A lakeside retreat with stunning views, spacious interiors, and a private pool.

As close to a perfect week as possible. Evening thunderstorms were an unexpected bonus. We rarely repeat a vacation but we will likely do this again.

Villa Ferrara sits directly on the shores of Lake Como within a charming village setting and offers unspoilt views over the water. A pebble beach is just moments from the doorstep, with the village centre a short walk away. The soaring mountains in the distance are the perfect backdrop to this peaceful lakeside retreat.

The stylish villa sleeps up to 14 people, with seven bedrooms and a spacious interior, making it ideal for larger groups. The open-plan living area has been specifically designed for special gatherings. Enjoy meals under delicate chandelier light at the dining table large enough to comfortably seat everyone. Then, retreat to the small sitting room with its cosy, relaxed feel.

Contemporary style meets classic heritage throughout Villa Ferrara, from the Lombardy terracotta floor tiles found on the ground floor to the chestnut-wood floors upstairs. Earthy colours and natural materials perfectly complement the villa's high-quality, modern finish. This is especially the case with the six double bedrooms, as each is wonderfully spacious and boasts an ensuite bathroom. Some also have their own terrace for soaking up the magical lake and mountain views.

Take a dip in the private swimming pool, with the beach and lake just a stone's throw away. Enjoy the idyllic nature of the gardens as you sit back with your favourite drink and watch boats gliding over the tranquil waters.

Picturesque Lake Como is popular for activities such as swimming, waterskiing, sailing, and windsurfing. The public pebble beach is just minutes away, and you can take in the views and laid-back atmosphere in mere minutes. There's also an interesting boat museum to explore nearby.

Plenty of lakeside towns and villages are easy to reach from Villa Ferrara, with some of the closest including Santa Maria Rezzonico, Menaggio and Tremezzo. Beautiful villas, botanical gardens and historic buildings all await, with stunning natural landscapes and boat trips along Lake Como all on offer.
