The house overlooks the lake and has an extraordinary view!
Built in the beginning of the 20th century it has been recently renovated by the actual owners, Federico and Claudia Walter, who were able to preserve the characteristics of the traditional “lake cottage”. The house is located over the village's secondary road and is joined to its private lake side by a footbridge.
At the first floor there is the large suite composed by: double bedroom and main bathroom, with two
balconies over the lake.
Breakfast served in the dining room at the lower floor or in the room's balcony.
Second floor. owner occupied.
The villa has a magnificent garden on the lake with a private jetty for boats' landing and a covered dock with terrace.
It stands in the middle of a quiet oasis of peace: a large park, on different levels, surrounds the main house.
It is strategically located along the road which links the west side of Lake Como to Milan and to Switzerland. It is about 40 km from Milan and same from Lugano, and 6 km from Como. Walking distance from the famous “Villa D’Este” in Cernobbio as well as from Laglio, the residence of Mr George Clooney!
Tourist attractions such as "Villa Balbianello" in Lenno, Tremezzo with "Villa Carlotta", Menaggio, Bellagio with "Villa Melzi" and Varenna are very near as well.
For biking lovers we organize beautiful trails guided round the lake and up and down the hills. This is the area where the final race of the Pro Tour takes place: the Giro di Lombardia.
You can ride in fact some of the famous hills of the “Lombardia”: the Schignano hill in Val d’Intelvi, the Osteno hill, the tough Ghisallo hill following the steps of famous Fausto Coppi. This was the place where the Motorola team and Lance Armstrong were training. Lance was living just across Cernobbio on the other side of the Lake.
