The Authentic Italian Lifestyle Experience:
Taste, Explore, and Unwind

To truly immerse yourself in the authentic Italian lifestyle experience, Villa Wirnica offers a curated portfolio of exclusive activities, thoughtfully designed to embrace the philosophy of slow living. As an exclusive private villa rental, all services are personally arranged through the manor’s dedicated staff to ensure seamless execution, discretion, and absolute privacy during your visit.

Whether you desire a private boat tour to explore the iconic towns of Bellagio and Varenna, a sporting challenge on one of the five premier golf courses located in close proximity, a hands-on cooking class to master traditional pasta making, or a rejuvenating massage in the solitude of our ancient park, every detail is tailored to your rhythm. Make the most of your stay by exploring these bespoke journeys, which elevate your time in the Lake Como Area from a simple holiday to a personalized cultural event, deeply rooted in the noble history of the estate.
Discover the art of well-being: a perfect balance of nature, history, and culinary excellence. We curate every detail of your Italian lifestyle experience, transforming your stay into a personalized cultural event rooted in traditional Italian living and the timeless art of slow living. Allow yourself to be embraced by the silence of our 4,000-square-meter park, where the gentle breeze from Lake Garlate meets the ancient walls of the manor. Here, you can unwind by the historic pool — once a silk drying room — truly savoring the noble rhythms of a bygone era.

Private Garden Dinner

A highly skilled private chef can be arranged upon request to prepare a gourmet lunch or dinner. These bespoke meals can be served in the villa’s formal dining rooms, where the refined 16th-century architecture sets a sophisticated tone, or al fresco in the lush privacy of the garden. Dining outside allows you to fully embrace the Italian lifestyle experience: imagine a candlelit evening immersed in the silence of our 4,000-square-meter park, accompanied by the gentle breeze rising from Lake Garlate.

Wellness and Relaxation

Relaxation is paramount to the Italian Lifestyle Experience. We offer exclusive relaxation and restoration treatments in the comfort of your private villa accommodation. In-Villa massage treatments are available on request, provided by our trusted therapist who can create a personalized private wellness experience. Here, the silence of the ancient trees and the gentle breeze from the lake create a natural sanctuary for the soul. Whether by the historic pool—formerly a silkworm drying room—or in a secluded corner of the garden, the peaceful atmosphere of Garlate ensures a profound reconnection with the slow rhythms of nature.
