VILLA CORTESE - BELLAGIO AREA

Villa Cortese is an elegant historical villa located on the shores on Lake Como just a short drive from Bellagio, the Jewel of Lake Como.The Villa is located on the lake shore and is surrounded by the a beautiful extensive park with elegant swimming pool, overlooked by century-old trees. The friendly, unobtrusive owner has his own residence on the far side of the park and driveway with its own independent parking area and garden; he uses it only at weekends and holidays. The fantastic location of the property makes it the perfect base for those who wish to explore the lake using either the public ferries or a private boat.
