Home description
Villa Camilla was built in the second half of 19th century as a summer resort for the Marquis of Rozzano. The family still owns the villa. Lake Como was very much loved already at that time for its beauty and climate. Wealthy milanese families moved for the summer from the hot humid town and travelled by train, carriage and boat to their residences on the lake shore.
Villa Camilla has since then undergone renovations and modernisation, but maintained a homely old style atmosphere.
Can you think of anything better than entertaining your family or friends for a couple of days in such a beautiful home?
The park remained as they was 150 years ago, with its lawns and ancient sequoias, cedars, oaks and palms. It has romantic footpaths, surprising water cascades,rose garden, it has also a playground for children, tennis court.
From the house which is set in landscaped terraced gardens, you have a superb view over the lake and mountains.

The Lombardy / Lake Como Area
Lake Como is in Lombardy north of Milan, close to the Swiss border. It is 50 km long and has two branches with in the middle the pretty, well known village of Bellagio. Rezzonico is on the north-west coast of lake Como at 35 km from Como-town. The lake is surrounded by high mountains, which invite for hiking or a leisurely walk through forests and villages. In winter the mountains are snow capped, but the climate is also during the wintermonths splendid as the area is protected by the high alps from northern winds. Springtime, summer and autumn are temperate. July is the warmest month of the year, but a lovely breeze freshes up the afternoons and evenings.
People like lake Como for surfing and sailing or a good swim, but also for its cuisine : the food is excellent; local wines are strong and tasty. Try the fish from the lake ( lavarello, alborelle) or the typical fish dish " misoltin"
Rezzonico area
Villa Camilla has at walking distance a few restaurants, pizzeria and supermarket. For extensive shopping: Menaggio ( 5 km) is the place, it has a very nice boulevard, charming centre with good shops, cosy piazza's, coffeeshops etc. A ferryboat criscrosses the lake, taking you in a relaxed way to see the lovely shores from the water and stops in lots of places, like Bellagio, Varenna, Como etc.
In Menaggio is also the oldest golfcourse of Italy ( 1904) laid on higher grounds with a superb view, a very difficult green I am told, but also a very good restaurant.
Since George Clooney bought a large property not far from Menaggio and his last movie was made partly on lake Como, we get a lot of attention nowadays!
