Villa Elena – Panoramic Lake View Villa with Garden, Terrace & Hot Tub, Menaggio Villa Elena is a bright and modern villa set in a beautiful hillside location just 5 minutes’ drive above Menaggio, one of the most charming towns on Lake Como. The property offers privacy, tranquillity, and magnificent open views of the lake, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing stay. The villa is filled with natural light thanks to large panoramic windows facing the lake in the kitchen, living room, and main bedroom. The spacious outdoor area includes a large terrace, a private garden, and comfortable spaces for dining and relaxing, allowing guests to fully enjoy the surroundings. The house is fully equipped for a comfortable stay. The modern kitchen includes all necessary appliances, cookware, and tableware. Bed linen, fresh towels, and basic essentials such as soap are provided. Guests also have access to a washing machine, hairdryer, iron, and ironing board. During the warmer months, guests can enjoy outdoor dining with a barbecue, while in the colder season the fireplace adds a cozy atmosphere to the living space. A private hot tub is available seasonally. Please note that it is typically closed from mid-October until early April, although opening periods may vary depending on weather conditions and occupancy. The property offers easy on-site parking for up to two cars. Villa Elena is ideal for guests who appreciate space, privacy, and a peaceful environment, while remaining close to the lake, restaurants, and local attractions. Due to its hillside location, a car is recommended for a comfortable stay. This is a place to slow down, enjoy the view, and experience Lake Como in a relaxed and authentic way.
My name is Ksenia, and I am working in the hospitality business since 2017. and I truly enjoy hosting because it allows me to connect with people from all over the world and different cultures. My goal is always the same — to make every guest feel welcome, comfortable, and at home. As an experienced traveler myself, I understand what really matters during a stay. I focus on clear and efficient communication, quick problem-solving when needed, and providing a smooth and stress-free experience from arrival to departure. Managing holiday homes also means balancing the needs of guests and property owners — a dynamic and sometimes challenging process that I approach with professionalism, flexibility, and attention to detail. In addition to hospitality, I teach yoga and have a strong interest in psychology and personal development. I recently completed a coaching program, which further helps me in communication and understanding people. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, cooking, dancing, snowboarding, and freediving. I appreciate good food, good wine, and meaningful conversations — but I’m just as happy spending a quiet evening with a book. I’m also a mother, which naturally shapes my approach to hosting — attentive, responsible, and caring.
Menaggio is considered one of the most desirable and picturesque areas of Lake Como — together with Varenna and Bellagio forming the famous “Golden Triangle” of the lake. Known for its sunny exposure, elegant atmosphere, and postcard-perfect scenery, it offers a refined yet relaxed Italian lifestyle. The house is ideally located just a 5-minute drive from the center of Menaggio, where you can easily take a ferry or private boat to explore other iconic destinations around the lake. The area is also close to some of Lake Como’s most famous landmarks, including Villa Carlotta with its beautiful botanical gardens, and Villa del Balbianello — one of the most breathtaking and iconic villas on the lake, renowned for its spectacular gardens and panoramic views. Menaggio offers a perfect mix of nature and convenience. Within a few minutes, you can reach beaches, beach clubs, and scenic lakeside spots ideal for swimming and relaxing. The area is also rich in walking and hiking routes, from easy lakeside strolls to more panoramic mountain trails. A wide selection of restaurants, cafés, and bars is available nearby — from traditional Italian trattorias to more refined dining options — allowing you to fully enjoy the local cuisine and atmosphere. At the same time, the elevated position of the villa ensures a quieter and more private setting, away from the busiest tourist areas. Here, you can truly slow down and enjoy fresh air, stunning views, and a more authentic rhythm of life. Please note that the property is located on a hillside. While walking to nearby areas is possible (approximately 15–20 minutes), the return is uphill. For this reason, having a car is recommended for a comfortable stay and to explore the area freely. This location is ideal for guests who want to combine natural beauty, iconic destinations, and a peaceful, high-quality stay on Lake Como.
