Overview
Situated in one of the most popular and picturesque towns on Lake Como is Villa Le Camelie, a spacious and luxurious holiday home with stunning views. Being close to the heart of Menaggio means being surrounded by nature and tranquillity, as well as mountains that offer dramatic hiking trails.
Villa Le Camelie occupies an elevated position overlooking Lake Como and the lush landscapes that make this such an idyllic spot. Many of the villa’s beautifully-furnished rooms offer spectacular views, with a choice of outside spaces to get even closer to the scenery. A separate guest house offers additional and very comfortable accommodation.
The main villa is set over three floors, with the lower-ground floor being dedicated to leisure and relaxation. Enjoy film nights in the cinema room, with a bar and wine cellar also on offer. A lift takes you up to the ground floor, which is where you’ll find the bright, spacious living room with an open fireplace and lake views. A fully-equipped, professional kitchen is next to the wonderful dining space that features a table crafted by a famous Lake Como boat builder. Also on the ground floor are three double bedrooms that share a luxurious family bathroom, as well as access to a large terrace.
On the first floor are another two double bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms. The master bedroom is a particularly lovely space, with almost panoramic views over the lake from both inside and the private terrace it enjoys. The second bedroom has its own balcony from which to take in the views. A short distance from the villa is a self-contained guest house that boasts a cosy living/dining room, kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom.
The main patio is home to a private swimming pool with incredible views over Lake Como. There’s also a fantastic pool house with fitness room, sauna, steam bath, circular video-play room, living space and kitchen. Under a wisteria-covered pergola is a huge table that can seat up to 20 people for lively al fresco meals. Also within the grounds of the villa are gardens with immaculate lawns and a range of trees, plants and flowers. These lush areas are the perfect spots to soak up the idyllic atmosphere and views.
Activities on Lake Como and in the town of Menaggio are minutes away. Take boat trips along the lake to fully appreciate this naturally beautiful area and its peaceful feel. You can also visit other lakeside towns such as Bellagio.
Menaggio’s promenade is a great place for leisurely strolls and is lined with bars, pizzerias and ice cream parlours. The nearby mountains give you the chance to strap on your hiking boots and follow exciting, scenic trails.
