Exquisitely situated on the southwestern shore of Lake Como within a beautiful gated private park, Villa Maria Taglioni and its adjacent sister property, Villa Serena, were once owned by a celebrated Swedish ballet dancer and have hosted distinguished guests such as Bellini, Rossini, and Franz Liszt. Recently restored to its 19th-century grandeur, the villa accommodates up to 14 guests in luxurious surroundings, or smaller groups can rent individual villas.
Today, Lake Como remains a favored retreat not only for renowned artists from La Scala to Hollywood icons like Luchino Visconti, Stephen Spielberg, and George Clooney, but also for many of Italy’s and Europe’s elite families. Villa Maria Taglioni provides direct access to various transportation options. Guests can park securely in the villa’s underground parking and enjoy rental boats or convenient water taxis from the dock, connecting to destinations like Villa d’Este and the charming lakeside villages.
Moreover, guests can contact the International Como Aeroclub, located three miles away, to arrange seaplane taxi services directly from the villa’s boat dock. This includes scenic tours of the stunning alpine lake or exclusive commuting options using a 10-seat turbine Cessna Caravan seaplane to destinations such as Saint Moritz, Venice, Capri, and more.
