Villa Virginia dates back to the beginning of the century and still belongs to the noble Swiss family that, having come on holiday here, fell in love with this area and decided to build their Italian holiday home. Villa Virginia was carefully restored in 2008.
The owners tastefully furnished and embellished it, retaining many of its original characteristics and balancing them harmoniously with modern comforts: fine tapestries and fabrics, floors made from fine wood with geometric inlays, beautiful artwork, and family period furnishings complement a modern and fully equipped kitchen
The villa overlooks the lake directly and is set in a beautiful garden.
Panoramic swimming pool by the lake!! Parents with kids should be aware that the pool is not fenced off.
On the 70sqm wide terrace opening directly onto the lake, you can enjoy the view and sunbathe in full privacy. Lake access for swimming is also available. From the villa’s private dock, guests can use a rental boat or water-taxis to visit the charming villages of Lake Como, such as Menaggio, Bellagio, and Tremezzo. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance.
As with all lakeshore villas, the lake road is located behind the rental: it is not the main Lake Como Road but a local one. Although all rooms except one face the lake, the windows are provided with triple glazing.
Its location, just a few kilometers from Cernobbio and only 7 km (4.35 miles) from the center of Como, as well as its easy access to public transportation (bus stop at 150 meters) and the pier of the Navigazione dei Laghi ferries (400 meters away), make Villa Virginia an ideal destination for both tourism and business.

Lombardia and The Lakes
Lombardia is located at the very north of Italy and borders with Switzerland and the Alps. Home to the industrial capital city of Milan which is perhaps the biggest centre in the world for fashion with names like Armani, Prada, and Gucci all residing in Milans ‘Golden Quad’. The local people of Milan take great pride in the way they dress and it can often seem they are all on a catwalk as they quickly march through the streets.
Milan is also the finance powerhouse of the country, and is not driven by tourism. The city itself is fast passed, and a great place to visit if you are a serious shopper.
The main attractions in Milan include Il Duomo di Milano, Leonardo Da Vincis last supper, La Scala opera house, and the Castello Sforzesco.

The area of Lake Como is abundant in picturesque towns with narrow cobbled streets, breathtaking views, and lovely homes and gardens, best visited from late spring to early fall. Take a stroll through the city of Como to enjoy its history and architecture, then hop on the ferry and head north to visit other towns on the lakeshore. However, there is more to do in this area than traditional sightseeing. Visitors can book a flight over the lake by seaplane or take the funiculare (hillside trolley) to Brunate and enjoy spectacular views from above. Extreme sports enthusiasts can enjoy paragliding off of Mount Nuvolone. Small and large groups alike can book boat tours with our concierge to enjoy the lake from the water, having fun spotting properties owned by the rich and famous (Donatella Versace, Madonna, and George Clooney, among others). For the more adventurous, Lake Como also offers water-skiing, wind surfing, and wake boarding. Bikers will surely enjoy the natural trails that lead to the mountains or even hidden pebbled beaches. Go for a round of golf or tennis at one of the many locations across the lake region. Lake Como has something for everyone! With fashion-capital Milan just 45 minutes away, it's no wonder that Lake Como also offers excellent designer shopping.
