A very luxurious apartment in the grounds of the historic Villa Capoana!
Villa Capoana was constructed in the year 1605 for the Duke of Mount Marciano in the locality of Fonte Uga in Fiumelatte. It was home to noble families for many generations until just recently, a part of it was reconstructed. In renovating, the construction company has ensured the preservation of the monumental fountain and garden area, which is a highlight of the historic villa and is now showpiece of the exclusive residence, which retains beauty and prestige.
This newly constructed apartment (ID 140) offers only the highest quality fixtures and fittings throughout, with no expense spared. The interior finishes of the apartment are beautifully done from the bleached-oak parquet floor to the soft painted suede finish walls. It is fitted with all modern appliances to facilitate this apartment with a fully-fitted luxury kitchen which allows you to cook your favourite Italian dishes, using fresh herbs available in the garden area. There are two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which has a 'built–in' tiled bath tub, big enough for two, letting you relax together in style.
There is also a flat screen HD TV with Sky movie channels and DVD player to the living area which is framed by two large sliding glass doors to access the spectacular terrace, giving picture-postcard views of the lake throughout the apartment and creating a superb entertaining area.
You can enjoy the heat of the sun on this spacious front terrace while preparing a barbeque on the outdoor grill, or stay cool under the shade of cypress trees, in the beautiful paved garden behind.
The two luxurious double bedrooms both enjoy flat screen HD TVs and enjoy direct access through French doors to the guests’ spacious sunny terrace.
A special feature of this apartment is that it has direct access to the amazing monumental fountain which runs down from the mountain. You can sit here in the private garden sipping wine, or dining in the shade of the cypress and palm trees while watching the water run through the fountain down to the lake, only a few meters below.
The apartment has an under floor heating system which keeps it warm during the colder season and centralized air-conditioning with individually controlled zones to keep it cool in the summer. It also has a private garage with automatic remote control doors. The property is accessed by elevator with private keys. Fiumelatte train station is also very near the apartment.
The apartment is in the village of Fiumelatte, part of the beautiful town of Varenna, just 1 km away on the Eastern shore of Lake Como. The property has been designed to take full advantage of the lakes premier view of the 'Golden Triangle' (Bellagio, Menaggio and Varenna).
Varenna is home to Italy's shortest river, the Fiumelatte. Only 250 meters long it rushes, frothy and milky-white (hence the name) down the rock face and crashes into the lake from the end of March to the end of October each year. And then it stops - just like that. Leonardo da Vinci climbed down to find out where the water came from (without success!), as recorded in his Codice Atlantico notebook.
Skiing in the area is bountiful with resorts such as Madesimo 1.15hr to the north and the local ski resort of Piani di Bobbio, only 40 mins away. The International jet-set resort of St. Moritz is just 1.5 hours by car.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful apartment-- cooking in the gourmet kitchen, relaxing in the modern furniture, enjoying sunsets and the spectacular views of the lake, and walking into town. The property managers were very responsive and helpful. Appreciated the secure, covered parking space, although there are a variety of keys to enter the property. Enjoyed hiking to the castle, and dining at: Villa Cipressi, Vecchia Varenna, Varenna Monamour, Quattropass (we loved the music so much that the waiter gave us the CD!), and taking the ferry to Bellagio for excellent pizza at La Grotta -- fun waiter plus I could watch the pizza being made. Varenna is absolutely charming. We look forward to returning!
Recommended for:Sightseeing, romantic getaway, adventure seekers.

My husband and I loved our time spent in Varenna at the lovely La Dolce Vita. The apt.is very elegant and the location, right on Lake Como, is perfect for beautiful views. We enjoyed walking into Varenna everyday and taling the ferry across the lake to other villages. We especially liked Cernobbio and Bellagio. The food was delicious everywhere we ate, especially the fresh seafood. In Varenna, we especially enjoyed the restaurants at Hotel Du Lac and Villa Cipressi for lunch on their terraces. The concierge at Villa Cipressi was particularly helpful.
