The Lombardy / Lake Como Area
Lake Como is situated within Lombardy home also to Milan the fashion capitol of the world, Bergamo with its majestic squares & medieval churches & Monza for grand prix lovers! However if you are searching for something more serene Lake Como is a haven for tranquility.For years young & old have visited Lake Como and returned home refreshed, ivorigated and bewitched by its unparallelled beauty. People arrive here for the serene atmosphere, bewitching views and relaxed lake living (not to mention world renowned cuisine). However customers return again and again due to the welcoming locals and sleepy pace of life that engulfs you and leaves you hungry for more. I first visted the lake 5 years ago and bought this apartment on my very first visit-it was love at first sight. Five years i have made lake como my home, leaving the Uk for good such was the pull of good food and wine, scenery, sunshine and chilled out lake side living. I hope to help you find your little haven for relaxation here in Lake Como too!
Argegno area
For those who just wish to take in the sun and relax or just go for a lazy stroll to walk of that lunchtime gelato then Lake Como offers the perfect holiday to achieve a relaxing chill out break.
However for holidaymakers who liketo explore there is plenty of variation on offer from visiting medieval churches to browsing at the many italian boutiques in nearby Como town famed for it's silk and leather, talking a boat ride for a spot of dinner on one of the many lakeside villages to climbing the mountains high above the lake! Choose from Villa Carlotta, 20 minutes from the apartment with it's acres of beautiful lake facing gardens, Villa Balbinello in Lenno (15 minutes drive)for romance and relaxation (James Bond seemed to favour the latter in the recent Casino Royale production filmed here last summer)
Bellagio never fails to dissapoint and offers a great excuse to take the water ferry across the lake. Marvel at it's picturesque promontories, cobbled streets and fine art shops all with lake views par excellence.
Drive down to Cernobbio for an idyllic sunday afternoon stroll. Menaggio, with it's pretty palm lined walkways it another pretty lake village worth exploring.
Argegno itself offers everything you could hope for in a typical italian village. From geletaria and bakery to fruit and veg store to minimarket all conveniences are catered for. Cafe culture, restaurants serving local specialities, ferry, bus service, lake side walks and a warm welcome from the locals! Here you can mix with the local italians who will help provide you with an authentic lakeside adventure sampling real lombaridan food (risotto is a favourite) and a relaxed approach to life is infectious to the point of helping you unwind and uncharge your batteries!
We provide detailed information on the area including details of places to visit and our favourite restaurants for all our clients to help you get the most out of your stay!

Guestbook
A wonderfully luxurious and spacious apartment which i could live in! Ideal to explore the area, the garden is a fantastic spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the views! The village has everything you could ever need from the ferry to delcious icecream parlour! Will return. James Thomas & Family.
The apartment has every home comfort and made a stay in Lake Como one we will treasure forever. Very convenient to have the luxury of two bathrooms, the kitchen is well stocked and beds very comfortable. Many an afternoon or evening enjoying a lazy lunch or candlelit summer with more than a glass or two of wine. Thank you for all your help and recommendations prior to stay and on arrival. Your local knowledge was invaluable. David Davies & Family
The apartment looked superb on the website and the reality was even better. Loved the lake view and space of the apartment, luxurious yet comfortable. We immediately felt at home. I would definitely recommend you. Jane and Colin Westphall.
Just a quick e-mail to say again how much we enjoyed our stay at your apartment in Argegno. The holiday was very relaxing, the apartment very comfortable and so well equipped (much the best place that we have rented for a holiday).
Thank you for making us feel so at home - we will certainly be recommending you to our friends and will definitely use you again if ever we come back to the Lakes.
Thanks again.
With best wishes,
Sarah, Stephen, Lucy and Robert Parish
