Art-nouveau Villa By Lake Como With Infinity Pool And Annex

Nestled on a panoramic hillside in one of the most secluded villages by Lake Como, where historic manor houses alternate with terraced gardens and small charming buildings, this property offers unobstructed views of the lake and surrounding mountains. The main building, a compact but extremely well-proportioned Art Nouveau villa, has undergone careful restoration that has enhanced its original details, integrating them with modern systems, double-glazed windows and contemporary comfort solutions. The garden of approximately 3,000 square metres, spread over several terraces, connects the car park level and the future driveway to the big infinity pool and the entrances to the villa and annexe, creating a scenic path that gradually leads to the heart of the property.

The current access is from the upper level, where there is a garage for two vehicles connected to the footpath that descends towards the property. The project currently underway involves the construction of a new private road from the main road and a quadruple garage connected by a lift, intended to serve the new annex, significantly improving the daily usability of the property. On the first floor, there is a separate apartment, already completed, with a living room and open-plan kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and large side garden, perfect as accommodation for guests, staff or as a separate unit to generate income. A little further down, the big infinity pool becomes the centrepiece of outdoor life, with a comfortable edge, a large sunbathing area and a direct view of the lake; any view from the neighbouring villa can be mitigated with evergreen plants, while maintaining the scenic value of the pool.

The main villa is spread over four levels. On the ground floor, overlooking the garden, are the living room and dining area with an open-plan kitchen, organised in a continuous space that enhances the fireplace and the openings to the outside, making this level particularly suitable for socialising. An elegant guest bathroom is located on the mezzanine between the living area and the first floor, optimising the internal layout. The first floor is entirely dedicated to the master suite: a large double bedroom, a spacious bathroom with fine marble and a window overlooking the lake, and a separate dressing room create a hotel-style master bedroom, tailor-made for a couple who want generous and distinct spaces.

Going up further, the second floor has two attic rooms, currently used as a gym and TV room, both served by skylights that bring in zenithal light and make the rooms comfortable and livable. On the next level, the turret houses a study with a view, a cosy but impressive space thanks to the view of the lake from above, ideal as a home office, reading room or creative retreat. The lower levels are dedicated to laundry, technical rooms and service areas, already set up to accommodate additional functions such as an extra bathroom or second laundry area, depending on future needs.

Outside, the garden terraces have been designed to offer different atmospheres: the annexe level is more intimate, with a lawn and a convivial area; the pool level is open and spectacular, perfect for private events, aperitifs at sunset and relaxing days in the sun; the higher areas, close to the future driveway, lend themselves to being organised as reception areas, with green paths accompanying guests from street level to the villa. The overall configuration, with the main building, an annexe to be completed with three bedrooms, a four-car garage and vertical paths served by a lift, makes the property particularly suitable for use as a bespoke hospitality service, while maintaining the intimate feel of a large family home.
