Description
The villa, built at the end of the 19th century, is surrounded by a park of more than 4 ha (10 acres), lying on the eastern shore of Lake Annone: careful care by the current owner, has restored it to its former glory with its oak trees, magnolias, cedars from Lebanon, beech trees, and the very rare taxodiums, with fairytale aerial roots. Already walking along the entrance avenue, in fact, approaching the villa and the lake, we seem to enter a magical and romantic atmosphere. Upon entering the villa, we realize that the wonderful view of the lake will be the protagonist, in every room: from the living rooms, to the dining room, to the bedrooms, to the large attic where the pool table is located, from every window or large window, there are unique and romantic views, on the very calm waters of Lake Annone. On the ground floor of the villa there is a first living room with a large functioning fireplace, a beautiful dining room, the large kitchen, a studio entirely built with beautiful paneling, a more cozy TV lounge, some service rooms and a first suite, with exit to the park and the lake. On the first floor there are 4 bedrooms, a splendid library and a sitting room, in addition to the three relevant bathrooms: both the beautiful terrace overlooking the park and the balconies pertaining to the rooms are very pleasant. On the top floor, in the attic, in addition to two bedrooms and a bathroom, there is space for the large recreation room with pool table, table tennis and table football. The villa, renovated by the current owner in the early 2000s, is in a good state of maintenance and is constantly lived by the property, as a second home. In a portion of the villa, most recently renovated to make it a small relais, three small suites and a shared living-breakfast area have been created. The relais has independent access from the villa, but of course it can be re-attached to it, with the simple reopening of an internal door. In the park, a building of about 150 sqm (1615 sq.ft.), on two levels, once intended as a stable, has recently been completely renovated and is suitable for convivial use, for the organization of family events, parties, dances, and is also equipped with a functional equipped kitchen area, a wood oven and a large fireplace. A small greenhouse, behind the stable, is another small jewel, which introduces a romantic and secluded place: the rose garden. The large 23x8m pool is entirely made of white quartzite slabs; adjacent to the pool, the hot tub is placed on a stone wall from which a cascading jet emerges. In addition to outdoor showers, there are large underground changing rooms and service rooms. With 8/10 minutes by car, from the villa, we are on Lake Como, in Lecco; Como, always by car, can be reached in 20 minutes. Bellagio will take 40 minutes by car.
