Villa del Celeste

Description

Villa Del Celeste, Argegno — the new classic on Lake Como
On the most poetic bend of the western shore, Villa Blanco overlooks the lake with the elegance of a stage and the ease of a truly lived-in home. Completely renovated in 2024, it exceeds 1000 m² of indoor and outdoor space, combining contemporary comfort with that suspended atmosphere that only Como can offer: the water that changes color depending on the time of day, the bell towers in the distance, the motorboats that trace lines of light at sunset. It is a refined retreat for up to 12 guests, designed for families and groups of friends seeking privacy, attentive service, and a chic base from which to explore the lake.
The welcome: flower garden, characterful cuisine, lake view lounges
The ground floor is an invitation to slow down. You enter through a garden full of flowers, a soft path that prepares you for the wonder of the windows: a large living room with lake views, comfortable furnishings, and a color palette that dialogues with the tones of water and stone. The dining area seats 12 for leisurely dinners, birthdays, and anniversaries. Next door, the kitchen is the realm of intelligent functionality: refrigerator with freezer and ice maker, dual cooking oven for professional cooking, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, mixer, and induction hob for quick breakfasts and chef-style mise en place. Everything is new, designed with hotel taste and domestic detail.
A discreet guest bathroom emphasizes the “organized home” feel. At the rear, a large garden opens onto a terrace overlooking the lake with an outdoor table for 12: August breakfasts, sunset aperitifs, mid-season barbecues. At the entrance, separate and very convenient, is an annex with laundry room: when traveling with a large group, having a dedicated service space means peace of mind.
Comfort at night: six queen-size bedrooms, morning light, and privacy
Going up to the first floor, the house becomes an echo chamber of the landscape. Four double bedrooms with queen-size beds and lake views welcome the main guests. The tones are light, the fabrics soft, the furnishings simple but refined. The floor has two full bathrooms with showers and a guest bathroom that lightens the flow during peak hours. The heart of this level is the terrace with jacuzzi: an outdoor tub, furnished for relaxation and conversation under the stars, where the steam meets the cool lake air.
The second floor is a “quiet luxury” floor: two double bedrooms with queen-size beds and lake views, served by two full bathrooms with showers. It is the perfect area for those who want a little evening independence, or for a couple with children sleeping on the next floor. Throughout the villa, heating and air conditioning are independently adjustable room by room: truly tailor-made comfort.
In numbers: 6 double bedrooms (queen) · 4 full bathrooms with showers · 2 guest bathrooms · up to 12 guests.
Outdoor living: terraces, greenery, and the lake as a backdrop
At Villa Blanco, the outdoors is like a second living room. The front garden draws the eye toward the water, while the back garden offers a sheltered environment for reading, children's games, or early morning yoga. The main terrace is your private restaurant: 12 comfortable seats, soft evening lighting, and a mise en place that can be transformed—thanks to our team—into a mini banquet with candles and natural table runners. From the jacuzzi on the terrace, you can enjoy the pinkest slices of twilight sky: here, the lake is always part of the decor.
The house that works for you: smart amenities and flows
The 2024 project has put functionality at the center. The kitchen is equipped with the latest generation of appliances; the social spaces are fluid; the separate laundry room allows you to keep the “public” areas always perfect. Independent air conditioning ensures ideal temperatures in every season. Nothing is redundant, nothing is essential: it is that rare balance where the house lets you live without asking for anything in return.
Camisa Essential — concierge, DMC & craft experiences (in the middle of your stay, on request)
In the heart of your stay, when the rituals of the house have become familiar, Camisa Essential, our concierge/DMC for Como and the Mediterranean, enters the scene. It is a tailor-made service, designed to link your stay to authentic experiences, curated with international taste and local savoir-faire.
What this means in practice:
Pre-arrival planning: preferences, intolerances, logistical needs, celebrations. A quick call, a smart questionnaire, and we build a tailor-made plan.
24/7 WhatsApp assistance: a dedicated chat for changes, unexpected events, last-minute requests.
Transfer & boat logistics: private pick-ups from Milan airports; water taxis from the Argegno pier; days out on a classic motorboat (Riva style) or a more sporty open boat.
Private Chef & Breakfast Artisanal: continental breakfast at home with a private pastry chef (from €40 per person) and “chef's table” evenings with menu pairing.
Classic and secret Como itineraries: Bellagio and Varenna in slow mode, Isola Comacina at sunset, Greenway del Lago in stages with tastings, the village of Pigra with a cable car ride and lunch in a high-altitude trattoria.
Wellness & movement: yoga classes on the lawn, massages in the villa, e-bike rides along scenic hairpin bends.
Family friendly: certified babysitting, cultural treasure hunts, children's lake kits.
Table & culture: guaranteed reservations at the most popular lakefront restaurants, private tours of historic gardens and museum villas, micro-concerts on the terrace.
Everything is transparent in terms of costs, coordinated in a single direction, and scalable: from a simple, well-organized transfer to a long “editorial” weekend tailored to your needs. What if the weather changes? We recalibrate — quietly.
Cuisine & moments at the table: from the market to the plate (and back again)
The kitchen at Villa Blanco is designed to accommodate both a quick breakfast and a dinner for twelve. The dual cooking oven allows for different types of cooking at the same time; the ice maker is your guarantee of the perfect aperitif; the induction hob ensures precision and safety. With Camisa Essential, you can request:
Groceries on arrival (pre-stocking): a pantry full of your favorite brands and local delicacies — service at €80/hour.
Continental breakfast delivered to your door by a private pastry chef: fresh pastries, artisanal jams, eggs of your choice, fresh juices — €40 per person.
Private dining: chef in the villa for 6–12 guests, mise en place, service, and final cleaning. Regional menus (Lago di Como, Brianza, Valtellina) or contemporary Italian cuisine.
The outdoor table for 12 easily becomes a stage: tasting dinners at sunset, gourmet pizza evenings, small birthday parties. If you prefer to go out, we can arrange a water taxi and a table on the shore: Como, Tremezzina, the shore of Lezzeno or the embrace of Bellagio.
Daily well-being: a routine that doesn't weigh you down
True luxury is waking up and finding your home tidy. Villa Blanco includes 2 hours of daily cleaning (with final cleaning), so you can take it easy. Upon arrival, you will find a welcome glass of champagne, water, Coca-Cola, beer, and fresh fruit: a simple gesture that reflects our understanding of hospitality.
Extra services on request:
Extra cleaning: €25/hour (ideal for late arrivals, large lunches, linen changes during your stay).
Grocery shopping on arrival: €80/hour as above.
Breakfast with private pastry chef: €40 per person.
If you need emergency ironing, a floral touch for an anniversary, or a small set-up for private photo shoots, just let us know and we will coordinate it for you.
Days on the lake: itinerary ideas (all tailor-made)
Grand Tour by boat: Argegno → Isola Comacina → Villa del Balbianello (exterior and gardens) → Bellagio for a light lunch; return along Varenna and the Lecco shore.
Gentle high altitude: Argegno–Pigra cable car, walk in the woods and house special at a trattoria with lake view. In the afternoon, swim and read on the terrace.
Greenway del Lago: easy stretches, villages, and small churches, with a driver available to take you back whenever you wish.
Wine & taste: targeted tastings in Como and Valtellina wineries, pairing in the villa with a chef.
Design & historic villas: a day of “great gardens” and lakeside architecture; in the evening, cocktail pairing on the terrace of Villa Blanco.
Every proposal comes from you and is tailored to you: the hours change, the places change, but the harmony of the rhythm remains.
Details that matter: amenities, sleeping plan, climate
Bedrooms: 6 double (queen), all with lake views.
Bathrooms: 4 complete with shower + 2 guest bathrooms.
Climate: independent heating and A/C for each room.
Common areas: large living room, dining room for 12, outdoor terrace for 12, jacuzzi on the first floor terrace, front/back garden, laundry annex.
Kitchen: refrigerator with freezer and ice maker, dual cooking oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, mixer, induction hob.
The villa is on three levels: those traveling with grandparents or guests with reduced mobility may wish to consider assigning rooms on the first floor (fewer stairs than the second floor) and managing daily movements “intelligently.” Our team will be happy to suggest the most convenient rooming list.
Argegno, the right address
Argegno is a village that has preserved the rhythm of the lake. From here, you can easily reach all the “classics” of Como — Bellagio, Varenna, Tremezzina, Isola Comacina — using private motorboats or public boats. The beauty of the place is twofold: you are central without being in the hustle and bustle, close to everything without giving up your bubble. For “city” days, Como offers shopping and museums; for those who love to drive, the Strada Regina reveals curves and postcard views.

The last word (before you arrive)
There are houses that simply accommodate you and houses that resemble you. Villa Blanco belongs to the second category: it welcomes you with restraint, pampers you without fuss, and lets your rhythms dictate the soundtrack. In the morning, the lake is milk and mint; in the evening, liquid copper. In between, everything you love: a long table, a dip in the jacuzzi, an hour on the boat, a page of a novel, a cake freshly frosted by our pastry chef.
Whenever you want, we will be there — Camisa Homes & Villas with Camisa Essential — to make sure that every detail is simple, right, yours. Welcome to Villa Blanco.
