Historic Villa With Charm And Breathtaking Views Of Lake Como

Located in a privileged and sunny position in the municipality of Carate Urio, Villa Rosa is a charming property dating back to the 1930s that has benefited from a complete renovation completed in 2025. The residence stands out for the extraordinary brightness of its rooms and for the open view of Lake Como that characterises every level of the structure.
Spread over four floors, the villa offers a functional and modern layout, with all levels connected by both an internal staircase and a convenient lift, ensuring the property is perfectly accessible. The interior finishes have been created using high-quality materials, alternating the charm of terracotta with the quality of parquet flooring.
The ground floor is entirely dedicated to the living area, where the entrance leads to a large and bright living room. The kitchen has been designed as a separate and functional technical space, adjacent to a dedicated dining room, thus ensuring a clear distinction between the operational and convivial areas; the floor is completed by a first bathroom.
The sleeping area is strategically located on the upper floors to ensure maximum privacy: on the first floor there are two bedrooms and two dedicated bathrooms, while the second floor houses two further bedrooms and a bathroom. Both floors have private balconies offering direct views of the lake.
The top floor of the property consists of an attic, a versatile space that can be used for various purposes depending on requirements.
The value of the villa is further enhanced by a huge panoramic terrace with breathtaking views of the lake and a private garden surrounding the house, ideal for outdoor relaxation. To further enhance the property, plans have already been approved for the construction of a swimming pool, an exclusive addition that would transform the garden into a true oasis of well-being.
Thanks to the recent renovation of the systems and finishes, Villa Rosa represents an extraordinary opportunity for those looking for a ready-to-move-in home that combines the historical charm of the 1930s with the technology of 2025 in one of the most exclusive locations on Lake Como.

Carate Urio is a splendid village on the western shore of Lake Como, adjacent to Laglio, the village where George Clooney’s villa is located, and to Cernobbio, home of the prestigious Grand Hotel Villa d’Este.

From here, both cities can be reached in about thirty minutes by car. The international airport of Milan Malpensa is about a thirty- minute drive while the city of Como is about ten minutes. The public bus service is very convenient with a stop next to the house for sale; thanks to the bus service the towns of Argegno, Menaggio and Como are easily reachable as well as the Como San Giovanni international railway station.
Carate Urio is also well connected by ferryboat to Cernobbio, Como, Bellagio and Menaggio, thanks to the Navigazione Laghi transportation service.
