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.

  • Villa Panoramica is aptly named. The view of Lake Como from the private terrace is breathtaking. Our stay of five days in September, 2009, was not long enough. The modern apartment is lovely, with new appliances, computer access, and spacious rooms. Easy walk to the village below with restaurants, shops, and a ferry terminal. Drive or take the ferry to all Lake Como villages. We can't wait to return. Thank you Silvana.

  • Our family of three stayed at Villa Panoramica for just 3 nights in April during our 2 week Italian vacation. We wish we had spent a week there! What a view! At dawn, at dust, any time! The two bedrooms were great for our teenage son who loves some space of his own. Silvana is a great hostess who thinks of virtually everything! I suggest to those coming to stay, before going out to the grocery, check first what Silvana has put in the cupboard for you. I was surprised to find a loft of bread & a pack of rice! Como was our first stop. Lake Como is divine, a great entrance to Italy for us! We drove along the beautiful lake and across the ferry to Bellagio & Veranna. Visiting Villa Balbianello's beautiful grounds is a must! We carried Silvana's restaurant recommendations along while we drove around, and they were all great. Just wanna add Helvetia lake-front restaurant in Tremezzo as well. We had discovered it quite by luck (and hunger!), after learning last minute that most are closed on Mondays! Thanks for everything, Silvana! You can expect more people coming from Thailand!

  • This beautiful home was our base for 4 nights over Easter Weekend 2009. The apartment is stunning. It is bright and airy with beautiful high vaulted ceilings and we spent every waking minute admiring the sweeping 200 degree views of Lago Di Como. The house comes with a desk-top with hi-speed internet and a flat screen Sony with British satellite TV. It is an easy and gorgeous 5 minute walk down to the village center of Argegno. Argegno is beautiful, friendly and convenient. You have everything you need here: La Piazzeta for amazing food, Zoe's for excellent gelato (both face the fountain in the quaint waterfront piazza and have really friendly owners and staff), a drugstore and the Argegno ferry landing, where you can catch boats to every village on Lake Como. Silvana, who owns and manages the property, is wonderful. She is honest and friendly and speaks native English (she was born in Britain). She has stocked the house with lots of local guidebooks and literature. Her rental policies are a welcome relief from the nonsense you get from many European properties; you pay her the agreed rate and that includes everything. There is absolutely no nickel and dime nonsense. Mind you, this is in a market where some owners take a meter reading and charge you for utilities!! We ate at George Clooney's favorite restaurant (Il Gatto Nero in Cernobbio) and visited Bellagio and Tremezzo. There were great, but our favorite moments of this visit were spent sitting on the balcony of this perfect Villa...

  • We stayed two weeks in Villa Panormica. It was more than advertised. Spectacular view of Lago di Como. Owners have thought of everything to make one's stay comfortable. Rent a small car and parking is no problem. Owners very helpful and a wealth of information about the area. Ferry rides are beautiful and convenient to all Lake locations. No reservations in recommending this property.

  • Villa Panoramica was the perfect place for our vacation! With 4 adults and 1 baby, the separate bedrooms were great, and it was nice to not have to worry about finding a crib or highchair. The villa was very clean and had pretty much any ammenity you could ask for! The kitchen was well stocked with plates, cups, silverware, utensils, and more! It was also extremely convinent to have a washer/ dryer and close access to the town of Como and nearby grocery stores. I'd highly recommend a stay at Villa Panoramica!

  • We love this place! Everything was new, clean and well organized. Kitchen is good enough for preparation of gourmet meals. Views are spectacular, from morning mist to moonglow on the lake at night. Bring a short car, as parking space is a bit tight. Argegno is a quaint spot with great access to bus, motor launch and local sites. However, what it lacks in shopping is easily overcome in nearby villages. Drink the local wines, eat the lake perch, explore the villages, get lost and never regret it... You can use this place as a private getaway to spend quiet days, a base to launch day trips throughout Northern Italy, or have a small family reunion. Ciao, Mark and Barbara

  • This apartment is everything advertised and more! It is brand new and sparkling clean. The location is fabulous on the lake - in a small, authentic village, not a tourist town, yet minutes from all the great tourist spots. The ferry landing is right below you and within minutes you can be anywhere on the lake you want to go. Silvana is helpful and charming, and as she is English/Italian,it is really helpful to have her to talk to to explain things if you do not speak Italian:-) There is also a book in the apartment that contains a wealth of information. It was so much better to have our own spacious apartment to spread out in versus a small, cramped hotel room!

  • A very stylish,spacious apartment,with breathtaking views of the Lake & the village of Argegno.Shops for essentials were a short walk away + weekly market. A great base for travelling independently either by car or public transport. If you're looking for a relaxing holiday this is the place to come! Thanks again Silvana & your husband for your helpfulness & hospitality during our holiday this year.We hope to visit again!
