About the area

Villa Malakoff overlooks the stunning Lake Como, which has been a popular retreat for aristocrats and the wealthy since Roman times. The region offers many art and cultural gems as well as interesting villas and palaces (such as Villa Olmo, Villa Serbelloni and Villa Carlotta) that are worth visiting.

There are plenty of activities and sports available in the area from gold and tennis, to horse riding and biking, to windsurfing and kayaking, to name but a few.

To tour the lake, a ferry service connects to all the lakeside towns; alternatively, boats and motorboats with a private crew may be hired.
