Virginia 16  New Listing

Property Description

Property Summary

Villa Virginia is an elegant early twentieth-century property nestled in Moltrasio, Italy, offering a refined lakefront retreat on the shores of Lake Como. This distinguished villa remains in the care of the noble Swiss family who originally fell in love with the area and established their Italian residence here. Following a meticulous restoration completed in 2008, the property now seamlessly blends historical charm with contemporary amenities. You will find exquisite tapestries and fine fabrics throughout, beautifully crafted wooden floors featuring geometric inlays, original paintings adorning the walls, and carefully preserved family period furnishings. Modern conveniences include a fully equipped kitchen, internet WiFi connectivity, and a plasma television with satellite channels. The villa provides direct views over the lake and is surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds. A stunning panoramic swimming pool overlooks the water, while ample parking ensures convenience for your stay. The outdoor spaces include a generous 70-square-meter terrace that opens directly onto the lake, offering exceptional privacy for relaxation and sunbathing.

Outdoors

The villa is embraced by a beautifully maintained garden that enhances the property's lakefront setting. The panoramic swimming pool commands breathtaking views over Lake Como, though you should note that the pool area is not enclosed by fencing, which requires supervision if you are traveling with children. The expansive 70-square-meter terrace provides a private sanctuary where you can immerse yourself in the spectacular lake vistas while enjoying complete seclusion. Direct lake access is available from the property, allowing you to swim in the pristine waters of Lake Como. The villa features its own private dock, from which you can arrange rental boats or water taxis to explore the enchanting lakeside villages including Menaggio, Bellagio, and Tremezzo. The outdoor areas are thoughtfully designed to maximize your enjoyment of the extraordinary natural surroundings and the tranquil waterfront location.

Other Information

As characteristic of lakeside properties in this region, a local road runs behind the villa. This is not the main Lake Como thoroughfare but rather a quieter local route. All rooms with the exception of one are oriented toward the lake, and the windows throughout the property are fitted with triple glazing to ensure your comfort and minimize any external noise. Restaurants and shops are conveniently accessible on foot from the villa, allowing you to explore local dining and services with ease.

Distances and Attractions

Villa Virginia enjoys an exceptionally convenient position just a short distance from Cernobbio and only 7 kilometers from the center of Como. The location provides excellent access to public transportation, with a bus stop situated just 150 meters from the property and the Navigazione dei Laghi ferry pier located 400 meters away. This connectivity makes the villa an ideal base for both leisure exploration and business purposes. You can easily venture out to discover the captivating villages dotting the shores of Lake Como, each offering distinctive character, cultural treasures, and culinary experiences. The combination of proximity to Como's urban amenities and the serene lakefront setting provides you with the perfect balance of accessibility and peaceful retreat.
