Adria

Welcome to Adria, a beautiful 4-bedroom property located on the shore of the beautiful Lake Como, one of Italy's best known holiday destinations. This exceptional three-floor retreat is a haven of relaxation for those looking to escape the stress of day-to-day life and immerse themselves in their dream Italian escape. One of the most ideally located Lake Como villas, Adria is a short stroll from one of the lake's many charming villages, enjoying proximity to nearby restaurants and shops while still offering a sense of privacy.

Perfect for any guest looking for a picturesque getaway, Adria's lush garden, own private dock, charming exterior, and breathtaking views offer a perfect backdrop. The villa's ground floor terrace is where you and your guests are bound to spend much of your time, soaking up the incredible Lombardy sun. Complete with a charming alfresco dining area, why not enjoy some of your meals outdoors, cooled by the fresh breeze that blows from the lake, marvelling at the extraordinary surrounding vistas. It is hard to think of a better way to spend an evening than sampling a delicious cocktail with friends and family after a day full of adventure, watching the sunset over the crystal water. A stone staircase leads down to a private garden and heated swimming pool. Here you can work on your suntan followed by a refreshing dip in the azure pool or even the lake itself.

Adria's interior offers an impeccable blend of traditional Italian grandeur and modern luxury and comfort. The spacious and contemporary kitchen is fully equipped, complete with marble top counters and large windows which flood this great space with natural sunlight. Preparing some of the delicious local cuisine specialties for your guests in this bright and inviting space is anything but a chore. The gorgeous living room is a great asset for those who love entertaining. This beautiful space offers a formal dining table, antique fireplace and includes large French doors that open directly onto the panoramic terrace. The lower floor includes an area for your younger guests to spend time. Complete with a pool table, large plasma TV and stereo system, the kids are sure to be entertained for hours while the adults unwind upstairs.

The surrounding area has so much to offer and explore. Best known for its sparkling blue waters and charming medieval towns, be sure not to miss the opportunity of exploring Lake Como's coast from the water. Our concierge service can help you arrange a private boat to navigate the lake, spending your day spotting some of the incredible villas in Lake Como owned by the rich and famous (Donatella Versace, Madonna, and George Clooney, among others). For those looking to try more than traditional sightseeing, admire the unspoiled beauty of the lake and surrounding hillside by seaplane or hop on the funicular (hillside trolley) to Brunate and enjoy spectacular views from above.

Your more active guests will be kept busy with water sports such as water-skiing, windsurfing and wakeboarding, all on offer right on the lake. Mountain bikers have a plethora of natural trails to explore, leading through the lush greenery of the mountains or even a hidden pebble beach to cool off. Enjoy a round of golf or tennis at one of the many locations across the lake region. Lake Como has something for everyone! With fashion-capital Milan just 45 minutes away, it's no wonder that Lake Como also offers excellent designer shopping. With such a variety of activities on your doorstep, check out our Italy Packing List to make sure you're prepared.
