Villa Camilla, located just five kilometers from Menaggio, is a distinguished mid 19th century villa with
a noble heritage. Once occupied by the Marquis of Rozzano and
still owned by his descendants, this glamorous villa offers
spacious private gardens, a swimming pool, a private tennis court, a private
dock
and particularly superb views of the three branches of Lake Como
with striking mountain vistas beyond. Lake Como is renowned for its
luxurious vegetation and its mild climate.

Activities nearby:
Before leaving Como, we recommend taking the funivia up to Brunate
for a truly spectacular view. From Como, going north along the left shore it's just a short drive
to Cernobbio, an old town features a delightful collection of picturesque houses
and narrow alleys. This is the site of the fictional Villa Balbianello, the
elegant family pensione featured in the film "A Month by the Lake." Nearby is
one of the grandest hotels in all Europe, the Villa D'Este, whose rooms resemble
museum galleries and whose grounds boast Italy's only "floating swimming pool".
Up the road is Toriggia, where you can visit Villa Passalacqua, a late
18th-century home where Vincenzo Bellini once stayed. As you travel north you'll
see Como's only island, Isola Comacina (come to see St. John's Day the weekend
after June 24th, which is celebrated with a mass in the ruins of the
S. Eufemia basilica followed by a costumed procession and night-time fireworks).
Lake Como is renowned for its exquisite villas, the most famous of
which is Villa Carlotta, a perfect combination of luxurious interiors (beautiful
stuccos, lovely ceiling frescoes and a great art collection, including an Eros
and Psyche by Antonio Canova) and luxuriant exteriors (over 500 species of
plants, trees and shrubs from all over the world).
Tremezzo is another lovely lakeside town. Tremezzo has a classic
lakeside promenade, as well as many wonderful old villas (some of which have
been converted to hotels), and it's from here you can take a car ferry over to
Bellaggio and Varenna, on the opposite shore.
On the southern shore is Bellaggio, la perla del lago (the pearl of
the lake), considered by many to be the most beautiful town in all of Europe.
Its narrow cobbled streets, breathtaking views, impeccable homes and glorious
villas make it a most enchanting spot to spend your own unforgettable "Month by
the Lake.”
