Villa Fauna Flora Lago: glass pavilion above Lake Como at dusk

A villa on the edge of a nature reserve, high above Lake Como. Renovated in 2021/22, minimalist, furnished with design classics.

The house takes its name from what surrounds it: the plants and animals of the reserve, and the lake below. An old stone house and a new glass pavilion face the water, joined by a stone arch. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms sleep up to six guests.

Its materials are plain: lime plaster, larch floors, exposed rafters, steel and glass. In the garden there are fruit trees, a hammock and terraces for long evenings over the water.

We live here ourselves part of the year and rent the house while we work in Berlin. On request, a private cook prepares dinner in the house.

CiStiamo living

CiStiamo: we are here for you.

In Italian, CiStiamo says: we are here, you can count on us. It is our promise to every guest, and it describes what we want our places to be. Somewhere you arrive, slow down and come back to yourself.

That is why we plan each house as if we were going to live in it ourselves. The fittings are of high quality, the design is considered, the rooms are minimal. We don't choose materials for how long they last, but for how they feel: warmth, calm and comfort.

We are glad when guests appreciate this and treat the house as if it were their own. That is what lets us keep this standard. Not something mass-produced, but a relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful setting, with wide views, good experiences and a noticeably different way of being on holiday.

Questions and answers

How do I get there?

The nearest airports are Milan Linate (about 1 hour by car), Milan Malpensa and Bergamo (each about 1 hour 15 minutes). By train, go to Como, which is about 15 minutes away by taxi. Bus C31 from Como stops in Molina, right by the house. The last stretch to the house is a steep footpath, so travel light.

Do I need a car?

We recommend one, especially at weekends when buses run less often. There is no parking at the house; the free public car park is about 350 m away up the main road. On Thursdays about a quarter of it is closed for the market, so watch the signs. You can drop your luggage at the start of the 150 m donkey path that leads to the house. Around dinner time it gets busy, so park along the street, but never in disabled or neighbours' spaces.

Can I swim in the lake?

Yes. A footpath leads down to the beaches at Lido di Faggeto and the Water Experience Center, 25 minutes on foot down and 40 minutes back up. Down there you find several restaurants, a beach club and two places to rent boats and SUPs, and you can go waterskiing. Beach towels are in the house.
