Situated in the town of Tremezzina on the banks of the magical Lake Como is this breathtaking nine-bedroom house, sitting majestically in vast gardens overlooking the lake. Torcio Felpe was built in 1901 but was lovingly refurbished in 2019, making this powder pink five-storey villa stunning both inside and out.

This grand house can accommodate 18 guests in comfort, so there is plenty of space for family get-togethers. The large indoor pool, beautiful and spacious living areas, private parkland and a tennis court make this house very difficult to beat. As well as being a stunning home, the villa also has all the modern amenities that a family can need. The bedrooms all feature air- conditioning and you have Wi-Fi throughout.

Torcio Felpe is a wonderful place for your Italian holiday; spend your days wandering through the vast private gardens and swimming in the incredible heated pool. Your break is made all the more relaxing as the villa is fully staffed, meaning there are professionals on hand for everything you could need. The chef will prepare breakfast for you with seasonal produce from the kitchen garden including strawberries, cherries and apricots or whatever may be season, alongside local eggs, home-made breads and ricotta tarts. A local management team can also book new activities such as painting, yoga, writing or even truffle-hunting!

Of course, aside from the beauty of the house and the sumptuous interior design, the main attraction is Lake Como itself which you can see from the manicured gardens and expansive terrace. You are in the perfect location to sit back and relax looking over at clear waters of the lake as you unwind in the evening.
