Villa La Dolce Vita is the ideal property for an exclusive holiday with family and friends. Located at Vassena, a charming village a few kilometres from busy Bellagio that extends from the lakeshore to the hills above where you have a marvellous view of the Alpine Grigne mountain and its spectacular sunsets. Vassena is a small peaceful village, with a Post Office, bank, grocery shop, pharmacy and a newsagent. Two minutes on foot and you come to the lakeshore, where you can go by ferry or private boat to visit Como, Lecco, Bellagio and all the hidden treasures on the lake. What’s more, near the landing stage, there is the quaint medieval church of St Nazaro & Celso. The Villa has three floors all tastefully furnished with antique furniture that reflects the elegance of a historical residence, but at the same time is contemporary, with an outdoor heated swimming-pool and solarium, all surrounded by manicured lawns so you can be assured of complete privacy.

My name is Lesley, I was born and bred in the English Lake District. I am a very friendly lady and love meeting new people from around the world. I travelled all around Australia as a girl and remained there for 6 yrs. I came to Lake Como on holiday to visit my sister who had emigrated here, and I just fell in love with this beautiful part of the world. I have now been here for 23 yrs and is where I call home. My daughter is now 20 and I have 3 nieces and nephew, and my sister lives close by. I have a good group of English and Australian friends, we consider we are ‘the foreign wives club’ ha! I still love to travel and am very lucky that I get to spend two months of the winter travelling all over the world. I also love to be outdoors as much as possible, I love walking up the mountains. Especially as there are some beautiful walks near the house. I also live very close by so if you need anything I’m just a hop skip and a jump away, please don’t hesitate to contact me. My husband is the owner of the beautiful Ristorante la Punta which, is highly recommended while visiting Bellagio. I hope you enjoy my home as much as I do!
