Villa La Felice is a restored Lombard house fifteen minutes beyond Menaggio — six en-suite bedrooms, gardens that fall to your own gate on the water, and the whole villa exclusively yours. An authentic Italian stay, not a hotel.
Enquire about your datesYou'll find Villa La Felice on the western shore at Pianello del Lario, where the mountains meet the water and the tour boats don't reach. A traditional Lombard house restored with a light hand, it puts you in gardens that fall through olive trees to a private gate on the lake — with a real village, a few family-run restaurants and a gelateria at the end of the drive. This is the Como the Italians keep for themselves.

Built in the Lombard tradition and restored with a light hand, La Felice keeps the soul of an older Como — high ceilings, shuttered windows, cool stone under bare feet — while everything you need simply works.
Your evenings gather around the wood-burning fire in the sitting room. Meals happen in the glass conservatory, the lake on every side, and behind it all is a full professional kitchen where your private chef cooks with whatever the morning market offered.

Six en-suite bedrooms, each with its own name, its own character and its own view — of the lake, the gardens or the Alps. Deciding who sleeps where is the first evening's entertainment.

Your mornings are slow — coffee on the terrace, shutters thrown open to the water. Afternoons take you out on the lake by boat, up into the hills for a long lunch, or no further than a book in the shade of the garden.
Menaggio is fifteen minutes away, Bellagio twenty by boat, and as the light softens the Alps turn pink across the water. Aperitivo is wherever you left your glass.
Pianello del Lario is a genuine Italian village on the western shore — a handful of family-run restaurants, gelato on the waterfront, and none of the crowds.
