Lakeside Bliss

Lakeside Bliss: Lombardy

This lakeside villa in Argegno, a sleepy town near the Swiss border, is the stuff that dreams are made of. Stylish and perfectly located, it's the ideal spot for a group of friends or family who are ready to fall in love with the stunning Como landscapes.

Step inside, and you'll find a serene space that will help you settle in within no time at all. The sage green sofas, sleek breakfast bar, and home office provide plenty of places to work or relax, depending on your plans for the day. Huge windows flood the rooms with natural light and frame the fantastic views of the lake. Slide open the patio doors and head out to the patio, where you can breathe in the fresh mountain air as you admire the stunning vistas across the water. There's even a Jacuzzi to soak in, and an alfresco dining area for long, lavish meals – and your host will provide a chilled bottle of Prosecco.

If you want to take a boat trip, then the marina is just a five-minute walk away from your front door, and you'll also find an outdoor lakeside swimming pool where you can take a dip. Hikers can join one of the local trails for an invigorating hike through the incredible scenery, and when you get hungry you can take your pick from the traditional Italian restaurants back in Argegno.
