About Villa Christine

Nestling on the hillside above Lake Como within a verdant parkland is Villa Christine. Standing 700 metres above sea level, this charming five-bedroom family villa is the perfect Italian retreat.

Located close to the beautiful town of Bellagio, Villa Christine offers panoramic views over the shimmering lake towards the snow-capped mountains. Its lofty location provides a cool retreat in summer. Despite its seclusion, the villa is within walking distance to the restaurants of Civenna.

You can enjoy alfresco dining on the sun terrace or take a dip in the heated pool. During the colder months, huddle around the indoor fireplace. A TV room, wine cellar, and wood-panelled library add to the villa’s homely appeal.

Villa Christine is decorated with beautiful bespoke furniture and artwork collected by the owner. On the first floor is a fully equipped Mediterranean-style kitchen that flows out into the garden. The light and airy en-suite master bedroom overlooks the lake. There are also two double bedrooms painted in pastel colours.

On the lower floor, you will find the warm and welcoming living room bathed in light from the huge windows along with the remaining bedrooms. The spacious veranda overlooks a winter garden.
