Historic villa with grounds and views of Lake Como

In the picturesque village of Gravedona, on the western shore of Lake Como, we are offering for sale a prestigious historic villa dating back to the 18th century – a truly charming residence where history, art and nature come together in a setting of exceptional beauty.

With over 1,000 m² of internal floor space and a private botanical garden of approximately 3,500 m², the property represents a rare opportunity for those wishing to purchase a home with a unique character and exceptional historical and architectural value.

The villa’s origins date back to 1718, when it was recorded on the Teresian maps as the Oratory of the Blessed Virgin, before being transformed in 1798 by Count Guido Omboni of Milan into a refined aristocratic residence. Even today, it retains the charm of its era thanks to its beautiful frescoed vaulted ceilings, impressive fireplaces, Lombard terracotta floors and original details in ancient stone.

The interiors offer an elegant and timeless atmosphere, with reception rooms embellished with period décor, a refined drawing room featuring a Murano glass chandelier, a historic kitchen with its original fireplace, and rooms dedicated to music and reading. The numerous windows and doors opening onto the outside also allow guests to enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the village of Gravedona, the characteristic surrounding rooftops and the waters of Lake Como, creating a continuous dialogue between the interior spaces and the surrounding landscape.

The private park, rich in botanical species such as camellias, azaleas, oleanders and araucarias, features picturesque walking paths, historic greenhouses, a tuff gallery and secluded corners of great charm. The panoramic terrace offers an extraordinary view of Lake Como and Mount Legnone.

Thanks to its location, its historical significance and the versatility of its spaces, this property is ideally suited both as a prestigious private residence and as an exclusive venue for events, charming hospitality and cultural initiatives.

A rare residence on Lake Como, capable of preserving the charm of the past whilst offering a unique living experience in the heart of the Larian landscape.
