From its prominent and elevated position, just above the delightful village of Argegno, on the western shores of Lake Como, breathtaking, panoramic views of Bellagio, Comacina Island and the "Balbianello" promontory await you. (DO NOT miss a visit to the Villa Balbianello during your stay.)
We've called it VILLA PANORAMICA for a reason!!
Located on the top floor of a small brand new house, built in the grounds of an 18th century villa, it is completely self contained and although only minutes walk to the village, is very secluded.
Everything here is new, but fits in perfectly with the style of the houses built along the lake and in the mountains over the last centuries,with wood beam ceilings, teak floors in the bedrooms and Italian tiled kitchen, living area and bathrooms. (High chair and crib for small children are available, on request.)
Villa Panoramic, is a two bedroom apartment,with two double bedrooms, (1 king size bed and 2 singles), plenty of closet space and in the living area there is a comfortable double sofa-bed. It and can comfortably sleep six people, it has two bathrooms, (one en suite) an open plan kitchen/dining and living area and a wonderful terrace where you can enjoy "al fresco" dining and sunbathing in complete privacy, while admiring the natural beauty of this paradise on earth. The terrace is equipped with dining table and six chairs, sun loungers and 'swing chair'.
There is satelite TV, DVD, surround music system and a variety of CDs and DVDs for you to enjoy.
There is internet access and if you wish, we can provide you with a lap top computor.
Ideal for all types of holiday, winter and summer and for short weekend breaks and business trips.
Of course, there are many vacation rental apartments all around Lake Como, this is NOT a vacaation rental, it is our apartment, created and furnished to be used year round and we take advantage of it ourselves, when we can. Although we live only 10 minutes drive away in the hills, we find it so relaxing here, just sitting on the terrace watching local life carry on in the village and on the lake.
Argegno is in an excellent stratigic position. It is easy to reach all the other towns on the lake by ferry, bus and car, you couldn't aske for a more convenient point.
"Villa Panoramica" is only a 15 minute drive away from Cernobbio, the world famous hotel Villa D'este and the famous Villa Erba, where many exhibitions and trade fairs are held, the City of Como is a 20 minute drive away and of course Como is the silk capital of Italy, so there are many silk and textile factory outlets and shops in the town of Como.Milan is 50 kms, 1 hours drive, so it is also ideal for combining a holiday with the world famous 'Monza Grand Prix', or any other sporting or business events which you may wish to attend in Milan.
All travel information will be provided to guests enquiring about the apartment, as will a welcome book (provided in the apartment) with the local tours and suggested walking itineries in the area, local information and suggested boat trips.
It is also five minutes drive away from the "Villa Oleandra" the villa acquired from the Heinz family by George Clooney, and George has been spotted in Argegno often mixing with the local people.
The Villa Fontanella, once inhabited by Gianni Versacci is 10 minutes drive away.
Villa Panoramica is also ideal for those who do not want to be troubled with driving in Italy. The local bus stops directly below the villa and so does the local boat. There is also a public bus service from Milan Malpensa airport and Como is also well served by the international train service. We can also offer an excellent English speaking taxi driver service, which is available on request. Switzerland is also a short drive away, 45 minutes by car,in fact, Argegno sits at the foot of the 'valle Intelvi' a beautiful open valley which links Lake Como to Lake Lugano in Switzerland where you can find the City of Lugano, Campione D'italia, with it's famous "Casino" and lovely lake front walk.The famous 'Jet set resort of St. Moritz is a two hour drive away.
We reccomend that you visit our own web-site which is mentioned below, for lots more information about the lake and the services available to you.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
I have lived on lake Como since 1983 after being born and brought up in London UK My husband is from here and has transmitted to me his love of this beautifull place.
We live 10 minutes drive from the apartment, which we bought because we fell in love with the views from the terrace, everytime we come to the apartment to make sure all is OK, we breathe a sigh........ it's so beautifull, you could never be tired of seeing what we see from there.
We think we have offered our guests a good service in the past, lots of information and help organising boat rental and special trips.
Why the Owner Chose Argegno
The pure magic of the place.
The Unique Benefits of this Independent Apartment
Apart from the views, the convenience of being 5 minutes walk from one of the busiest little towns on the lake, where all the ferries stop, there are lots of restaurants and cafes, in the apartment we have air-con, heating, satelite TV,a full kitchen and a computor and internet access already for you when you arrive, to save you any hastle and to be able to keep you in touch with the world (only if you want to!!)
