This scenic lake view villa is in one of the most exclusive locations on Lake Como. It is surrounded by beautiful, tall trees and embellished by a large, romantic English-style park. The villa dates all the way back to 1910 and is spread over three floors in addition to the basement.
The main floor has three living rooms with cosy fireplaces, a panoramic terrace, an adorable tea room with glass walls, a study, kitchen, guest bathroom and laundry room. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and two of them come with panoramic terraces. On the third floor there are two double bedrooms, a bathroom and a large wardrobe. Behing the villa you can find a guesthouse that comes with two bedrooms, bathrooms, a spacious garage, a wood shed, a garden shed and a barbecue area.
The property is surrounded by 2.5 hectares of parkland, full of plants and flowers that change the atmosphere of the house with the change of the seasons. A wrought iron gate invites you up the driveway where you see ponds, tree houses, swings and small waterfalls fed by natural springs crossed by stone paths. Needless to say, your kids will love this place.
Next to the villa you can enjoy the beautiful lawns with a carved stone fountain in the centre and in the highest part you can walk among gentle slopes that lead to an old greenhouse and a colourful wooden house. You can access the lower part of the villa through paths of natural stone steps where there is a pool embraced by two stone stairs carved into the rock. It's all very "secret garden"-like!
This unique property is perfect for your Italian holidays, and you can watch the scenery change with the seasons. This is a great place for private use but also an interesting investment opportunity, thanks to the area's popularity among tourists.
