Villa Darsena is a 7-bedroom property in Limonta, a quiet village on the eastern shore of Lake Como, just 5 minutes by car from Bellagio. The villa is arranged across several buildings set within landscaped gardens, with all rooms offering views across the lake to the mountains beyond. The property accommodates up to 14 guests. Milan Malpensa Airport is approximately 1 hour 45 minutes away, Varenna train station around 15 minutes, and the ferry pier at Bellagio a short drive or seasonal boat ride.
Limonta sits on the stretch of shoreline between Bellagio and Lecco, where olive groves and a mild microclimate have shaped the landscape for centuries. The village retains its traditional character—stone houses, narrow lanes, and a small lakeside pier—while Bellagio's restaurants, boutiques, and waterfront promenade are moments away. From Bellagio, ferries cross to Varenna in 15 minutes and to Menaggio on the western shore, opening up the grand villas and gardens of Tremezzo, Lenno, and the celebrated Villa Balbianello. The eastern branch of the lake offers quieter pleasures: walks through chestnut woods, views of the Grigne peaks, and trattorias serving lake fish in villages where visitors remain few.
The property comprises a main villa, a separate rustico building beside the pool, and 2 garden-level rooms near the entrance. The main villa contains shared living and breakfast areas on the ground floor, with 2 bedrooms on the top floor. Below the main terrace, a suite occupies a generous space with floor-to-ceiling arched windows and a freestanding bathtub with lake views. The 2 rooms on the lower level feature a contemporary black-and-white palette, Carrara marble bathrooms, and private outdoor seating beneath a rooftop solarium. The building on the upper level houses 2 bedrooms—1 at pool level with a private patio, the other on the first floor with a balcony—both finished with wood, leather, and ethnic textiles. All 7 bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, Illy coffee machines, and safes are provided in each room. A private chef is available to prepare meals using local produce, and the owners produce their own wine, Radino, which guests may taste on site.
The garden surrounds the buildings, planted with olive trees, hydrangeas, jasmine, and roses, with benches and a solarium positioned throughout. The infinity pool overlooks the lake and is equipped with a jacuzzi and solar-heated outdoor shower. Sun loungers are arranged on the surrounding lawn. Private parking is available for up to 5 vehicles, with additional public parking 300 meters away.
