Situated on the hillside overlooking Lake Como, this property stands amidst a prestigious residential area, overlooking the Grand Hotel Villa D'Este. Originally a convent in 1608, this historic stone house has undergone a meticulous and stylish renovation, seamlessly blending its rich heritage with modern amenities. Boasting contemporary comforts, the residence offers a harmonious fusion of history and technology. Enjoy lake views from this home, located just a 4-min. drive from Cernobbio. The opulent Convent is segmented into three fully furnished independent apartments, each featuring a contemporary kitchen and a private outdoor terrace offering panoramic lake views. This configuration proves ideal for families or friend groups seeking to stay together while preserving individual privacy. Beneath the portico, is a Finnish wooden hot tub with hydromassage spacious enough for 8 guests. Also a spacious table accommodates up to 12 people, perfect for relaxed family or group meals amid the breathtaking backdrop of the lake.
The captivating vistas from every part of the residence are a result of its elevated position on the Cernobbio hillside. The final 30 meters of the access road present a steep and, at one juncture, narrow path. We strongly advise those arriving by car to opt for a small to medium-sized automatic vehicle for added convenience, especially if manual driving isn't your forte. Please note, no vans are recommended

An unreal luxury experience
We booked this villa because we needed several bedrooms for multiple families for a Lake Como wedding. This seemed like a perfect place to relax and take in the breathtaking views of Lake Como, but when we checked in we were absolutely blown away by the location, the friendliness of our host, and the luxury details.
Our host met us at the Villa and walked us through each perfectly laid-out "apartment" which were basically their own homes that were a part of this incredible former convent, converted by a genius architect. This brilliant designer brought old-world charm into the modern era with huge windows and sliding doors - each with their own balcony - that showcased the uniquely beautiful location wonderfully.
I also can't say enough good things about our host. Not only did they help us navigate the winding roads of Como, but organized all our travel up and down the mountain to ensure we made it to our wedding and other events in style with beautiful Mercedes Vans and taxis that could pick us up from lunches and shopping.
The only caution I would give guests staying in their area is to plan rides in advance of activities or to get a car. Taxis are few and far between, so being prepared in the villa with food and snacks (and wine) is a must before you relax and enjoy one of the best vacations of your life.

Gorgeous views and accommodations
We were a party of 8 staying in Cernobbio for our son's wedding at Villa Erba. The layout of the property - 3 separate 2 bedroom apartments - provided the right amount of privacy and communal space. We had shared meals in the main apartment with spectacular views of the lake. The drive to the property is fairly treacherous and not for the faint of heart. The large car we rented to get our group from the airport was not suited to the roads. Jennifer and Nico were so helpful arranging rides, that it wasn't necessary to use the car once we were settled in. They also provided restaurant recommendations and arranged for a private boat tour of the lake. It was an unforgettable stay!

Gorgeous views - beautiful property
We had a wonderful time - we had a group of 8 with parents and 20 something kids - so the three separate living spaces all connected worked really well for us. Only surprise was the hill to get up to the location with little taxi/uber etc service - so we got our steps in ! Also the hosts were extremely helpful with arranging cars etc to get around. The house is really beautiful and well equipped and the views were gorgeous!

Amazing views! Amazing features! Amazing People!
3, 2 bedroom apartments all in one picture-perfect location! The home has the authentic, local charm you want when staying in Italy but with modern amenities. It was ideal for our trip with 6 friends - 2 per unit. Enough space to spread out and have privacy but breathtaking communal, outdoor patio areas to share an aperitif!
Air conditioning in rooms made it even more enjoyable.
The property managers are also incredible to work with and knowledgeable about the area.
Hoping to come again soon!

Amazing Views
The Convent was perfect for our group of 3 couples, which meant each had a very comfortable, clean, spacious living area to themselves. We gathered on the terrace of the lower apartment for amazing views of the lake. The kitchen was very well equipped, enabling us to cook meals on several evenings. How wonderful to have A/C throughout - it was essential in the heatwave. The property manager Jennifer was incredibly responsive and very helpful making arrangements for us. We enjoyed walking down to the ferry (20 mins - longer on the way up!). The Convent exceeded expectations - highly recommended.

Blown away by the beauty of this house and the view
We have never stayed in a VRBO that SO exceeded our expectations. Despite the curvy hair pin narrow roads to the house, this 1608 A.D. 3-story house (a former convent) has the most exquisit, architect-owned and designed garden and furnishings. Every part of this property is gorgeous. Our daughter, an interior designer, was brought to tears by the beauty, attention, and careful design of every detail.
We were greeted by Jennifer and Nico who met us on the road to the house. Jennifer gave us excellent instructions and shared all the perks and surprises with the house, while Nico chauffeured to the parking pad.
The house with it's breath-taking views is more beautiful in person. HIGHLY recommend!!!

Tempo bruto, ma buona vacanza
Nostra vacanza era molto bene, perche le viste della casa sono splendide e la casa e molto pratica. L'appartamento grande era perfetto per mangiare tutti insieme (11 persone). Grazie
