Park:

A lovely, level fenced garden of about 800 sq m surrounds the villa, for the most part paved and organized as an outdoor dining area and relaxation areas. The garden ends just three metres from the lake shore and from there guests have direct access to a small beach where they can swim. The majestic backdrop of the surrounding mountains and the enchanting lake view create an idyllic backdrop for romantic candlelit dinners under the starry sky or for simply relaxing in the garden and admiring the panorama. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Swimming Pool:

The rectangular pool, measuring 7,5 x 4,5 m with a constant depth of 1,10 m, is lined in blue PVC, which blends in well with the surrounding landscape, and has chlorine purification and two sets of Roman steps opposite each other for access to the water. The paved border and solarium area are equipped with sunbeds, director's chairs and umbrellas for relaxing under the sun. The pool is equipped with a retractable transparent cover which is easily maneuverable, even by a just two person. Here, the guests of the villa can enjoy a pleasant swim under the warmth of the summer sun or under the starry sky of Lake Como, taking advantage of the pleasant temperature given by the pool cover and the lights which illuminate the pool at night as well. It is also possible to heat the pool by paying a supplement. The pool is available to guests from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.

TO DO

Location and distances


Villa Alba del Lario is located in Pianello del Lario, a historic borgo of the upper Lario, 45 km from Como, one of the most characteristic and picturesque areas of all Lake Como. A unique place in the world, of endless beauty. Aristocratic villas alternate with small ancient borghi of romantic flavour. Of glacial origin and similar to a fjord, Lake Como is surrounded by high mountains that animate the landscape with inlets, rocky terraces and steep banks that fall straight down to the water. If the lower part offers an architectural and landscape itinerary steeped in history, myths and legends, the upper lake perfumes of freedom: a paradise for sailing and walking at high altitude.

Lolanda, the property manager, was absolutely outstanding. Truly, as much as we enjoyed the house itself, Lolanda was perhaps the best part of our stay because she was always available to answer a question, book a car for us, book a dinner reservation for us, book a private chef for us (on just two days notice). She checked in with us every morning via WhatsApp and in-person multiple times. It felt like we had a 'best friend' nearby who could help with anything at all we needed and was genuin
