Luxury Villa Rental High Above Lake Como

Villa Peduzzi is available as a luxury retreat with Cameron Avery of PRIMA Real Estate a boutique advisory specializing in the purchase and management of luxury properties in Italy. 

Renting for €48,850 a week in the high season, the property comes fully staffed with a chef team, villa manager, and housekeeping, with a number of bespoke concierge services available to create the ultimate getaway on Lake Como.

This exclusive Liberty-style villa offers some of the most stunning blue lake and green mountain vistas overlooking Lake Como, with no neighbour in site. 

Built in 1909 as an idyllic retreat for the Peduzzi family, an Italian engineering dynasty, the villa was fully reimagined into a luxury retreat in 2016, restored by Studio Andrea Meirana. with interiors by Singapore-based architects Studio Daminato

Studio Daminato transformed the footprint of the Art Nouveau residence, letting the dramatic views take centre stage. Meanwhile, local specialists in terrazzo, marble, and frescoes  were hired to breathe life back into the home, like Gerso, behind the famed restoration of St Mark’s square in Venice. 

Inspired by Scandinavian and Japanese design, the minimalist decor and finishes were softened with creamy hues, handcrafted wood and marble, linen wall panels, and liberal use of hand-woven textiles like silk, wool, jute, and hemp. 

The 9-bedroom villa has been thoughtfully designed for living and entertaining, with two rooftop terraces, a pool house with green roof, and a 22-metre infinity pool. A stunning yoga / wellness room was carved in the cliffside, set high above the Western shores of Lake Como— 881 metres to be exact. 

Set in 4.5 acres of alpine gardens, it is hard not to feel like you’re floating in a dream when you stay at Villa Peduzzi, but if you do need to come back down to earth, a cable car can take you down to the village of Argegno, just 500 metres from the villa gates.

You’ll also find the villa’s private Axopar Brabus boat moored at the base of the funicular, ready for your lakeside excursions. 

Villa Peduzzi was recently on the cover of AD Germany and a number of other publications which cover stories of immaculately designed high-end properties. It’s one of those dreamy and exclusive vacation properties that will have your friends asking “Hey, how did you find this place?”
