This villa sits above the lake in Pognana Lario, a small group of houses nestled on a hill, 12 km northeast of Como. Built during the turn of the last century, Villa Luna has a beautiful garden and boasts wonderful views of the lake.
To reach Villa Luna, you have to park your car on the road above and need to walk approx. 200 m downhill on a path with many steps (365 steps - yes, we counted them). The lake is then further 100 m downhill (254 more steps). The steps are quite steep and made of cobbled stone, so this property is not suitable for elderly guests or anyone with walking difficulties. Once on the shore you will find a small harbour and a landing stage for ferries, which stop in summer once or twice a day. Walking along the lake shore, you will find after 150 m a place where you can enter into the water; in summer, only when the water level is lower, there is even a very small gravel beach.
Pognana has a grocery store, a post office and a bar. The next restaurant is a 10-minute walk away. The well-tended vacation resort 'La Cava Club' (open only in summer) is also a 10-minute walk from the house (approx. 800 m), and has a tennis court, boat hire, swimming pool (with baby pool) and a breakfast bar. The bus stop for Como is directly in front of the bar of Pognana. The bus ride to Como takes approx. 30 minutes. A visit to the smart town of Como is a pleasant contrast to the peace and tranquility of the villa. In Como, famous for its production of fine silk, elegance surrounds you: beautiful architecture, elegant shops and stylish, wood-panelled cafés and restaurants and of course several museums await your visit. Como has a railway station from where you can take a quick train ride to Milan. Visit Bellagio (18 km), known as the pearl of the lake and considered one of the most beautiful towns in all of Europe, or make a daytrip to Tremezzo or Lugano in Switzerland.
