Why We Selected It

Two Houses Above the Lake, San Siro, context detail

Two separate houses on one hillside plot is the part that is hard to find on the central lake. The main villa holds the family — entrance hall, a living room with fireplace, a large eat-in kitchen with pantry, and a bathroom on the ground floor, all opening onto the terraces, with the bedrooms and a second bathroom above. The guest house, arranged over two levels with its own living area, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms, means visitors, grown children or paying guests never share your front door. Around it sits roughly 700 m² of garden and about 80 m² of terraces built to use the view: pool, jacuzzi, wood-fired sauna, a barbecue area with a pizza oven. The outlook runs across the central basin to Bellagio, Varenna and Bellano.

Life Here

The view

The central basin of Lake Como, with Bellagio, Varenna and Bellano across the water — the stretch most people picture when they picture the lake.

Menaggio

A few minutes away: restaurants, cafés, ferry connections and a full range of services that stay open through the winter, not only in season.

Outdoor living

Pool, jacuzzi, wood-fired sauna and a pizza oven, spread across terraces and garden — the house effectively doubles in size from spring to autumn.

The water

The lakefront and beaches are roughly five minutes by car; ferries from Menaggio reach Bellagio and Varenna directly.

Getting here

San Siro sits on the western shore north of Menaggio; Como is about 40 km south and Milan Malpensa around 90 km by road.

Our Perspective

Why it works

Two independent dwellings, five bedrooms, a private garden and full wellness facilities on one panoramic plot — a combination that usually requires either a much larger budget or a full renovation project.

Ownership case

The guest house lets the property earn without the owners moving out: family use of the main villa, holiday letting of the annexe, or both at different points in the year. Central Lake Como with a pool and a lake view is among the strongest short-let markets in Italy.

What makes it special

Coming out of the living room onto the terrace with the pool below and Bellagio, Varenna and Bellano lined up across the water, then finishing the evening in a wood-fired sauna.
