A private retreat
above Lake Como
A hillside house of four bedrooms and a garden that runs to the water, fifteen minutes above the city yet a world apart.

A hillside house of four bedrooms and a garden that runs to the water, fifteen minutes above the city yet a world apart.
Villa Grel stands on the hillside at Cardina, one of the quiet, gated corners above Como. Three floors, four bedrooms, and terraces where the lake fills the whole horizon.
Room for ten around the garden table, and stillness enough for two on the balcony at dawn. Cars in the garage, dogs on the lawn, and the city a short drive down the hill.
The lake room
The point where the lake divides — cobbled lanes, gardens and long lunches.
A fishing village of ochre houses and a lakeside walk carved into the rock.
Silk ateliers, the cathedral, and aperitivo along the promenade.
A short climb to the balcony over the lake and the ridge trails beyond.
A wooden runabout at golden hour, arranged for your arrival.
Chestnut woods and ridge walks that begin a few steps from the gate.
From Michelin rooms to lakeside trattorie — a reservation is a call away.
The same dates at the same rate you would pay online, only closer to the people who own the house. No service fees, and a direct line for anything you need.
The platform rate without the platform commission — value that stays between us.
Plan your stay with the family who knows the house, not an anonymous inbox.
Boat, chef, transfers and tables — arranged before you arrive.
A private lawn under the olives, a garage and space for every car.
Three bedrooms and the terrace look out over the water and the hills.
Bring the whole family — the four-legged ones included.
A wonderful position over the lake — generous space inside and out, and three bedrooms with an extraordinary view.
Perfect for ten without ever feeling crowded. A lovely big garden and a great view.
Even bigger than the photos. Fully equipped, spotless, and the team were quick and helpful throughout.
