Villa Intelvi, Cerano d'Intelvi, Italy

Soak up heavenly inspiration and escapism, with your very own Lake Como complex!

Enjoying a beautiful, secluded mountainous setting, and just a short drive from the vibrant lake cities, this private villa complex offers the ultimate getaway for large family get-togethers, special occasions and corporate group stays for up to 16.

With its close proximity by car to the tourist hotspots and famous resort towns of Lake Como, the prestigious Villa D’Este and Menaggio & Cadenabbia Golf clubs, the Swiss highlights and services of Lugano and the inviting Italian Alp ski resorts, the setting couldn’t be more suited for guests searching for captivating tranquillity and convenience whilst away!

With its wealth of luxury facilities also on hand for guest’s use, including a private outdoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi room, the setting promises to be exclusive, as well as timeless.

Combining both the style and ambience of Villa Il Castagno (2 bed, 1 bath to sleep 6) and Villa Betulla (4 bed, 3 bath to sleep 10), the private Villa Intelvi complex offers a unique setting for accommodating groups of 16.

With its wealth of exposed beams and character charm, the smaller detached villa (known as Villa Il Castagno) offers an inviting interior in which to relax and socialise. This villa features two stylish living rooms, one to the ground floor and the other to a mansard gallery floor above.

Featuring a high beamed ceiling, ambient fireplace, soft leather sofa suite, an adjoining dining area and direct private garden access outside, the principal living area sets the scene for year-round entertaining!

A music stereo, guitar and book collection are also on hand for guests’ amusement, whilst a spacious games room with table tennis and garden views offers the perfect year-round distraction.

The separate kitchen is fully-equipped for stress-free stays; with all the must-have appliances to hand including an oven, cooker hob, microwave, toaster, coffee machine and kettle. French doors lead from the kitchen directly out to a sunny terrace. Ideal for making the most of the mountainside scenery, guests can enjoy sitting out here with a morning coffee, an evening drink or a relaxed alfresco meal for 6.

The sleeping accommodation ideally suits groups of 6, and comprises a spacious double bedroom with balcony access to the first floor and a large loft-style family room, which is furnished with a single bed, a second single bed with pull out option and two single sofa beds.

Two spacious family bathrooms, each fitted with a bath tub, wash basin, WC and bidet can also be found to this holiday home.

Reached in just a short stroll down the sloping garden, the second holiday home (known as Villa Betulla) effortlessly contrasts in style with the previous; to offer a chic contemporary retreat for groups of 10.

The newly-built villa’s exterior is entirely clad with timber; with floor-to-ceiling glazing and carefully placed windows to make the most of the woodland mountain scenery. Internally, no expense has been spared in making this beautiful home chic, practical and comfortable. Its serene and sleek interior offers an inviting holiday haven in which family and corporate guests can enjoy quality moments together. The retreat benefits from two beautiful reception rooms, with the principal offering a large open plan kitchen diner with sitting area and terrace access; ideal for entertaining.

WIFI access is also on hand to this fabulous room, whilst all the must-have appliances are also to hand for carefree dining and entertaining.

The chic, tranquil interior continues to delight, with a second reception room with floor-to-ceiling picture windows offering a contemporary twist on a traditional garden room. Ideal for daytime relaxing, this beautifully-lit room allows guests to sit back and take in the views, relax with an informal breakfast or reach the sunny terrace outside, for year-round enjoyment.

A second fully-fitted designer kitchen also features within the villa, enabling separate groups, to enjoy an added dose of privacy and independence during their stay in this private complex.

The sleeping accommodation is equally dramatic in style and finish; with scenic woodland views serving as a timeless back drop to all 4 bedrooms.

The sleeping arrangements comprise two double bedrooms (one offers terrace access), a third bedroom with a single pull out bed for 2 (also with terrace access) and a fourth bedroom with double sofa bed. An extra double sofa bed also features to the living room. The layout is completed by 3 contemporary-fitted luxury shower rooms and private laundry facilities.

Surrounding both villas, the private grounds exude exclusive tranquillity; with far reaching mountain views providing a spectacular vista for all seasons. The expansive grounds feature a well-tended sunny lawn ideal for children to play on, a sunny large terrace with BBQ alfresco dining area and a gorgeous private outdoor swimming pool complemented by 6 modern sun loungers.

The fitness room with Jacuzzi bath, exercise bike and sleek shower room can easily be reached from the poolside too; for easy carefree leisure moments.

Private parking also conveniently features onsite. From its exclusive and serene holiday setting, the local amenities of the well-serviced mountain town of San Fedele Intelvi are within easy reach.

The tranquil woodland mountainside setting also offers close proximity to the vibrant, well-connected Lake Como town of Argegno in the east (15 minute drive) and the breath taking lakeshore of Lake Lugano in the west (13 minute drive away).

Ancient Argegno offers the perfect base from which to enjoy the very best of Lake Como. With its charming cafes, authentic restaurants, quaint harbour and dramatic River Telo passing through, timeless Argegno also offers passenger ferry crossings to Como and a main lake road which is serviced by a frequent western shore bus service that operates towards Menaggio (22 minutes) and Como (30 minutes).

The delights of the Central Lake are within a 6 minute drive away from Argegno too; making it the ideal base from which to enjoy day trips to the many famous attractions, including Villa Balbianello and Villa Carlotta. A fabulous selection of family Lidos in Ossuccio, Lenno, Tremezzina and Menaggio and its plethora of authentic lakeside cafes and restaurant offer the ideal daytime indulgence here in the summertime. A treasure trove of picturesque resort towns including Bellagio and Varenna can also easily be reached by taking the ferry from Cadenabbia (16 minute drive from Argegno).

With the wide selection of nearby leisure pursuits including water sports, boat hire, sailing, golf, tennis, hiking, extreme sports and Italian Alp skiing, even the most active guests will be kept amused!
