Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This architecturally designed home, with a romantic view of the world-famous Lake Como, was built in the 40s and still welcomes families and large groups of friends for a tranquil Italian getaway. Though the interior is beautiful, especially with exposed Moltrasio stone, the garden is what caught our eye. You'll find seating for everything from alfresco meals to quiet moments with a book, and a private pool with a view. With the lake so close, there's paddle boat and canoe hire for those wanting to get better acquainted with the lake. But if relaxing is what you're after, the private sauna and hot tub are waiting.
