Villa Emma with breathtaking views of Lake Como

You'll find bicycles on site at this family-friendly vacation home. Jump into your car and make short work of the 28-minute drive to Bellagio Port or the 28-minute drive to Lake Lugano (and enjoy the property's convenient covered onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, unwind in the garden or sip a drink on the deck or patio, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the WiFi, cable/satellite TV, stereo, video games, and DVD player.

As you settle into this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental, you'll find a desk and a printer. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, a bidet, and towels. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a lobster pot. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
