Villa in Menaggio, Lake Como

5.0 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviews

Villa Breakwater Griante

Elementi is a truly unique and magnificent contemporary property, which boasts a dramatic location in the triangle of Lake Como’s three branches, where it sits centrally between Bellagio, Menaggio and Varenna. In 1922 the Cranchi family started its first boat yard in Griante where the family built boats for almost a century. In 2014 the yard went through a complete 3-year renovation to become a high-end luxury villa that was renamed Elementi. The typical characteristics of the industrial boatyard have been preserved and, combined with the incredible architectural design and stunning interiors, Elementi really is one of a kind on Lake Como. The undoubtable character and luxury of Elementi emanates both inside and out, and once one has arrived it really is difficult to leave. With its enviable position right on the lake shore with beautifully finished decking and private boat dock, guests will cherish the luxury of exploring and moving around by boat. Once you have reached Elementi one’s car can be closed safely in the garage and guests can switch off, relax and savour this magical destination. With its phenomenal amount of space, even larger groups will still have the luxury of enjoying numerous many living and relaxation areas be it inside the villa itself or outside on one of the many decks, by the pool or beneath a gazebo with outstanding views across the lake and mountains.

Contrada

Please note that this listing requires a security deposit. Check the House Rules for more information Seashell-pink drapes flutter in the breeze at the floor-to-ceiling windows of this ultra modern Sicily retreat. Its two buildings nestle between tree-dotted hillsides sloping gently toward the sea in the distance, which you can see from terraces both sun-splashed and shaded. Explore nature reserves and unspoiled beaches nearby, and drive 10 minutes to Noto to marvel at its 18th-century cathedral.  Your holiday starts with a welcome basket of breakfast treats, and can continue in the swimming pool, on a lounger in the sun, with a glass of wine under the pergola, or around the barbecue and al-fresco dining table. For more high-tech entertainment, there’s a satellite TV and Wi-Fi, and for your comfort, there’s air conditioning and a washing machine.  On the outside, the crisp angles of this luxury home are broken up by round porthole windows; on the inside, round mirrors and velour textures add softness to the sleek, open-concept great room. Not only is there plenty of seating on tufted sofas and around a dining table for ten, but there are also two fully equipped kitchens.  There are three bedrooms in the main house of this vacation rental, all with king beds, en-suite bathrooms, and a private terrace or balcony. There are also two bedrooms in a separate guest house—one with a king bed and en-suite bathroom, and one with a twin sofa bed and hall bathroom—that’s ideal for a family with a younger child or a couple wanting a honeymoon-style escape.  The villa’s surroundings are quintessential Italy: snug fishing villages, great seafood restaurants, ruins dotted through the countryside, beautiful beaches, and landmark architecture. Visit a nearby nature reserve known as the Grand Canyon of Italy, sample Nero d’Avola (the local red wine), stroll Loggia Beach, and time your visit to Noto for golden hour, when the setting sun glows against the ornate detail on the city’s baroque buildings.  Copyright © Luxury Retreats.

All about Italy

Planning a Vacation in Italy

Whether you’re looking for romance on Tuscany’s rolling hills, adventure on Sicily’s rugged coastlines or culinary hedonism in the heart of Puglia, Luxury Retreats’ vacation rentals promise an unforgettable experience.

A foodie’s paradise

Culinary tourists will enjoy waking up to the aroma of a coffee and flakey pastries, eating their way through the day by sinking their fork into every decadent dish they can put their hands on, and washing it all down with an aromatic digestivo. Sophisticated palates can embark on a deeper exploration of Italy’s many refined flavors with a truffle hunting adventure in Tuscany, or an in-villa cooking course. The best part of Italy’s culinary scene? When your destination’s delicacies include pizza, pasta and gelato, you don’t have to worry about your fellow travelers’ picky tastes getting in the way of a harmonious trip.

A wine lover’s ideal destination

With 4,000 years of vinicultural history, Italy is the choice destination for the amateur oenologist. From its noble reds like Chianti Classico, Barbaresco, Barolo and Brunello, its refreshing whites such as Pinot Grigio, Soave and Arneis and its celebratory bubbles like Asti and Prossecco, there seems to be no limit to Italy’s wine variety. Travelers intent on knowing Bacchus’ homeland will enjoy our luxury vacation rentals in Tuscany, Lombardy and Umbria, most of which are situated within reach of prestigious vineyards.

A living museum

From the ancient artifacts left behind by the Etruscans, to the awe-striking masterpieces of the world’s greatest artists and architects, Italy’s rich history will delight each and every visitor. Step back in time and learn about the Roman Empire and the Renaissance, two eras during which the country was at the height of its political and cultural influence. Make your way to Rome to visit the Colosseum, or to Trivoli to walk through Hadrien’s villa, and imagine what life was like during the time of the Roman’s riveting military conquests. In Tuscany, fans of the Medici clan will enjoy visiting the Plazzo Pitti, the Boboli gardens, and many other places where the family’s political entanglements and Machiavellian plotting once took place.

Il dolce far niente

An Italian holiday is only complete if you’ve taken the time to slow down and truly enjoy the spoils of this generously beautiful country. However filled with organized tours and adventures your vacation may be, we recommend scheduling some time to stroll down Florence’s elegant streets for some luxury shopping, to walk through one of Italy’s beloved Sunday markets, or to sip an aperitivo while watching stylishly clad locals pass you by.
