Escape to a private-park setting directly on Lake Como at Villa Batell. Nestled in the grounds of the romantic Clos de Mur, this waterfront vacation rental is a secluded, historic retreat with neoclassical elegance and six suite-style bedrooms. Reserve this luxury property for a milestone birthday or anniversary celebration with family and friends, or a stunning destination wedding with some of Italy’s finest scenery as the backdrop.

The villa can be accessed by helicopter, seaplane, boat or car. There’s also a 40-horsepower speedboat and 5-horsepower fishing boat for guests’ use, and parking and a dock are shared with the neighboring Villa Front Lake (https://www.luxuryretreats.com/vacation-rentals/italy/lake-como/como/villa-front-lake-119418). Your holiday includes the services of a cook, butler and housekeeper, leaving you free to enjoy the views from the lakefront terrace and al-fresco dining area or stretch out in a lounger by the pool. Inside, a grand piano and fireplace speak to the refinement of days gone by, while a satellite TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning and an elevator place the property firmly in the modern age.

The stately, spacious interiors of this historic home are framed by classic features like terrazzo floors, painted ceilings, crystal chandeliers and delicate moldings. Open the French doors in the great room and let the scent of the flowers in the villa’s garden waft over the sitting and dining areas. Though cook service is included in your stay, there is a fully equipped kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances.

Villa Batell has three bedrooms on each of the two upper floors. On one floor, you’ll find a queen bedroom with a private hall bath, queen bedroom with en-suite and lake views, and a king bedroom with its own en-suite and lake views. The three bedrooms on the top floor all have king beds; one has a private bath and the other two have en-suites and lake views.

Spend your stay simply relaxing by the lake or exploring the area. The domed Como Cathedral is only a 6-minute walk from the villa and makes for a pleasant stroll, and the shops and restaurants of downtown Como are only a short drive away. Visit the local churches and villas, settle into a café to watch boats ply the lake, or choose one of the five-star restaurants for a honeymoon-worthy dinner.
