Period apartment for sale: Lombardy

An apartment on the first floor of Villa Cantaluppi, a lakefront villa between Como and Cernobbio. Designed by architect Luigi Tatti and built around 1851 for Pietro Gonzales from Verona, the villa was acquired in 1872 by the Pasha of Constantinople and later belonged to Ferdinando Bocconi, founder of Bocconi University in Milan. The villa is now divided into four residential units.

This apartment is part of Villa Taverna, a historic villa in Torno on the eastern shore of Lake Como. The villa stands directly on the lake and offers views across the water toward Grand Hotel Villa d'Este. A panoramic path leads from the villa to the center of Torno.
