Casa Preé was built on the remains of a rural building and has been completely renovated and modernized. It has a terrific roof terrace with a postcard perfect view of Lake Como, the Bellagio peninsula and the snow covered mountains of the Alps.
Situated in Rezzonico, a stunning lake side village near Menaggio ( 8km), the house borders the " Antica Regina" a road constructed by the Romans.
