l’ orto degli olivi

General

’L’Orto degli Olivi’,  - a stunningly located house, slightly elevated, above the western shore of Lake Como. An airy two-floor accommodation in a pink-painted house just to the right of the characterful town of Ossuccio a short 300 metres away. Clients will fall in love with the magnificent views laid before them, from the panoramic windows and doors, as well as the furnished patio/terrace/garden: in the foreground the island of Comacina, and behind, Lake Como’s dramatically ever-changing wooded mountains.

The interior of this three-floor house is divided into two: the upper floor is occupied by the owner and the two lower floors are for our guests. The ground floor’s spacious living/dining room and kitchen area, has panoramic doors opening out on to the glorious furnished terrace with lake views. Two bedrooms, each with their own shower rooms, complete this floor’s accommodation.

The smaller bedroom on the lower level has its own kitchen area, independent entrance, and sitting room with fireplace.

The charming owner, an ex Director of several luxury hotels, can help make your a holiday an even more memorable one by offering intimate local knowledge, cooking courses, dinners prepared for you in your accommodation, escursions and much more.  Further information and prices are available on request and are payable locally.
