Casa Dell'Architetto is arranged over two levels, with the ground floor housing a living/dining room with sliding doors that reveal stunning lake views. There is a single convertible sofa bed for use if required. The small but convenient kitchen has a hob and fridge, although we expect you'll want to eat out often given the close proximity of wonderful, family-run restaurants. Additionally there is a laundry room and a furnished outside terrace.
On the lower level, you'll find the bathroom complete with with half-bath and WC. However, the romantics will focus on the twin/double bedroom which enjoys lake views across Lake Como to the villages, islands and mountains beyond. The lower level also provides access to the boathouse and beach.
The two lower floors are reserved for our guests, who can also explore this section of Lake Como at will with the unlimited free use of the owner's rowing boat.
The town of Ossuccio, where there are shops, banks and chemists, is within walking distance, though this is along a main road. A more tranquil walk is to the village of Sala Comacina 300 metres away, along scenic lakeside paths. The beach that fronts the house is for public use, as are all waterfronts in Italy.
The Italian Lakes in the foothills of the Alps are outstandingly beautiful and have been the playground of the rich and famous for centuries.
owns around Lakes Garda and Como have been a destination for holidays since the times when the ancient patrician Romans used to come here for their relaxation. Elite international travellers and writers toured them during the triumph of the “villa civilization” of the 18th and 19th centuries.
There are many fine villas, apartments and houses s with beautiful gardens in this part of Italy. Walking, cycling, swimming, sailing, and relaxing (!) are the most practised activities.
The climate is mild: the lakes act as huge solar panels while the mountains around store the heat and the wind keeps the air fresh. This makes the vegetation luxuriant: the most common plants here are lemon and olive trees, azaleas, camellias, rhododendrons, and other subtropical plants.
These places are very suitable for relaxing holidays from the beginning of March to the end of October
