The neighbourhood
The villa is located in Carate Urio, a lakeside town on the western shore of Lake Como, approximately ten kilometers from the city of Como. The town sits on a steep hillside within the area known as the “golden mile,” stretching from Villa d’Este in Cernobbio to the town of Laglio, an area recognized for its excellent sun exposure and panoramic lake views. The property is situated in the upper part of the town, while lakeside restaurants and the ferry pier can be reached in about ten minutes on foot. Visitors should be aware that the historic streets are narrow, the terrain is steep, and many areas include stairs that may not be accessible by car.
