Lago Sereno is located just three miles from the city of Como, on
one of the most beautiful lakes in Italy. This aristocratic 18th-century villa,
along with another magnificent residence, Villa
Celeste, is located located down a quarter-mile gated road that is guarded
by a quaint gatehouse, on an estate surrounded by seven acres of magnificent gardens
and woods.
During the 19th century, the two residences were restored by
a celebrated dancer who, along with other famous artists and musicians of her
time, was drawn to the beauty and romantic atmosphere of Lake Como. More recently,
the current owners have completely renovated and furnished the villas to offer
the finest of modern living combined with a sense of history and wonderful family
antiques. Across the lake is Villa D'Este, one of the most luxurious hotels in
the world. Depending upon availability, guests at Lago Sereno may request access
to the 18-hole Villa D'Este golf course in Montorfano. On the garden floor
level, there is a frescoed entrance from a courtyard with a lake view. A reading
room with sofa, television, fireplace, and library offers a view of the courtyard.
There are also two bedrooms on this level. Each has its own library, fireplace,
balcony on the lake, and en suite marble bathroom. One has a matrimonial bed;
the other has two twin beds, which may be joined on request. An additional guest
bathroom is located on this level. On the roof floor level, there is a
frescoed cupola with a balcony and three additional bedrooms, all with en suite
marble bathrooms. All three have two single beds (joinable); two offer a lake
view. The frescoed salon and dining room with double fireplace is located
on the lake shore level of the villa and offers access to the lakeshore terrace.
A contemporary kitchen is fully equipped (two dishwashers, two ovens, large refrigerator).
There is also a laundry room and guest bathroom with shower on this level. Lago
