Menaggio, Como, Lombardy, Italy

The living space arrives as a single volume of light. Full-height glazing runs almost the width of the room, and the lake fills the frame completely - water, mountains, and sky in constant motion.

This two-level, penthouse apartment sits within a modern lakefront building in Acquaseria, a quiet village on the western shore, a short drive from Menaggio. The architecture is deliberate: a double-height open-plan living and dining area, a mezzanine that spans the upper level, and sliding doors that open onto a private terrace directly above the water.

The layout makes the most of the volume. A study on the mezzanine looks down over the living space and holds the same uninterrupted lake views through the full-height windows - a working position that is difficult to argue with. A third room on the upper level functions as a double bedroom, with its own bathroom and a glass door that keeps the outlook present.

On the main level, two further bedrooms and a second bathroom are arranged cleanly, with enough separation to suit families, guests, or short-term rental use.

The technical specification is complete: heat pump underfloor heating and cooling, additional air conditioning, lift access, and a private garage within the building. A shared pool at lower ground level is included in the condominium.
The energy rating is A.

Acquaseria sits on the upper western shore, with direct views across to the Tremezzina and the mountains beyond. The Menaggio ferry terminal is minutes away by car, connecting directly to Bellagio and Varenna. Milan Malpensa is approximately 90 minutes. St. Moritz and Bormio are within two hours.

The property is available with vacant possession and is suitable for primary residence, second home, or rental investment (CIN registration applicable for short-term use).
