villa edera

Villa Edera offers a nineteenth century atmosphere, located on the western shore of Lake Como. The beautiful English garden starts at the back of the villa and continues all the way up to the public road that separates the villa from the lake. Not far from the villa there is a large parking and a private dock for boats.
At the villa, located on three floors, seems that the time has stopped; decorated with flowered tapestries, mosaic floors, turned wooden stairs and late nineteenth century paintings create a romantic and somewhat austere atmosphere. All rooms have a small safe and are equipped with air conditioning, Wi-Fi and satellite TV.
The beautiful, fully fenced in, park was born as an English garden in mid nineteenth century and preserves secular plants of enchanting beauty. There are many gardens on the shores of Lake Como born as Italian gardens and later turned into English gardens, but only two of these were born as such; the splendid park of Villa Edera and the park of Villa Melzi in Bellagio. Acorns, redwoods, cork oaks, magnolias, Chilean peaches, Japanese cedars and bamboo are just some of the most beautiful and rare botanical specimens that can be admired in this park. Within this small botanical paradise, you can find a small vegetable garden with several fruit and vegetable trees, at guests’ disposal. In another outdoor area, a safe and secure playground is available for the fun of the youngest guests.
On a few meters from the villa there is a salt water swimming pool with a heated outdoor shower. In addition to the pool, the villa has an illuminated tennis court, a table tennis table, a football table and an American billiard table.
Villa Edera is located on a 90 kilometers from the airport Milan – Malpensa, just over 100 kilometers from Milan – Linate airport and 120 kilometers from the Bergamo Orio al Serio airport. Como is on about a 40 kilometers distance, while Bellagio can be reached by ferry from Griante, only a 12 kilometers distance from the villa.
