Diranda

Welcome to Diranda, a luxurious 4-bedroom villa situated right in the center of the calming serenity, unspoiled landscapes and sophisticated atmosphere of Lake Como, Italy. The charm of the region is irresistible, with many celebrities falling under its spell and purchasing properties along its shore. Diranda is located just a short drive north of Menaggio one of many vibrant towns along the water’s edge; it offers a buzzing dining, entertainment and shopping scene, as well as a convenient public ferry terminal.

Lake Como is most famous for its picture-perfect towns with narrow cobbled streets, winding drives along its shore with breath-taking views of the sparkling water below, as well as the beautiful homes and gardens available to visit. For those interested in the culture and glamour of the lake, take a stroll through the city of Como, absorbing its history and architecture, before hopping on a ferry north to other local towns. Organize a boat tour with our concierge service to enjoy all the lake has to offer from the water. Have fun spotting properties owned by the rich and famous (Donatella Versace, Madonna, and George Clooney, among others). With fashion-capital Milan just 45 minutes away, it's no wonder that Lake Como also offers excellent designer shopping. The Lombardy region provides some of the best Italian cuisine, be sure to check out our guide on the best food in Italy before your visit.

For your more adventurous guests, there are many sports and activities to keep them busy. Water-skiing, windsurfing and wakeboarding can all be enjoyed right on the lake. Nature trails through the surrounding hills can be enjoyed by hikers and cyclists alike. Try a round of golf or tennis at one of the many locations across the lake region. For those looking for a once in a lifetime experience, book a flight over the lake by seaplane or try paragliding off of Mount Nuvolone and enjoy the spectacular views from above.

Perched on a hill, the villa offers exceptional views of the lake below. Encompassed by an enclosed 10,000 sq. ft manicured garden, this oasis of relaxation provides your guests with a private and peaceful escape from day-to-day life. Curl up and enjoy your book under the blissful Italian sun on the furnished sundeck as the kids splash around in the pool all afternoon. The covered glass patio in front of the villa is the perfect spot to relax and sip on a refreshing afternoon Aperol spritz in the shade or to enjoy the local cuisine al fresco with family and friends.

The villa’s main living space is generous in size and an apt space for when you feel the need to recharge indoors. The cozy sitting room offers incredible lake views and is furnished with inviting, plush sofas that you can just sink into after a day spent exploring. A reading room complete with satellite TV, DVD and billiard table offers a separate space for your younger guests to spend time and is bound to keep them entertained for hours.
