Standing
on the banks of the Lake, Villa Cima is located within the 25 acres complex of
the famous Hotel Villa D’Este’s estate, which provides guests with the unique
experience of marrying the intimacy and privacy of your own home on Lake Como
with the unparalleled services and amenities that only a five star luxury Hotel
can offer.
The
villa was built in 1814 by Caroline of Brunswick, Princess of Wales and future
Queen of England, to house Count and Countess Pino, the Villa’s former
proprietors. The accommodations in this stately 650 square meter (7,000 square feet)
residence are distributed over three floors with 4 en-suite bedrooms.
Luxurious
décor is the keynote in the living room, dining room, sleeping quarters, and in
the spacious, luminous kitchen. No two rooms are exactly alike and each is
filled with antiques and art. The views from the Villa’s spectacular windows
are simply breathtaking and frame memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
Many subtle touches, the utmost discretion, and impeccable service are the
hallmarks of the Villa d’Este Hotels.
A
stay at the Villa Cima is truly the best of both worlds: a private home where
you can enjoy discretion and privacy, yet one provided with all the amenities
and creature comforts offered by the world class service of a Villa d’Este
Group property.

The area of Lake Como is abundant in picturesque towns with narrow cobbled streets, breathtaking views, and lovely homes and gardens, best visited from late spring to early fall. Take a stroll through the city of Como to enjoy its history and architecture, then hop on the ferry and head north to visit other towns on the lakeshore.
However, there is more to do in this area than traditional sightseeing. Visitors can book a flight over the lake by seaplane or take the funicular (hillside trolley) to Brunate and enjoy spectacular views from above. Extreme sports enthusiasts can enjoy paragliding off of Mount Nuvolone. Small and large groups alike can book boat tours with our concierge to enjoy the lake from the water, having fun spotting properties owned by the rich and famous (Donatella Versace, Madonna, and George Clooney, among others).
For the more adventurous, Lake Como also offers water-skiing, wind surfing, and wake boarding. Bikers will surely enjoy the natural trails that lead to the mountains or even hidden pebbled beaches. Go for a round of golf or tennis at one of the many locations across the lake region. Lake Como has something for everyone! With fashion-capital Milan just 45 minutes away, it's no wonder that Lake Como also offers excellent designer shopping.
