Erba, Como, Lombardy, Italy

A historic residence where four centuries of history come together in a single, harmonious property.

In the heart of Caslino d'Erba stands a villa that preserves a precious legacy. Built in 1907 by Cavaliere del Lavoro Ernesto Invernizzi, the residence forms part of a historic complex whose origins date back to the 1600s, connected by a charming network of passageways and staircases that links the various sections of the property with natural elegance.

The main building, situated within the flat garden, was a model of modernity and comfort for its time. Today, it welcomes visitors with a Beola stone staircase leading to interiors of extraordinary refinement, such as the perfectly preserved original Art Nouveau stained-glass windows, coffered wooden ceilings approximately five metres high, period Slovenian oak flooring with full-length planks-a fine detail now virtually impossible to find-and, last but not least, the dark wood internal staircase, an authentic testament to early 20th-century architecture

From the upper floors, the view opens discreetly onto Lake Alserio, offering glimpses of great charm. In the garden, two beautiful specimens of Olea Fragrans continue to exude their unmistakable scent, a distinctive feature that has accompanied the villa for over a century.

The property requires a complete renovation, yet offers the future owner the opportunity to restore a residence of rare historical and architectural significance, returning it to its natural elegance and original prestige.

A villa that does more than simply recount the past: it invites you to imagine the future.
