Lake Como: Argegno

A modern boutique holiday apartment with breathtaking lake views just two minutes walk from the lake in the pretty village of Argegno.

This holiday apartment is situated in the sleepy fishing of Argegno. It is perfectly positioned to enjoy all aspects of Lake Como. Argegno itself is home to lakeside living par excellence with a selection of bars and restaurants, perfect for a lazy lunch or a romantic candlelit alfresco feast. The village also boasts an ice cream parlour, bakery, a small fruit and vegetable shop and mini market (a larger supermarket is found in Como 20 minutes south of Argegno). Alternatively rustle up a feast at home, relax on the comfortable leather sofas whist listening to your favourite CD, or just sip on a cool glass of Pinot Grigio whilst soaking up the sun on the apartments' balcony. Just sit back and take in the view! The apartment is all about modern, contemporary living with the emphasis on relaxation and comfort. All major routes are accessible by car, boat or bus from the village.

This apartment boasts a huge private balcony with dining for four for enviable views of the lake, mountains and boat pool.

Further information

You are quite literally spoiled for choice here in Lake Como. Choose from Villa Carlotta in Tremezzo (20 minutes by car). Beautiful gardens in many styles with lake views to die for! Don't forget to bring your camera.

Villa Serbollini in Bellagio with unrivalled panoramic views is a fantstic day out. Bellagio itself is always a favourite for holiday makers with it's cobbled streets and unbeatable views. Do not miss Villa Babinello in Lenno. If you wanted to propose to somebody I have yet to see a more romantic spot! Walk to the villa or take the private boat (5 euros) from Lenno lido (20 minutes by car from the apartment). The villa and it's majestic gardens overlook the rich blue waters of the lake. Simply divine. No wonder the new James Bond film was shot at this Villa! (May 2006)

Drive down to Cernobbio (15 minutes south of the apartment) for an idyllic lakeside walk, a favourite past time of ours for a Sunday stroll. Menaggio, with it's palm lined walkways is another pretty lake village worth exploring. Many boat activities from windsurfing to sailing are available on the lake as well as other water sports.

Mountain bikes are also available for hire if you wish to venture into the vast mountains that surround the lake.

There are plenty of restaurants we are happy to recommend for you both nearby in the village and further afield.

Local attractions

Skiing:
Skiing in Lanzo in Italy is the nearest; a small ski resort, 30 minutes from the apartment by car. St Moritz in Switzerland or Bormio in Italy is also worth visiting. In the summer we recommend trekking or viewing the glaciers in Zermatt.

Golf:
The nearest golf club is on Menaggio, only 20 minutes drive from the apartment.

Twenty minutes drive away is the world famous Villa Carlotta with its majestic gardens and breathtaking lake views.
