Villa Violino is located in the most coveted part of Lake Como: right on the lake shore between the famous Villa d´Este hotel in Cernobbio and George Clooney´s residence in Laglio. The villa overlooks directly the lake and is set in a beautiful landscaped garden, with a private dock and a panoramic terrace with a stunning lake view.
The villa dates back to the beginning of the last century and still belongs to a noble Swiss family that coming on holiday to Lake Como fell in love with this beautiful landscape and decided to build their Italian holiday home on its shores. In 2008 Villa Violino has been completely renovated and carefully restored retaining many of its original features and balancing them harmoniously with modern comforts.
The owners have tastefully furnished and embellished the décor with fine tapestries and fabrics, floors made from fine wood with geometric inlays, beautiful paintings and period antiques. Outdoors, the garden and terrace are ideal for al fresco dining. The terrace (70 sqm) faces the lake and you can enjoy the view or sunbathe in full privacy.
Its convenient location, just a few kilometres from Cernobbio and only 7 km (4,35 miles) from the centre of Como, as well as easy access to public transportation (bus stop is 150 metres from the villa and the pier of the Navigazione dei Laghi ferries is 400 metres distant), makes Villa Violino an ideal destination for touring Lake Como.
A lake access for swimming is also available. From the villa's private dock, guests can use a rental boat or the comfortable water-taxis to visit the famous Villa d´Este as well as the charming lake villages Menaggio Bellagio and Tremezzo. Restaurants and shops are in walking distance. An 18-hole golf course is just three kilometers away. As with all the lake shore villas the lake road is located behind the rental: It is not the main Lake Como road, but the local one. Although all the rooms except one face the lake, the windows are provided with triple glasses.
The part of the lake from Como to Tremezzo is a sophisticated resort, where you cannot find isolated or rural areas - here you come for the scenery, for shopping, breathing luxury and enjoying the views from the stylish restaurants and cafés. The ancient villages and enchanting gardens are the setting for the historical villas of the Lombardy aristocracy and offer a pleasant stay at any time of the year. The best way to enjoy the views of the ancient villas and their gardens is by boat.
Villa Violino measures 600 sqm, develops on three floors plus the basement and is set on a 2000 sqm property.
