Enjoy one of the most beautiful places in the world by staying in a wonderful Villa built at the beginning of the 18th century. Villa Casanova, owned by an important Italian noble family and previously the residence of a Bishop, has been recently renovated with a particular attention to preserving the antique furniture and “frescoes” dating back to early 'The Villa is divided into 2 separated apartments (one with 4 bedrooms and the other with 2 bedrooms) with separate entrances. One apartment takes the first two floors, with an entrance on the front side of the Villa, the second apartment is on the top floor and can be reached from the back side of the Villa. The Villa can accommodate up to 12 people, it has 6 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. There are two master bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms. Two adjacent bedrooms (both with double beds) suitable for a couple with children, with access to a veranda with a breathtaking view of the lake and the mountains raising up from the water.
The old Orangery was recently renovated and transformed into a charming and spacious room overlooking the garden, it has a queen size bed, en-suite bathroom and provides guests with privacy because it is located next to the Villa. The Villa is surrounded by a lush park, for exclusive use of our guests, with a great variety of plants and flowers. During the summer season (June to September), our guests will also have access to the spacious and sunny swimming-pool, located on the back part of the garden.
Casanova is an historical and luxury Villa and must be respected as such. Despite the impressive walls typical of the period and the charming oak floors, it is sometimes possible to hear the floor creaking between the second and third floor of the Villa.
The Villa is decorated with great taste and it is equipped with all comforts, such as free wi-fi in every room and 2 satellite TVs, one in the TV lounge (ground floor) and the other in the living room at the 3rd floor.

The charming town of Lenno has restaurants, bars, supermarkets, delicious gelato, wine shops, etc. Our guests also have the opportunity to purchase olive oil from a local mill and fresh fish from the fishermen. We can also organize wonderful trips with a motorboat to enjoy the beautiful shores of the lake. Lenno, in the heart of Lake of Como, is the perfect base to discover the beauties of the lake.
