Integrated into the picturesque and largely car-free mountain village of San Martino above Rezzonico is the quaint and tastefully restored natural stone house Rustico Antico with fantastic lake and mountain views and a beautiful open garden about 500 metres above Lake Como. The rustico is surrounded by simple village houses. The garden has two levels: At the entrance to the house, the covered seating area at the holiday home has a play and relaxation area. The access path at the rustico connects with neighbouring houses and divides the garden. Sheltered from the wind and covered, your terrace with dining table offers a view of Lake Como and the surrounding green idyll. Down the natural stone steps, there is another relaxation area with a sofa and sun loungers with a large parasol. In the Locanda, a village restaurant on the small piazza, you can meet for an aperitif or enjoy your dinner with a view of the sea of lights over Lake Como. The rustico has antique terracotta tiles on the first floor and in the bathroom, as well as elaborately renovated wooden floorboards in the bedrooms in the attic area with open roof beams. The furnishings are a mixture of modern comfort and antique elements. Exposed stone walls alternate with plastered walls in warm Mediterranean colours. The history of the house is lovingly combined with the needs of the discerning individualist. The holiday home is situated on a slope with access via a stone staircase from the garden to the first floor: The outside staircase leads directly into the farmhouse kitchen, which has been carefully renovated and fitted with modern equipment, as well as an eat-in kitchen with a windowed fireplace and large dining table.
