Lombardy, Como, Italy

In the quiet and charming village of Albese con Cassano, a few minutes from Lake Como and the main routes to Milan and Switzerland, we have a period villa dating back to 1850. The property is the result of a skillful renovation focused on enhancing and fully respecting the history, materials and building techniques of the period. The mansion boasts a surface area of 700 m2 and enjoys a splendid planted and lighted park covering 1.2 hectares. Said park turns out to be embellished with centuries-old plants such as a splendid redwood or the enchanting rose garden, all made even more enjoyable by the well-kept paths around the property. The structure of the villa is horseshoe-shaped and is divided into several independent units, the master wing insists on the left and central body of the property and is arranged as follows: on the ground floor entrance hall, triple living room with elegant fireplaces and Lombard terracotta floors, large kitchen with period fireplace with seating and cleverly updated with a ventilated fireplace, service and ancillary rooms. A comfortable and elegant staircase leads to the sleeping area of the master wing equipped with 5 bedrooms, as well as two study rooms, 3 bathrooms, one of which has a Jacuzzi, a convenient laundry room and two balconies overlooking the park. The materials used in the sleeping area are also of the highest quality such as exclusive parquet and Tuscan terracotta floors, travertine and marble in the bathrooms. From the sleeping area via a spiral staircase there is access to the comfortable and usable attic suitable for a variety of uses.
In the right wing of the property are two additional independent units also in perfect state of maintenance. On the ground floor there is a two-room apartment; on the first floor there is a three-room apartment with a kitchen, living room with fireplace and an accessory room with an ironing room. Also detached from the main body of the villa, we find beautiful and characteristic detached house called "painter's house" consisting of living room, kitchen, double bedroom and storage room. The undoubted charm, the important square footage, the division of space into several independent units, make this property suitable for multiple uses: from the main or representative residence to mid and short term rental.
