Timeless Art Deco Estate with Guest Villa, pool and Panoramic Lake Como Views: Argegno

Perched above the picturesque lakeside village of Argegno, this exceptional Liberty-style villa, dating back to 1911, is one of the most prestigious private residences on Lake Como.

Set within approximately 3,000 sq m of beautifully landscaped grounds, the property enjoys breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the lake to the iconic Punta Balbianello and the enchanting Isola Comacina. The residence is approached via an elegant driveway framed by two rows of white azaleas, extending for more than 30 metres, and romantic arches draped in jasmine.

Recently redesigned, the gardens unfold through sophisticated stone pathways leading to outdoor living areas, panoramic terraces and secluded corners immersed in nature. At the heart of the grounds stands a charming early-20th-century gazebo, naturally shaded and surrounded by luxuriant hydrangeas—an idyllic setting for relaxing or entertaining guests in an atmosphere of timeless elegance.

A little further on, the spectacular 16-metre heated saltwater infinity pool appears to merge seamlessly with the lake below. The generous sun terrace features an outdoor shower, a fully furnished dining area and a completely equipped outdoor kitchen with barbecue, designed to make the most of al fresco living in exceptional comfort.

The entrance to the villa opens into an impressive 120 sq m reception room, distinguished by soaring ceilings, expansive lake-facing windows and an extraordinary trompe-l'œil framed by classical columns, creating an atmosphere of timeless sophistication.

Adjacent to the entrance is the villa’s original greenhouse, now transformed into an elegant winter garden. The space retains its original exposed-stone walls and has been enhanced with mature plants, a remarkable collection of bonsai and a contemporary fireplace, creating an intimate and refined retreat. The spacious kitchen, custom designed and crafted by Molteni&C, is complemented by a welcoming breakfast area.

The main residence offers magnificent entertaining spaces and comprises six elegant suites, each with its own private bathroom, together with a charming single bedroom located in the panoramic tower. All bedrooms are air-conditioned and enjoy lake views. A private lift conveniently connects the garage with all three levels of the villa.

The residence has been meticulously preserved, retaining many of its original architectural features. Stone flooring, refined wrought-iron details and exquisite period decorations bear witness to the property’s historic character and enduring charm. The interiors are further enhanced by bespoke furnishings by Molteni&C and a carefully curated selection of pieces by some of Italy’s most distinguished designers, creating a harmonious balance between heritage, elegance and contemporary sophistication.

Despite its exceptionally peaceful and private setting, the property is just a five-minute drive from the village of Argegno, renowned for its restaurants, cafés, boutiques, ferry connections and public beach.

The property also includes an elegant guest house of approximately 260 sq m arranged over two levels, set within its own private garden and featuring a private swimming pool and garage. Designed to ensure maximum privacy and independence, the guest house comprises three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a spacious living room, making it an ideal retreat for family and guests seeking complete comfort and discretion. The guest house also benefits from a private 40 sqm garage and a swimming pool measuring approximately 7 x 3 metres.

Completing the property is a substantial approximately 200 sq m garage, comfortably accommodating at least six cars.

Currently operated successfully as a prestigious luxury rental residence while also serving as a private home for the owners, this exceptional property represents a rare opportunity both as an exclusive family residence and as a highly valuable real estate investment.

Combining complete privacy with one of the most sought-after panoramic positions on Lake Como, the villa enjoys a strategic location between the city of Como and the renowned Tremezzina area. Its privileged position allows easy access to the lake’s most exclusive destinations while preserving an atmosphere of exceptional tranquillity, privacy and exclusivity.
