Set on the shore of Lake Como, between the famous Villa d'Este hotel in Cernobbio and George Clooney's residence in Laglio, this historical villa offers lake access, a private mooring, and easy access to a village. The convenient location, just a few kilometers from Cernobbio and 7 km (4.4 mi) from the center of Como, and easy access to public transportation (bus stop is 165 yds from the villa; ferry pier is 440 yds) makes Villa Beatrice an ideal destination for touring Lake Como. From the private dock, use a rental boat or water-taxis to visit the Villa d'Este as well as Menaggio, Bellagio, Tremezzo and the other charming villages of Lake Como. Shops and restaurants are within walking distance. An 18-hole golf course is less than two miles away.
A panoramic terrace overlooks the lake, with stunning views and privacy for sunbathing. Lake access for swimming is also available. The lake road runs behind the villa and is a smaller road with no trucks. All of the bedrooms, living room and dining room face the lake, minimizing any noise.
The villa's interiors are elegant and comfortable, featuring original marble mosaic flooring, high ceilings and lovely Murano glass chandeliers.
