Beyond the villa there is the garden: the open lawn all around the house, the wooden gazebo where summer afternoons wind down, and from mid-April the hedge of azaleas in bloom, the one the house is named after.
The shared spaces
The living room, the kitchen and breakfast
In the living area you'll find the shared spaces: the living room, where you'll have your own dedicated table and where breakfast is served: tea, coffee, milk, juices, fruit, cakes, cornflakes, bread, butter, jams, biscuits. And the kitchen, where you'll have your own space in the fridge and everything you need to cook: electric oven, microwave, dishwasher and an iron.

On the hillside, ten minutes from Como
We're in San Fermo della Battaglia, up in the hills, surrounded by greenery and silence, and yet Como, the lake and the town centre are a ten-minute drive away. The joy of being away from the traffic without giving anything up.

Everything was extremely tidy and furnished with great care. There were beautiful outdoor seating areas, the beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. An ideal location for visiting Como while enjoying quiet evenings in the countryside. The owner was always kind and helpful.

A lovely place! Beautiful garden, spacious rooms. The breakfast is great too! The owner is very kind and can recommend places to visit. We had a wonderful stay.

The villa's location is excellent, in a residential area, green and secluded. The garden is splendid, with flowers, fragrant lemon trees, peace. The cleanliness is exemplary and the rooms have a homely atmosphere. The internet works perfectly, the beds are excellent and everything in the villa is solidly built.

The best location in Como. Roberto is an exceptional host. Villa Azalea is second to none. This place gives you a taste of the true villa experience. You won't find a better place so close to the city centre.

Villa Azalea is a place where competence, intelligence and kindness meet. All against the backdrop of the great beauty of the Lake Como area.

Everything was really fantastic. A huge villa, comfortable rooms, private bathrooms, balcony, terrace, kitchen, corners to relax in. And on top of that, an extraordinary and friendly host. Superb!
