Situated in the shadow of the snow-covered Rhaetian Alps, this luxury villa offers a front-row seat to the most spectacular views of Lake Como, which is famously shaped like an upside-down Y and dotted with exquisite villages like Bellagio and Varenna. When you stay at Villa Borgovico, you are living the history of Lake Como vicariously, experiencing the same grandeur once reserved for dukes and duchesses in a luxury villa that is just a stone’s throw from the most elegant towns on Lake Como.

At the heart of Villa Borgovico lies a sanctuary of pure seclusion. An expansive 15-yard by 5-yard pool is nestled within the central courtyard, offering a refreshing escape just steps from your door.

The property itself is a masterpiece of design, offering sweeping views of Lake Como from every vantage point. Villa Borgovico is one of the most unique and historic sites on Lake Como, having undergone a three-year restoration finished in 2009 to return the estate to its 1772 splendor. This luxury villa can accommodate up to twenty-three guests, featuring eight bedrooms in the main house and three bedrooms in the guest house, making it the premier choice for large groups seeking a luxury villa on Lake Como. Surrounded by a generous lush garden and protected by stone walls and hedges for total privacy, Villa Borgovico features an exclusive swimming pool and a spacious poolside area where guests can unwind with a glass of prosecco while admiring the beauty of Lake Como.

The interior of the main luxury villa at Villa Borgovico is filled with priceless frescoes and modern conveniences, including a fully-equipped gym and an elevator connecting all floors. The ground floor of this luxury villa greets guests with a grand foyer and a spiral marble staircase, while the first floor boasts a formal living room with original mosaic floors and a terrace overlooking the Lake Como landscape.
