Designed in the middle of the twentieth century as a holiday retreat
for a very important Milanese family, Vista Colico sits on a gated
sloped land of 30,000 sqm (7.4 acres) enjoying the magnificent view of
the blue lake with the mountains beyond. The view, the light and
the strong relationship between the interiors and nature are the main
features of this dream villa.
Located on Lake Como's northeast shore, Vista Colico, with its glass
panes and panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, is designed
following the ideas of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s modernist
architecture style.
As you walk in, you are greeted by the breathtaking lake view that can
be seen from every room in the villa. The house focuses on
entertainment with a large living and dining area that leads onto the
outside panoramic terrace--the perfect setting for outdoor dining and
sundowners. This is the ideal villa for those looking for
something really special.
Less is More: Vista Colico is a work of art with wood panelled
ceilings, stone floors, clean lines, pure use of colour, and the
extension of space around and beyond the interiors. All glass
enclosures enclosing the house allow nature and light to envelop the
interior space.
NOTE: all the double beds measure 160 x 195 cm, and the singles measure
80 x 195 cm.
The home's decor boasts finest pieces of design furniture, outdoors
there are large terraces and relaxing areas, table football, table
tennis.
The hot tub and the pool are at the top of the plot so you relax in the
water looking over the blue lake. In the garden there are also
orchards, a secular birch tree, aromatic herbs. There is also an
outdoor dining area with BBQ and beer fridge, as well as a breakfast
area. The land follows a path to the lake with cypresses and broadleaf
forest. From the garden the steep path leads to the lake, about
10 - 15 minutes walking. This path is not suitable for people with
walking difficulties.

leads to the abbey, which can be reached by car in 10 minutes and on

Colico and Como by ferry takes about 90 minutes.
