Whether you're waking up to sight of the glistening lake, taking an afternoon dip in the calm waters or enjoying evening picnics on the shared beach as the sun goes down, life at this cosy homestead on the banks of Lake Monate is made for indulgent relaxation. Scenic and serene, you'll want to spend every moment drinking in the exceptional views and mountain scenery, and the two sun-dappled conservatories make that easy. Just pull up a chair, open a bottle of wine and take a breather, watching as the light streams through the glass panes. Better yet, chill out in the lush green garden – there's even a boat mooring if you're keen to venture out onto the water. With antique furniture, cushy leather sofas and a glossy cream-coloured kitchen, you'll feel right at home inside. While the bedrooms are cosy, comfortable and charming, the living areas have a modern feel – think big windows, white walls and mod-cons like a smart TV and air conditioning. There's plenty of room to spread out, so we think it's perfect for a large family or group of friends. Apart from Lake Monate, this villa is also a short drive from Lake Comabbio, Lake Varese and Lake Maggiore. Hop between the lakefront villages when you fancy exploring – each is home to a small assortment of taverns, shops and restaurants – or if you want to pick things up a notch, Milan is just over an hour's drive.
