Beautiful Villa On Lake Como

Elegant and high quality villa, one-of-a-kind. Built in 1873, this villa has been completely restored and redecorated since 2003 with attention to detail and design using the highest quality finishes and furnishings to create one of the most beautiful villas on Lake Como. Gardens of approximately 1,500 square metres surround the property, which offers magical views of the lake, mountains and Tremezzina town.

The entrance to the main villa is characterised by a large modern door of unique and sophisticated design. This floor features a spacious double living room with high ceilings and early 20th century frescoes restored during the renovation and large windows overlooking the garden. A wonderful tea room, ideal for hosting friends and family in privacy and intimacy with large windows and a spacious dining room with a fireplace. A large modern kitchen equipped with a charming fireplace and a bathroom. To connect the living floor with the sleeping floor, the attic and the basement hobby area, there is a lift and a majestic original modern staircase in marble design with an iron structure and hand-crafted hand railing. The first floor comprises three bedrooms, a study and a maid’s area. The large master suite with early 20th-century frescoes restored during the renovation has a private bathroom with whirlpool bath and shower and a walk-in wardrobe, as well as access to the balcony that overlooks the beautiful gardens and offers sweeping views of the lake. The junior master bedroom and a further junior bedroom have a bathroom with shower, as well as a maid’s room with its own bathroom. The attic floor features a high ceiling with exposed beams over a large living room with fireplace, two terraces and a private bathroom. The roof terrace offers a beautiful view of the lake and is ideal for sunset aperitivo, lunches and dinners. Going down to the basement level, the villa offers a hobby room, a small spa with sauna that can accommodate 4 to 6 people with shower, as well as a swimming pool, 12 m long and 3 m wide, with a reverse current of elegant and modern design, with marble cladding worked in bas-relief, partly covered and partly outside, with an outdoor lounge area that is hypogeal to the garden and enjoys extreme privacy.

State of repair

The property is characterised by marble bas-reliefs both on the exterior columns, in the house and on the fireplaces, and all the floors in the house are made of bamboo.

Utilities

The entire plumbing, electrical and mechanical infrastructure of the house has been modernised and replaced, including energy-efficient underfloor heating and cooling, solar panels for hot water and geothermal heat pump. The home automation system, with which various functions can be controlled conveniently from an app, makes it a truly intelligent and modern home, as does the garage with electric charging facilities that can store 6 cars.

Use and Potential Uses

The property lends itself very well to private use, as the main luxury residence, or as a representative house for receiving guests. The villa could also be set up as an income property, considering its great potential for short-term rentals that are in high demand among foreign guests.
