Villa Peduzzi, Lake Como, Lombardy, Italy Vacation Rental

Villa Peduzzi is an 8-bedroom contemporary-style luxury vacation rental overlooking Lake Como in Lombardy, Italy. Occupying the site of a former medieval watchtower, Villa Peduzzi commands one of the finest views in Europe. The liberty style villa, built in 1909, has been fully restored to exceptional standards, offering 1,231 m² of living space. This includes; 8 double bedrooms (7 bathrooms); drawing room; living room; dining room; kitchen; study; media room, bar; 2 roof terraces, yoga/wellness room; pool house and entertainment area. At 881 metres above the lake and with no immediate neighbours, the villa is an oasis of calm. Yet 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 a couple of restaurants and is a perfect base for hiking and mountain biking. Argegno provides a wide range of restaurants, our own private boat mooring and a scheduled river taxi service, ideal for exploring all that Lago di Como has to offer. The views from south facing Villa Peduzzi are truly stunning – a combination of wide blue lake and green mountain vistas, rounded off with glorious golden sunsets. These can be enjoyed from the balconies off every bedroom, the villa’s main surround terrace and the extraordinary pool house with its green roof and infinity pool. Also making the most of this aspect are an exceptional yoga/wellness room that has been carved out of the cliff face and the roof top terraces, bar and entertainment area.

The villa sits in lush gardens of 4.5 acres offering the peace and tranquillity that is so difficult to find on Lake Como. Villa Peduzzi is located just a 75 minute drive from Milan Malpensa International Airport and 60 minutes from Lugano International Airport. The villa comfortably sleeps 16 people although additional children’s beds are also available. All the bedroom suites are designed in a contemporary and stylish manner in keeping with the villa’s elegant features. An elevator links the 3 main floors and the caretaker’s apartment and laundry in the basement.

1st Floor contains 3 double bedrooms, the Tuscany Suite faces the lake and is joined to the East facing Veneto Suite by a large shared bathroom. Both suites have balconies enjoying lake views. The West facing Liguria Suite also has a balcony to enjoy the mountain views and the sunsets. The large bathroom is a lovely space to unwind before dinner.
