VILLA DELLA VETTA

Overlooking Lake Como and occupying the site of a former medieval watchtower, Villa della Vetta commands one of the finest views in all of Europe. This liberty-style villa, built in 1909, has been beautifully restored to exceptional standards, offering seven double bedrooms, a lift, an elegant drawing room, an additional living room, an attractive dining room, a modern kitchen, a study, a media room, a bar, two roof terraces, a yoga and wellness room, and a pool house and entertainment area.

Set within 4.5 acres of private gardens, 881 metres above Lake Como, this luxury villa offers a true oasis of calm. Yet the pretty mountain village of Pigra — an excellent base for hiking and mountain biking — is just 300 metres away, while the popular lakeside village of Argegno is easily reached via the cable car station, located just 500 metres from the villa gates.

The views over Lake Como from Villa della Vetta are truly stunning, combining wide, blue lake vistas with the surrounding green mountain landscape. Glorious golden sunsets can be enjoyed from the balcony outside every bedroom, along with the wraparound terrace and the extraordinary pool house. At the very top of the house, the rooftop terraces, bar, entertainment space, and yoga area all offer spectacular views over both the lake and the surrounding countryside.

Guests can enjoy alfresco dining beneath a pergola on the huge lakefront terrace, or relax in the heated infinity pool and Jacuzzi. The well-appointed pool house features full-length, fold-away windows, along with a kitchen, island bar, and comfortable seating area. A large yoga studio and gym have been carved directly into the rock face, complete with toilet, steam room, and shower, while an outdoor children’s play area features a trampoline and zip line.

The bedroom suites at Villa della Vetta are designed in a contemporary style, in keeping with the villa’s elegant character throughout. Every bedroom includes its own balcony, offering views over either Lake Como or the surrounding mountains, with a lift connecting the three main floors, the tower room, and the basement.
