Immerse yourself in the luxury of this lakefront villa on the shores of Lake Como. The vistas from the private pool, balcony and garden, as well as from inside are stunning. There’s a large living space perfect for families or a group of friends and the accommodation is split over several floors. We love the professional-style kitchen which can be used by the cook in the family or by a private chef if you wish. The lake is a short stroll away when you want to explore – your host can arrange boat rentals if you’d like to experience the area from the water. Also, within walking distance is the village of Laglio, with its pastel-coloured houses, vineyards and olive groves.
