Residence with an amazing view of Lake Como

This beautiful residence with 16 apartments in various compositions and a large swimming pool, has a fantastic view of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. I have known the owner for about 10 years: he is currently the mayor of Dongo, an authentic village on Lake Como.

Lake Como

The residence is a little up the mountainside just 3 kilometres from a pleasant village on Lake Como. The northern tip of Lake Como is known for its excellent water sports such as surfing, kite surfing and sailing. There are several sailing and surfing schools, marinas and boat rental companies there. The village has an authentic little fishing port in the centre and a promenade which becomes a kilometre-long path beside the lake. The path is ideal for walking and jogging and at the various campsites beside the lake there are bars and terraces. My favorite terrace is next to the surf school, with wonderful views over the lake.

The surrounding mountains are ideal for hikers, mountain bikers, paragliders, hang gliders and climbers. In the village there are shops, supermarkets and restaurants (also to be reached by a 1.5km footpath) and it’s 12 kilometres to a large indoor shopping centre (Iperal Fuentes). Just 200 metres from the residence in a small village there is a bakery, bar and mini market. There is also a pizzeria with a wood oven from where you have breathtaking views over the lake.

Swimming pool and children's pool

The residence has a so-called infinity pool (12x8 meters) where you have beautiful views of the lake and mountains. There is also a large children's pool (5x2,5 meters) and sun loungers. There is a small playground and a shared BBQ.

The apartments

There are a total of 16 apartments spread over two houses and all with a private terrace or balcony with garden furniture and some also with a little garden. The decor is modern and functional and the apartments are equipped with satellite TV and WIFI. There is also a shared laundry room with washer and dryer and a space where you can store your mountain bike and surfboard. In the basement is also a room with 2 ping pong tables and table football.

In short

Beautiful residence with apartments of various types and large swimming pool with stunning views over Lake Como. Very centrally located at the northern tip of Lake Como near picturesque villages and lively beaches on the lake.
