Lakefront elegance on Lake Como

In Limonta, a hamlet of Oliveto Lario along the western shore of Lake Como, stands a property that embodies the most authentic and secluded essence of the area. A private and enchanting setting, where wooded slopes dotted with chestnut trees meet the clear, silent waters of the lake. Immersed in a remarkable balance of nature, history, and modernity, the villa offers a tangible promise of well-being: nature trails, olive groves, and glimpses of the village create an authentic and restorative atmosphere for everyday life. Just a few kilometers from Bellagio, the property enjoys a privileged and private location. Designed in 1969 and completed in 1971 by the renowned architect Ico Parisi, the residence represents a perfect synthesis of aesthetic research, technical expertise, and design thinking. Its architecture engages with the landscape through a refined balance of volumes, large glass surfaces, and openings designed to enhance natural light and lake views. Set along the hillside in a commanding position, the villa was meticulously renovated in 2020, enhancing both materials and performance: premium finishes such as marble and large-format porcelain stoneware, double-glazed windows, an advanced home automation system, and independent heating and cooling systems. On the ground floor, a striking entrance with a marble feature wall leads into a bright living area, seamlessly connected to the portico through large sliding glass doors that fully open onto the lake. The modern and functional kitchen sits alongside the dining area. The sleeping area offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including one en suite serving the master bedroom. The lower level features a lower-level lounge with fireplace and bar area, an additional bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom, a cellar, and utility spaces ideal for guests or staff. Outside, approximately 1,500 sqm of private garden surround the property, creating an exclusive oasis with swimming pool, sunbathing area, and heated whirlpool. The experience is completed by direct private access to the lake with a fully equipped boathouse, pier, and two electric winches, as well as dedicated service rooms including a changing room and bathroom. A large panoramic terrace crowns the property, offering a privileged viewpoint over the lake and its breathtaking scenery.
