Discovered in a state of semi-abandonment, this 19th-century neo-classical villa for rent in Italy was brought back to its original beauty following its purchase from the local priest.

Located at the mid-point on the western shores, this villa for rent on Lake Como is settled just below the imposing 14th-century castle that rises protectively over the historic fisherman's village of Santa Maria Rezzonico.

Soaring above the village of Pigra and built on the site of a former medieval watchtower, Villa Peduzzi – exuding grandeur, elegance and utter perfection – sits on nearly five acres of gardens.
