One of the most prestigious private residences on Lake Como, this outstanding Liberty-style villa was built in 1911 and benefits from an exceptional situation perched above the picturesque lakeside village of Argegno.

Set in approximately 3,000m2 of beautifully landscaped grounds, the 9 bedroom property enjoys superb 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 jasmine arches.

Recently redesigned, the gardens unfold through sophisticated stone pathways leading to outdoor living areas, panoramic terraces and secluded corners. 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 blend seamlessly into the lake below. There is a generous sun terrace with outdoor shower, a fully furnished dining area and a 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 120m2 reception room, enhanced by high ceilings, expansive lake-facing windows and an extraordinary trompe-l'oeil framed by classical columns, creating an atmosphere of timeless sophistication.

Next 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 impressive 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.

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, cafes, boutiques, ferry connections and public beach.

Buying Real Estate in Italy

1. Making the Offer to Purchase (Offerta)

Once you have found the property you wish to purchase you will start the process by making a formal offer to the vendor, the estate agent will act on your behalf and put forward the offer, a deposit will be made available, generally around (10,000 - 20,000 EUR). Once the vendor has accepted the offer it will be formalised in writing to the vendor in both English and Italian. If this is accepted the deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid to the vendor. This will form a legally binding contract. Neither party may withdraw at this point, the sale can be forced by either party or a claim for damages can be made. If the purchaser withdraws their deposit will be lost, if the vendor withdraws the purchaser can claim twice the deposit in compensation.

2. Signing the Preliminary Contract (Compromesso or Contratto preliminare)

The next step will take place between 1 and 3 months after the offer has been accepted, this is a formal agreement between the vendor and purchaser to sell and buy the property, this agreement is the Preliminary Contract and will contain the conditions and terms of the sale. It is important at this stage that you have a full understanding of all the details contained in the contract. We would strongly recommend that you appoint a Notary who is fluent in English. This document will include the purchase price, a detailed description of the property including completion date and will cover any obligations placed upon the buyer and the vendor. All information relating to the property including any planning permissions for the property and the cadastral details (a public record, survey, or map of the value, extent, and ownership of land as a basis of taxation). Once the Preliminary Contract (Contratto preliminare) has been signed a further deposit (Caparra Confirmatoria) will be paid, this will generally be 10% - 20% of the purchase price. There will also be an estate agents Commission Fee (Provvigione) which will need to be paid at this point.

3. Signing the Final Deed of Sale (Rogito or Atto Notarile)

The purchaser must have a bank account in order to make the purchase on completion. The signing of the final deed of sale which will authorise the transfer of the property must be overseen by a Notary (Notaio). The buyer will select and hire the Notary, but they are members of an independent body of public/professionals who will draft the purchase deed, they will oversee the passing of the title legally from the vendor to the purchaser. The Notary will also verify the legality of the documentation and registration with the Conservatoria dei Registri Immobiliari and the Local Land Register.

4. Formalities to be observed after Completion

Foreign buyers should obtain a certified copy of the Purchase Deed (Rogito), which the Notary will have lodged with the authorities. Generally this will be available to collect around 2 – 3 weeks after completion. The Notary will also give you a form to complete for the the local authority (Questura) who will have been given formal notice of the purchase. Your Notary will help you to complete this form. You will need to contact the utilities companies to set up new contracts (power, water, telephone, gas etc.). If the property is a flat, the condominium manager (Amministratore del condominio) should be informed of change of ownership of the property.
