Property 29722748544 - Pognana Lario - Lake Como

7 Bedrooms - Heated Pool

Location and Surrounding Area. Located on the western shore of Lake Como, just a short drive from the center of Como, this magnificent property is the perfect place for a stylish Italian break by the lake that inspired composers, artists, and poets. Property 29722748544 is less than thirty minutes from Como and Bellagio, making it the perfect base for exploring the wonders of Lake Como and its region. Located on the Italian-Swiss border, Como overlooks the southwest end of its lake and is surrounded by green hills, resulting in unparalleled scenery.

Shaped like an upside-down Y, the lake is littered with villages, including exquisite Bellagio and Varenna. Where the southern and western shores converge is the lake's main town, Como, an elegant, prosperous Italian city. Among the area's siren calls are extraordinarily sumptuous villas, often graced with paradisiacal gardens. The mountainous terrain means that opportunities for taking bird's-eye views of the lake and its towns are numerous.

The villa is just a stone’s throw from Bellagio. Bellagio is located at the top of the so-called Lariano Triangle. Bellagio represents one of the most famous and elegant towns of Lake Como, and is extremely well-known for its beautiful villas and gardens, mild climate, and naturalistic-environmental characteristics of great charm. Situated in Varenna and surrounded by a spectacular botanical garden, Villa Monastero is one of the most interesting examples of Eclecticism around Lake Como.

Take a boat to Tremezzo, one of the most romantic places on the Lake Como, and visit Villa Carlotta. Built at the close of the 17th century, Villa Carlotta was enriched by valuable works of art, including incredible sculptures by Antonio Canova, still on display inside the villa. But the main attraction is its luxuriant garden by the calm waters of Lake Como, which is divided into two parts, an Italian garden designed in the 18th century and an English one laid out by princess Carlotta herself.

The villa is also a few kilometers from Menaggio, the most important center of the western coast of Lake Como. Thanks to its central position, Menaggio is the ideal starting point for any type of excursion: by boat, you can access the sumptuous villas of the lake, while on foot or by mountain bike you can discover the paths of Parco Val Sanagra. Golf lovers can enjoy an exclusive 18-hole course founded in 1907, and those who prefer sports can rent a kayak while enjoying the outstanding views of the surrounding nature.

Two SUP boards are available next to the private outdoor stairway that gives direct lake access to guests. E-MTBs are available at street level, which is the departure and arrival point for E-MTB tours.

A lakeside dining table located on a spacious terrace is ideal for al fresco breakfasts with a view or evening meals as the sun sets behind the mountains on the opposite side of the lake. Guests can also enjoy a private movie night in the elegant 22-seater cinema: it offers heating for year-round use and features a distinctive exposed rock wall made of genuine Moltrasio stone.
