Lake Como property in Tremezzo

Perfect sunlight, views of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains, and a private, tranquil location define this magnificent villa in Tremezzo. Spanning over three floors (plus basement) and a total area of approximately 900 sqm, the property dates back to the early 18th century and retains many original features. 

The villa is accessed via a charming gravel terrace, leading into an impressive and bright entrance hall with typical Lombard Cotto flooring. The ground floor comprises three large living rooms with open fireplaces, a dining room, a spacious kitchen with a fireplace and pantry, a study, and two bathrooms. This floor is characterised by historic details such as exquisite ceilings, antique wood and Venetian marble floors, original doors, and fireplaces. The bathrooms feature walls decorated with glossy stucco, an antique material also used in Pompeii. 

A granite staircase leads to the first floor, which includes a spacious hallway offering access to a lakeside balcony. On this level, there are four large bedrooms with lake views and stunning frescoed ceilings, a single bedroom, and two bathrooms. The second floor consists of two separate apartments, each with independent access from the garden. The basement houses technical and storage rooms, as well as a wine cellar. Additionally, there is a caretaker's apartment of approximately 100 sqm, which is in need of full renovation.

The villa was renovated by renowned Italian Rationalist architect Pietro Lingeri. Mr Lingeri also expanded the villa, adding five additional bathrooms without disturbing the frescoed ceilings. The property is set within an elegant and well-maintained garden of approximately 3,500 sqm, featuring pathways and shaded areas. The estate is located just 100 metres from the lake, enjoying a secluded and peaceful position that guarantees a high level of privacy.
