Property 120

Location and Surrounding Area

Located in the picturesque village of Limonta, on the southeastern shore of Lake Como, this elegant eight-bedroom villa is the perfect place for a stylish Italian break by the lake that inspired composers, artists and poets. Property 120 is just a stone’s throw away from Bellagio, a picturesque lakeside town surrounded by forested hills. Take a stroll around the cobbled streets of this pretty town and enjoy an evening drink in this celebrated holiday destination.

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 just a stone’s throw away from Lenno, nestling by a little bay in the lake. The village boasts a beautiful 11th-century church, restored in the 16th century, with a baptistery nearby. From here, head for the grand Villa Balbianello. Do not miss the view of the lake from the balcony and allow a few hours to explore the rooms, in particular the Expeditions Museum, which has memorabilia from Guido Monzino’s travels. Take a walk around the gardens and enjoy the wonderful views from the trails.

The villa is a few kilometers from Argegno, a small village overlooking Lake Como in the area of its major depth. After walking along the characteristic and narrow streets of the old town, do not miss the chance to take in the beautiful surroundings. Property 120 is also a few kilometers from Menaggio, a picturesque town of ancient origins loved by tourists for its elegant promenade and its proximity to very popular towns such as Bellagio and Varenna.
