This luxury villa for sale was originally built in 1700 on the foot of a hill in one of the most prestigious areas of Como.
The origins of the villa are tied to important families of the time as is testified by many documents, which explains the crowned lions you find on all the bronze door handles and the great mosaic in the man hall. Built as a hunting lodge for the aristocrats coming from the south, it was originally limited to the central block with its dome in typical Palladian style.
Later, in the 1800's the central body was expanded with the addition of two lateral wings that created the majestic dimensions still visible today. Various ornaments and decorations of Pompeian style are still visible in the study and in the dining room.
The latest remake dates back to the 30's in fashion with the time. The grand baroque salon, which boasts exceptional acoustics has staged performances of famous musicians.
The façade is probably one of the principal features of this splendid villa, with its warm tone of colour, and the monumental columns - that characterise the back entrance - and the terrace that runs along the whole width of the building.
Columns and precious marbles, elegant marble terrazzo flooring and frescoed ceilings, both original and restored, are recurrent features of this noble residence that extends over two levels, plus a basement cellar and a live-in attic, with a total of eleven bedrooms.
Outside, a fantastic park enriches the value of this splendid luxury abode in Como, with ancient trees and rare plants, creating a harmonious ambient and atmosphere with a visual impact of 5000 m2 of greenery, alleys, tuff and fake rock walls and staircases and also lighting and irrigation system; the garden is a copy of the Asse Hall in the Castello Sforzesco in Milan famous for its pergola panted by Leonardo da Vinci.
The great harmony of the spacious and bright rooms, furnished with great classical taste give an air of splendour to this villa in Como and the experience of typical Italian beauty and elegance in a location of great fascination.
