About Villa Giuseppina

Villas do not come much more exclusive or elegant than Villa Giuseppina. There are many accommodating jewels in Lake Como’s scenic crown but this exquisite house certainly sparkles very brightly. The rare retreat has hosted royalty and VIPs in complete discretion since 1888. Today this legendary home, having undergone a multi-million pound refurbishment by Milan fashion house Etro, is available to private guests.

Villa Giuseppina sits right on the edge of the water, just across from the fairy tale village of Bellagio. The location is completely private, set in a vast parkland with flowered gardens, manicured lawns and a profusion of precious trees and plants. The centrepiece overflow infinity pool appears to melt into the receptive lake and large terraces offer panoramic views that are enough to make you forget the delectable fare before you as you dine al fresco. But these are just the tip of the style iceberg here.

The villa’s graceful Belle Epoque exterior gives way to an opulent Liberty interior, laced with splashes of Art Deco and lashings of contemporary comforts. The resulting effect is grand enough to feature regularly in the glossies such as Vanity Fair and Harper’s Bazaar.

Villa Giuseppina has discrete staff, trained to five-star hotel standard, who will take care of your every need. For an unforgettable taste of luxury and a chance to live like royalty, Villa Giuseppina is without equal.
