House rent in Menaggio Lombardy

Villa Borgia is an exquisite villa in all aspects, perched above the beautiful Lake Como in the north of Italy, touching off the Swiss border. A comprehensively built villa that includes all the features and necessities that guests could want or need, the newly renovated Villa Borgia has a history of over 100 years behind it as a villa; originally built on the site of a medieval watch tower, Villa Borgia an authentic Liberty-style villa, a style of architecture that was inspired by the Art Nouveau movement of the 19th century. It was built in 1909 by the Peduzzi family and refurbished in recent years under the careful direction and guidance of Italian architect, Andrea Meirana. Surrounded by 4.5 acres of landscaped gardens and lush green forest, privacy, and security can be enjoyed from any room of the villa. Numerous outdoor lounge areas can be found in the extensive grounds of the property, as well as a dining area under a pergola overlooking the lake, for a refreshing take on an al fresco dinner. A short stroll from the villa will lead guests to the pool house, which sits over the infinity edge pool, containing a kitchen, bathroom, and island bar, as well as comfortable seating in front of the full-length folding windows. The infinity-edge swimming pool is surrounded by a beautiful, sleek stone terrace, with an ample supply of sun loungers, ideally positioned to catch the best of the day’s sunshine. A corner couch with a low coffee table provides the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee and watch the rays of the sun glittering off the surface of the lake. Inside, the furnishings are minimal and contemporary, to allow the pre-existing Art Nouveau influences to take the spotlight; mosaic floors, carefully restored frescoes, wrought iron balconies, and stonework facades that feature throughout, the interiors were kept as faithful as possible to what originally existed, and these lend a great deal of character to the villa; the interior is as much a time capsule to the early 1900’s, as it is a highly valued feature of the property. This is by far one of the nicest Lake Como Villas. The villa features 3 main floors and a basement, accessible by stairs and elevator, of which there are 8 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, a living area, two kitchens, a dining room, a study, a media room, a bar, rooftop terraces, a wellness centre with gym and yoga facilities, and the pool house. The first and second floors are mirrored in layout, and contain the majority of bedrooms, with four on each floor; the third floor is a wide open-plan lounge, containing an array of entertainment choices, including a TV and projector with video game consoles, a sound system attached, alongside a pool table, books, and board games – a small kitchenette is also installed. Two rooftop terraces can also be accessed from here; with fabulous views of the lake to be enjoyed. The tall narrow windows lead out onto small balconies, providing each of the bedrooms a different vista to behold in the mornings; to the south, the lake and mountains, to the west, breathtaking sunsets, and to the east, gorgeous sunrises over the mountain range. Each room is outfitted with luxurious double beds and comfortable bedding to ensure that guests are content and well-rested upon waking the next day.
