Villa Colombo
5 Bedrooms — 10 Guests
A stunning 18th-century lakefront villa with a private dock, swimming pool, and verdant gardens
Set right on the shores of Lake Como, the four-bedroom Villa Colombo effortlessly combines timeless architectural heritage and high-end luxury living. Framed by the dramatic, soaring peaks of the Lombardy Alps and surrounded by lush, cypress-lined gardens, this historic estate offers an unforgettable backdrop for family reunions, milestone celebrations, or exclusive corporate retreats.
Whether arriving via the tree-lined pathway or the wooden Riva boat to the villa’s waterfront entrance, guests are struck by this 18th-century villa’s grand presence, with its distinct yellow facade, imposing viewing tower, and 300 metres of lakeshore. Its grounds unfold across private landscaped gardens featuring ancient olive trees, vibrant hydrangeas, and fragrant citrus groves.
A broad stone terrace offers panoramic views stretching across the calm waters. Plush outdoor seating and a shaded dining table offer plenty of space to socialise with loved ones. Throughout the gardens, various seating areas are tucked away, providing tranquil pockets for quiet contemplation.
On the garden’s lower level, a beautifully tiled swimming pool is surrounded by a paved deck. It offers a place to cool off before lazing on a poolside lounger and soaking up the views. At the far end of the gardens, a floating pontoon is the perfect place to dive into the lake’s sparkling waters or make use of the villa’s kayaks and paddleboards.
Indoors, the villa spans 760 square metres across four floors. On the ground floor, a bright and spacious entrance hall leads to the open-plan living area. Here, a cosy lounge and elegant dining space beneath statement lighting are separated by a fireplace wall. The adjoining professional-grade kitchen is fully equipped for preparing delicious feasts.
From 2027, the villa’s basement level will include a TV and games room providing entertainment for all ages, plus a double sofa bed, allowing it to be turned into an additional bedroom for larger groups.
The villa offers four spacious bedrooms for up to eight guests. A master suite and two spacious guest bedrooms are located on the first floor, all offering terrace access. On the top floor, a second master suite features a dressing room, a private lake-view balcony, a private roof terrace, and direct access to the viewing tower. From 2027, the ground floor will feature an additional double bedroom with a private bathroom.
Whether savouring sunset aperitifs on the terrace, cruising the lake aboard a private speedboat, or simply unwinding in total seclusion, Villa Colombo offers an extraordinary retreat on the shores of Lake Como.

About the area
Villa Colombo is located on the lakefront in Nesso, Lake Como. Tucked midway along the picturesque eastern shore between Como and Bellagio, Nesso is an authentic historical town defined by dramatic natural beauty and peaceful exclusivity.
Just steps from the villa lies the Orrido di Nesso, a striking natural gorge where two mountain streams converge into a roaring 200-metre waterfall that cascades straight into the lake. Spanning the mouth of the gorge is the historic Ponte della Civera, a double-arched medieval stone bridge that provides an iconic setting for sunset photos.
Nesso comprises a labyrinth of winding stone stairways, ancient terracotta-roofed cottages, and quiet waterfront piazzas. Active visitors can hike along the historic Antica Strada Regia mule track, while food enthusiasts can savour freshly caught lake fish paired with fine Lombardy wines at intimate waterfront trattorias.
