Luxury Villa on Lake Como with Tennis Court and Pool

About The Experience

This Lake Como villa is the perfect venue for weddings, family reunions, or large group gatherings: each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom, and all beds can be made up as one queen or two twins. A large lawn area, tennis court, and private swimming pool mean that this Italian lake villa for rent has plenty of room for outdoor relaxation and recreation. Not only that, but a professional-grade kitchen provides all your group needs for a cooking class or your own personal chef. And with a great central location near Menaggio, this villa on Lake Como is also a wonderful stepping-off point for your explorations.

Location Description

This villa is located about a 10 minute drive from the lake shore village of Menaggio. Once a walled city, some of the remnants are still visible today. In the summer, Menaggio is a popular recreation area, with opportunities for windsurfing, water skiing, and other water-based activities. You could also rent a bicycle and explore the area or take a walk down the lakeside promenade, lined with flowers. Because of its central location, Menaggio is a great base for exploring the rest of the area. Drive down the lakeshore road to Tremezzo and Como, or hop on a ferry to visit Varenna or Bellagio. Known as "la perla del lago" (the pearl of the lake), Bellagio is considered by many to be the most beautiful town in Europe. Its narrow cobbled streets, breathtaking views, impeccable homes and glorious villas make it a most enchanting spot to explore. Como, located at the southernmost tip of the lake which bears its name, is perfect for a day's outing. Sights in Como include the Duomo, the austere church of San Abbondio, the Piazza S. Fedele (with many 400-year-old buildings), and the Basilica, one of the masterpieces of the maestri comacini (Como masters). Before leaving, be sure to take the funicular up to Brunate-- a small village with a spectacular view. While on Lake Como, you'll discover that the cuisine is based primarily on fish. Specialties include misultitt (fish desiccated in containers called misolte) and soused fish (fried and then pickled), along with more traditional dishes like rice with perch or smoked trout.

Nearby Attractions: Menaggio (windsurfing, water skiing, biking), Tremezzo, Varenna, Bellagio (cobbled streets, breathtaking views), Como (Duomo, church of San Abbondio, Piazza S. Fedele, the Basilica), Brunate (funicular from Como).
