Explore lake como in comfort and  with our expert guides

Villa Très Jolie is an ideal place to relax and recharge your batteries – tranquil and friendly with excellent facilities. Soak in the whirlpool bath and sit on the sun terrace with superb views. Use the gym, sauna, Turkish bath, bikes, or just sit and admire the beautiful lake!

Set in the Alto Lario area at the top of Lake Como, the villa is surrounded by magnificent mountains which are superb for walking and mountain biking – and Dani and Giulio have over 15 years’ experience of organising special walking weeks where they show off their lake and the surrounding areas on foot. On the days out they give local tips and information and at lunchtime there are meals in traditional trattorie trying out local specialities.

If you prefer to take it easy there are many other things to do – the boats around the lake, gorgeous villages to investigate and, of course, the local markets. In autumn there are the wine festivals and local fairs. Dani is an ex-tour guide and has plenty of advice about what to do. Special diets are also catered for – vegetarian, gluten/dairy-free. We are very pet-friendly too.
