A Season Away is the ideal solution for someone who has the time and desire to truly experience the life and customs of a country. More than the usual villa rental, it is designed to help you be comfortable and at home in your selected environs, such as the Bellagio area of Lake Como.

Their VillaHost concept is more than a meet-and-greet service. He or she is on hand 15 hours the first week and ten thereafter to not only familiarize you with your surroundings, but introduce you to local vendors, suggest itineraries, keep you apprised of local events, be there for special requests and help resolve any problems you might have with the villa property. The VillaHost becomes your friendly connection to the community.

A Season Away has chosen the best of the best villas and apartments, and their local hosts (their so-called “secret sauce”) are well-educated and well-versed in the local regions. I believe that the entire concept of extended stay holidays including exception exceptional  local experiences and the services provided by A Season Away are of the highest quality... their attention to every detail let me know it was my “time” to learn, grow, smile, feel blessed, and enriched.

The fog was so heavy we had zero visibility, enveloping us in a thick mystical experience... as we departed on our boat ride from our villa on Lake Como to Bellagio. But on our return "home" the sun was shining and we were out on deck experiencing the most magnificent Italian Lake vistas. I wanted the journey to last forever... it was a timeless moment...
