Menaggio is six kilometers away, and is a lovely, charming village with narrow streets, shops, restaurants, and a beautiful boulevard which is perfect for a leisurely stroll in the evening. The 18-hole golf course was founded in 1912, and is the oldest in Italy. It's situated on a high plateau from where you'll have a spectacular view.
Villa d'Este is 18 kilometers south of Lenno. The classic Villa Balbianello (from the movie 'A Month by the Lake') is located on the peninsula overlooking the village.
Villa Florines is set back from the road and on higher ground than the road. Its narrowest side faces the road and it is further insulated by the double-paned windows inside. The villa's clever positioning and landscaping give it a feeling of secluded charm.
The house was built in the 18th century, and was recently completely renovated. It's furnished with marvelous pieces of classic Italian antiques; the kitchen and bathrooms show that unique Italian design.
The lush surroundings serve also as a shield from the active road which is a lakeside fact of life. The main entrance is located 15 external stone steps from the gate and two-car garage.
