Villa Felicità

Overlooking the shimmering waters of Lake Como, Villa Felicita is a magnificent private estate where early 20th-century grandeur meets contemporary Italian luxury. Set within manicured gardens and just a short walk from the charming village of Lenno, the villa offers a rare balance of privacy, elegance, and effortless access to one of the lake’s most desirable locations.

Originally built in 1901 by an American Admiral, Villa Felicita has been meticulously restored and refurbished, preserving its neoclassical character while introducing refined modern comforts. The result is a sophisticated Lake Como retreat designed for families and private groups seeking space, beauty, and a deeply polished sense of place.

Outdoor living is central to the experience. Guests can spend slow days by the swimming pool, enjoy a match on the private tennis court, or relax across secluded terraces and shaded garden corners with uninterrupted views over the lake. Pergolas, manicured lawns, and al fresco dining areas create a graceful setting for long lunches, sunset aperitifs, and elegant evenings outdoors.

Inside, the villa unfolds across four generous floors, offering both grand entertaining spaces and quieter rooms for retreat. A formal living room opens to beautiful lake views, while the library and study provide intimate spaces for reading, working, or simply disappearing from the group for a civilized moment. Meals are prepared by the villa’s private chef in the professional kitchen, allowing guests to enjoy relaxed dining without losing the privacy of a home.

The wellness areas add another layer of comfort, with a heated indoor pool, massage room, and modern gym. Whether beginning the day with a swim, enjoying a private treatment, or keeping up with a fitness routine, the villa offers everything needed for a restorative stay.

Villa Felicita features nine elegantly appointed bedrooms, each designed with refined comfort and a sense of understated luxury. On the first floor, four queen-size bedrooms enjoy lake or garden views. The second floor is home to the impressive Master Suite, complete with a round king-size bed, walk-in wardrobe, luxurious en-suite bathroom, and private lake-view balcony. This floor also includes an additional queen-size suite with its own private balcony.

On the third floor, three queen-size bedrooms with lower ceilings create a charming and comfortable hideaway, ideal for younger guests. For larger groups, a 10th bedroom may be available on request in the separate pool house, featuring a queen-size sofa bed and kitchenette.

With its grand architecture, generous gardens, private tennis court, wellness facilities, and exceptional lake views, Villa Felicita captures the timeless allure of Lake Como. It is a refined estate for guests who value privacy, service, and the kind of quiet elegance that Lake Como has been casually perfecting for generations.
