Arrive in style at this lakeside property on board a resplendent Riva speedboat, thanks to its private jetty. Disembark and step inside to discover a spacious and stylish open-plan living area and kitchen, kitted out with all the culinary accoutrements you might need to whip up delicious homemade meals, just like nonna used to make. From the living room, not only will you enjoy access to a private balcony through two sets of French doors, but also awe-inspiring panoramic views capable of bringing a tear to the eye. The soothing atmosphere of the bedrooms will help you relax after your journey, while there's a good amount of storage space so you can unpack and settle in. The main bedroom even finds room for a desk and enjoys access to an en-suite shower room. When you're not sunbathing and swimming in the lake, explore the surrounding village of Laglio. With slopes full of vineyards and olive groves, and pastel-coloured villas, it's one of the most elegant lakeside locations. But don't take our word for it. George Clooney purchased his nearby eighteenth-century estate back in 2002 and still returns multiple times a year, some two decades later.

Home truths

    Check yourself in on arrival with the lockbox

    Guests five and six will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living space

    The dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace

    Bedroom 2 can be setup as either a twin or king-size double – just let your host know before your arrival

    Though there's a parking space here, it's only suitable for very small vehicles and you'll need a reservation – finding a space to park on the street can also be tricky, depending on time of day.

    Your host provides a starter supply of essentials, but you'll likely need to top up during your stay – the nearest shop is a ten-minute walk away.
