Exclusive Hillside Villa with Dependance and Panoramic Lake Views

Set on a tranquil hillside above the iconic city of Como, this elegant villa with its independent dependance enjoys sweeping, open views that stretch across the city, the lake, and the surrounding hills. On particularly clear days, the panorama extends as far as Milan and Monte Rosa; a rare and inspiring backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons. Despite its peaceful and private setting, the property is just a six-minute drive from the heart of Como, offering the perfect balance between seclusion and convenience. Shops, restaurants, cafés, ferry connections, and the direct train to Milan are all within easy reach, making daily life effortless while preserving a sense of retreat. Dating back to the early 20th century, the main villa was completely and tastefully renovated between 2016 and 2017. The renovation was carried out with great attention to detail, combining high-quality finishes and modern design with the timeless elegance of the original architecture. The result is a home that feels both refined and comfortable, where classic character meets contemporary living. The villa is arranged over three main levels plus an attic, offering approximately 300 sqm of usable interior space. Light-filled interiors open onto a beautifully designed outdoor area featuring a flat garden and approximately 140 sqm of paved terraces, including a glycan covered patio, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. The plot surrounding the property including flat outdoor spaces of around 3,000 sqm are also surrounded by nearly five acres of woodland, creating a natural buffer of privacy and a deep connection to the landscape. The ground floor welcomes you with a spacious and bright living area centered around a fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen with direct access to the outdoor veranda, a guest bathroom, and a storage room. On the first floor, the master suite enjoys double balconies, a walk-in wardrobe, and an en-suite bathroom, alongside a second bedroom and an additional bathroom and laundry room. The second floor offers a generous study area that can easily be converted into two bedrooms, another bedroom with a balcony, a hallway, and a further bathroom. The attic level, currently used for storage, is unfinished but already features a completed roof with exposed beams, offering exciting potential for additional living space. The dependance includes two independent apartments, both currently operating successfully as Airbnb rentals. Together, they provide an excellent opportunity for income generation or guest accommodation. Within the grounds, a small existing shed can easily be converted into additional habitable space such as gym or summer room, and there is an ideal area where a swimming pool could be created. A private gated entry leads to a parking area for 4 cars. This exceptional property is perfectly suited as a primary or secondary residence for those seeking a serene family home close to the vibrancy of Como, as well as an attractive investment opportunity thanks to the established short-term rental activity. A rare combination of views, privacy, accessibility, and timeless Italian charm; a place not just to live, but to truly belong.
