Casa Della Seta | 9-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Como Moltrasio

Sixteen guests across four floors. A private dock where boats arrive. Lake Como spreading south as far as the eye travels. Casa Della Seta sits on the water’s edge between Rovenna and Moltrasio, a restored palazzo where the architecture whispers Swiss heritage and Italian light pours through tall windows onto antique furnishings that feel lived-in, not staged. This is the kind of luxury villa rental in Como where someone always wants to cook dinner, the wine cellar actually gets used, and no one wants to leave.

Inside Casa Della Seta

Casa Della Seta sleeps 16 guests across 9 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms distributed across four thoughtfully arranged floors. Ground level anchors the property with an expansive double living room that opens directly onto the garden—one end houses contemporary seating and a Smart TV, the other a formal sitting area centered on a working fireplace. This is where light enters from the lake. The dining table seats eight comfortably. Two kitchens serve different purposes: the main kitchen runs the full length of one wall with a five-burner stove, dual ovens, ice-maker equipped fridge freezer, dishwasher, and coffee station—the secondary kitchen, positioned near outdoor dining, includes a barbecue for warm evenings. A guest bathroom and entrance hall complete the ground level.

The first floor contains four generously proportioned bedrooms with queen-sized beds, each with an en-suite bathroom. One studio room with a single bed is available on request. Two full bathrooms serve the floor—one features a jacuzzi bathtub, the other a shower configuration. A third bathroom completes the layout. Lake views penetrate every room on this level.

Ascending to the second floor reveals a bedroom with a king-sized bed, single bed, and integrated television, alongside three further bedrooms configured with twin beds. Two bathrooms service this level: one with jacuzzi bath, shower, sink and WC; the other shower-based. This floor catches the afternoon light across the water.

The basement holds a wine cellar (wines available at additional cost), laundry facilities with washing machine and dryer, and fitness equipment for guests who want to maintain routines during their stay.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The lakefront garden wraps around the property like a private sanctuary. A 10-metre by 4-metre heated swimming pool (1.5 metres deep) operates from May through October, temperature managed by heat pump and influenced by seasonal conditions. Sun loungers cluster poolside for afternoon reading and wine. The jacuzzi sits separately, positioned to capture sunset views across the water. Dining happens in multiple configurations: a covered summer kitchen with built-in barbecue, an outdoor dining area, and various seating terraces scattered through the garden. A ping-pong table offers activity on rain-threatened afternoons. Parking accommodates multiple vehicles. Most critically: direct private access to the lake and a personal boat dock allow guests to keep a rental boat moored or arrange water taxi service to Bellagio, Menaggio, and Tremezzo without leaving the property.

Location: Como and the Surrounding Area

Lake Como stretches across the Lombardy region of northern Italy, and Casa Della Seta occupies one of its most strategically positioned addresses—close enough to village life to reach cafés and markets in minutes, far enough back to maintain complete privacy. The villa sits 2 kilometres from Moltrasio, a village that has changed little in generations: narrow streets with painted shutters, small grocers, and waterfront restaurants where local diners outnumber tourists. Rovenna lies 6 kilometres north—a historic town centred on medieval churches and a working market where fresh produce and local cheeses trade hands daily. Lido di Cernobbio, 3 kilometres distant, functions as the region’s primary beach club and swimming venue, with an expansive pool overlooking the water and a restaurant-bar combination popular with Como residents year-round.

Water access defines the Como experience. From the private dock at Casa Della Seta, guests board water taxis or rental boats to reach Bellagio (approximately 4 kilometres by water), celebrated as the “Pearl of Lake Como” for its pastel architecture and position at the lake’s widest point. Villa Melzi’s gardens, accessible from Bellagio’s waterfront, showcase centuries of landscaping across terraced grounds. Tremezzo, 5 kilometres south by water, hosts Villa Carlotta—a neoclassical mansion surrounded by botanical gardens that display camellias, azaleas, and specimen palms. Menaggio, another 3 kilometres south, functions as Lake Como’s principal sailing hub and appeals to guests interested in water sports beyond swimming. The entire lake measures 46 kilometres north to south; Como city itself sits at the southern terminus, approximately 18 kilometres by road from the villa, and contains museums, the cathedral, and the ferry terminal.

Seasonal rhythms govern Como’s appeal. May through September offers stable weather, warm water temperatures (18-22°C by July-August), and open terraces at every restaurant. June and September provide ideal conditions—warm without excessive heat. April and October bring crisp mornings and golden afternoon light but require sweaters after sunset. December through February turns grey and cool, though crowds disappear entirely. Explore our luxury villas in Como and our full collection in Italy for additional options.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Casa Della Seta accommodates multi-generational family groups of 12-16 people comfortably. A single grandparent bedroom with both king and single beds allows flexibility; parents occupy queen rooms; teenagers and younger adults choose twin configurations. Four full bathrooms prevent morning bottlenecks. The layout allows groups to gather in the double living room or separate into smaller clusters on different terraces—essential for groups larger than eight where privacy matters.

Couples seeking a lakeside base with space for visiting friends or adult children find this villa appropriate. The wine cellar and cook-available service appeal to food-focused groups. Active groups valuing water sports benefit from the dock and proximity to sailing at Menaggio. Families with children aged 5-14 appreciate the pool, ping-pong table, and shallow gardens without cliff access. Groups unfamiliar with Italian driving prefer the villa’s lakeside positioning and access to water taxis eliminating the need for cars.
