Authentic Lakeside Home

Set in Careno (Nesso), one of Lake Como’s most authentic and picturesque lakeside villages, this beautifully restored independent home combines historic character, generous outdoor spaces and exceptional panoramic views.

A charming hamlet overlooking the eastern shore of the lake, Careno is known for its traditional stone houses, narrow pedestrian lanes and peaceful atmosphere. Its privileged position offers a genuine sense of Lake Como living, surrounded by nature and striking scenery while remaining within easy reach of the lake’s main destinations.

Completely renovated and ready to live in, the property retains many of its original architectural and historic details. Its elevated, sunny position provides magnificent 180-degree views across the lake, with particularly beautiful light throughout the afternoon and uninterrupted views of the sunset.

At the level of the pedestrian lane leading down towards the lake, two spacious terraced courtyards provide access through the original entrance to a fully equipped eat-in kitchen and a separate, generously proportioned dining room.

The first floor, which also benefits from a convenient secondary entrance close to the private parking area, features a large living room with fireplace, a bathroom with bathtub and an additional lounge area with an oversized sofa. A balcony opens directly towards the lake, while every room on this level enjoys remarkable panoramic views.

The second floor accommodates two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower, again with lake views from every window. The top attic floor offers two further bedrooms, distinguished by exposed roof beams and charming windows framing the surrounding landscape.

Outside the upper entrance is a private courtyard with space for a table and chairs, together with a generously sized garden and a romantic vine-covered portico overlooking the lake—an inviting setting for outdoor dining, quiet afternoons and sunset aperitifs.

At road level, the property includes a large private parking space, currently accommodating both a car and a boat. This is an exceptionally rare and valuable feature in Careno and in the historic villages along this stretch of Lake Como, where private parking is seldom available.

The property also includes a small adjoining two-storey rustic outbuilding, formerly used as a barn and currently serving as a storage area and cellar, providing valuable additional space.

The house is offered partially furnished, with the kitchen and bathrooms fully included. There is also the possibility of purchasing the boat separately, with the potential transfer of its berth at the nearby marina.

An authentic and immediately habitable Lake Como home, combining historic charm, excellent sun exposure, enchanting outdoor spaces, sweeping lake views and the rare convenience of private parking.
