Lake Como Looker
Built on a hillside in the ancient village of Sala Comacina, Villa M stands apart for its 180-degree view over Lake Como’s sole island. The newly constructed architectural outpost cuts a spare, almost austere silhouette that seems chiseled and masculine—a sophisticated and slightly edgy standout in its storybook village setting.
With its strong grey lines, looming hillside location, lean infinity pool, and front-and-center terrace, this villa for rent in Italy offers a dashing diversion from the norm on the shores of Lake Como in the storybook village of Sala Comacina. Every strong angle within the modern space presents a new, mesmerizing view, with the village’s island starring in every vista. You can lounge right on top of the water in the villa’s lap pool, recline indoors surrounded by local cherry wood and serpentine stone, bathe in your bedroom in deep, egg-shaped, soaking tubs, or beautify before built-in contemporary vanities flooded with natural light.
AROUND
Located at the heart of Lake Como, this villa for rent in Italy offers 180-degree lake views over the luxurious lake’s only island, Comacina Island. The villa’s hillside location in Sala Comacina village offers guests unobstructed views of the lake and village, a timeless fishing port of some 600 inhabitants only 20 minutes from Como. Behind the village, Monte Costone rises above a pedestrian promontory called La Puncia near the spectacular Villa Rachele Beccaria. The town’s sweet little harbor is as picturesque as they come, and its historical district is made up of humble townhouses, romantic bridges and balconies, and ancient narrow streets and alleys.
Lake Como is known for its beauty and star-studded residences. The luxe lake offers all the glitter and glam you could want in its waterfront restaurants, and villas, monuments, and palazzi. Shopping is a draw, at stores both boutique and artisanal, and exclusive enclaves worth exploring include the legendary communities of Bellagio, Varenna, and Como. Outdoor adventures also draw vacationers to the area. Boat tours, hiking, designated foot and cycling paths and countless inlets for swimming and splashing offer ample athletic options. And Lake Como is a preeminent culinary destination, land of hundreds of restaurants offering inventive flavors from the haute cuisine to the more humble, with destination wine cellars and tasting rooms to complement your meals.
