Villa Isola Verde, Valsolda, Italy

Succumb to the magic of Lake Lugano, with a sublime stay in this luxury 8-bed villa!

Providing an exclusive villa setting perfect for family groups and corporate parties of 16, this detached lake view villa offers a secluded poolside setting on the Valsolda hills.

Located just 24 minutes drive from the fashionable Swiss lake city of Lugano and also offering close proximity to a plethora of lake leisure pursuits too, the scene is set for an unforgettable getaway.

The villa oozes an effortless mix of rustic charm and contemporary flair. Boasting flexible sleeping arrangements alongside generously proportioned reception rooms, covered lake view terraces, a beautiful poolside garden and staff quarters too, the villa offers a secluded, self-contained setting in which to host and celebrate your special occasion, family holiday or luxury corporate stay.

Internally, rustic beams and exposed stone blend with highly polished flooring, romantic lake view vistas and all the must-have mod cons, across 4 luxury floors.

Air-conditioning provides a calm and cooling presence here in the long summer months, whilst the under-floor heating, central heating and luxury sauna provide an equally welcoming refuge here in the wintertime.

Guests can relax and entertain in style to the principal receptions; found to the villa’s ground floor. Offering a breathtaking covered lake view terrace alongside an elegant dining area for 10 and a contemporary fitted designer kitchen and cloakroom WC, guests can easily unwind and dine away to their hearts’ content!

The far-reaching views across the unspoilt beauty of Lake Lugano serve as a magical dreamscape that will easily keep guests intrigued. Alongside this captivating backdrop, the reception room also promises timeless home comfort; with a sumptuous sitting area for 15 complemented by a flat-screen SAT TV, iPod docking station, music stereo and free WIFI.

The sleek separate kitchen to this floor offers a fabulous setting in which foodie fans and private chefs can easily rustle up a scrumptious morning breakfast or delectable dinner party. All the necessary cooking appliances feature, including an oven, microwave, cooker hob, kettle, toaster, coffee machine and fridge freezer.

An elegant staircase leads to 2 floors below, as well as the upper 1st floor above.

The 1st floor of the villa is home to the principal sleeping accommodation. Ideally suited for accommodating travelling couples or luxury corporate guests, each of the 3 bedrooms on this floor benefit from lake views, a sumptuous double bed, air-conditioning and a luxury en-suite bathroom fitted with a power shower. The principal master suite also boasts a balcony.

The restful and inviting ambience of each bedroom has been lovingly chosen to reflect the elegance and magnificence of the lake and mountain surroundings.

The lower ground floor offers direct access out to the gorgeous sunny poolside and garden; for a carefree summertime layout ideal for holiday enjoyment and swish alfresco entertaining.

A BBQ grill and a second service kitchen are also to hand for added ease. A double lake view bedroom and a child-friendly second lake view bedroom furnished with a bunk bed offer the perfect layout for children and accompanying parents or nannies too. A useful contemporary full bathroom also features this lower ground floor too and is fitted with a power shower and full bathtub (ideal for carefree pool showers or tranquil evening soaks).

A second lower ground floor offers added child-friendly appeal; with its generously proportioned playroom ideal for year-round amusement. A second contemporary fitted shower room is also conveniently to hand.

The villa further offers private laundry facilities and a treasure trove of homely touches, to make you feel at home.

Additional guests or accompanying staff can easily be accommodated to the villa’s outbuildings; which comprise a lovely guest house and a living space.

The villa’s guest house features a 6th bedroom with double bed, lake views and en suite shower room, alongside a 7th double bedroom also with en-suite shower room.
A double en-suite bedroom with a power shower provides a private setting in which to unwind.

Surrounding the unique villa is a private landscaped garden. Offering a heavenly lake and mountain-view backdrop, the lush well-tended gardens provide a true oasis in which to relax, play, socialise, take a dip in the private outdoor pool and make the most of your Lake Lugano stay.

The private parking offers extra convenience, whilst the villa’s charming hillside setting provides close proximity to the boat rental, water sport services, luxury San Marco spa hotel and authentic eateries of San Mamete and Cima. Nearby Porlezza offers a plethora of supermarkets, cafes, ferry links and restaurants to also complement your stay, alongside road links to riding stables, the Lago di Piano nature reserve, the prestigious Menaggio & Cadenabbia Golf Club and of course the resort town of Menaggio, on the touristic central lake of Lake Como (under 33 minutes drive away).

The charming idyll of Valsolda is also very well placed for reaching the cosmopolitan highlights and airport links of Lugano city (24-36 minutes drive away) and the year-round outdoor sports of the Swiss Alps.

The car is essential to reach the property and to move around. Please note that the pool is open from the 1st of June 2024 to the 30th of September 2024

House Great but management is not
What can I say about the setting and the house?? But absolutely stunning. The pics on website don't do it justice. The views of the lake are second to none. The rooms are spacious. Kitchen is sufficient and was able to cook dinners. The location to outings is great too. Only 20 minutes to Switzerland in one direction and 20 minutes to Lake Como in the other direction. Day trips for days. Now what's severely lacking at this house is a manual on how to work things as well as a property management team that is responsive. First, don't count on wifi or any web connection. It was hit or miss the entire time we were there. Which is a major issue when their entire "How to work things" is a You Tube Video page that doesn't load. PRINT OUT manuals. Make it easy to learn how to work things. Second, the hot water went out twice on us. First time took over 24 hours to get a response. Second time was the day we were leaving. Try packing and doing laundry with no hot water and no laundry room. Lastly, the basement game room was a nice addition, but at night it's a bug haven. The bugs are attracted to the lights and thousands show up. We told the management team and they brought us 2 bottles of bug spray and said you guys handle it. Needless to say, my 8 -10-year-old daughters didn't want to go near the room. House setting is great but don't count on the management team for anything. You are on your own.

Avoid this property
This property has amazing potential. Unfortunately, it’s been poorly maintained and the rental agency was extremely difficult to work with. 1) Check in: instructions said to meet at a location where the rental agency point of contact would be to help guide us to the actual property. After sitting there for nearly 30 mins they told us just go to the property. We were slightly late arriving (3pm instead of 2pm), so maybe that’s why they sent us on. 2) Arrival: we arrived and the cleaning people hadn’t finished their work, the pool was filthy, and the guesthouse which contained two of the bedrooms we required was still locked, with no keys left in the keyboxes. Wi-Fi also did not work (and was NEVER fixed) making it difficult to communicate. This caused immense stress as we attempted to get settled but couldn’t until the management agency came back to open the guesthouse around 8pm. 3) Cleanliness: overall the house was mostly clean, but the guest room which was locked upon arrival, had not been cleaned, and when it was cleaned we still found an Ant infestation in the corners of the rooms. The towels they provide for the week are a joke, and we were told that more would be delivered but NEVER were. 4) Bedrooms: there were no fitted sheets, and the mattresses are pretty nasty, so sleeping was not a pleasant experience. 5) The Property: the house itself is beautiful and has massive potential. There is a nice garden, pool, fish pond, and the views are incredible. But given how much they’ve let the interior fall apart, it’s not worth the stress particularly at this price point. As a group we wholeheartedly recommend any other family avoid this property until it’s had immense renovation and a new management company takes over.
