Features- Lakefront position with pool
- Extremely comfortable accommodation
- Lakeside walk to village (500m)
Description Villa Rivalago is set in a privileged lakefront position at only 600 m. from the centre of the pretty village of Pianello. The villa is stylish and open providing breathtaking views over the lake and distant mountains. It features a huge panoramic terrace of 360 sqm, furnished with sun loungers and outdoor tables, an inground swimming pool, computer with internet access, fax and satellite TV for those who need to stay in touch, a full commercial kitchen, a number of lounge and dining rooms.
The seven bedrooms are situated on the first floor and comprise five double suites with ensuite bathrooms and two single bedrooms of which one is only accessible from the suite - ideal for small children. Two of the suites open onto a panoramic lakefront terrace. Included in the price of the accommodation are two to four hours of daily maid service, and a change of linen during the week.
A thick hedge (chest height) defines the limits of the property and a slightly sunken paved lakeside pedestrian path runs along the shore between the lake and the property. We note for your attention that this may limit the privacy on the terrace especially during July and August. On the other hand, the path provides a lovely meander down to the centre of Pianello, a traditional village where there are basic shopping facilities, cafes, tennis courts etc. The north of Lake Como is quite different in atmosphere from the jet setting and fashion conscious southern end of the lake. You'll not find Hollywood stars' or fashion designers mansions, finding instead traditional villages, wonderful local trattorias, local fishermen going about their business and stunning natural scenery.

Varenna
Halfway down the eastern shore of the lake, right opposite the mouth of the Lecco branch, lies Varenna. Like a sentry standing at the crossroad of the lake, it was built on a rock promontory overshadowed by a steep mountain, at the top of which you can make out dark outline of an old ruined castle.> more
