Lake Love Letters

Lake Love Letters: Lombardy

Perched by Lake Como, this villa caught our eye thanks to its beautiful surroundings – best enjoyed from the infinity pool or terrace. Inside, sliding doors connect the open living space to the outdoor area, where you'll find sun loungers, a dining table, and a barbecue. Spread over four floors with an internal lift, there's also a fully equipped home gym, complete with a sauna and spa shower. Upstairs, two of the bedrooms benefit from sweeping lake views, and there's a study area for those working remotely. And, when you're ready to explore, it's just a short drive from the city of Como – the villa also comes with garage parking.

Home truths:
*The bedroom on the lower floor doesn't have air conditioning or any windows so it lacks natural light.
*We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's free parking in the garage for two cars (three if small-medium sized).
*Both sets of twin single beds can be pushed together to form a double.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*The home gym is fully air-conditioned.
*There's a study area for those who need to catch up on work during their stay.
*The home is spread over multiple floors with an internal lift.
