Villa Vista Lago sits on the hillside of a 60-acre estate which also includes two other houses and a castle. It offers one of the most beautiful views of
Lake Como, including the three branches of the lake, the beautiful surrounding
landscape, and Bellagio. There is a charming, small restaurant located within walking distance (30 meters) of the villa, while other restaurants, shops, ferry and railroad station are located in Varenna, just ten minutes away by car. Connections to Menaggio
and Bellagio are via ferry. (There is a golf course in Menaggio; fifteen minutes
by ferry and then ten minutes by car.) The railroad station in Varenna connects
to Milan in one hour.
On the grounds is a large private garden planted
with roses and olive trees, a lovely shared pool, a game room (15 meters from
the villa) with ping pong and card tables, and a clay tennis court (500 meters
from the villa), which is managed by a local club.
Enter the villa through a patio/pergola,
which has lovely views and is furnished for al fresco dining. On the ground floor
is a living room with satellite TV and kitchen with dining area.
Upstairs are
three bedrooms and a study. One is a double bedroom, two are twin bedrooms, and the third bedroom is a single (this room has no door
and opens directly onto the hall). There are two bathrooms with tubs.
Large windows overlooking the garden make for a bright and airy interior.
Because all of the bedrooms and bathrooms are located on the second floor, and the pool is 100 meters from the house and is accessed by a garden path with about 15 steps, the Villa Vista Lago is not suitable for anyone with a walking problem.
Guests can also choose to rent the top floor where there are two "mansards,"
each sleeping four. Each has a small living room, a kitchenette with dining table,
two bedrooms (one with French bed/one with two single beds) and a bathroom. The
housekeeper's family lives in an independent apartment in the basement of the
property, and the owner's family, when in residence, lives in a section at the
back of the house.
Villa Vista Lago is located on the same estate as Vista Bellagio.
