Villa Concetta

On the elevated, sun-drenched west bank of Lake Como above the charming village of Argegno, Villa Concetta has commanded one of the lake's most breathtaking panoramas since it was built in 1911 — a view that sweeps from Bellagio all the way to the pre-Alpine peaks, and has welcomed guests from across the world for well over a century. Gracious, warmly characterful, and full of the kind of detail that only comes with age and genuine care, this is a Lake Como villa rental that feels genuinely lived-in and loved.
Six ensuite bedrooms with private terraces accommodate up to 11 guests across a layout that is as sociable as it is comfortable. On the ground floor, an elegant entrance hall opens into a generous living area with TV corner and library, flowing through to a fully equipped kitchen with fireplace and wood-burning pizza oven — in turn opening onto a veranda-style dining room with its own fireplace and large French doors onto the terrace and pool. A charming wine and prosciutto tasting area adds a wonderfully Italian touch, while a mini spa with steam room, chromotherapy shower, and relaxation room ensures that every evening can end in complete indulgence.
Outside, a 3,000-square-metre fenced sculpture garden — impeccably maintained, planted with lawn, flowers, and mature trees — surrounds the villa, with a swimming pool, barbecue, and generous outdoor lounging areas all perfectly placed to make the most of the lake views.
A pedestrian path of Roman origin leads directly from the villa down to the centre of Argegno in around 800 metres, where a ferry station, restaurants, and a grocery store await. Argegno sits midway between Como and Menaggio, at the heart of the lake's celebrated golden triangle with Bellagio and Varenna — perfectly placed for exploring everything Lake Como has to offer.
