Cottages to Castles, a leading Italy villas specialist, has added a number if stunning new properties on Lake Como to its 2010 portfolio.

(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - 23rd March, 2010 - Situated a short drive north of Milan, the lake is surrounded by majestic mountains and pretty, lakeside towns and villages. Media coverage about George Clooney owning a villa in the lakeside town of Laglio has led to an increase in interest in this area so these three new properties are a welcome addition to the existing Cottages to Castles portfolio.

VILLA LUCIA
Gracing Lake Como's western shoreline, Villa Lucia sits on the ‘golden shore', suitably described for the brilliant sunlight that seeps gently through the Alps onto the calm waters, creating possibly the finest view anywhere on the lake. Reminiscent of the luxury and magnificence of a bygone era, Villa Lucia combines grand yet hospitable, palatial yet comfortable, historic yet contemporary.  The original fresco ceilings, renaissance corbels and neo-classical ballustrading retains Lucia's Italian charm & history.  The villa sleeps up to 10 people and prices start from £32.00 per person per night.
