Villa Bianca resides in the lovely hamlet of Vassena that extends along a mile of prime Lake Como shoreline. All of the area’s must-see sights are within easy reach, whether you cruise on the lake, drive the distance or hike the nearby Triangolo Lariano trails, and beloved Bellagio with its elegant shopping and lakeside promenade is only 4 miles up the lake road. The owner fell in love with the property on sight and set about restoring this early 20th century villa to make the most of the breathtaking views from the park, the pool and the house. Outside, guests will find a well-landscaped park, complete with a romantic gazebo, an outdoor pool and an al fresco seating area under a vine-covered pergola. Inside, the villa exhibits clean, modern design, with large windows and French doors to let in the sunlight and frame those lake views.

The accommodations are spread across 3 floors, with a vast open plan living and dining space on the ground floor, along with a state-of-the-art kitchen, a regulation-sized billiards table and a large-screen satellite TV. The second floor has 2 twin and 3 double rooms, some with private terraces, while the third-floor penthouse apartment (booked either with the villa or separately) has its own living and dining area, a fully-equipped kitchen, a double and a twin bedroom, a large bathroom and a private roof terrace.

And if you are looking to host an elegant lakeside event, to hire a personal chef or to experience the area’s best guides, private boat tours and family-friendly adventures, the destination specialists at IC Bellagio are just a phone call away.
