Charming Boutique Villa Between Milan and Lake Como, golf and gourmet

Numero CIR 097006-CNI-00001

Immersed in 5 hectares of rolling green lawn and trees, the Villa has 5 bedrooms - each with its own bathroom - and 2 additional half bathrooms. Recent renovations have brought the parquet and marble floors to their original 19th c. lustre, and at the same time have added important creature comforts such as a new gourmet kitchen, air-conditioning in each bedroom and in the kitchen, marble bathrooms and high-speed internet. Importantly, the owners are available to help you plan your northern Italian visit with bespoke itinerary suggestions and reservations help. Stays of 8 days or more include a mid-week cleaning service.

The large, comfortable Villa, spread over two floors and 500 square metres, is appointed with tasteful furnishings, comfortable beds and pillows and beautiful detailing throughout. The Villa makes up the lion's share of the building; 2 smaller flats used by family and the caretaker have SEPARATE entrances and do not have access to this space.

An adjacent lodge, private to our Villa guests, has ping-pong and foosball tables, in addition to croquet, badminton and bocce sets to play on the adjoining lawn. The property is located on a hill overlooking the surrounding towns and countryside. The locality is called “Poggio Verde” which means Green Hill.

Our recently refurbished 20-metre swimming pool is a pure pleasure for lap swimmers and children. Shared with family members, it features plenty of pool furniture and a private changing room for our guests.

This lovely Italian country villa is ideally located for visitors wishing to explore northern Italy, from Milan just 50 minutes to the south to Bellagio & Lake Como in the foothills of the Alps just minutes to the north.

Outstanding northern Italian dining and things to see and do - culture and recreational - surround our home. At Poggio Verde we take special care of our guests, booking them into our favorite nearby trattorias, farm-to-tables, or Michelin restaurants, suggesting itineraries and facilitating their stay however we can, both before in the planning stages of their visit, as well as during their stay. We are well connected to surrounding service providers and we can arrange extras such as chef services, cooking lessons, a driver and extra cleaning at guests’ request. Please see further details on ilpoggioverde com.

(There is the possibility of 4 additional bedrooms, sleeping 7, in an adjacent part of the building; these are not available during the summer months; see "Maddy's Poggio" on HomeAway.)

Our goal as your hosts is to make your stay at Poggio Verde as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. We know the area very well and are happy to put this knowledge at your disposal. We are standing by to assist you, even before you come, so that your stay fully lives up to your expectations. Gretchen Crosti and Judith Wencel
