Tucked away in the maze of narrow lanes in the historic center of Pognana Lario lies my house – just 100 meters or a 5–8 minute walk from the main road, yet a quiet world of its own. Como and Bellagio are each just a 20 to 30-minute drive away – two sparkling jewels on the lake, both within easy reach.
The house has a large terrace overlooking the lake, the mountains, and magnificent sunsets. With a surface area of 120 sqm, the house dates from the year 1900 and has recently been renovated. It has three floors, two bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a separate dining room, and a living room.
The living and dining room: Here you will find a large L-shaped sofa and a 50-inch television with mostly Italian TV channels. However, all the series and blockbusters are in English. The separate dining room has a table seating 4. The dining room also boasts a vaulted ceiling and a walkway to the terrace. From there, you can access the terrace by a steep stairway. Note: Children are not allowed on these stairs or the walkway without adult supervision.
The bedrooms and bathrooms: Two separate bedrooms are located on the lowest level of the house. The master bedroom has a queen-size bed and an en suite bathroom with a wooden tub. This bedroom also has direct access to a small terrace, where you can enjoy your morning coffee. In the master bedroom, the original stone floor has been preserved. The second bedroom has two single beds and has been completely redone.
The kitchen: The fully equipped modern kitchen provides a lot of space for you to cook up a nice meal. If you’re in a hurry, there’s also is a microwave at your disposal.

The main terrace: The large rooftop terrace provides a stunning, almost unobstructed 360-degree view of the surrounding area with a great view of the lake, the mountains, and beautiful sunsets. And if you are a fan: Yes, you can see the villa Oleandra, the home of the Clooneys.
The beach: There is a public beach only 10 minutes from the house on foot. The access to the beach, Lido di Quarzano, is right next to the parking lot belonging to “Bar Sonia” on the main road. You will see the stairs going down from there. Kindly only use the beach towels for your visit to the beach. The beach towels are provided in each room. As my guests, you’ll have access to all rooms but one. The third bedroom is private, as I use the house at least once a month.
This is a self service house with keyless access. If you require any assistance you can contact me via your booking chat or on my mobile phone.
