About this property

Luxury Villa With large Eco-Pool And Magnificent Views of the Alps

Il Ronco is a charming family home set in an idyllic garden on top of a hill and surrounded by forests. On the hill there are 5 more villas, all belonging to the same family and all quite far from each other. We have the best view! over the Parco del Ticino, a protected forest, all the way to the Monte Rosa, the second highest peak in the Alps. The land has been in the family for 5 generations and used to be a hunting reserve with a hunting lodge. The reason why the current owners' parents decided to live there is that it is a very easy commute to Milan where they worked but also to Como where the kids went to school and ideal for great family day trips on the lake. The Swiss border is only about 15 minutes drive from the house and a visit to Lugano is always fun if you are there. There are golf courses, designer clothes outlets, fun water parks and tree top walks to entertain the whole family but we find that we often end up just sitting by the pool, going for a little walk in the woods, playing a game of badminton or hang out in the conservatory or on the veranda. We do get out of the house to go to one of the fantastic local restaurants for a proper meal or just a nice pizza. The best time of the day is always Martini cocktails time on the veranda at sunset. Different every night, beautiful every night.

Superb stay at a wonderful villa

We were two families from the UK with teenage kids staying at Il Ronco for one week in early August 2022. Having had the opportunity down the years of holidaying at villas in France, Spain, Italy and Greece, Il Ronco is by some distance the loveliest. The villa and its grounds are perfect. The villa is a home rather than a villa whose primary purpose is as a rental. I would thoroughly recommend it for a multitude of reasons, including: - Beautiful grounds - Wonderfully comfortable and homely accommodation - Fantastic pool - Bakery and butcher, three minute walk - Large and extremely well equipped kitchen. With many base condiments. - Brilliant café/bar full of locals, a short walk away. I could go on and on. For us, the location was well positioned to explore the wider area, including Como and Varese … though I had no idea that the Italians were such big fans of roundabouts! Virgilio is employed by the family to look after the home and its grounds. His presence added to our experience. He was completely non-intrusive, though on hand if needed. I recognise that for some people someone on site is not their cup of tea. Hence explicitly flagging it here in my review. Passover considering this villa at your peril.

Peaceful and relaxing and very comfortable

The villa is clearly a much loved home. Surrounded by lawns and trees, it is a peaceful place to unwind and enjoy cooking or being cooked for (thank you to Marco). There is a short walk to the pool under chestnut trees. We swam in the huge pool and played tennis. Easy access to Como and the lake and also not far from Milan and it’s airport. Thank you Francesca and family.

Big, cosy villa with nice surroundings

We spent a really nice Christmas here, and the villa was perfect in size even though we were a large group of 11 people. We really much enjoyed also playing tennis at the premises, and we think that the swimming pool area in general would be very nice in the summer. From the big and beautiful front yard and terraces you get a view of the alps. Now when it was winter, we enjoyed the villa more from the inside, sitting by the relaxing fireplace. The kitchen was very well equipped, it had everything we needed and more. Thank you! I would definitely recommend this place for a nice, cosy family get-together.

Succesful choice for holidays!

We came Oltrona village and Il Ronco 22nd of Dec to spend our Christmas holidays there. The house and the whole area were just perfect for our big group (11 persons). The facilities were really good for us, enough bedrooms, bathrooms, big kitchen to cook all christmas foods etc. The location was very good, only some 40 km from Malpensa airport, La Como lake quite near. I really can recommend this place! Timo Hanninen from Finland

Wonderful stay in the lakes region

The house at Ronco is wonderfully located, easily reached from Milan and close to the magnificent lakes and their many attractions. The property itself is beautiful, very well appointed, in a quiet location with all necessary shopping nearby. The caretaker was super helpful and friendly, and the owner very responsive and pleasant to deal with. We enjoyed every aspect of our stay and would love to have a chance to visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Francesca Nelson-Smith

I am Italian and grew up in this house. I now live in London with my husband and 3 children and we use the house for family holidays. We all love it because it is comfortable, close to Milan for shopping (and culture :))
and to the lake for fantastic days out but it's also always quiet in the evenings when we come back and have a drink in front of the fire or out by the pool or on the veranda, depending on the season.

Why they chose this property

The house was built by my dad, who was an architect, for his family, on a hill that belongs to my mother's family. He designed 3 different houses and she chose the one that was built. They then decorated it together and as we grew up, we added bits too, so it really feels like a home, not just a house. It is on top of a hill, with magnificent views of the Parco del Ticino (a beautiful forest) all the way to the Alps, with not a single house to be seen in between.
It has a beautiful eco-pool in the garden that has been recently built to substitute the use of one we shared with other families on the other side of the hill. The swimming pool measures 14x4 mt and along one side sits the separate planting area with all the lovely flowers and water lilies that keep the water clean and lovely for us. It is an incredible feeling to swim in clear water with no chemicals in it and no salt.
If I had not inherited this house and i saw it, I would definitely dream of buying it.

What makes this property unique

The great thing about il Ronco is that it is so well located for getting to and from Malpensa airport (30/40 minutes drive), shopping and sightseeing in Milan (30 minutes), lake Como (20 minutes), 4 golf courses (all within 30 minutes drive), riding in the village next door, swimming in the lovely pool whilst at the same time being able to enjoy complete peace if you just want to sit in the garden and read a book or have a drink whilst watching the sun go down behind the Alps. The only interruption would be the sound of a cuckoo bird or a squirrel running from one tree to the next.
Our caretaker lives in a flat in the basement and keeps the communal areas clean for our guests every day, unless they ask us not to, and will do extra cleaning upon request for which guests pay him directly. A chef is also available upon request.
