Relish an alfresco lunch at the lovely table under the arbor, as the lake waters lap the rocky shore beside you. Launch from the boat dock to explore the lake's vast expanse, and return in the evening to sip digestivi on the lawn, as the scintillating surface reflects the sunset's colors.

The villa's beautiful interior features French doors and windows opening to the garden and terrace, inviting the exquisite Como breeze indoors. Open a bottle of fine Italian wine the living room, stepping out onto the balcony to watch the stars appear. Prepare delectable feasts in the fully equipped kitchen, serving antipasti at the bar, and gather around the gorgeous, ten-person dining table. At night, cuddle up in the TV lounge with your favorite films.
