About this property

The Darsena of Villa Sardagna, from 1720 pertaining to the noble villa of the same name, has now been luxuriously restored to allow owners and their guests to enjoy the indescribable atmosphere and unique views of Lake Como directly from the water. Stable originally dedicated to fish farming, used over the centuries as a storage for boats, it is to be considered an open space in ancient stone, crystal and white wood absolutely unique in the Como area. It is equipped with a sun terrace and overlooks the most exclusive panorama of the lake, which ranges from Como to Cernobbio, with the famous Hotel Villa D'Este, from Punta Pizzo to Villa Fontanelle (ex Villa Versace), from Moltrasio to Carate Urio. Nestled between splendid ancient villas and the ancient port of Blevio, it offers guests the opportunity to reach the center of Como in a few minutes and, going in the direction of Bellagio, to visit Torno and the characteristic coastal villages.

Fabulous location.

Loved the idyllic location of this beautiful lakeside property. The facilities were pretty simple, but completely adequate for the period of time we spent there. One of the highlights was the discovery of steps hidden beneath a trap door in the floor that led into the beautiful clear waters of Lake Como. It was fabulous to swim at the end of a warm, busy day exploring all the incredible and diverse towns dotted around the Lake. The longer we were there, the less we were inclined to leave, this place is kind of magical. So if you’re looking for peace and simplicity, whilst delighting in the splendid scenery, this is your perfect choice. My only slight criticism was it’s lack of WiFi, which in a way is kind of liberating, if it were not for all the silly documentation necessary for todays current travel restrictions. However, let us hope that will not always be the case. I personally can not wait to return there.

Amazing

It was an absolutely splendid experience. We rented a boat to use from Click&Boat website. I highly recommend doing that as well. Driving a car in Como is not as pleasurable as driving a boat! Thank you again Sergio for memories of a lifetime.

Very unique / pleasant surprise!

The biggest challenge is finding it! But once you do, this turned into a memory of a lifetime. The host provided clear instructions (we drove, but it might be easier to take the lake water taxi to Blevio), and met us upon our arrival for an intro and to make sure we were settled. Very hard to describe, but it is an old dock converted into a studio room, with plexiglass on 3 sides. A round bed, small deck for outside dining, and even a secret trip door with access to the water and a place to park a boat if desired. Make no mistake, you are literally ON the water, with a spectacular view and unique experience. Our only complaint would be a desire for a softer pillow, but we adapted by rolling-up a provided blanket. I give this place a 5-star review!

Additional information would be helpful

Lovely view, but the following should be addressed: a) directions for the address are critical; we spent over 45 minutes looking, and even the local people didn't know where this was. Finally we asked a local to call the phone number and speak in Italian b) there is a smart TV, but there is no evidence there has been internet; while the TV is not so important, if there will be no internet -- this needs to be made clear, so individuals can decide if they need this or not; c) there should be sheets for the round bed -- while there is quilt to spread onto the bed, sheets would have been more comfortable and protective from mosquito bites; d) need matches/lighter to light all the candles (there are only two lights, none at bedside, -- but there are candles). This place, while truly beautiful, is the equivalent of a hotel room, not a studio -- which would have been a more accurate description. It is a ways out of town, but the walkable restaurant, when open, is wonderful.

The most beautiful experience!

The dock “la darsena” was perfect for experiencing Como at a more self paced timing. Blevio was beautiful and offered authenticity with a local grocery store and bar/caffè with a stunning park with local art to view and the most elegant restaurant with THE BEST FOOD at the Momi.” The people were was so kind and gracious to my lack of fluency in Italian although I tried. It’s location required taking either a bus or ferry to the Como center (the bus was much quicker) You can purchase bus tickets at the grocery store la dispensa cash only or ferry tickets online/upon arrival. As far as activities lake Como artists offered boat rentals and there was nearby wakeboarding/water sports. The hosts Sergio and Michele were very kind, respectful and responsive. I had forgotten my keys a few times and they were able to help me. The driver Adrian was very kind and helpful and got me some espresso before I checked in to la darsena although lacked some boundaries and made me a bit uncomfortable taking pictures of/with me. I didn’t appreciate him just coming in without knocking when picking me up to bring me to the airport either. My overall experience was amazing and I will be recommending this as well as coming back in the future. Thank you so much!
