Carate Urio, Como, Lombardy, Italy

Surrounded by the charm of one of Carate Urio's most picturesque locations, this beautiful property is situated within the historic Villa dei Cedri, an elegant period residence that retains all the charm and character of Lake Como's historic homes. The apartment occupies the ground floor of the villa and underwent a tasteful refurbishment around ten years ago, carried out with particular attention to the choice of materials, finishes and the enhancement of the rooms. The layout comprises an entrance hall, a cosy living room, a kitchen-diner, two spacious bedrooms and three bathrooms. The spaces are well organised and offer a pleasant living environment, making it ideal both as a main residence and as an exclusive retreat for relaxing on Lake Como. One of the most distinctive features of this property is its beautiful private garden, which surrounds the apartment and naturally extends its living spaces. Lush and pleasantly secluded, it provides the perfect setting to enjoy the tranquillity of the location, host social gatherings al fresco or simply relax surrounded by nature, in an atmosphere of absolute serenity. But the true distinguishing feature of this residence is undoubtedly its unique relationship with the lake. In fact, a characteristic underground tunnel provides direct access to the lakeside area, where there is an additional plot of land situated right on the shores of Lake Como. The property is complemented by three private parking spaces - a highly practical feature offering added value - as well as a spacious storage room providing further practical space for the home. The apartment is situated in one of the most prestigious areas of Lake Como, in the small town of Carate Urio, which has a special charm and is renowned as a holiday resort. The property is just a few kilometres from the luxurious towns of Cernobbio and Villa d'Este. Easily accessible from the motorway linking Milan and Switzerland, the property's location is highly advantageous from a logistical point of view. The amenities of the city of Como, the exclusive Villa d'Este sports club, the motorway links to the major airports of northern Italy and Switzerland, as well as its lakeside location in the First Basin area, make this property truly one of a kind.
