Description

Situated along the most prestigious and sought-after stretch of Lake Como, between the city of Como and the iconic town of Cernobbio, Villa Bianca represents a rare opportunity to own a historic residence of inestimable value. This magnificent residence, with over a century of history, is a property of the utmost significance, protected by the Department of Fine Arts, which is overseeing its current, meticulous conservation restoration. The project, scheduled for completion in September 2026, aims to preserve the original architectural identity whilst harmoniously integrating it with the highest standards of contemporary luxury.

The property covers an internal area of approximately 900 square metres , offering a spatial layout designed to ensure maximum privacy and prestige. The private driveway leads directly into the residence, where the ground floor has been designed to operate discreetly, housing a self-contained guest apartment, staff quarters, utility rooms and internal access to the garage, which can accommodate up to four vehicles. The beating heart of the villa is the main floor, characterised by a majestic triple-height living room where contemporary style meets the charm of coffered ceilings hand-painted by Pictalab Milano and refined bespoke panelling. This level is complemented by spectacular double-height dining rooms and a bespoke Poliform kitchen with premium finishes  appliances, creating an ideal setting for elegant entertaining.

The sleeping area comprises over eight bedrooms, divided into suites of exceptional beauty. The Master Suite stands out as a true ‘residence within a residence’, featuring a bespoke wardrobe, a private terrace with panoramic lake views and a sumptuous Italian marble Devon Devon  bathroom. Equally refined are the Junior Suite and the Garden Suite, the latter with direct access to the grounds, ideal for ensuring guests’ privacy. The entire top floor has been transformed into an exclusive “private resort” dedicated to wellness, curated by Bottega Busnelli: a space that includes a high-performance gym, an eight-person sauna and dedicated spa and yoga areas.

Outside, the villa is surrounded by a meticulously maintained park of approximately 2,500 square metres, designed as a natural extension of the architecture. Natural stone paths connect panoramic terraces, lounge areas and a beautiful swimming pool, all framed by mature vegetation of cypresses, palm trees and wisteria, ensuring complete privacy.
