The Lombardy / Lake Como Area region


Lake Como, surrounded by mountains, hills valleys and cities of art, has much to offer. It is situated in one of the most economically and industrially important regions (Lombardy) in Northern Italy, nestled between Lake Maggiore and Lake Garda, right on the Swiss boarder, framed by the majesty of the Alps, where different cultures have merged over the centuries to form it’s unique and inimitable charm. We enjoy a varied climate, generally snowy winters, mild springs and warm summers, but being near the water, never too hot and then we have our mountains to escape to just in case.
The Laglio area
While spending a holiday on Lake Como, you will have the chance to see much more than you would expect.
You could explore its breathtaking surroundings, beautiful villas and picturesque villages…
You could compare it with the less well known but far from less beautiful Lake Orta and Lake Lugano…
You could visit the nearby cities, full of history and culture, such as Milan, Bergamo and of course Como the capital city of the Lake, just to mention a few…
You could slip into Switzerland and pay a visit to Campione D’Italia and its casino, or travel a little further and enjoy the nature in one of the jet-set ski resorts such as St. Moritz. A trip into the northern mountains to try the local wine and enjoy a ride on the 'glacier express' train which is always a thrilling experience, winter or summer.
We are the managers of the Tourist office in Argegno and can help you organise tours, walks, wine tasting, English speaking babysitters, 'in house chef', just ask and we will be happy to help.

‘Thank you so much. We truly loved our stay at Villa Negri’
Art Garfunkal and family, New York USA – September ‘07
Everything was perfect, we were so impressed how well stocked the kitchen was! You have worked really hard on refurbishing the villa, the decor and furnishings are beautiful and totally in keeping (I would have liked to taken a couple of chandeliers home!) Silvana was a great help and Denise very efficient and unobtrusive. We would love to rent "Villa Negri" again in the future.

As we depart, we are filled with wonderful memories of a very special time. Villa Negri made us feel that we were stepping into Italian life for a too-short time. We shared many fantastic meals, crystal air with lots of fun and laughter. Silvana and Luigi have gone the ‘extra mile’ for us to ensure our stay at Villa Negri was perfect.
