Lavish Historical Villa With Chapel And Park In Comignago

This prestigious period estate, with an internal area of 2,000 sqm spread across four buildings, is situated in the hills of the historic village of Comignago, which dates back to Roman times and is linked to the Borromeo fiefdom. Surrounded by a private park of 1,000 sqm, it offers ten bedrooms, ten bathrooms, a consecrated chapel, reception rooms and an historic courtyard with a portico. The grandeur of the historic structures and the flexibility of the layout make the residence an oasis of extraordinary prestige that transcends the realm of high-end residential living and is particularly well-suited to hospitality activities; it is currently used to host major events.

The main building is spread over two levels, covering an area of 1,000 sqm. The ground floor features spacious reception rooms embellished with coffered wooden beam ceilings, decorated walls, period frescoes and Venetian terrazzo or coffered parquet flooring. The upper floors comprise the sleeping quarters, featuring bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, elegant private apartments and a cultural area including a library with floor-to-ceiling shelving and a reading room with large arched windows.

The complex is complemented by several independent buildings that enhance its functionality. Among these, a romantic private chapel of Romanesque origin with an imposing stone tower dating back to 1282 stands out; it remains consecrated and can accommodate up to 130 people for services and weddings. A short distance away lies the covered reception hall with an exposed red-brick vaulted ceiling, capable of accommodating up to 180 guests, flanked by a fully renovated former barn, the caretaker’s house and further rustic farmhouses with significant potential for restoration.

The outdoor spaces offer a setting of rare aesthetic appeal. The park and reception rooms provide direct access to the Corte Antica, characterised by a large covered portico with stone columns entwined with jasmine and original terracotta paving. The garden, laid out in the Italian style with gravel paths and elegant flowerbeds in the shade of centuries-old trees, features a spacious private car park for guests.
