Villa La Rotonda Sul Lago

Location and Surrounding Area

Located on the western shores of Lake Como, in the quiet village of Pianello del Lario, this elegant eight-bedroom villa is the perfect retreat for a relaxing Italian break by the lake that has inspired poets and artists for centuries. These days the fabulous villas for which the lake is famous are popular with celebrities. Explore the pretty lakeside towns or pull on hiking boots and climb up to castles, mount a horse or grab a mountain bike, and then cool down in the shady garden of one of the villas.

Take a boat to Tremezzo, one of the most romantic places on the Lake Como, home to 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 Bellagio, a picturesque lakeside town surrounded by forested hills. Take a stroll around the steep, narrow lanes of this pretty village and enjoy an evening drink in this celebrated holiday destination. The villa is also a few kilometers from Lenno, nestling by a little bay in the lake. Do not miss the view of the lake from the balcony of the grand Villa Balbianello, take a walk around its magnificent 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. The villa is also a few kilometers from Isola Comacina, the only island on the lake that can be reached by a boat trip, which is a must when visiting Lake Como. The ferry to the island leaves from Scala Comacina.
