Villa Evelina Exclusive Lake Como Estate For Private Living, Events & Luxury Hospitality

Ideal for Exclusive Private Events and perfectly suited to be transformed into a refined Boutique De Charme, Villa Evelina is not simply a residence: it is a place of the soul. A retreat suspended between sky and water, where time slows down and the gaze is drawn toward the infinite beauty of Lake Como. Here, the deep blue of the lake embraces the velvety green of the surrounding mountains, creating a living landscape that changes colour with every hour of the day. Located in Stazzona, in a commanding position above the Alto Lario, Villa Evelina enjoys a spectacular panorama stretching from Colico—where the Adda River flows into the lake—across Dongo and Gravedona, along the elegant western shores, towards Varenna and beyond. On clear days, the view seems endless, wide and cinematic in its beauty. The Residence The property sits on a plateau offering wonderful privacy, surrounded by greenery and enjoying enchanting views over Lake Como and the mountains of Valtellina. Menaggio, Colico, Bellagio and Lugano are all within easy reach of this beautiful and historic villa. Via the Lecco–Tirano highway, the nearest international airport can be reached in less than one hour. The impressive residence offers approximately 750 sqm of living space, carefully preserved and furnished with antique pieces collected from across Europe. Even outdoors, in the garden overlooking the lake, one finds historical objects of remarkable value. As you enter the property—surrounded by paintings, antique furniture and icons—you almost forget the present time and feel transported into another era, while still enjoying the comforts of modern living. The estate is arranged over four above-ground levels, distributed as follows: Basement level Boiler area and a large tavern. Ground floor A spacious living room arranged over two levels, the kitchen with a large traditional fireplace, and the impressive dining room. First floor The main sleeping area, composed of three suites, each with its own balcony overlooking the landscape. Second floor Two additional bedrooms with a bathroom. The property is surrounded by approximately 6,500 sqm of beautifully maintained parkland, landscaped in every detail with fine trees and an elegant English-style lawn. Within the garden stands an old farmhouse, currently used as a barbecue area. Near the large wrought-iron entrance gate is the caretaker’s house, comprising a living room, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom. An Enchanted Place Villa Evelina is an enchanted place where every detail tells a story. It is a residence that does more than welcome—it allows you to truly live. Here one breathes the authentic spirit of Lake Como: discreet elegance, precious silences and natural beauty. It is not simply a villa: it is a way of life. Within these walls one can sense the vision and sensitivity of a remarkable man who transformed an extraordinary place into a timeless residence capable of inspiring, moving and leaving a lasting impression on those who experience it. The Soul of the Villa: Aimone Canape Villa Evelina is an experience. One to remember. One to tell. One to desire. But above all, it is the reflection of the soul of Aimone Canape. A truly unique man—visionary and deeply connected to Lake Como—who saw in this place not merely a house, but a destiny. Villa Evelina was born from his attentive gaze, his rare sensitivity, and his desire to create something that would go beyond architecture and comfort: a home with a soul. It is the soul of a man who lived life exactly as he wished—without limits, without boundaries, without fear—embracing the courage and the luxury of always expressing his true essence. Aimone Canape imagined the villa as a meeting point between nature, elegance and memory. Every space was designed to converse with the landscape, to frame the lake as if it were a living work of art, and to make every visitor feel part of a greater story. In Villa Evelina one breathes his vision: a love for authentic beauty, a deep respect for the territory and a search for elegance without ostentation. It is a place for those who understand the value of silence, of light, and of time flowing slowly. Villa Evelina is not simply a residence on the lake. It is the emotional and cultural legacy of Aimone Canape. A way of inhabiting the world. A way of living Lake Como. Words by Aimone Canape “The places in my life have always had a soul. Places have a soul. Our task is not to dominate them, but to listen to them. Villa Evelina is not merely a residence—it is an entity… a spirit that welcomes the waters of the lake, where the lake breathes, tells its story, and becomes one with the souls that have lived here and those who will live here in the future. Every view is an invitation to pause. Every room is a dialogue with the water and the mountains. Here I wished to gather silence, light, memory and time. Here live my memories, my light, my silence and my time. Villa Evelina is my way of saying thank you to this lake, to these mountains, to this sky that each day teaches the beauty of the essential. It is my gratitude for the magnificence of life.” The Furnishings: A Collection of Life Entering Villa Evelina means entering the world of Aimone Canape. The furnishings were not chosen simply to fill spaces; they were collected over time, one by one, through travels, encounters and discoveries. Every piece is an icon. Every detail tells a lived story. Nothing here is anonymous. Nothing can be replicated. The exposed wooden beams speak of roots and solidity. The materials and finishes were selected to interact with natural light and with the landscape outside, creating continuity between interior and exterior. The authentic antique chests, rich in memory, carry with them the craftsmanship of the past, transforming each room into a lived space rather than simply a decorated one. The antique furnishings, chosen with taste and respect, do not follow fashion—they transcend it. They are quiet yet powerful presences that give character, depth and soul to every room. Spaces That Inspire The rooms open onto panoramic terraces—natural extensions of the home—from which the view stretches freely across the lake and the surrounding mountains. The attic, bright and welcoming, offers an intimate and evocative space, ideal as a study, reading room or private retreat. The cellars, designed with the same attention as the main living areas, celebrate conviviality and the pleasure of sharing moments dedicated to good wine and good company. The bathrooms, finished with high-quality materials, combine functionality with elegance, transforming daily gestures into small rituals. Outside, the garden and courtyard create a private and harmonious oasis, designed for enjoying life by the lake: slow breakfasts, sunset aperitifs and evenings beneath the stars. A Rare Property Villa Evelina is not acquired simply with a signature. It is chosen. It is a property for those who recognise the value of authenticity, for those seeking a place already complete, where every element has been imagined, lived and loved. This is not a house to furnish. It is a house to continue living. Villa Evelina is a rare property on Lake Como. And rare things never wait.
