Villa Amore still belongs into the same noble Swiss family who came here on holiday at the turn of the century, fell in love with the area and decided to build their Italian holiday home on the shores of Lake Como. Carefully restored and completed in 2008 by the original owner's decendents, great attention to detail was necessary to restored it to its original characteristics and adding the modern comforts of today. The home has many fine tapestries and fabrics, fine wood floors with geometric inlays, beautiful painting on cover the walls and family period furnishings equal a comfortable and elegant home.

Located on the shores of romantic Lake Como, between the famous Villa d'Este hotel in Cernobbio and George Clooney's residence in Laglio, Villa Amore has a beautifully landscaped garden, with a panoramic seventy square meter terrace overlooking the lake with spectacular views, allowing you to relax or sunbathe in full privacy. From the villa's private dock, get the best view of Lake Como from your own rental boat or a hired water taxi and take a leisurely ride while you enjoy the views of the ancient villas and their gardens. Visit the surrounding villages of the lake with their shops and cafés, as well as the nearby towns of Menaggio, Bellagio,and Tremezzo – all are a just a short boat ride away. The outdoor gardens and terrce are just ideal for dining alfresco, or finding your little nook to sit and read a book in peaceful nirvana.

The section of the lake that extends from Como to Tremezzo is a sophisticated resort, where there are no isolated or rural areas. One visits for the scenery, the luxury shopping, and the incredible views from the stylish restaurants and cafés. Ancient villages and enchanting gardens are the setting for the historical villas of the Lombardy aristocracy, which dot the coastline like jewels in a crown.

This area also offers many other activities besides sightseeing to fill up your days. Water sports available include water-skiing, jet skiing and kayaking. Nine golf courses are within 50 kilometers, three casinos are nearby and don't forget shopping in Como, Bellagio, Lugano and Fox Town in Mendrisio.
