Set right on Lake Como, Villa Chicca offers sensational views out over the glittering waters below. It’s difficult to tear your eyes away from the awe-inspiring panorama, and with plenty of places to gaze over the lake, you won’t have to. Sip your morning coffee on the balcony, sample mouthwatering local dishes on the dining terrace, stroll through the beautifully manicured gardens, all with the stunning lake backdrop.

Stretching across three floors, the rooms have been cosily decorated with a blend of modern furnishings and rustic Italian antiques. The bright and airy kitchen has been fitted with contemporary surfaces and amenities, ensuring all you need to create your favourite dishes. Dine in the open-plan living and dining area at the polished dark wood table, or else head onto the terrace where the views will allow you to feast your eyes as well as your stomach.

Ideal for families and groups of friends, Villa Chicca has four lovely bedrooms. On the first floor are two queen-sized rooms and a room with two twin beds, alongside a shared bathroom complete with a decadent jacuzzi tub. The third-floor ‘penthouse’ room has a pull-out queen-sized bed, along with a living and study area, and a shower room.

Villa Chicca is perfectly placed for exploring the village of Lezzeno, which is just a short stroll away. Here you can indulge in a freshly brewed coffee, before tucking into the catch of the day or a wood-fired pizza at the local restaurants. There are also plenty more charming villages in the local area ripe for exploring, easily accessed by car or via the public boat from the nearby landing.
