Villa San Rocco
Europe / Italy / The Lakes
Dramatically set almost 900 meters high above the lake on a plot formerly occupied by a watchtower, Villa San Rocco is a magnificent example of Liberty-style architecture transformed into a luxury, fully catered, lake residence boasting a breathtaking vista over the Pre-Alps and Lake Como which guests can leisurely explore in the villa's own boat.
Overview
This exceptionally elegant property benefits from 1,230 m2 of living space which encompasses: 8 double bedrooms (6 en suite), drawing room, living room, dining room, kitchen, study, media room and pool house. Furthermore, a yoga/ fitness room has been skillfully carved out from the cliff and face the roof top terraces, bar and entertainment area. The pretty perched mountain village of Pigra is only 300 metres away and the popular lakeside village of Argegno can be reached within 4 minutes from the cable car station located 500 metres from the villa gates. Pigra has two restaurants and is a perfect base for hiking and mountain biking, whilst Argegno provides a wider choice of restaurants, the villa’s own private boat mooring and a scheduled river taxi service, ideal for exploring all that Lake Como has to offer.
