Villa lake como Casa al Lago

Casa el Lago is an exquisite holiday home located in the charming village of Rezzonico, nestled on the west bank of Lake Como, just north of Menaggio. This luxurious villa, situated adjacent to the historic Castello Rezzonico, offers guests an unparalleled view of Lake Como, making it the perfect retreat for families and friends seeking peace and relaxation.

The villa itself, a beautifully restored early 20th-century building, underwent a major renovation in 2020. While the property has been updated with modern amenities, it retains its historic charm, featuring original floors that have been meticulously restored to their former glory. With four double bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, and an attic space that comfortably accommodates up to seven children or teenagers, Casa el Lago is designed to provide comfort and convenience for all guests.

The heart of the home is a fully equipped modern kitchen, perfect for culinary enthusiasts. It features a gas stove, oven with microwave, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and a barista coffee machine. Additional amenities include a washing machine and dryer, ensuring that guests have everything they need for a comfortable stay.

The spacious living room, centered around a large oak dining table and a cozy open fireplace, invites you to spend quality time with loved ones. The living area also features a BOSE sound system, allowing you to enjoy music or films from your personal devices, and stable WiFi is available throughout the villa.

Unforgettable Lake Views

The true highlight of Casa el Lago is its stunning outdoor spaces. The large terrace on the lakeshore offers a 270° panoramic view of Lake Como, extending as far as Bellagio, Varenna, Bellano, and Dervio, with the majestic Monte Gringa, Monte Legnone, and the Bergamo Alps as a backdrop. This is the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast in the morning sun, watch the sailboats glide by, or fire up the BBQ in the evening as the lights reflect off the lake. The terrace is also equipped with an electric sun awning to provide shade during the warmer months.

On the first floor, the villa features a charming balcony shaded by vines, where you can relax with a glass of wine while taking in the view of the lake, the manicured grounds, and the historic garden of Castello Rezzonico. The private, multi-level garden by the lake is a serene oasis, adorned with historical natural stone walls, palm trees, and Mediterranean plants. The garden also houses a private pool (7.5 x 3 meters), perfect for a refreshing dip while soaking in the tranquil surroundings.

Charming Village of Rezzonico

Casa el Lago is quietly situated on the edge of the picturesque village of Rezzonico, with its narrow, winding streets and authentic Italian charm. A small path below the terrace leads to a neighboring house and provides easy access to the local amenities. A short 120-meter walk takes you to a small beach, where you can let your children play by the river, enjoy stand-up paddleboarding, or simply bask in the sun.

Just a stone's throw from the villa, you’ll find the delightful Trattoria Pizzeria Dei Platani, perfect for dining, and a traditional Alimentari offering bread, cheese, vegetables, and other local supplies. For those who enjoy staying active, the former narrow street, now closed to vehicles, is ideal for jogging along the lake.

Despite being close to everything you need, Rezzonico remains a hidden gem, away from the more crowded areas of Lake Como. Stroll through the historical streets, sit by the small harbor, and immerse yourself in authentic Italian tradition. For more extensive shopping or activities, the bustling town of Menaggio, with its cafes, restaurants, and boutiques, is less than a 10-minute drive away.

Parking is available in a public parking area about 80 meters from the villa, with the last stretch to the house accessible on foot, ensuring a peaceful and quiet environment.

Enjoy the perfect blend of luxury, history, and natural beauty at Casa el Lago, your private retreat on Lake Como.
