The Lombardy / Lake Como Area
The gentle breeze coming off the lake is a welcome relief from the glorious sunshine Italy can comand. People visit the Lakes for the tranquil way of life, good food and ever charming warmth of the italians. All of these statements are realised the minute you arrive. Whether you like to enjoy local fresh produce, magnificent architecture, majestic villas or magical scenery - Lake Como ticks all the right boxes!
The village of Argegno is a sleepy fishing village with superb access to all parts of the lake as well as restaurants, bars, baker and fruit and veg shop with service from a bygone area-and all this is reachable just 5 minutes from your home where you can sit back and enjoy tranquil surroundings with mountain views all around you.
Argegno / Sant Anna area
The sleepy lakeside village of Argegno with its collection of restaurants and bars is ideally situated to reach all parts of the lake from the ferry stop or by car.
Watch the locals fishing or people enjoy an espresso while they watch the boats go by along the lake. Argegno seems like a place where time has moved on without them. Visit the little bakery selling freshly baked cakes, look out for the fruit and veg shop with it' strictly seasonal produce. What's more you're less than 20 minutes drive from places such as Villa D'este, George Clooney's villa or even Villa Balbianello featured in the recent 007 movie Casino Royale. Switzerland, Milan, Monza grand prix, AC/Inter Milan FC are all less than an hour.
Argegno village is just 2km from the house and can be reached by car (5 mins drive) or by foot (20 mins). Argegno is home to a small shingle beach, whilst a golden sand man made beach is 20 mins north. Here you can sit an mini gazebos on the beach, put your feet up and let the waiters serve you your favourite drink as you take in the lake view
Your home is situated just 5 minutes drive from the village in Argegno. San Anna is perched above the village with the home positioned with wonderful mountain and panoramic views and close to two renowned restaurants/hotels which serve regional, seasonal dishes using only fresh ingredients.
Restaurants in Argegno include trattorias with fish specialities, upmarket dining (Piazzeta) and a renowned pizzeria next to the beach.
