You’ll find this 18th-century villa on the eastern shore of Lake Como, a short drive from the old town of Como, home to restaurants and artisanal shops. Outside, you’ll find a large garden with a swimming pool, a patio for alfresco dining and a terrace for sunbathing – not to mention unobstructed views of the water. There’s also a private boat dock here. Inside, the antique furnishings may not be to everyone’s taste, but we think it adds to the charm. With flexible sleeping arrangements, this place is an excellent choice for families and groups of friends alike.

Home truths:
