About the Experience
This Lake Como villa is the perfect venue for weddings, family reunions, or large group gatherings: each bedroom has its own en suite bathroom, and all beds can be made up as one queen or two twins. A large lawn area, tennis court, and private swimming pool mean that this Italian lake villa for rent has plenty of room for outdoor relaxation and recreation. Not only that, but a professional-grade kitchen provides all your group needs for a cooking class or your own personal chef. And with a great central location near Menaggio, this villa on Lake Como is also a wonderful stepping-off point for your explorations.
Location
This villa is located about a 10 minute drive from the lake shore village of Menaggio. Once a walled city, some of the remnants are still visible today. In the summer, Menaggio 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.

Exterior Description
Continuously owned by the same family since it was built, this 19th century villa faces southeast with views of the three branches of Lake Como as well as the mountains behind. It is surrounded by a beautiful park with century-old trees, a private tennis court, and a private swimming pool (10m x 6m). Parking is available for 3 cars. Also included in the rental price is a private mooring at the S. Maria Rezzonico harbor.
Interior Description
This villa has a total of eight bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. All beds are 160 cm queen-size beds that can be divided into twins upon request. Two extra single beds can be added on the third floor at an extra cost. The interior of the villa is glamorous, with mosaic floors, a great wooden staircase, and statues. Although it still maintains an authentic atmosphere, the villa has recently been restored to include all the amenities of a modern house.
Ground Floor: A large foyer opens into a living room with a fireplace, satellite TV, and doors opening onto a lawn with views of the lake. A formal dining room has seating for 16, while the professional-grade kitchen is equipped with everything necessary for a chef: professional gas range and oven, American coffee maker, toaster, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, and dryer. (Please note that the photo of the kitchen shown is of a similar kitchen; the kitchen at this villa will be comparable but slightly different in appearance.) This floor also has a guest WC.
