Further details
A popular destination for tourists, Argegno is situated in a large inlet on the western shore of Lake Como at the mouth of the Val d’Intelvi. It has a pleasant climate and is mild even in the winter months. With its’ beautiful panoramic location, one can see from the headland of Bellagio to the north and as far as Nesso towards the south. Argegno offers a surprising amount of facilities for a quaint lakeside fishing village – 5 good restaurants/pizzerias, 2 excellent wine bars (Enoteca and Bar Colombo), serving free snacks at aperitivo time every day. There are 2 banks with cash points and a small store. And you won’t be able to resist Andrea’s home-made ice creams (made with whatever is available fresh that day, including cucumber!). The scent of the bakery will draw you up the narrow alleyways to find fresh brioche (croissants) and bread, baked daily on the premises by Louisa. Buy fresh vegetables from Mario and ask him for one of his superb recipes – always served with smile and he speaks excellent English. If that wasn’t enough, the village also now boasts a beautician and 2 hairdressers! Argegno is also within striking distance of all Lake Como’s treasures, as it is a main bus and ferry stop-off point for the rest of the lake. Villa Balbianello (Star Wars & James Bond) is just around the corner, Villa Carlotta a short ferry ride away, as are Bellagio, Menaggio and Varenna – get a centre lake ticket and visit all three in one day. The village is certainly of Roman origin, as it owes its’ name to the consul Publio Cesio Archigene. At one time Argegno was part of a defensive system, which extended as far as the ancient villa of Lenno and the Isola Comacina to obstruct the passage of invaders.

Guest comments
Your villa was stunning, as described. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views are so truly amazing, we never wanted to leave the poolside! Jane and Pascale Turner, August 2009.
We felt incredibly privileged to be the very first guests in your lovely new villa. It really was amazing! Exactly as described and with everything we could possibly have needed for an idyllic holiday. Thank you so much. Warner family, Bristol, August 2009.
What a paradise! We felt on top of the world and had a great time spotting the lake planes and the eagles BELOW us. The village of Argegno is so quaint and the local baker is a mouthwatering delight every morning for fresh brioche and bread. Ymm. Sandra Caruthers, York.
That pool.....it just flows into the lake below. Wow, we loved it. Can't wait to see you again next September. Please book the same fantastic weather for us. Pete and Jo, Denton, Manchester.

Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
This has to be the most stunning location on the Lake. We had been searching for the perfect plot of land since arriving here 15 years ago. We finally found it just 7 years ago and then had to go through the bureaucratic nightmare of planning permission. But finally at the end of summer 2009 we moved into our dream home here and we love it and think you will too!The views are truly panoramic. The location as peaceful and unspoilt as you would expect from a tiny hamlet, yet within a 3-5 minute drive of the bustling lake side village of Argegno, where you can find everything from fine dining to cheap pizzas, great wine bars with free food at aperitivi time every day and a lake side lido where you can soak up the sun, if you can drag yourself away from the villa's lake view pool.
Unique benefits of the property
The location is truly panoramic, being located on a steep hillside. As well as stunning lake views, you also have the backdrop of magestic mountains.
