VILLA DEL SOLE

Villa del Sole

Location and Surrounding Area
Located on the western shore of Lake Como, this magnificent five-bedroom villa is the perfect place for a stylish Italian break by the lake that inspired composers, artists, and poets. The villa is located near the very center of Bellagio. Como, the main city on Lake Como and a great base from which to explore the area and the nearby villages, is located on the Italian-Swiss border, overlooks the southwest end of its lake, and is surrounded by green hills, resulting in unparalleled scenery.

Shaped like an upside-down Y, the lake is littered with villages, including the exquisite Bellagio and Varenna. Where the southern and western shores converge is the lake's main town, Como, an elegant and prosperous Italian city. Among the area's siren calls are extraordinarily sumptuous villas, often graced with paradisiacal gardens. The mountainous terrain means that opportunities for taking bird's-eye views of the lake and its towns are numerous.

Bellagio is located at the top of the so-called Lariano Triangle. Bellagio represents one of the most famous and elegant towns of Lake Como and is extremely well-known for its beautiful villas and gardens, mild climate, and naturalistic-environmental characteristics of great charm. Situated in Varenna and surrounded by a spectacular botanical garden, Villa Monastero is one of the most interesting examples of eclecticism around Lake Como.

The villa is just a stone’s throw from Lenno, nestled 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 just a stone’s throw from 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. The villa is also a few kilometers from Isola Comacina. Once the site of a Roman fort and medieval settlement, Lake Como's only island forms its own little bay with the mainland, just offshore from the town of Ossuccio. They even say the Holy Grail was deposited here for a time.

The villa is also a few kilometers from Menaggio, the most important center on the western coast of Lake Como. Thanks to its central position, Menaggio is the ideal starting point for any type of excursion: by boat, you can access the sumptuous villas of the lake, while on foot or by mountain bike, you can discover the paths of Parco Val Sanagra. Golf lovers can enjoy an exclusive 18-hole course founded in 1907, and those who prefer sports can rent a kayak while enjoying the outstanding views of the surrounding nature.

Villa del Sole is 73 km from Milano Linate Airport and 86 km from Milano Malpensa Airport. The villa is less than 1 km from the center of Bellagio. Tremezzo is 4 km, Villa Carlotta is 4 km, Varenna is 6 km, Menaggio is 7 km, Mezzegra is 7 km, Lenno is 8 km, Villa Balbianello is 9 km, Isola Comacina is 9 km, Ossuccio is 10 km, Argegno is 15 km, and Como is 32 km.
