Rising above the mesmerising blue-green waters of Lake Como there is a fairytale villa complete with a cantilevered veranda, its lace-like ironwork wrapping around the house on three sides. Smaller in scale than some of the grander Palladian villas that hug the shores of the lake, it is nonetheless magical and delicately proportioned.
From a lush wooded backdrop, manicured garden terraces reach down to the lake where you can moor your boat on the private jetty.
Take your breakfast on the veranda with its breathtaking views, host intimate dinners in the coral-coloured dining room or take your guests for a boat ride on the sparkling waters. This truly is a tiny slice of Italian paradise… —Louise
