Villa Cira

A panoramic 30-minute drive from Como, along the stunning shore of the most iconic Italian lake, Cira is a contemporary villa that combines comfort, style and a stunning location. This pieds dans l’eau property stands apart for its unique characteristics, the traditional stone structure and the original and colorful interiors and intriguing accents. The sprawling private garden (more than 16,000 sf) spreads along the shore and offers direct access to the water by a private gate. Cira is an intimate villa, infused with sunlight and granting picture-perfect water views and it is waiting for you to indulge in its delights.

The uber-modern sitting room features sleek sofas with sculptural silhouette, a double-side open stone fireplace, and the parquet floors add warmth to the space. The secret weapon in this room however is the hyper-crisp lime green wall which adds vibrancy and panache to the room. Two picture windows facing the lake let the restorative sunlight in. A generous opening leads to the open floor kitchen/dining room. It is a delight having breakfast here, or enjoying the meals all together. The space is flooded with natural light coming through the skylight and the windows. Two wooden tables joined together can seat up to 10 guests, if separated they double as work/play surfaces if needed.

One of the real pleasures of this villa is enjoying its outdoor space. The large manicured lawn shaded by olive and cypress trees is an oasis of tranquillity while you marvel at the unrivaled water views. You can also dine al fresco under the panoramic loggia where the ever-changing scenery of the lights of the cruising sail boats caresses your senses. Besides sunbathing, you can certainly swim in the water in front of the villa, and for the guests who desire to have the services of an equipped beach establishment they can find it at walking distance from the property.

Cira is where traditional and contemporary live in perfect harmony. This charming villa reflects the ideal lake living where you can enjoy the romantic combination of water and mountains. If you do not wish to drive, the closest bus stop is just 100 meters from the property.
