Description
Villa Precious was built in around 1920 and has belonged to the landlord\'s family since 1950. This is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom villa that can accommodate up to 8 guests. Please note that all prices listed are for 6 guests. Please inquire if you have larger groups.
It is positioned in a splendid sunlit spot just above Domaso on the western side of Lake Como and offers its visitors a breathtaking full landscape view: on one side one can admire the top of the lake starting from the mouth of the affluent river Adda and on the other gaze southwards as far as Bellagio.
In 2011-2012 it was completely restructured but at the same time maintaining many of its original distinguishing characteristics and is now available for short periods.
The villa is easy to reach along the provincial road where there is a car-park 50m from the residence or through a narrow road only suitable for economy cars which leads directly to the area surrounding the villa.
The recent restoration of Villa Precious has preserved and partly refurbished the Liberty style which was typical of Lake Como’s villas at the beginning of the 1900s. The paintings on the walls and ceilings, the antique furniture in the bedrooms, the doors and the striking stone staircase all contribute to the Liberty style. While maintaining this style the owners have tried to create a comfortable and functional setting. The kitchen and bathrooms are furnished with modern and practical appliances suitable for any need. The 240 sqm villa built on two floors is reachable from the terrace on the ground floor however the loft is currently not in use. The kitchen is situated to the left of the entrance and is completely furnished and equipped with a kitchen table, dishwasher, five-ring cooker, oven, microwave oven, American fridge and everything needed in a kitchen. The sitting-room is to the right and has sofas one of which can become a double sofa-bed, Satellite-TV with international channels and a DVD player. The large terrace, with a full view of the lake, is accessible from both the kitchen and the sitting-room. Along a corridor there is access to one double bedroom which has a view onto the garden and to one of the three modern bathrooms with shower, washbasin, toilet and washing machine.
A stone staircase leads to the upstairs floor where the other two bright and spacious bedrooms are situated, both with double beds one of which can be split to provide a twin room. Both of these rooms have a full view of the lake and the garden. In the hallway between the two bedrooms there is a small balcony from which one can admire the spectacular view.
The rooms each have their own en-suite bathrooms. Both bathrooms have a maxi-shower, washbasin, toilet and bidet
Thanks to its structure, the villa has an internal temperature cool in summer and warm in winter. Furthermore, the whole house is equipped with radiant floor heating.
The villa has a garden of about 500 sqm and a large and comfortable terrace of around 100 sqm both equipped with every comfort: a gazebo with table and chairs in wrought iron, a barbeque, a relaxing area with an 8x4m swimming-pool, loungers and outdoor shower. Here one can relax in the sun or in the shade and be carried away while on a dream holiday.
Via a pathway by the villa; in five minutes, one can reach Domaso situated below or Vercana which sits above. Domaso is a small typical lake town which provides pizzerias, restaurants, supermarkets, bars, ice-cream parlours and shops. By car, hydrofoil, bus or train one can easily get to Como, Lecco and Milan as well as the nearby Valtellina.
Sport-lovers can choose from several activities: windsurfing, kite-surfing, water-skiing, sailing, tennis and golf; otherwise one can take wonderful walks in the mountains or along the shores of the lake.
