19th-century Villa With View Over Lake Como, A Spa And A Pool

Set in the exclusive residential area of Tremezzo, by Lake Como, amongst historic villas and Italian gardens, this period property, built in 1873, stands out as one of the most iconic properties in the area. Completely restored and refurnished since 2003, the villa offers approximately 640 sqm of internal floor space spread over three levels, surrounded by a private garden of around 1,500 square metres offering unobstructed views of the lake, the mountains and the historic villages along the shore. The renovation, carried out with the utmost care, has preserved early 20th-century frescoes and original features, combining them with contemporary design solutions and state-of-the-art technology.

The main entrance is marked by a big designer door leading into a double reception hall, featuring restored frescoed ceilings, bamboo flooring and big windows that create a seamless connection between the interior and the garden. On the same level lies a spectacular tea room with large glazed surfaces, perfect for entertaining guests in complete privacy, and a grand dining room with a fireplace, ideal for formal dinners. The large, modern kitchen, fully equipped and also featuring a fireplace, is designed as the home’s social hub, flanked by a guest bathroom. A majestic marble staircase with an iron frame and handcrafted balustrade, together with the internal lift, seamlessly connects all floors, from the living area to the sleeping quarters, up to the attic and the hobby area.

The upper floor houses the main sleeping area, designed to offer comfort and privacy to every guest. The master suite, embellished with restored frescoes, features a walk-in wardrobe, an en-suite bathroom with a spa bath and shower, as well as access to a panoramic balcony overlooking the gardens and the lake. The level is completed by a junior master bedroom, a second junior bedroom with a shower room, a study and a maid’s room with its own bathroom. The top floor, characterised by a high ceiling with exposed beams, houses a large lounge with a fireplace, two terraces and a private bathroom: an extremely versatile space, suitable as a family room, hobby area or additional guest accommodation.

Descending to the basement level, the villa transforms into a refined wellness oasis. Here you will find a hobby area, a small spa with a sauna for 4–6 people and a shower, and above all a 12x3-metre swimming pool with a contemporary design, clad in bas-relief marble. The pool is partly covered with a counter-current system and partly open-air, situated in an underground outdoor lounge area below the garden, which enjoys complete privacy, creating an intimate and evocative atmosphere in every season. The external columns, fireplaces and various decorative elements are embellished with marble bas-reliefs, underscoring the level of craftsmanship dedicated to the entire residence.

From a technical perspective, the property has undergone a complete modernisation of its plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems, incorporating energy-efficient solutions. The underfloor heating and cooling is powered by a geothermal system with a heat pump, supplemented by solar panels for hot water production, whilst the home automation system allows for remote management of the house’s main functions, making it a smart home perfectly aligned with contemporary standards. The garage, directly connected to the villa, can accommodate up to six cars and is equipped with electric charging points, a feature that is now essential for convenient and sustainable daily use.
