Lake Como Villa, Laglio

Find this villa on google maps. 

This beautiful villa with a pool is located on the shore of Lake Como in the scenic village of Laglio, 15 minutes from Como town.  

Laglio is one of a string of villages built on the Roman road framed on one side by the sheer sides of the green mountains and the lake on the other.  Laglio has a number of fine villas built for the Milanese as their summer retreats and today is also associated with George Clooney who has a house there.

Local Area

Its calm water, dramatic landscape and friendly residents combine to make it a memorable destination.  European travellers since those on their ‘Grand Tour’ have voiced their amazement at the sheer scale of the mountains and the shape of the lake with its vast body of deep blue water lined by brilliant green hillsides dotted with clusters of cream, gold, pink and terracotta homes.  Above them looms a ring of rugged peaks, some of which are snow-capped in summer. There are many literary connections including Shelley, Wordsworth and Longfellow. Rossini, Liszt and Bellini composed some of their greatest works whilst staying on Lake Como.
