This beautiful Lake Como Villa dates back to the beginning of the
century and still belongs to the Swiss family that built this as their
holiday home after falling in love with the region during an Italian
vacation. It was carefully restored and updated in 2008. The
owners tastefully furnished and embellished it, while striving to
retain many of its original characteristics and balancing them
harmoniously with modern comforts. The restored villa includes
classical tapestries and fabrics, floors made from fine wood with
geometric inlays, beautiful painting on the walls, family period
furnishings, a modern and fully equipped kitchen, WiFi internet
connection, and a Plasma TV with satellite reception.
Villa Virginia can also be rented for a larger group of 16 - 17
guests. Please see

The property is situated in a peaceful and beautiful, yet convenient
location. The villa looks directly onto Lake Como and has a
lovely private garden and boat dock. Its location, a few
kilometers from Cernobbio and only 7 km from the center of Como
makes Villa Virginia an ideal destination for both tourism and
business. Public transportation is also easily accessible from the
villa as there is a bus stop 150 meters away and the Navigazione dei
Laghi ferry is 400 meters away.
