Villa Del Sole is that rare gem that combines convenience with quietude. Its privileged location on a hilltop at the tip of the Bellagio peninsula affords guests a serene retreat away from the town’s hustle and bustle, yet puts all of its elegant shops, bars and gelato stalls within easy reach. That is, of course, if you can bear to leave the pool and panoramic views behind…

The accommodations and living spaces are spread across three floors, accessible through an internal wooden staircase. With the charming stone cladding, whitewashed timber and leather furnishings, the modern design has a homey touch, and wrap-around windows throughout make the most of the stunning views. Head downstairs for the gym with its own shower room and the cantina stocked with the area’s most popular vintages.

Two double bedrooms, each with their own shower room, are on the main floor, along with the well-equipped kitchen, an open plan living and dining space and a small library complete with books and games for those rare rainy days. Just outside the living room is the stone terrace with a dining and living area for fab al fresco feasts and a panoramic pool overlooking Lake Como for exercise and family fun. Upstairs you’ll find another double bedroom with a shower room and a small living room on the landing, which can also be used as a bedroom with its single sofabed and step out terrace.

And if you are looking to host an event, hire a personal chef or experience the area’s best guides, private boat tours and family-friendly adventures, the destination specialists at IC Bellagio are just a phone call away.
