Bridgewater Travel has launched their new luxury programme of Italian holidays. Amongst the catalogue of what are described as “the finest Italian accommodation in the most exclusive locations,” is the Villa Vista sul Lago on Italy’s majestic Lake Como.
Como is widely regarded as Italy’s most beautiful lake and one of the world’s most glamorous locations. It has been popular with the wealth and aristocracy since Roman times. Today, the likes of Madonna, George Clooney and Sylvester Stallone own villas in the area.
Lake Como’s natural beauty has enthralled Hollywood. Ocean’s Twelve, Casino Royale and Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones are just some of the major movies to have had scenes filmed by the lake.
An elegant and historic retreat, the Villa Vista sul Lago benefits from magnificent lake views, a beautiful private swimming pool and formal Italian gardens (considered to be the most beautiful on Lake Como). It is one of Italy’s national monuments. Built in the 1700s by a famous Count who was granted the property by a northern Papal family, many famous residents have passed through its doors, including some of Italy’s most renowned opera writers.
