lake view, while kids can splash in the pool or play at the beach next door. And whatever your group demographics, everyone staying at this villa on Lake Como will enjoy exploring the surrounding area-- one of the most beautiful natural areas in Italy.
[2,500 m2] This lakefront property has a simply breathtak...ing view of the lake and the surrounding mountains. The house is surrounded on the front and around one side by a large terra-cotta terrace [45m x 8m] and then lawn, equipped with an outdoor dining table and chairs where you can have a meal with an incredible view. Around the side of the house is a small above-ground swimming pool [5m x 3m]. Behind the house is a parking area for six cars; across the street from the parking area is a museum devoted to ancient watercraft, called La Raccolta della Barca Lariana. To the left of the house [on the side of the pool] is a small dock area, and to the right is a public beach. A public path runs in front of the property between the front lawn and the water, so this property should not be considered secluded; the most pedestrians come during July and August.
[600 m2]
Ground Floor: The front doors of this villa lead into an entry room where there is a closet. Directly to the left is a play room for children, with access to the terrace. Continuing straight ahead from the entryway, you will enter into a 55 m2 living/dining area with a huge wooden dining table [seating about 10-14] and French doors opening out onto the terrace. An open doorway leads into a 37 m2 living room, where there are a couple of couches and a TV. Two open doorways on either side of the television lead into a closed veranda, where there is a table and chairs in front of a couple of sunny windows, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. At the opposite end of the living room, another doorway leads into a small hallway where there are two WCs and a staircase leading to the first floor. Back in the dining room, a door to the right leads into a large kitchen equipped with a dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, oven, cook-top, and microwave.

This lakefront villa is located ten kilometers north of Menaggio on the northwest shore of Lake Como, literally next door to a beach. Once a walled city, some remnants are still visible in Menaggio today. In the summer, it is a popular recreation area, with opportunities for windsurfing, water skiing, and other water-based activities. You could also rent a bicycle and explore the area or take a walk down the lakeside promenade, lined with flowers. Because of its central location, Menaggio is a great base for exploring the rest of the area. Drive down the lakeshore road to Tremezzo and Como, or hop on a ferry to visit Varenna or Bellagio. Known as "la perla del lago" [the pearl of the lake], Bellagio is considered by many to be the most beautiful town in Europe. Its narrow cobbled streets, breathtaking views, impeccable homes and glorious villas make it a most enchanting spot to explore. Como, located at the southernmost tip of the lake which bears its name, is perfect for a day's outing. Sights in Como include the Duomo, the austere church of San Abbondio, the Piazza S. Fedele [with many 400-year-old buildings], and the Basilica, one of the masterpieces of the "maestri comacini" [Como masters]. Before leaving, be sure to take the funicular up to Brunate-- a small village with a spectacular view. While on Lake Como, you'll discover that the cuisine is based primarily on fish. Specialties include misultitt [fish desiccated in containers called misolte] and soused fish [fried and then pickled], along with more traditional dishes like rice with perch or smoked trout.

The villa is beautiful. Very roomy, large kitchen that was once a restaurant, lovely caretaker Daniella who is extremely helpful and daily housekeeping. The house is lovely and gracious. Very sleepy town but the surrounding vista is stunning and the lack of tourist activity is a plus.
Not too difficult to get to the towns nearby but requires a significant ferry or car journey. It is quite a distance down the lake from Como and has limited ferry access. There is a public walkway that is fairly busy, which limits the feeling of privacy. The owners have planted hedges to increase privacy but unfortunately that reduces the view of the lake!
What a fabulous time we had at the villa in Italy! It was everything you said it would be. The owner/keyholder was wonderful to deal with. She left us a detailed folder with all the things we needed to know and more about the villa and the area. We had perfect weather, as well. We woke up to clouds one morning, and it was snowing on the mountains. It was truly beautiful. It was mostly melted the next day, but for a short period of time, really changed the landscape. It was a very well maintained house with a good House Book.
Location. Loved the kitchen - it even had a microwave/convection oven! The house was spotless.
Can't think of anything. Uncomfortable furniture in the living room. The owner said that it was just temporary and would be replaced.
We loved the small villages and the ferries, and the ability to walk along the water. The people were great.
