Prestigious Lakefront Villa in Cernobbio

In an extraordinary location directly overlooking the lake in Cernobbio, just a stone’s throw from the renowned Villa d’Este, this prestigious villa offers a rare combination of historic elegance, spacious rooms and direct access to the beauty of Lake Como.

Surrounded by a magnificent garden stretching right down to the water’s edge, the property enjoys an enchanting lakeside setting and features a detached annexe, a private jetty, a greenhouse and three garages.

The main villa, built in the 1930s in the Art Nouveau style, offers elegant reception rooms with beautiful views of the lake and the garden: a spacious drawing room, dining room, a private veranda overlooking the water and a striking grand staircase. A completely independent service area with its own entrance comprises a spacious kitchen with marble worktops, ideal for hosting sumptuous receptions or renowned chefs for private cookery lessons, as well as an office, pantry and staff quarters.

The first floor houses five spacious bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, whilst the upper floor features a further four rooms and two bathrooms, ideal as additional bedrooms, studies or private spaces. Air conditioning is fitted throughout the second floor and in the master bedroom. The villa retains precious original features, including Venetian terrazzo flooring, parquet flooring, window frames and refined stucco work.

Surrounded by the garden is also a detached annexe designed by the architectural firm of Terragni, comprising a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, ideal for guests or staff.

The grounds, adorned with English-style lawns, azaleas, rhododendrons and ancient cypress trees, offer great privacy; in front of the villa, the land slopes gently down to the lake and the private jetty, the perfect spot to savour the slow pace of life, the comings and goings of the vaporetti, the gentle lapping of the water, or, at night, the rhythmic flash of the Voltiano Lighthouse in Brunate.

Despite its extraordinary seclusion, the property is situated in the centre of Cernobbio, just a short walk from amenities, restaurants and prestigious hotels, with excellent transport links to Como, Lugano, Milan and the main international airports.

A unique residence in one of the most sought-after locations on Lake Como, where historic charm, nature and lakeside living come together in a setting of the utmost prestige.
