Overlooking Lake Como, this quintessentially Italian house caught our eye for its fantastic views. The outdoor space may not be huge, but the dramatic vistas of the lake and surrounding mountains certainly make up for that. What’s more, they can be enjoyed from every room in the home, as well as from the poolside. Located in the pretty hillside village of Moltrasio, with its lakeside cafes, steep streets and small harbour, holidays here are all about taking it easy and enjoying the spectacular scenery.

Home truths:
*If you’re travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot and a highchair on request
*The pool is unfenced so children will need to be supervised at all times
*While one of the bathrooms isn't pictured, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home
*Parking is available at the villa – please ask your host for details
*There are stairs to climb here and the surrounding area is steep, so it won’t be the best option for those with limited mobility
