Villa Camilla, located just five kilometers from Menaggio, is a
distinguished mid 19th century villa with a noble
heritage. This glamorous villa offers spacious private
gardens, a swimming pool, a private tennis court, a private dock and
particularly superb views of the three branches of Lake Como with
striking mountain vistas beyond. Lake Como is renowned for its
luxurious vegetation and its mild climate.
A perfect setting for groups of friends and family, the estate park
contains century-old trees and presents an ambiance of ancient
grandeur. Recently restored, the villa boasts a beautiful
and elegant interior with great care given to the noble heritage and
character of the building. This is particularly evident in
the mosaic floors, remarkable wooden railings connecting the
floors, the impressive statues and the 19th century adornments.

Activities nearby:
Before leaving Como, we recommend taking the
funivia up to Brunate for a truly spectacular view. From Como, going
north along the left shore it's just a short drive to Cernobbio, an old
town features a delightful collection of picturesque houses and narrow
alleys. This is the site of the fictional Villa Balbianello, the
elegant family pensione featured in the film "A Month by the Lake."
Nearby is one of the grandest hotels in all Europe, the Villa D'Este,
whose rooms resemble museum galleries and whose grounds boast Italy's
only "floating swimming pool". Up the road is Toriggia, where you can
visit Villa Passalacqua, a late 18th-century home where Vincenzo
Bellini once stayed. As you travel north you'll see Como's only island,
Isola Comacina (come to see St. John's Day the weekend after June 24th,
which is celebrated with a mass in the ruins of the S. Eufemia basilica
followed by a costumed procession and night-time fireworks).
Lake Como is renowned for its exquisite
villas, the most famous of which is Villa Carlotta, a perfect
combination of luxurious interiors (beautiful stuccos, lovely ceiling
frescoes and a great art collection, including an Eros and Psyche by
Antonio Canova) and luxuriant exteriors (over 500 species of plants,
trees and shrubs from all over the world).
Tremezzo is another lovely lakeside town.
Tremezzo has a classic lakeside promenade, as well as many wonderful
old villas (some of which have been converted to hotels), and it's from
here you can take a car ferry over to Bellaggio and Varenna, on the
opposite shore.
On the southern shore is Bellaggio, la perla
del lago (the pearl of the lake), considered by many to be the most
beautiful town in all of Europe. Its narrow cobbled streets,
breathtaking views, impeccable homes and glorious villas make it a most
enchanting spot to spend your own unforgettable "Month by the Lake.”
