Pool On the Lake, Villa d’Este

A Masterpiece on the Water

Suspended on the waters of Lake Como, this floating pool is as breathtaking as its surroundings. Swim where elegance meets engineering.

Among the three luxurious heated pools, the floating pool on Lake Como stands as the crown jewel—a truly iconic and ambitious creation.
For over 30 years, this extraordinary pool has seamlessly blended cutting-edge technology with timeless elegance, respecting the breathtaking natural landscape. Situated directly in front of the villa, it holds an impressive 45,000 liters of water and offers a safe and spacious haven for swimmers. The pool is accessed via a charming walkway and rests on a teak perimeter platform adorned with a sophisticated painted wood balustrade. Its design is a testament to both innovation and the enduring beauty of Villa d’Este.
