Apartment Ulivi, nicely located in Domaso, is the perfect place to appreciate the full beauty of the Lake of Como. In fact, there is nothing better than enjoying the breathtaking view directly from the sunny terrace of the apartment or, alternatively, from the spacious swimming pool in the garden.
The apartment( 100 m2) is accurately furnished with a modern style: you are welcomed by a spacious living room (sofa bed, satTV) and a fully equipped open kitchen (four burners, oven, dishwasher, freezer, washing machine). Stairs will lead you up to the attic with a double room and a twin bedded room.
Two bathrooms with shower, another terrace on the back of the apartment and private parking for two cars complete the house.
Apartment Ulivi is the place to be also if you play golf. You would love the golf course of Menaggio, the oldest course in Italy which this year will celebrate a century, where you can play golf also with the owner of apartment, or with George Clooney if you are lucky!

The surrounding area
Domaso is an ancient fisherman village located on the north- western shores of lake Como.
It is a paradise for windsurfers and sailors who enjoy the lake all year around thanks to Breva, the wind blowing on the lake from March to October which guarantees together with Tivano, a mild climate. For windsurf-lovers two of the best European schools are located here.
You can also sunbathe on nice public beaches.
Domaso is also a starting point for day trips to picturesque villages that can be reached by car or boat; Menaggio is 20 minutes far, a lovely place for walking around, shopping, or tasting real Italian gelato. Bellagio is approachable by ferry (“battello”), and in just an hour you are in Como or Lugano.
Restaurants, pubs and shops are on easy reach.

Activities
Every season is worth a visit, because the climate is mild. Springtime starts in April, May and June are warm. In July the temperature reaches 25-30 degrees, but there is always a lovely breeze, a must for surfers and sailing boats. September and October are much loved too and winters, when the mountain tops and the higher valleys are covered of snow, are usually cold but bright with lot of sunshine.

Special characteristics
Lake Como, the most beautiful of all the Italian lakes, the deepest in Europe, is 50 km long. It is an oasis of tranquillity surrounded by Mediterranean bushes and snowy Alpine peaks. Its charme comes both from the small fishing villages on the shore and from the surrounding mountains. The villages have shores with small gravel beaches, pleasant harbours and water sport areas for windsurfing, sailing and water skiing, whilst the valleys are good for walking, hiking, mountain biking, and in winter for skiing. The slopes of St Moritz, San Bernardino, Madesimo, Gotthard are within an easy reach.
Lake Como for centuries attracted visitors, including important statesmen, artists and writers, and its openness to “VIP” has recently been confirmed by the presence almost all year around, of George Clooney, Donatella Versace, Elton John, Madonna just to say some names… who have decided to make this area their own private paradise.
