A magnificent 16th-century luxury villa on the shores of Lake Como, ideal for weddings and special events

Villa Pliniana is a unique luxury estate villa in a secluded location on the shores of Lake Como. This historical Italian palazzo from the 16th century, offers exquisite views of the lake and the surrounding mountains.

The estate boasts 18 acres of landscaped gardens and two natural waterfalls for guests to enjoy. There is a boat dock for those looking to explore the waterways, and a private helipad allowing guests to arrive in style.

Intent on retaining its charm and integrity, the property underwent a careful full restoration and has since been updated to the highest standards whilst maintaining the historical details of the original design.

During the restoration, a wellness centre was added in a dedicated spa building on a terrace above the gardens. The highlight of this Lake Como villa is the private infinity pool, which is surrounded glass walls and ceilings, and is supplied with filtered water from the lake itself. The spa also boasts a Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and solarium, as well as emotional showers and relaxation areas.

Indoors, the villa manages to effortlessly blend the luxurious service of a five-star resort with the intimacy of a home-away-from-home feel. Moreover, it merges the traditional with the contemporary, featuring exquisite frescoes and 16th century art and architecture, mixed with 21st century amenities.

Of particular note are the elaborate Venetian terrazzo-style floor designs and the painted wooden ceilings in the two main ballrooms. Another highlight is the piano where Gioachino Rossini wrote the Opera Tancredi in 1813, which still rests in the spot Rossini once sat but is now lovingly restored.

17 luxurious bedrooms are spread across the grounds; there are four large apartments in the main villa plus two separate guest houses accommodating up to a maximum of 36 guests.

Villa Pliniana is the epitome of Italian style, architecture and luxury. Thanks to its extensive grounds and grand ballrooms, this luxury holiday villa is perfect for Lake Como weddings and other special events. Due to its privileged location, it is the only property on the lake without noise restrictions, so guests can carry on the festivities until the early hours!

About the area

Villa Pliniana is located on the southeast shore of Lake Como, in the town of Torno. It is just eight kilometres from the main town of Como and less than one kilometre from Il Sereno and all its amenities.

The property’s private boat dock assures the safe harbouring of boats, ferries and Il Sereno’s custom-designed Riva boat transfers, and the helipad allows for easy connections to Milan and the major airports.

Visitors can explore the picturesque villages and historical sites of Lake Como by boat or immerse themselves in nature by hiking, biking, or horse riding in the surrounding area.

Those wishing for a more gastronomic experience can indulge in the local flavours by attending wine tastings and cooking classes to become a culinary maestro.

    Why guests love our villas...

    A wonderful week at Villa Fe

    5/5

    "The Villa Fe is beautiful and fully equipped with everything one could want for a week or more stay on the Tuscan coast. The on-site staff, Tatiana and her husband, were so charming and helpful with recommendations. They kept the property in tip top shape without being intrusive. We had eight people there (three couples and two singles) and no one had to share a bathroom. The view from the property is gorgeous and the pool is beautiful. During our seven day stay, we ate dinner at the villa four nights. It really was a bargain for the quality of the home, the amenities, service and location. It's two and a half hours from Florence, but not a bad drive for a day trip that was wonderful, but crowded, and then we got to retreat to the solitude of Villa Fe. I recommend it highly and hope that you enjoy staying there as much as we all did."
