Villa Mojana : The Lake Como Boutique Hotel That Feels Like Your Own Private Villa
Lake Como, Italy
Between Bellagio’s grand dames and the see-and-be-seen terraces of Cernobbio, the lake has spent two centuries perfecting the art of the five-star arrival, liveried staff, marble lobbies, and a bill to match. Villa Mojana takes the opposite approach, and it is precisely why it has become one of the lake’s most quietly sought-after addresses.
Just 10 minutes from Bellagio in the peaceful village of Limonta, Villa Mojana delivers an experience that’s increasingly rare on Lake Como, the feeling that you’ve discovered a private villa rather than checked into a hotel. With just six lake-view rooms, an infinity pool overlooking the water and a family-owned winery that guests can experience firsthand, Villa Mojana offers a slower, more intimate way to experience one of Italy’s most famous destinations.
Ten Minutes from Bellagio, a World Away From It
Location is doing quiet work here. Limonta sits close enough to Bellagio that its restaurants, ferries and boutiques are a short drive away, but far enough that Villa Mojana keeps its own rhythm entirely. Mornings start with coffee on a terrace with nobody else in view, afternoons can be spent on the water by boat, or simply not spent at all. It’s the best of both worlds, easy access to Lake Como’s busiest destination without having to stay in the middle of it.
A Six-Room Villa Where Every Stay Comes With a Lake View
Villa Mojana offers something increasingly difficult to find on Lake Como, a slower, more personal stay. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere feels closer to a private villa than a conventional Lake Como hotel. With just 6 rooms, panoramic terraces and gardens overlooking Lake Como, everything is intentionally intimate.
• Suite : The Suite is Villa Mojana’s signature accommodation, centred around large arched windows that frame uninterrupted views of Lake Como. A freestanding designer bathtub sits beside the windows, overlooking both the stream below and the lake beyond one of the villa’s standout design features.
• Villa Piscina: Villa Piscina enjoys uninterrupted views across Villa Mojana’s infinity pool and Lake Como, making it an ideal choice for travellers who want to wake up to the property’s most iconic outlook.
• Villa Ruscello: Overlooking both Lake Como and the property’s gently flowing stream, Villa Ruscello offers one of the villa’s most tranquil settings. It’s an ideal choice for those who appreciate both lake views and a stronger connection to the surrounding landscape.
• Villa Darsena: Villa Darsena is among Villa Mojana’s most design-led rooms, with its monochrome palette and contemporary finishes, A black upholstered bed contrasts with a Carrara marble bathroom, while large arched windows flood the space with natural light and uninterrupted lake views. Located on the lower floor of the villa, it also benefits from a private outdoor area furnished with an oversized chair and sun lounger, creating a secluded spot to relax outdoors.
• Rustico Patio: Rustico Patio embraces the property’s rustic character with a vaulted brick ceiling, wooden furnishings and carefully chosen ethnic-inspired textiles. A private teak-furnished patio opens onto views across Lake Como, creating a peaceful outdoor extension of the room.
The Infinity Pool
Villa Mojana’s infinity pool sits above the shoreline, its edge appearing to melt into Lake Como and the mountains beyond. More intimate than the expansive pools found at many of the lake’s larger resorts, it’s designed less for laps than for lingering, whether that’s an early-morning swim, an afternoon spent reading beside the water or an aperitivo as the light begins to soften over the mountains.
With just six rooms sharing the space, the atmosphere remains remarkably peaceful throughout the day. It’s the kind of setting that defines a stay at Villa Mojana: panoramic lake views without the bustle, and the feeling of having one of Lake Como’s most spectacular outlooks almost entirely to yourself.

Radino: Wine From the Family’s Own Vineyards
One of the things that most clearly distinguishes Villa Mojana from other boutique stays on Lake Como is what’s in the glass. The D’Angelo family are winemakers as well as hoteliers, owning Radino, their organic winery in Basilicata’s volcanic Vulture region in southern Italy. Here, they cultivate and produce a collection of organic wines, including Aglianico, Primitivo, Negroamaro, Falanghina, Rosé, Sparkling and Chardonnay, all grown, vinified and bottled on their own estate before making the journey north to Lake Como.
Few boutique hotels have a story that stretches from vineyard to villa quite like this one. Every Radino wine served at Villa Mojana is produced by the D’Angelo family before travelling north to Lake Como, allowing guests to experience the family’s own collection exactly as it was intended to be enjoyed. Whether it’s a private tasting overlooking the lake, a bottle shared over dinner or a glass of organic Aglianico on the terrace at golden hour, the connection between the family’s vineyards and the villa feels genuine, personal and unlike anything else on Lake Como.
Book the Whole Villa
For families, groups or anyone planning a wedding, special celebration or private gathering on Lake Como, Villa Mojana can be reserved exclusively, giving guests the privacy of all six lake-view rooms, the infinity pool, gardens and shared living spaces. Private chef experiences and wine tastings can also be arranged, allowing the villa to feel less like a boutique hotel and more like a private Italian residence.
It’s another reason Villa Mojana stands apart from many Lake Como stays. With just six rooms and an intimate, residential atmosphere, the property naturally lends itself to exclusive use, offering the rare opportunity to experience one of Italy’s most celebrated destinations with the privacy and comfort of your own lakeside villa.
The beauty of staying at Villa Mojana is that it offers a different perspective on Lake Como altogether. You can still spend the morning wandering Bellagio’s cobbled streets, catch ferries to Varenna or Menaggio, or hire a classic wooden boat to explore the lake from the water. But unlike many visitors, you’ll return to somewhere that feels removed from the crowds. That’s ultimately what makes Villa Mojana stand out.
