Villa Writer's Nest - Self-catering house in Lombardy
Via alle Rive, 21A, 22100 Faggeto Lario, Como
Lombardy,
Italia
Built at the end of the 1800s, this was originally a home for stone quarrymen – the quarry itself dates to Roman times and you'll find the history of this labour of love in the villa. Each room is spacious and filled with interest, and if it rains (rarely) you have a library full of good books and you can listen to a vast musical collection from classical to jazz and everything in between. Views from the open plan living and dining area soar over the garden and lake – it's all very beautiful.
Bedrooms (one doubles as a snug on the ground floor) are very attractive with antiques and all share those stunning views. There are two kitchens: one in the main living area with a wooden dining table for cooler evenings, and the other in the sun room leading to the garden. Both have plenty of kit and lovely vintage china.
Mostly you'll be outdoors on one of the terraces, snoozing on the lawn, diving into the lake, relishing being here.
