Description

Glimmering on the bank of Lake Como, Villa Irena celebrates the timeless beauty and seductive surroundings of this notable Italian destination. As the largest private residence on the lake, occupying over two hectares to acres, its prime position and place in history make it a formidable place to stay, whatever the occasion. As you enter the property, pristine lawns and oversize Cypress trees rise up to greet you from its gated entrance – or private pier for those arriving by water. The gardens and boathouse are immaculately presented, complete with a boathouse and pool with outdoor space for up to 200 guests.

Like something out of ‘Succession’ the stately home is equally as grand inside. Decorated in rich tones of red and gold, there are six sumptuous suites for slumber complete with marbled bathrooms, with further rooms in its private wing to accommodate small to medium-size parties. The property retains its 16th century charm with spectacular pieces sourced from Sotheby’s and Christies, especially the grand hall entrance; the perfect statement room for reception drinks. At Irena, it’s all too easy to lose days to boating on the lake, seaplane rides over the Lombardy region, and gentle walks into its cobblestone town, in this charming way of life. No wonder they all it la dolce vita!
