Home Description |
|
|
Villa Marinella has belonged to the same Milanese family over the last 150 years and was used as a summer retreat, to get away from the warm and humid town of Milan during the summer. It is an exquisite home and rather unique as it is directly situated on the waterfront, from every window and the garden, you have a breathtaking view over the lake and mountains, of which you will never get tired. Villa Marinella makes part of a cluster of houses, which surrounds the castle of Corenno Plinio. This castle was built in early medieval times and was a look out post for invaders who at that time travelled by boat from the alps. Due to it specific location on a rock , it overlooks a mayor part of lake Como , the name of the village dates back to the celts and romans. Villa Marinella was built in the 16th century and was interconnected with the castle. To reach the house you have to walk some 60 steps down from the public parking ( comfortable shoes and lightweight suitcase!) Today it has been wonderfuly renovated , lots of family antiques, kitchen and bathrooms are modern, central heating. On the ground floor is a small courtyard, entrance, dining and living room, cosy corner around a hugde fireplace, fully equipped kitchen , small terrace . On the first floor are the two double bedrooms and single room. 2 Bathrooms one with shower one with bath, half bath. From the terrace through the gardens which are on various levels you reach the small strip of rocky-gravel beach . |
