Villa Cigno Italy
Holiday Home Rental Description
Villa Cigno is composed of two prestigious luxury villas located in a spectacular position directly on the waterfront of the famous Lake Como. The property is surrounded by a beautiful Italian-style garden (2000 sqm) and is close to the beautiful beach.
The villa sleeps 12 guests with ample space. The friendly, unobtrusive caretaker is very happy to help arrange tours, wine tasting, and restaurant bookings. The caretaker can also provide luxury services in the house, such as catering, cookery lessons and spa treatments.
This property really is perfect for groups of friends or families who want to relax in luxury accommodation while having easy access to great restaurants, bars, traditional Italian towns and a variety of outdoor pursuits. With its perfect location close to the famous town of Bellagio, this property also offers a central point for touring Northern Italy, Como, Cernobbio, Milan as well as Switzerland.The area around Lake Como is one of outstanding beauty. Stretching from the Swiss Alps to the Grigne and Legnone ranges, Lake Como is guarded by spectacular mountain landscapes. Pastel-coloured villages perch along the shorelines and trail up the steep sides. In this part of Italy, there are the simplest rural dwellings as well as the palatial villas of the 18th century.
A walk around one of these central lake villages, up a cobbled avenue or across a church square, will convince visitors to pause for a moment on a sunny bench, to stop for an aperitivo at a sidewalk café or pop into a gelateria for homemade ice cream.
Whether exploring the lake by foot, car or boat, it should be a leisurely experience. Choose from one of the numerous activities the area offers, or simply enjoy the comfort of the splendid private villa.
Villa Cingo is also just 90 minutes from Malpensa International Airport and is well connected to cities such as Milan and Bergamo. The lake’s vicinity to Milan has, for centuries, made it a popular refuge from city life, with many Milanese families constructing summer houses on the shores. A number of the gardens and interiors can now be visited.
Milan itself opens up an array of possibilities. Visit Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper, the Duomo or stroll down the famous shopping street of Via Montenapoleone.
Guests also have the possibility to explore some of northern Italy’s other lakes, such as Lake Maggiore in Piedmont to the west or even a day trip into Switzerland. For the cultural enthusiasts, the historical city of Turin in Piedmont is well within reach, as are Venice and Verona heading east.
