Description
Set within a generously planted private garden-abundant with palm trees, roses, and a myriad of flowering species-this historic residence offers an atmosphere of quiet luxury and nostalgia.
It's the kind of place where barefoot childhood summers once ran freely beneath the rose-covered pergola and across sun-drenched terraces.
The estate is currently configured into three residential units, each with private access and individual character, spread across the villa's classic structure.
What makes this property truly exceptional, however, is its fully approved architectural project-a rare opportunity to create a stunning, expanded penthouse residence on the top floor, complete with sweeping, unobstructed views across the lake to Bellagio.
Layout & Features:
- Lower Level: A spacious garage accommodating multiple vehicles, with adjacent utility rooms, cellars, and storage.
- First Floor Apartment: Light-filled living room with portico access, brand-new separate kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. A large terrace off the kitchen is enveloped by garden views.
- Second Floor Apartment: Similar in layout, with a refined covered terrace offering a panoramic front-row view of Bellagio across the water.
- Top Floor Apartment: Currently modest in size, this unit includes two rear bedrooms, a bathroom, and a front room with storage-plus access to a rooftop terrace with breathtaking lake views. The approved renovation project envisions a larger, more private apartment with exceptional vistas and modern comforts.
Outside, the Mediterranean-style garden unfolds like a painting-mature trees, vibrant blooms, and vine-draped ironwork leading to a charming outbuilding, once a traditional limonaia, now perfect as a guest annex or atelier.
A small greenhouse adds to the charm.
Location:
Just a 10-minute walk to the lakefront, this villa enjoys ideal proximity to the ferry terminal, restaurants, shops, and the famed Villa Carlotta and its botanical gardens. The location offers both seclusion and accessibility-a rare blend on Lake Como's western shore.
With its historic soul, majestic views, and potential for transformation, this property is perfectly suited for those seeking to create something truly lasting on the lake.
