The Space

Villa Joy is an authentic family holiday home, a classic retreat once beloved by Milanese families. Nearly a century old, the villa was abandoned for almost 15 years and has now been carefully restored, updating all the electrical, plumbing, and functional elements—like bathrooms—while preserving the original charm of the Lake Como region.

Many people say Villa Joy was the heart of Pognana Lario, thanks to its unique location and special energy. Now, Pognana welcomes Villa Joy back, refreshed and ready for new memories. A place like Pognana, often chosen by top VIP tourists and luxury villas, now opens its doors for exclusive vacations—without the usual luxury fuss.

Inside, you’ll find traditional wooden ceilings, stone details, and original floors that keep the historic and romantic atmosphere alive. Outside, the garden with the distinctive Como Lake stones and mature 100-year-old trees adds to the feeling of timeless beauty.

The villa offers all the comfort of modern life while keeping its familiar, cozy style: a private pool, air conditioning throughout, spacious rooms, and a welcoming layout for families or groups.

With Superhost hosts available to assist you, Villa Joy combines memories, charm, and convenience, making it the perfect place to relax, enjoy nature, and experience the magic of Lake Como.

The villa boasts a large garden with stunning Lake Como views, perfect for relaxing, dining, or simply enjoying the fresh air. A charming stone table sits beneath the “young” cedar tree (about 80 years old), alongside an additional garden table for extra seating. The historic summer kitchen opens directly onto the garden, making outdoor meals and gatherings effortless.

Guests can also take a dip in the private above-ground pool, while parking is a breeze thanks to a garage for one car at street level on the provincial road—no curves, slopes, or stairs—right next to the local grocery store and just 50 meters from the steps leading down to the villa.
