Home description
Stunningly beautiful 'Belle Époque'villa, built 100 years ago, is now a family home. It has recently been very carefully restored by local craftsmen and builders under a watchful eye. The villa has all modern facilities combined with period furniture to retain the elegance and atmosphere the villa has always commanded, set among landscaped gardens with a pool, and views of the lake.
The beautiful marble entrance hall leads to both lounge and kitchen, with its new, hand painted cabinets with granite work surface, double oven, hob microwave, dishwasher, and all modern kitchen appliances. The elegant dining room is adjoined to the kitchen and has seating for 14 people. The Italianate lounge decorated ceilings, marble floor and open fireplace. The comfortable air conditioned bedrooms sleep up to 12 people, some have en-suite bathrooms. Full maid service is included when you rent the villa.
Together with the beautiful setting of Villa Negri, situated in Laglio, home of George Clooney, close to Villa D'Este and Como city and convenient for spectacular golf courses and water sports, here you will find everything you need to spend a relaxing holiday on the most beautiful of Italian lakes.

The Lombardy / Lake Como Area
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.
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.
