Charming Boutique Villa Between Milan and Lake Como, golf and gourmet

Numero CIR 097006-CNI-00001
---
We would like our guests to know that we have taken all the necessary steps to be a safe and clean environment. We are following the guidelines provided by the WHO and CDC, along with our own Regional Regulations issued by Regione Lombardia.
We want our structure to be accessible but make sure it stays clean. It’s a collective effort in which every one of us is involved, from our staff to our guests.
In case anyone would like further information on the matter, we redirect you to the World Health Organisation website and the Regione Lombardia general business regulations.

Immersed in 5 hectares of rolling green lawn and trees, the Villa has 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms (including 2 half bathrooms). Recent renovations have brought the parquet and marble floors to their original 19th c. lustre, and at the same time have added important creature comforts such as a new gourmet kitchen, air-conditioning, marble bathrooms and high-speed internet. Importantly, the owners are available to help you plan your northern Italian visit with bespoke itinerary suggestions and reservations help. Stays of 6 days or more include a mid-week cleaning service.

The large, comfortable Villa, spread over two floors and 500 square metres, is appointed with tasteful furnishings, comfortable beds and pillows and beautiful detailing throughout. The Villa makes up the lion's share of the building; 2 smaller flats used by family and the caretaker have separate entrances.

An adjacent lodge, private to our Villa guests, has ping-pong and foosball tables, in addition to croquet, badminton and bocce sets to play on the adjoining lawn. The property is located on a hill overlooking the surrounding towns and countryside. The locality is called “Poggio Verde” which means Green Hill.

Our recently refurbished swimming pool is a pure pleasure for lap swimmers and children. Shared with family members, it measures an ample 20 meters by 8 meters.

This lovely Italian country villa is ideally located for visitors wishing to explore northern Italy, from Milan just 50 minutes to the south to Bellagio & Lake Como in the foothills of the Alps just minutes to the north.

Outstanding northern Italian dining and things to see and do - culture and recreational - surround our home. At Poggio Verde we take special care of our guests, booking them into our favorite nearby trattorias, farm-to-tables, or Michelin restaurants, suggesting itineraries and facilitating their stay however we can, both before in the planning stages of their visit, as well as during their stay. We are well connected to surrounding service providers and we can arrange extras such as chef services, cooking lessons, a driver and extra cleaning at guests’ request. Please see further details on ilpoggioverde com.

(There is the possibility of 6 additional bedrooms, in an adjacent part of the building; these are not available during the summer months; see the Poggiò Verde Residenza on HomeAway.)

Our goal as your hosts is to make your stay at Poggio Verde as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. We know the area very well and are happy to put this knowledge at your disposal. We are standing by to assist you, even before you come, so that your stay fully lives up to your expectations.

Amazing property
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful home. The house is very spacious and grand, dating back to the 1400s. The property is gorgeous, including a great swimming pool and game room for the kids (ping ping, foosball and bocce). The host was extremely responsive and helpful both before and during our stay. She even arranged a private chef dinner for us one night, which was wonderful!

From the time we arrived until we reluctantly left, it was spectacular. Gretchen is a superb host who had an answer or suggestion for all our inquiries. From day trips, booked events, restaurants, and wine shops, everything was the best. The home is elegant with every amenity you would need. The property is well maintained - wonderful scents from the garden enticed us outside. The lap pool is spotless and was used daily. Chef Maria was the icing on the cake. Our last meal was fantastic. Maria is warm, the consummate professional, and the evidence is in her excellent food. Highly recommend!!

We stayed at the villa for a few days following a two week tour of Italy. The home and grounds are beautiful and relaxing. We had a chef cook a home cooked meal one night and the proximity to Milan and surrounding lakes. We loved the peaceful nature of the home and all the history. I cannot wait to return!

Fabulous property!
This villa just couldn't be any better. It's a beautiful property. So many amenities. Very comfortable. Wonderful bedrooms and bathrooms. We really enjoyed the outdoor living spaces as well. It's the perfect "home base" for day trips in the area. Gretchen was so easy to work with! Thanks for the great vacation!

A Magical 10 days
My family of 9 just returned home after 10 extraordinary days at Villa Poggio Verde. Combining both elegance and comfort, the villa is a magical spot. It has the graciousness of a century old home with the amenities of the 21st century. A fully equipped kitchen. A/C in all the bedrooms. Good wifi. A movie room. Child friendly with toys and a crib. A fabulous pool with floats and toys. Even yoga mats. We prepared elegant dinners that we ate on the stunning porch overlooking the vistas of Lombardy. The villa is perfectly situated for exploring Lombardy and the small towns on Lake Como. If you are lucky enough to rent Villa Poggio Verde, you will experience the same magic we did.
