The historic Villa Camilla is situated in a picturesque location on the western shore of Lake Como between Dongo and Menaggio. The villa is nestled in a well-kept park of around 4000 square meters with mature trees and many flowering plants. The slightly sloping location offers you a fantastic view of Lake Como and the surrounding mountain scenery. A large, wrought-iron gate and an approx. 80 m long private path lead from the lakeside road up to the villa. Antique columns frame the pool area, which invites you to relax on comfortable sun loungers.
Sports enthusiasts can use the private tennis court and there is also a table tennis table. A buoy can be hired for boats you bring with you.
