From its leafy hillside position, the Gio Ponti-designed Villa Barbra takes in the natural splendour of Lake Como, offering an authentic taste of Italy for up to 13 people in a sublime location. Sitting within three acres of beautiful private grounds, your villa places you 500 metres from the quaint village of Civenna. It's just a 15-minute drive from Bellagio Village, where you can sip coffee alongside the locals or indulge in exquisite Italian dining.

Bellagio delights with its narrow cobblestone alleys, lined with colourful buildings. Wander these streets, discovering little shops selling hand-crafted leather goods, artisanal foods and chic fashion. Let your dedicated concierge arrange a romantic boat tour across the breathtaking lake, spotting hidden beaches and grand waterfront homes. The hillside around Lake Como offers miles of excellent hiking trails, where you can immerse yourself in the pine-scented Alpine scenery.

Villa Barbra's interiors are infused with the spirit of the 1960s. In the funky main living room, get the drinks flowing at an original 60's bar, then play cards at the vintage Formanova table or cosy around the fireplace in the sunken lounge. A second living and dining space is located on the second floor. The heart of any Italian home, the villa's kitchen impresses with a brass island, pink marble floors and cherry wood cabinetry. On warm summer evenings, serve your banquets al fresco on the leafy garden terrace.

Find contemporary art alongside 60s-inspired furniture in the villa's five fresh and airy bedrooms. Four bedrooms offer king-size beds that can be split into two single beds. The fifth bedroom provides a king-size bed that can be split into two single beds, as well as an additional single bed. The final bedroom features a double bed.

Seek a peaceful spot on one of the villa's furnished balconies or terraces to savour a glass of wine as the sun sets behind the snow-capped peaks. Follow the ball lights in the garden to the beautiful private pool, where you’ll also find a tempting sauna and hot tub. With unbeatable views and trendy accommodation, Villa Barbra will help you host an unforgettable Lake Como holiday.
