About the Experience
This Lake Como villa is actually an old fisherman's house, located right on the lake shore. With terraces outfitted for dining or lounging, this Lake Como accommodation allows you to enjoy wonderful views or enjoy the company of your traveling companions. And with Menaggio nearby, this vacation rental on Italy's Lake Como is an excellent base for exploring the Italian Lakes area.
Location
This villa is located on the outskirts of the picturesque lake resort of San Siro, on the northwest side of Lake Como. There is a pizzeria near the parking area for this villa, while basic shopping, services, a bus stop, and other restaurants are about 2 km away. On shore of the lake there are water sports facilities (boat rental, sailing, surfing), and a number of scenic trekking routes that begin at the lake. San Siro is a pretty, antique hamlet where you can still feel the atmosphere of the ancient past and view the beautiful castle with arcades dating back to the year 1000. Menaggio, to the south, offers more elegant shopping as well as sports facilities and a dock where you can catch boats and hydrofoils to other lake shore towns like Varenna, Bellagio, and Como.

Exterior Description
(80 m2) Arriving at this villa, it will be necessary to park your car just outside of the village and walk about 250 meters to the villa along a pedestrian road. The path is cobbled with steps that can be slippery when wet or icy; therefore this villa is not recommended for anyone with walking difficulties. A porter service is available to help with your luggage-- but leave your high heels at home and bring a pair of good walking shoes! Arriving at the villa, you'll discover that it is situated right on the water with beautiful lake views from both the interior and the large terraces. Outside the villa there is a gated terrace-solarium with a barbecue and furniture for dining and lounging. Steep steps lead down to the edge of the water, where there is a narrow pebble beach that may occasionally be frequented by fishermen or walkers.
