This beautiful Lake Como Villa dates back to the beginning of the
century and still belongs to the Swiss family that built this as their
holiday home after falling in love with the region during an Italian
vacation. It was carefully restored and updated in 2008. The
owners tastefully furnished and embellished it, while striving to
retain many of its original characteristics and balancing them
harmoniously with modern comforts. The restored villa includes
classical tapestries and fabrics, floors made from fine wood with
geometric inlays, beautiful painting on the walls, family period
furnishings, a modern and fully equipped kitchen, WiFi internet
connection, and a Plasma TV with satellite reception.
The property is situated in a peaceful and beautiful,
yet convenient
location. The villa looks directly onto Lake Como and has a
lovely private garden and boat dock. Its location, a few
kilometers from Cernobbio and only 7 km from the center of Como
makes Villa Virginia an ideal destination for both tourism and
business. Public transportation is also easily accessible from the
villa as there is a bus stop 150 meters away and the Navigazione dei
Laghi ferry is 400 meters away.
From Villa Virginia’s 70 square meter terrace guests will enjoy a full
view of the lake and can sunbathe or dine al fresco in complete
privacy. Lake access for swimming is also available. For
your enjoyment, there also a heated Jacuzzi spa in the garden, with a
panoramic view of the lake. From the villa's private dock, guests
can use a rental boat or water-taxis to visit the charming villages of
Lake Como, Menaggio Bellagio, and Tremezzo. A variety of
restaurants and shops are at walking distance.
As with all the lakeshore villas the lake road is located behind the
property. Please note that this is not the main Lake Como road,
but a smaller local road. Rooms that do not face the lake
are provided with triple glasses to ensure that guests enjoy a quiet
and peaceful ambiance.
Bedrooms are located on the upper levels of the villa. For guests with
walking difficulties, it is possible to place a single bed on the
ground floor in the living room area. Please inquire about this when

is not wheel chair accessible. Guests with walking difficulties should
