Villa Linda: history, views and privacy on Lake Como

There are homes that tell a story, such as Villa Linda, a prestigious residence designed in the 1930s by the renowned architect Paolo Mezzanotte. The villa stands in one of the most panoramic locations on Lake Como, just a few minutes from Bellagio; surrounded by a private oasis of over 11,000 m² comprising a park, olive groves and chestnut woods, Villa Linda represents a rare fusion of architecture, nature and absolute privacy, and the property we are offering here could be further enhanced by the possibility of including a jetty.

Nestled halfway up the hillside between Vassena and Civenna, the villa elegantly follows the sinuous contours of the mountain, opening out like a natural observatory overlooking the lake. 

Its architectural lines blend perfectly with the surrounding landscape, offering a unique vista that takes in the waters of the lake, from Varenna to Lecco, with the spectacular scenery of the Grigne mountains as a backdrop. A panorama of extraordinary beauty that changes with the seasons and accompanies every moment of the day.

Enjoying privacy and a commanding position, the property is accessed via a private road of approximately 450 metres, recently resurfaced and secured by remote-controlled electric gates, ensuring discreet and secure access.

The property complex we are offering comprises the main villa and a refined annexe. 

The main villa, measuring approximately 360 m², features bright and charming rooms, with over twelve rooms in total, including four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a study, as well as panoramic terraces.

The spaces have been designed to constantly enhance the relationship with the surrounding landscape, offering views of incomparable beauty from every room. The original finishes provide ample scope for personalisation during renovation.

Additional facilities, such as a large wine cellar, garage, woodshed and gazebo, ensure practicality and ease of use throughout the property.

The guest house, which is completely separate, covers approximately 120 m² and comprises a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering an elegant and private retreat for guests, family members or domestic staff.

Villa Linda is a timeless residence where the value of history meets the privilege of one of the most breathtaking views of Lake Como.
