Casa San Siro - Lake Como

Accommodates 6 — 3 Bedrooms — 2 Baths

Villa San Siro is a delightful, thoroughly modernized upscale home located on the western shore of Lago di Como above the village of San Siro from which it takes its name. The house is located above the water overlooking the lake; it is not on the edge of the lake shore. What you get in return is some of the most enchanting views of the lake we have seen.

Parking is no problem, as an electronically controlled gate admits you to the villa’s private entrance drive. A delightful glass-enclosed loggia enjoying those beautiful views leads into San Siro’s open-plan living/dining room divided by a counter from the brand-new kitchen with everything. A half-flight of stairs brings you to a children’s bedroom with two twin beds, while a further half-flight leads to a master bedroom with en-suite bath and a second twin bedroom with a nearby bath off the hall. Both baths have stall showers. Downstairs is the laundry room, plus, outside, a beautiful loggia, lawn, and fenced garden.

Villa San Siro is an upscale house furnished tastefully and comfortably throughout. The owners did this up for their own use, not for rental.

San Siro is a significant lakeside town with good basic shopping, services, and restaurants. Menaggio, 4 miles south, offers more extensive and more elegant shopping as well as sports facilities and the dock where you’ll be able to catch the boats and hydrofoils up and down the lake between Switzerland and the city of Como, and, perhaps more importantly, across the lake to Varenna and Bellagio. Lugano is about 30 miles, while Milan is about 50 miles away, and the Milan-Malpensa airport is about 90 minutes away, more or less, depending on traffic. You can rent a little boat for yourselves in Santa Maria, and Menaggio has a lakeside sports complex with swimming pool and tennis court. There are also several fine golf courses in the vicinity.

We consider San Siro to be a very good house for 2 couples plus 2 children. In sum: A lovely home with beautiful views in an excellent position for touring Lake Como.
