Description

Nestled in the prestigious lakeside town of Griante on Lake Como, this exquisite historic villa-originally built by the esteemed engineer Mantegazza-is a rare gem that evokes the grandeur of a bygone era. Rich in architectural heritage and steeped in elegance, the property is set within an extraordinary private park reminiscent of the renowned Villa Carlotta, featuring a lush array of botanical treasures, ancient roses, and a striking colonnade that frames the manicured garden in timeless beauty.

The villa spans three generous levels, seamlessly combining historical authenticity with noble proportions:

Ground Floor: A grand entrance opens into a light-filled living room with large picture windows, an elegant dining area, a separate kitchen, and a guest bathroom. Refined period finishes and antique furnishings enrich every corner. A gracious portico offers direct access to the enchanting garden, where tranquility and artistry reign.

First Floor: The sleeping quarters comprise four refined bedrooms-three of which open onto balconies or panoramic terraces. From the master terrace, enjoy sweeping views of Lake Como; a charming Juliet balcony offers vistas of the romantic garden below. Two well-appointed bathrooms complete the floor, all adorned with original details.

Lower Ground Floor: The semi-basement hosts three versatile rooms, a technical room, wine cellar, and ample storage spaces. Direct access to a spacious garage, multiple private parking spots, and an additional storage area beneath the garage extends the practicality of the residence.

This property is offered with its precious antique furnishings included, thoughtfully preserved to maintain the villa's soul. Every room whispers stories of history and artistry-ornate cornices, bespoke woodwork, and intricate finishes provide a setting that is both stately and intimate.

A sanctuary of elegance and serenity, this villa is not merely a home but a piece of Lake Como's architectural heritage. Rarely does such a refined and characterful estate come to market-ideal for connoisseurs of history, beauty, and botanical grandeur.

About Lakeside Real Estate, Lake Como

Piazza Roma n.4, 22010 Argegno, Como.

Lakeside is a Real Estate and Brokerage agency operating on Lake Como.

We are the most and best reviewed real estate brand of the area online: our clients’ words are the best proof of the quality of our work.

We are a team of locals: we know our beloved Lake just perfectly.

This means, first, that we know the local property market backwards and forwards. We have a wide portfolio of prime properties for sale, and we constantly have an eye for opportunities also thanks to our capillary network of synergies with local agents, private owners and builders; this significantly increases the probability of finding the best property for you, and decreases the time needed to do it.

Second, that we could spend hours in talking about our Lake: chat with us and you will be surprised to hear the genuine passion we have when we describe the history of our villages, or when we share insights about locations, or again when we suggest you how to best enjoy Lake Como life. We particularly love to explain to our clients the unique soul of each single area of our territory: we believe this is an incomparable added value that only a native company like ours can provide.

“Local vibes. Global minds”, our tagline speaks clear: our distinctive feature is the ability to combine a sound know-how of the area with a marked international vocation, the latter proved by our multiple partnerships with businesses in Sweden, US and multiple countries abroad.

Our headquarters are located on the West Coast of the Lake (the sunniest and the one with the strongest international charme), in three of the most vibrant crossroads of global buyers: Menaggio, Argegno and San Siro.

Sales-related services, property management, financial assistance, renovation and project management: the range of services we offer is one of the most comprehensive on the local market.

Our team is young and smart, and this basically means three great soft skills: our extreme flexibility; our steady energy and proactivity; and our passion for digital storytelling, that leads our investment in professional photo and integrated marketing campaigns.

Our mission is to help who really loves our place find the retreat they deserve.
