Lake Como, Dada – Villa — CALL

Imagine elegant living right on the shores of Lake Como with four spacious floors and huge gardens in which to socialise and unwind. This dream is a reality with a stay at the graceful villa, Dada. It's the perfect base for multi-generational family holidays or special gatherings with friends. Eight tastefully designed bedrooms that are true to the villa's 20th century origins sleep up to 16 people in style.

Dada is located in a typically picturesque lakeside village, with Santa Maria Rezzonico and its imposing castle just a 20-minute walk away. Even closer is the lake itself, which can be accessed from the private dock past gates at the bottom of the lawned gardens.

The villa feels luxurious but relaxed, with a homely atmosphere and all the comforts you'd expect. Each bedroom has a king-size/twin bed and its own ensuite. Revel in the quality of hardwood floors and fine furnishings, with high ceilings and lake or garden views creating plenty of space and light. Several bedrooms have terraces for getting even closer to the tranquil waters.

It's hard to decide which of the indoor or outdoor spaces are more impressive. Relax on the sofa in front of the TV or fireplace and sit down to meals at the classic wood dining table. Head outside to the covered seating terrace for morning coffee or pre-dinner cocktails on a sun lounger by the swimming pool. Al fresco meals at the romantic dining table surrounded by the peaceful gardens are a joy. Other leisure and entertainment options at the villa include table tennis, foosball and pool tables. Outside is a tennis court and a play area with swings and a slide for younger ones.
