Villas on Lake Como

Enjoy a refreshing getaway in these two luxury villas on Lake Como, near the quiet, refined town of Varenna, the heart of the lake area for centuries. Built on a rocky promontory over the lake, Varenna is populated with beautiful old houses and romantic panoramas. Plentiful olive and cypress trees are testament to the mild climate at these Lake Como accommodations. A romantic walkway, abounding in flora, wends along the lakefront, linking the town center to Olivedo, a landing point for ferries and steamers. This pair of Lake Como villas includes two villas and lovely gardens, perfect for a large group.
