Enjoying a beautiful, secluded mountainous setting, and just a short drive from the vibrant lake cities, this private villa complex offers the ultimate getaway for large family get-togethers, special occasions and corporate group stays for up to 16.

With its close proximity by car to the tourist hotspots and famous resort towns of Lake Como, the prestigious Villa D’Este and Menaggio & Cadenabbia Golf clubs, the Swiss highlights and services of Lugano and the inviting Italian Alp ski resorts, the setting couldn’t be more suited for guests searching for captivating tranquillity and convenience whilst away!

With its wealth of luxury facilities also on hand for guest’s use, including a private outdoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi room, the setting promises to be exclusive, as well as timeless.

Combining both the style and ambience of Villa Il Castagno (2 bed, 1 bath to sleep 6) and Villa Betulla (4 bed, 3 bath to sleep 10), the private Villa Intelvi complex offers a unique setting for accommodating groups of 16.

With its wealth of exposed beams and character charm, the smaller detached villa (known as Villa Il Castagno) offers an inviting interior in which to relax and socialise. This villa features two stylish living rooms, one to the ground floor and the other to a mansard gallery floor above.

Featuring a high beamed ceiling, ambient fireplace, soft leather sofa suite, an adjoining dining area and direct private garden access outside, the principal living area sets the scene for year-round entertaining!
