A wealthy industrial family from Milan built Villa Concetta in 1911 in Argegno. Due to its beautiful location, the panorama from the villa encompasses the headland of Bellagio to the northern pre-Alps and as far as Nesso to the south. Just in front of the villa there is the classic Saint Sisinnio church, a very romantic spot available for Catholic marriages or ceremonies. San Sisinnio church has been represented in a Winston Churchill painting, who painted it from the garden of Villa Concetta. The house and garden were fully restored in 2002, preserving all the ancient details and materials: marble and terracotta floors, doors, ironworks and decorations are original of 1911. Antique furniture, paintings, statues create a very exclusive atmosphere. The garden and swimming pool are fully equipped.

The 1911 Villa Concetta is 1 km from Argegno, a picturesque holiday resort on the western shore of Lake Como. It is set in a sunny, elevated position, with stunning views of the lake, 1 km from the lake shore. The villa sleeps 8 people on three levels and an independent house (the guest house) sleeps 2-4 on two levels.

The furnishings are luxurious and antique. The villa is equipped with central heating, Internet wi-fi, fax, computer, printer, scanner, copier. An alarm system is connected to private security.
