Villa Sul Lago DI Como

800 sqm villa on Lake Como, fully renovated with Lake View. In one of the most beautiful valleys of the province of Como, this villa for sale of 800 sqm with a park of 3000 sqm stands. The villa is located on the border of Argegno, in the Intelvi Valley, which connects Lake Como with Lake Lugano in Switzerland. It was built in 1766 by an Austrian aristocratic family and was named after the owner Countess Gina, who later became the protagonist of Stendhal’s novel ”The Charterhouse of Parma.” At the end of the 19th century, the villa came into the possession of the family of the famous Italian artist Baldassare Longoni, whose paintings are preserved in the villa; the central street of the ancient village of Dizzasco, where the Villa is located, is named in his honor. In 2011, Villa Gina was completely restored, the original stuccos and ceilings were rebuilt, the floors were replaced with handmade tiles and rare types of marble, no longer existing. Now the walls are decorated with frescoes in the ancient Italian technique of graffiti, the work was commissioned to the famous master, who is normally and exclusively engaged in the restaurant of architectural monuments. The hall and the small living room are decorated with handmade wallpaper, whose original stamps are now protected by UNESCO and date back to the early 17th century. The fireplace room and all the bedrooms are decorated with natural silk boards produced by the best family manufacturers of Lake Como. The 18th-century MURANO chandelier adorned the Chinese Embassy in Paris (a unique specimen, the only one in the world) and now adorns Villa Gina with its brilliance. The 800 sqm villa is located in a quiet position in the Intelvi Valley, surrounded by a flowering garden in every season with rare centuries-old trees and offers breathtaking views of Lake Como.
